[PATCH] Introduce diff-tree-helper.
This patch introduces a new program, diff-tree-helper. It reads
output from diff-cache and diff-tree, and produces a patch file.
The diff format customization can be done the same way the
show-diff uses; the same external diff interface introduced by
the previous patch to drive diff from show-diff is used so this
is not surprising.
It is used like the following examples:
$ diff-cache --cached -z <tree> | diff-tree-helper -z -R paths...
$ diff-tree -r -z <tree1> <tree2> | diff-tree-helper -z paths...
- As usual, the use of the -z flag is recommended in the script
to pass NUL-terminated filenames through the pipe between
commands.
- The -R flag is used to generate reverse diff. It does not
matter for diff-tree case, but it is sometimes useful to get
a patch in the desired direction out of diff-cache.
- The paths parameters are used to restrict the paths that
appears in the output. Again this is useful to use with
diff-cache, which, unlike diff-tree, does not take such paths
restriction parameters.
