When running "format-patch" on a multiple patch series, the output
coming from "--interdiff" and "--range-diff" options is inserted
after the "shortlog" list of commits and the overall diffstat.
The idea is that shortlog/diffstat are shorter and with denser
information content, which gives a better overview before the
readers dive into more details of range/inter diff.
When working on a single patch, however, we stuff the inter/range
diff output before the actual patch, next to the diffstat. This
pushes down the patch text way down with inter/range diff output,
distracting readers.
Move the inter/range diff output to the very end of the output,
after all the patch text is shown.
The first patch is a no-op refactoring, the second patch makes the
actual behaviour change.
Junio C Hamano (2):
show_log: factor out interdiff/range-diff generation
format-patch: move range/inter diff at the end of a single patch
