Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy e675765235 diff.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index
A new variant repo_diff_setup() is added that takes 'struct repository *'
and diff_setup() becomes a thin macro around it that is protected by
NO_THE_REPOSITORY_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS, similar to NO_THE_INDEX_....
The plan is these macros will always be defined for all library files
and the macros are only accessible in builtin/

Kyle Meyer 72f47be2db range-diff: update stale summary of --no-dual-color
275267937b (range-diff: make dual-color the default mode, 2018-08-13)
replaced --dual-color with --no-dual-color but left the option's
summary untouched.  Rewrite the summary to describe --no-dual-color
rather than dual-color.

Johannes Schindelin 275267937b range-diff: make --dual-color the default mode
After using this command extensively for the last two months, this
developer came to the conclusion that even if the dual color mode still
leaves a lot of room for confusion about what was actually changed, the
non-dual color mode is substantially worse in that regard.

Therefore, we really want to make the dual color mode the default.

Johannes Schindelin 31cf61a080 range-diff: offer to dual-color the diffs
When showing what changed between old and new commits, we show a diff of
the patches. This diff is a diff between diffs, therefore there are
nested +/- signs, and it can be relatively hard to understand what is
going on.

With the --dual-color option, the preimage and the postimage are colored
like the diffs they are, and the *outer* +/- sign is inverted for
clarity.

Johannes Schindelin 1cdde296a5 range-diff: suppress the diff headers
When showing the diff between corresponding patches of the two branch
versions, we have to make up a fake filename to run the diff machinery.

That filename does not carry any meaningful information, hence tbdiff
suppresses it. So we should, too.

Johannes Schindelin 5e242e63d0 range-diff: indent the diffs just like tbdiff
The main information in the `range-diff` view comes from the list of
matching and non-matching commits, the diffs are additional information.
Indenting them helps with the reading flow.

Johannes Schindelin c8c5e43ac3 range-diff: also show the diff between patches
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.

Johannes Schindelin d9c66f0b5b range-diff: first rudimentary implementation
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).

Johannes Schindelin 348ae56cb2 Introduce range-diff to compare iterations of a topic branch
This command does not do a whole lot so far, apart from showing a usage
that is oddly similar to that of `git tbdiff`. And for a good reason:
the next commits will turn `range-branch` into a full-blown replacement
for `tbdiff`.

At this point, we ignore tbdiff's color options, as they will all be
implemented later using diff_options.

Since f318d73915 (generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to
command-list.h, 2018-05-10), every new command *requires* a man page to
build right away, so let's also add a blank man page, too.
