If the supplied integer for "precision" is negative in
`"%.*s", len, line` then it is ignored. So the current code is
equivalent to just `"%s", line` because it is executed only if
`len` is negative.
Fix this by saving the value of `len` before overwriting it with the
return value of `parse_git_diff_header()`.

`git range-diff` calls `git log` internally and tries to parse its
output. But `git log` output can be customized by the user in their
git config and for certain configurations either an error will be
returned by `git range-diff` or it will crash.
To fix this explicitly set the output format of the internally
executed `git log` with `--pretty=medium`. Because that cancels
`--notes`, add explicitly `--notes` at the end.
Also, make sure we never crash in the same way - trying to dereference
`util` which was never created and has remained NULL. It would happen
if the first line of `git log` output does not begin with 'commit '.
Alternative considered but discarded - somehow disable all git configs
and behave as if no config is present in the internally executed
`git log`, but that does not seem to be possible. GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
is the closest to it, but even with that we would still read
`.git/config`.

When parsing the diffs, `range-diff` expects to see the prefixes `a/`
and `b/` in the diff headers.
These prefixes can be forced off via the config setting
`diff.noprefix=true`. As `range-diff` is not prepared for that
situation, this will cause a segmentation fault.
Let's avoid that by passing the `--no-prefix` option to the `git log`
process that generates the diffs that `range-diff` wants to parse.
And of course expect the output to have no prefixes, then.

Currently range-diff keeps the diff header of the inner diff
intact (apart from stripping lines starting with index). This diff
header is somewhat useful, especially when files get different
names in different ranges.
However there is no real need to keep the whole diff header for that.
The main reason we currently do that is probably because it is easy to
do.
Introduce a new range diff hunk header, that's enclosed by "##",
similar to how line numbers in diff hunks are enclosed by "@@", and
give human readable information of what exactly happened to the file,
including the file name.
This improves the readability of the range-diff by giving more concise
information to the users. For example if a file was renamed in one
iteration, but not in another, the diff of the headers would be quite
noisy. However the diff of a single line is concise and should be
easier to understand.
Additionally, this allows us to add these range diff section headers to
the outer diffs hunk headers using a custom userdiff pattern, which
should help making the range-diff more readable.

range-diffs are not meant to be machine readable.
In a subsequent commit we're going to add some more contextual

to indicate that a new hunk of the outer diff is starting.

When postprocessing the inner diff in range-diff, we currently replace
the whole hunk header line with just "@@". This matches how 'git
tbdiff' used to handle hunk headers as well.
Most likely this is being done because line numbers in the hunk header
are not relevant without other changes. They can for example easily
change if a range is rebased, and lines are added/removed before a
change that we actually care about in our ranges.
However it can still be useful to have the function name that 'git
diff' extracts as additional context for the change.
Note that it is not guaranteed that the hunk header actually shows up
in the range-diff, and this change only aims to improve the case where
a hunk header would already be included in the final output.

The "--no-patch" option, which can be used to get a high-level
overview without the actual line-by-line patch difference shown, of
the "range-diff" command was earlier broken, which has been
corrected.
* ab/range-diff-no-patch:
range-diff: make diff option behavior (e.g. --stat) consistent
range-diff: fix regression in passing along diff options
range-diff doc: add a section about output stability
Make the behavior when diff options (e.g. "--stat") are passed
consistent with how "diff" behaves.
Before 73a834e9e2 ("range-diff: relieve callers of low-level
configuration burden", 2018-07-22) running range-diff with "--stat"
would produce stat output and the diff output, as opposed to how
"diff" behaves where once "--stat" is specified "--patch" also needs
to be provided to emit the patch output.
As noted in a previous change ("range-diff doc: add a section about
output stability", 2018-11-07) the "--stat" output with "range-diff"
is useless at the moment.
But we should behave consistently with "diff" in anticipation of such
output being useful in the future, because it would make for confusing
UI if "diff" and "range-diff" behaved differently when it came to how
they interpret diff options.
The new behavior is also consistent with the existing documentation
added in ba931edd28 ("range-diff: populate the man page",
2018-08-13). See "[...]also accepts the regular diff options[...]" in
git-range-diff(1).

behavior for some of these diff options.
As noted in a change leading up to this ("range-diff doc: add a

to be stable. So this regression test will likely need to be tweaked

If we have `submodule.diff = log' in the configuration file
or `--submodule=log' is given as argument, range-diff fails
to compare both diffs and we only get the following output:
Submodule a 0000000...0000000 (new submodule)
Even if the repository doesn't have any submodule.
That's because the mode in diff_filespec is not correct and when
flushing the diff, down in builtin_diff() we will enter the condition:
if (o->submodule_format == DIFF_SUBMODULE_LOG &&
(!one->mode || S_ISGITLINK(one->mode)) &&
(!two->mode || S_ISGITLINK(two->mode))) {
show_submodule_summary(o, one->path ? one->path : two->path,
&one->oid, &two->oid,
two->dirty_submodule);

The range-diff coloring is a bit fuzzy when it comes to special lines of
a diff, such as indicating new and old files with +++ and ---, as it
would pickup the first character and interpret it for its coloring, which
seems annoying as in regular diffs, these lines are colored bold via
DIFF_METAINFO.
By indenting these lines by a white space, they will be treated as context
which is much more useful, an example [1] on the range diff series itself:
[...]
+ diff --git a/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt
+ new file mode 100644
+ --- /dev/null
+ +++ b/Documentation/git-range-diff.txt
+@@
++git-range-diff(1)
[...]
+
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile
--- a/Makefile
+++ b/Makefile
[...]
The first lines that introduce the new file for the man page will have the
'+' sign colored and the rest of the line will be bold.
The later lines that indicate a change to the Makefile will be treated as
context both in the outer and inner diff, such that those lines stay
regular color.

'diff_options' output format, header suppression, indentation, and
dual-color mode must all be set appropriately to ensure proper behavior.
Handle these details locally in the libified range-diff back-end rather
than forcing each caller to have specialized knowledge of these
implementation details, and to avoid duplication as new callers are
added.
While at it, localize these tweaks to be active only while generating

Just like tbdiff, we now show the diff between matching patches. This is
a "diff of two diffs", so it can be a bit daunting to read for the
beginner.
An alternative would be to display an interdiff, i.e. the hypothetical
diff which is the result of first reverting the old diff and then
applying the new diff.
Especially when rebasing frequently, an interdiff is often not feasible,
though: if the old diff cannot be applied in reverse (due to a moving
upstream), an interdiff can simply not be inferred.
This commit brings `range-diff` closer to feature parity with regard
to tbdiff.
To make `git range-diff` respect e.g. color.diff.* settings, we have
to adjust git_branch_config() accordingly.
Note: while we now parse diff options such as --color, the effect is not
yet the same as in tbdiff, where also the commit pairs would be colored.
This is left for a later commit.
Note also: while tbdiff accepts the `--no-patches` option to suppress
these diffs between patches, we prefer the `-s` (or `--no-patch`) option
that is automatically supported via our use of diff_opt_parse().
And finally note: to support diff options, we have to call
`parse_options()` such that it keeps unknown options, and then loop over
those and let `diff_opt_parse()` handle them. After that loop, we have
to call `parse_options()` again, to make sure that no unknown options
are left.

The idea is simple: for left-to-right readers, it is natural to assume
that the `git range-diff` is performed between an older vs a newer
version of the branch. As such, the user is probably more interested in
the question "where did this come from?" rather than "where did that one

At this stage, `git range-diff` can determine corresponding commits
of two related commit ranges. This makes use of the recently introduced
implementation of the linear assignment algorithm.
The core of this patch is a straight port of the ideas of tbdiff, the
apparently dormant project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff.
The output does not at all match `tbdiff`'s output yet, as this patch
really concentrates on getting the patch matching part right.
Note: due to differences in the diff algorithm (`tbdiff` uses the Python
module `difflib`, Git uses its xdiff fork), the cost matrix calculated
by `range-diff` is different (but very similar) to the one calculated
by `tbdiff`. Therefore, it is possible that they find different matching
commits in corner cases (e.g. when a patch was split into two patches of
roughly equal length).
