After changing all "-|" open invocations to list form, commitdiff for initial commit (without parent) got broken; it returned incorrectly empty patch earlier. Use '--root' option to git-diff-tree for initial (root) commit. No checking for empty $hash_parent in git_commitdiff_plain -- we rely on gitweb to give correct parameters for commitdiff_plain action. Noticed by Matthias Lederhofer (matled).
