diff-format doc: a score can follow M for rewrite

2015-01-29T06:22:03+00:00

b6d8f309 (diff-raw format update take #2., 2005-05-23) started
documenting the diff format, and it said

 ...
 (8) sha1 for "dst"; 0{40} if creation, unmerged or "look at work tree".
 (9) status, followed by similarlity index number only for C and R.
 (10) a tab or a NUL when '-z' option is used.
 ...

because C and R _were_ the only ones that came with a number back
then.  This was corrected by ddafa7e9 (diff-helper: Fix R/C score
parsing under -z flag., 2005-05-29) and we started saying "score"
instead of "similarlity index" (because we can have other kind of
score there), and stopped saying "only for C and R" (because Git is
an ever evolving system).  Later f345b0a0 (Add -B flag to diff-*
brothers., 2005-05-30) introduced a new concept, "dissimilarity"
score; it did not have to fix any documentation.

The current text that says only C and R can have scores came
independently from a5a323f3 (Add reference for status letters in
documentation., 2008-11-02) and it was wrong from the day one.

This includes mentioning the initial hash output of diff-tree, and
changes the header to "raw output format" which is more descriptive.

git-diff --numstat -z: make it machine readable

2007-12-12T18:59:22+00:00

The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed
paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible.  The scripts would
never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format.

This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward
incompatible way.

 * The output without -z is not changed.  This has given a good way for
   humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the
   path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability.

 * The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames.
   Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all.

 * The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can
   easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path.

This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch.  Bugs and documentation typos
are mine.

git-diff.txt: add section "output format" describing the diff formats

2007-11-02T00:07:22+00:00

git-diff.txt includes diff-options.txt which for the -p option refers
to a section "generating patches.." which is missing from the git-diff
documentation.  This patch adapts diff-format.txt to additionally
mention the git-diff program, and includes diff-format.txt into
git-diff.txt.

diff: round down similarity index

2007-06-25T08:51:21+00:00

Rounding down the printed (dis)similarity index allows us to use
"100%" as a special value that indicates complete rewrites and
fully equal file contents, respectively.

War on whitespace

2007-06-07T07:04:01+00:00

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.
