Minor nit.  If this is to be able to see the error condition from
strtoul(), I think it should be done after the "!isdigit()" test,
immediately before we make strtoul() call, to avoid clearing errno
unnecessarily.

We care only about how long the hunk is, and do not care exactly
where in the preimage it sits.  The code looks correct, but for such
a specialized "parser", the name of the function gives a false
impression that it does a lot more.  Finding it only slightly
disturbing.

Pretty bog-standard "read each line" helper.  I suspect we may want
to consolidate multiple copies we may have elsewhere after the dust
settles.  Looking good.

OK.  The only transition that brings us into _BEFORE_HEADER state
is from _IN_DIFF and we consume and clear the current util there
before the transition happens, so this BUG() will trigger only when
there is some programming error, not any data errors.

Good.

Does this work correctly when the input ended with an incomplete
line that lacked the final LF?  find_next_line() would have given
the size of the remaining input, and the byte at line[len-1] is the
last byte on the incomplete line that is not LF.

Cute (in that it tries to use a single "len < 0" for all error
conditions) but moderately hard to follow.

OK.

Do we only accept "-p1" patches?  From time to time we seem to hear
on this list from folks in communities that do not use -p1 (aka a/
and b/) convention.

> +		} else if (state == MBOX_IN_HEADER) {

OK.  After seeing a block of header lines, the first empty line
signals the end of the headers and we transition into a new state.

> +				state = MBOX_IN_COMMIT_MESSAGE;

As an in-body "From:" can have have another blank line or some
in-body header other than "From: " before it at the beginning of an
e-mail body, I do not think this is a good code structure.  I would
have expected that the first blank line would transition us into a
new state (in-commit-messages state) without doing anything else and
in that state:

 - Leading blank lines are skipped, and we will stay in the same state.

 - From:, Subject:, Date:, etc. are interpreted as in-body headers,
   and we will stay in the same state, expecting more in-body
   headers,

 - Everything else will bring us into "we are now really reading the
   log" state (do not lose that line that made us transition into
   the new state---that line is the first line of the body).

would happen.

I am not sure if special casing the empty line above is correct.  I
am assuming that you are pretending as if you read an "git show -s"
output after applying that patch, but "git log" gives a 4-space
indent even for an empty line, I think.  A quick sanity check

    $ git show -s | cat -e

on the patch I am responding to tells me that it is the case.

I'll stop here, as I see Phillip saw the reading of "diff --git"
output well enough to notice that diff.suppressBlankEmpty is handled
correctly and I'd trust his review.

Thanks.
