Ok, and here is a totally bogus (but hopefully instructive) patch on how
to actually use this to prepare a diff.
I punted on trying to use the proper git diff interfaces (they are very
tightly tied into the "diff_filespec" model - Junio, it might be nice if
there was some way to use them in a setting where that isn't necessarily
as natural). So the "diff" is actually just the raw output from xlib, but
that wasn't really the point of this.
It was more meant to do part of the the the "git-merge-one-file" logic,
and use that logic together with the git-merge-tree logic to do a "merge"
to diff against.
As an example, with this you can now do
git-merge-tree $(git-merge-base HEAD next) HEAD next
to generate a "kind of" diff between the current HEAD and what would
happen if it got merged with "next".
What (a properly done version of) this would be actually useful for is
when you want to see what the merge results would be. For example, that's
an integral part of sending a "please pull" request: telling the receiver
what the diffstat should be after the pull (even though we don't _locally_
want to actually execute that merge - we expect the remote side to do so).
Anybody want to actually make this useful for something like that?
