The diff output is buffered in a FILE object and could still be
partially buffered when we print these warnings (directly to fd 2).
The output is messed up like this
worktree.c | 138 +-
worktree.h warning: inexact rename detection was skipped due to too many files.
| 12 +-
wrapper.c | 83 +-
It gets worse if the warning is printed after color codes for the graph
part are already printed. You'll get a warning in green or red.
Flush stdout first, so we can get something like this instead:
xdiff/xutils.c | 42 +-
xdiff/xutils.h | 4 +-
1033 files changed, 150824 insertions(+), 69395 deletions(-)
warning: inexact rename detection was skipped due to too many files.
