log,diff-tree: add --combined-all-paths option
The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if rename or copy detection is active. For example, with raw format one might see: ::100644 100644 100644fabadb8

MM describe.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR phooey.c This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names of phooey.c were in either of the parents. In contrast, for non-merge commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score to boot). In order to also provide original filenames for merge commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when renames are involved. This transforms the above output to: ::100644 100644 100644fabadb8

For example, instead of having --- a/phooey.c +++ b/phooey.c we would see --- a/fooey.c --- a/fuey.c +++ b/phooey.c Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
