This is a preparation step to start using parse_options() to parse
diff/revision options instead of what we have now. There are a couple
of good things from using parse_options():
- better help usage
- easier to add new options
- better completion support
- help usage generation
- better integration with main command option parser. We can just
concat the main command's option array and diffopt's together and
parse all in one go.
- detect colidding options (e.g. --reverse is used by revision code,
so diff code can't use it as long name for -R)
- consistent syntax, e.g. option that takes mandatory argument will
now accept both "--option=value" and "--option value".
The plan is migrate all diff/rev options to parse_options(). Then we
could get rid of diff_opt_parse() and expose parseopts[] directly to
the caller.

There's an odd bug when "log --color-moved" is used with the combination
of "--cc --stat -p": the stat for merge commits is erroneously shown
with the diff of the _next_ commit.
The included test demonstrates the issue. Our history looks something
like this:
A-B-M--D
\ /
C
When we run "git log --cc --stat -p --color-moved" starting at D, we get
this sequence of events:
1. The diff for D is using -p, so diff_flush() calls into
diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(). There we see that o->color_moved
is in effect, so we point o->emitted_symbols to a static local
struct, causing diff_flush_patch() to queue the symbols instead of
actually writing them out.
We then do our move detection, emit the symbols, and clear the
struct. But we leave o->emitted_symbols pointing to our struct.
2. Next we compute the diff for M. This is a merge, so we use the
combined diff code. In find_paths_generic(), we compute the
pairwise diff between each commit and its parent. Normally this is
done with DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT, since we're just looking for
intersecting paths. But since "--stat --cc" shows the first-parent
stat, and since we're computing that diff anyway, we enable
DIFF_FORMAT_DIFFSTAT for the first parent. This outputs the stat
information immediately, saving us from running a separate
first-parent diff later.
But where does that output go? Normally it goes directly to stdout,
but because o->emitted_symbols is set, we queue it. As a result, we
don't actually print the diffstat for the merge commit (yet), which
is wrong.
3. Next we compute the diff for C. We're actually showing a patch
again, so we end up in diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(), but this
time we have the queued stat from step 2 waiting in our struct.
We add new elements to it for C's diff, and then flush the whole
thing. And we see the diffstat from M as part of C's diff, which is
wrong.
So triggering the bug really does require the combination of all of
those options.
To fix it, we can simply restore o->emitted_symbols to NULL after
flushing it, so that it does not affect anything outside of
diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs(). This intuitively makes sense, since
nobody outside of that function is going to bother flushing it, so we
would not want them to write to it either.
In fact, we could take this a step further and turn the local "esm"
struct into a non-static variable that goes away after the function
ends. However, since it contains a dynamically sized array, we benefit
from amortizing the cost of allocations over many calls. So we'll leave
it as static to retain that benefit.
But let's push the zero-ing of esm.nr into the conditional for "if
(o->emitted_symbols)" to make it clear that we do not expect esm to hold
any values if we did not just try to use it. With the code as it is
written now, if we did encounter such a case (which I think would be a
bug), we'd silently leak those values without even bothering to display
them. With this change, we'd at least eventually show them, and somebody
would notice.

According to getenv(3)'s notes:
The implementation of getenv() is not required to be reentrant. The
string pointed to by the return value of getenv() may be statically
allocated, and can be modified by a subsequent call to getenv(),
putenv(3), setenv(3), or unsetenv(3).
Since strings returned by getenv() are allowed to change on subsequent
calls to getenv(), make sure to duplicate when caching external_diff_cmd
from environment.
This problem becomes apparent on Git for Windows since fe21c6b285
(mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16 <-> UTF-8)),
when the getenv() implementation provided in compat/mingw.c was changed
to keep a certain amount of alloc'ed strings and freeing them on
subsequent calls.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2007:

Currently diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change does not
support indentation that contains a mix of tabs and spaces. For
example in commit 546f70f377 ("convert.h: drop 'extern' from function

lines are not colored as moved [1].
-extern int stream_filter(struct stream_filter *,

- char *output, size_t *osize_p);
+int stream_filter(struct stream_filter *,
+ const char *input, size_t *isize_p,
+ char *output, size_t *osize_p);
This commit changes the way the indentation is handled to track the
visual size of the indentation rather than the characters in the
indentation. This has the benefit that any whitespace errors do not
interfer with the move detection (the whitespace errors will still be
highlighted according to --ws-error-highlight). During the discussion
of this feature there were concerns about the correct detection of
indentation for python. However those concerns apply whether or not
we're detecting moved lines so no attempt is made to determine if the
indentation is 'pythonic'.
[1] Note that before the commit to fix the erroneous coloring of moved
lines each line was colored as a different block, since that commit
they are uncolored.

Currently when using --color-moved=zebra the color of moved blocks
depends on the number of lines separating them. This means that adding
an odd number of unmoved lines between blocks that are already separated
by one or more unmoved lines will change the color of subsequent moved

separated by unmoved lines and causes problems when adding lines to test
cases.

'diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change' can color lines as
moved when they are in fact different. For example in commit
1a07e59c3e ("Update messages in preparation for i18n", 2018-07-21) the
lines
- die (_("must end with a color"));
+ die(_("must end with a color"));
are colored as moved even though they are different.
This is because if there is a fuzzy match for the first line of
a potential moved block the line is marked as moved before the
potential match is checked to see if it actually matches. The fix is
to delay marking the line as moved until after we have checked that
there really is at least one matching potential moved block.
Note that the test modified in the last commit still fails because
adding an unmoved line between two moved blocks that are already
separated by unmoved lines changes the color of the block following the
addition. This should not be the case and will be fixed in the next
commit.

As a result, our xdi_diff_outf() callback throws away all lines except
hunk headers. We can instead use a hunk callback, which has two
benefits:
1. We don't have to re-parse the generated hunk header line, but can
use the passed parameters directly.

* js/diff-notice-has-drive-prefix:
diff: don't attempt to strip prefix from absolute Windows paths
git diff can be invoked with absolute paths. Typically, this triggers
the --no-index case. Then the absolute paths remain in the file names
that are printed in the output.
There is one peculiarity, though: When the command is invoked from a
a sub-directory in a repository, then it is attempted to strip the
sub-directory from the beginning of relative paths. Yet, to detect a
relative path the code just checks for an initial forward slash.
This mistakes a Windows style path like "D:/base" as a relative path
and the output looks like this, for example:
D:\dir\test\one>git -P diff --numstat D:\dir\base D:\dir\diff
1 1 ir/{base => diff}/1.txt
where the correct output should be
D:\dir\test\one>git -P diff --numstat D:\dir\base D:\dir\diff
1 1 D:/dir/{base => diff}/1.txt
If the sub-directory where 'git diff' is invoked is sufficiently deep
that the prefix becomes longer than the path to be printed, then the
subsequent code accesses the path out of bounds.
Use is_absolute_path() to detect Windows style absolute paths.
One might wonder whether the check for a directory separator that
is visible in the patch context should be changed from == '/' to
is_dir_sep() or not. It turns out not to be necessary. That code
only ever investigates paths that have undergone pathspec
normalization, after which there are only forward slashes even on
Windows.

Running
git diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change v2.18.0 v2.19.0
results in a crash due to a double free. This happens when two
potential moved blocks start with consecutive lines. As
pmb_advance_or_null_multi_match() advances it copies the ws_delta from
the last matching line to the next. When the first of our consecutive
lines is advanced its ws_delta well be copied to the second,
overwriting the ws_delta of the block containing the second line. Then
when the second line is advanced it will copy the new ws_delta to the
line below it and so on. Eventually one of these blocks will stop
matching and the ws_delta will be freed. From then on the other block
is in a use-after-free state and when it stops matching it will try to
free the ws_delta that has already been freed by the other block.
The solution is to store the ws_delta in the array of potential moved
blocks rather than with the lines. This means that it no longer needs
to be copied around and one block cannot overwrite the ws_delta of
another. Additionally it saves some malloc/free calls as we don't keep
allocating and freeing ws_deltas.
