Philippe Blain found and reported a couple issues with the output of --remerge-diff[1]. After digging in, I think one of them actually counts as two separate issues, so here's a series with three patches to fix these issues. Each includes testcases to keep us from regressing. Changes since v1: * Added a new diff_filepair_is_phoney() function to make the code more self-documenting, as suggested by Junio. * Note: Patch 2, as called out in its commit message, disables TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK for t4069. This is not because I introduce any memory leaks, but because I add new testcases invoking additional parts of the code (pickaxe stuff) which already had pre-existing leaks. This is not a change since v1, but this somehow accidentally got munged out of Junio's application of my v1. Note: The issue fixed by the third commit for --remerge-diff is also an issue exhibited by 'git log --cc $FILTER_RULES $COMMIT' (or by -c instead of --cc). However, as far as I can tell the causes are different and come from separate codepaths; this series focuses on --remerge-diff and hence makes no attempt to fix independent (even if similar) --cc or -c issues.
