-diff API
-========
-
-The diff API is for programs that compare two sets of files (e.g. two
-trees, one tree and the index) and present the found difference in
-various ways.  The calling program is responsible for feeding the API
-pairs of files, one from the "old" set and the corresponding one from
-"new" set, that are different.  The library called through this API is
-called diffcore, and is responsible for two things.
-
-* finding total rewrites (`-B`), renames (`-M`) and copies (`-C`), and
-  changes that touch a string (`-S`), as specified by the caller.
-
-* outputting the differences in various formats, as specified by the
-  caller.
-
-Calling sequence
-----------------
-
-* Prepare `struct diff_options` to record the set of diff options, and
-  then call `repo_diff_setup()` to initialize this structure.  This
-  sets up the vanilla default.
-
-* Fill in the options structure to specify desired output format, rename
-  detection, etc.  `diff_opt_parse()` can be used to parse options given
-  from the command line in a way consistent with existing git-diff
-  family of programs.
-
-* Call `diff_setup_done()`; this inspects the options set up so far for
-  internal consistency and make necessary tweaking to it (e.g. if
-  textual patch output was asked, recursive behaviour is turned on);
-  the callback set_default in diff_options can be used to tweak this more.
-
-* As you find different pairs of files, call `diff_change()` to feed
-  modified files, `diff_addremove()` to feed created or deleted files,
-  or `diff_unmerge()` to feed a file whose state is 'unmerged' to the
-  API.  These are thin wrappers to a lower-level `diff_queue()` function
-  that is flexible enough to record any of these kinds of changes.
-
-* Once you finish feeding the pairs of files, call `diffcore_std()`.
-  This will tell the diffcore library to go ahead and do its work.
-
-* Calling `diff_flush()` will produce the output.
-
-
-Data structures
----------------
-
-* `struct diff_filespec`
-
-This is the internal representation for a single file (blob).  It
-records the blob object name (if known -- for a work tree file it
-typically is a NUL SHA-1), filemode and pathname.  This is what the
-`diff_addremove()`, `diff_change()` and `diff_unmerge()` synthesize and
-feed `diff_queue()` function with.
-
-* `struct diff_filepair`
-
-This records a pair of `struct diff_filespec`; the filespec for a file
-in the "old" set (i.e. preimage) is called `one`, and the filespec for a
-file in the "new" set (i.e. postimage) is called `two`.  A change that
-represents file creation has NULL in `one`, and file deletion has NULL
-in `two`.
-
-A `filepair` starts pointing at `one` and `two` that are from the same
-filename, but `diffcore_std()` can break pairs and match component
-filespecs with other filespecs from a different filepair to form new
-filepair.  This is called 'rename detection'.
-
-* `struct diff_queue`
-
-This is a collection of filepairs.  Notable members are:
-
-`queue`::
-
-	An array of pointers to `struct diff_filepair`.  This
-	dynamically grows as you add filepairs;
-
-`alloc`::
-
-	The allocated size of the `queue` array;
-
-`nr`::
-
-	The number of elements in the `queue` array.
-
-
-* `struct diff_options`
-
-This describes the set of options the calling program wants to affect
-the operation of diffcore library with.
-
-Notable members are:
-
-`output_format`::
-	The output format used when `diff_flush()` is run.
-
-`context`::
-	Number of context lines to generate in patch output.
-
-`break_opt`, `detect_rename`, `rename-score`, `rename_limit`::
-	Affects the way detection logic for complete rewrites, renames
-	and copies.
-
-`abbrev`::
-	Number of hexdigits to abbreviate raw format output to.
-
-`pickaxe`::
-	A constant string (can and typically does contain newlines to
-	look for a block of text, not just a single line) to filter out
-	the filepairs that do not change the number of strings contained
-	in its preimage and postimage of the diff_queue.
-
-`flags`::
-	This is mostly a collection of boolean options that affects the
-	operation, but some do not have anything to do with the diffcore
-	library.
-
-`touched_flags`::
-	Records whether a flag has been changed due to user request
-	(rather than just set/unset by default).
-
-`set_default`::
-	Callback which allows tweaking the options in diff_setup_done().
-
-BINARY, TEXT;;
-	Affects the way how a file that is seemingly binary is treated.
-
-FULL_INDEX;;
-	Tells the patch output format not to use abbreviated object
-	names on the "index" lines.
-
-FIND_COPIES_HARDER;;
-	Tells the diffcore library that the caller is feeding unchanged
-	filepairs to allow copies from unmodified files be detected.
-
-COLOR_DIFF;;
-	Output should be colored.
-
-COLOR_DIFF_WORDS;;
-	Output is a colored word-diff.
-
-NO_INDEX;;
-	Tells diff-files that the input is not tracked files but files
-	in random locations on the filesystem.
-
-ALLOW_EXTERNAL;;
-	Tells output routine that it is Ok to call user specified patch
-	output routine.  Plumbing disables this to ensure stable output.
-
-QUIET;;
-	Do not show any output.
-
-REVERSE_DIFF;;
-	Tells the library that the calling program is feeding the
-	filepairs reversed; `one` is two, and `two` is one.
-
-EXIT_WITH_STATUS;;
-	For communication between the calling program and the options
-	parser; tell the calling program to signal the presence of
-	difference using program exit code.
-
-HAS_CHANGES;;
-	Internal; used for optimization to see if there is any change.
-
-SILENT_ON_REMOVE;;
-	Affects if diff-files shows removed files.
-
-RECURSIVE, TREE_IN_RECURSIVE;;
-	Tells if tree traversal done by tree-diff should recursively
-	descend into a tree object pair that are different in preimage
-	and postimage set.
