Even if "foo" and/or "bar" does not exist in index, "git diff foo bar"
should not change behaviour drastically from "git diff foo bar baz" or
"git diff foo". A feature that "sometimes works and is handy" is an
unreliable cute hack.
"git diff foo bar" outside a git repository continues to work as a more
colourful alternative to "diff -u" as before.

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

diff --no-index: fix --name-status with added files
Don't smash stack when $GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES is too long
Without this patch, an added file would be reported as /dev/null.

Panagiotis Issaris reports that some MUAs seem not to like
folded "content-type" and "content-disposition" headers, so this
makes format-patch --attach output to avoid them.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The existing --attach option did not create a true "attachment"
but multipart/mixed with Content-Disposition: inline. It should
have been with Content-Disposition: attachment.
Introduce --inline to add multipart/mixed that is inlined, and
make --attach to create an attachement.

Now that "git diff" handles stdin and relative paths outside the
working tree correctly, we can convert all instances of "diff -u"
to "git diff".
This commit is really the result of
$ perl -pi.bak -e 's/diff -u/git diff/' $(git grep -l "diff -u" t/)

(cherry picked from commit c699a40d68215c7e44a5b26117a35c8a56fbd387)
This changes one test commit in the sequence to have more than
one lines of commit log. A few output formats (--pretty=email
aka format-patch and --pretty=oneline) need to behave
differently on single and multi-line log, and this change will
help catching breakages.

This way we don't have to remember to set it for each test; and
if we forget, we won't cause interactive editors to be spawned
for non-interactive tests.
