These patches add fixes and features to the "git patch-id" command, mostly discovered through our usage of patch-id in the revup project (https://github.com/Skydio/revup). On top of that I've tried to make general cleanup changes where I can. Summary: 1: Fixed a bug in the combination of --stable with binary files and header-only, and expanded the test to cover both binary and non-binary files. 2: Switch internal usage of patch-id in rebase / cherry-pick to use the stable variant to reduce the number of code paths and improve testing for bugs like above. 3: Fixed bugs with patch-id and binary diffs. Previously patch-id did not behave correctly for binary diffs regardless of whether "--binary" was given to "diff". 4: Fixed bugs with patch-id and mode changes. Previously mode changes were incorrectly excluded from the patch-id. 5: Add a new "--include-whitespace" mode to patch-id that prevents whitespace from being stripped during id calculation. Also add a config option for the same behavior. 6: Remove unused prefix from patch-id logic. V1->V2: Fixed comment style V2->V3: The ---/+++ lines no longer get added to the patch-id of binary diffs. Also added patches 3-7 in the series. V3->V4: Dropped patch7. Updated flag name to --verbatim. Updated commit message descriptions. V4->V5: Updated commit message for patch 6.
