It turns out that the earlier effort to update the heuristics may
want to use a bit more time to mature. Turn it off by default.

reports that a change to add a new "function" with common ending
with the existing one at the end of the file is shown like this:
def foo
do_foo_stuff()
+ common_ending()
+end
+
+def bar
+ do_bar_stuff()
+
common_ending()
end
when the new heuristic is in use. In reality, the change is to add
the blank line before "def bar" and everything below, which is what
the code without the new heuristic shows.
Disable the heuristics by default, and resurrect the documentation
for the option and the configuration variables, while clearly
marking the feature as still experimental.

It seems that people around here are all happy with the updated
heuristics used to decide where the hunks are separated. Let's keep
that as the default. Even though we do not expect too much trouble
from the difference between the old and the new algorithms, just in
case let's leave the implementation of the knobs to turn it off for
emergencies. There is no longer need for documenting them, though.

In order to produce the smallest possible diff and combine several diff
hunks together, we implement a heuristic from GNU Diff which moves diff
hunks forward as far as possible when we find common context above and
below a diff hunk. This sometimes produces less readable diffs when
writing C, Shell, or other programming languages, ie:
...
/*
+ *
+ *
+ */
+
+/*
...
instead of the more readable equivalent of
...
+/*
+ *
+ *
+ */
+
/*
...
Implement the following heuristic to (optionally) produce the desired
output.
If there are diff chunks which can be shifted around, shift each hunk
such that the last common empty line is below the chunk with the rest
of the context above.
This heuristic appears to resolve the above example and several other
common issues without producing significantly weird results. However, as
with any heuristic it is not really known whether this will always be
more optimal. Thus, it can be disabled via diff.compactionHeuristic.

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.
Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".
This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written
scripts will not be affected.

The description was misleading, since "set to any boolean value" include
"set to false", and diff.renames=false does not enable basic detection,
but actually disables it. Also, document that diff.renames only affects
Porcelain.

'git status' and 'git commit' can be told to also show the output of "git
submodule summary" by setting the "status.submodulesummary" config option.
But status and commit also honor the "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and the
"submodule.<name>.ignore" settings, which then disable the summary partly
or completely. This - and the fact that the last two settings do not
affect the "git submodule" commands at all - is not well documented.
Extend the documentation in those places where "status.submodulesummary",
"diff.ignoreSubmodules" and "submodule.<name>.ignore" are described to
better explain these dependencies.

Some users or projects prefer different algorithms over others, e.g.
patience over myers or similar. However, specifying appropriate
argument every time diff is to be used is impractical. Moreover,
creating an alias doesn't play nicely with other tools based on diff
(git-show for instance). Hence, a configuration variable which is able
to set specific algorithm is needed. For now, these four values are
accepted: 'myers' (which has the same effect as not setting the config
variable at all), 'minimal', 'patience' and 'histogram'.

Introduce a configuration variable diff.context that tells
Porcelain commands to use a non-default number of context
lines instead of 3 (the default). With this variable, users
do not have to keep repeating "git log -U8" from the command
line; instead, it becomes sufficient to say "git config
diff.context 8" just once.

Config option diff.statGraphWidth=<width> is equivalent to
--stat-graph-width=<width>, except that the config option is ignored
by format-patch.
For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen
'automatically' once configured, hence the config option.
Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a
wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch,
which adheres to the 80-column standard.

This patch adds an alternative implementation of show_dirstat(), called
show_dirstat_by_line(), which uses the more expensive diffstat analysis
(as opposed to show_dirstat()'s own (relatively inexpensive) analysis)
to derive the numbers from which the --dirstat output is computed.
The alternative implementation is controlled by the new "lines" parameter
to the --dirstat option (or the diff.dirstat config variable).
For binary files, the diffstat analysis counts bytes instead of lines,
so to prevent binary files from dominating the dirstat results, the
byte counts for binary files are divided by 64 before being compared to
their textual/line-based counterparts. This is a stupid and ugly - but
very cheap - heuristic.
In linux-2.6.git, running the three different --dirstat modes:
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=changes > /dev/null
vs.
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=lines > /dev/null
vs.
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=files > /dev/null
yields the following average runtimes on my machine:
- "changes" (default): ~6.0 s
- "lines": ~9.6 s
- "files": ~0.1 s
So, as expected, there's a considerable performance hit (~60%) by going
through the full diffstat analysis as compared to the default "changes"
analysis (obviously, "files" is much faster than both). As such, the
"lines" mode is probably only useful if you really need the --dirstat
numbers to be consistent with the numbers returned from the other
--*stat options.
The patch also includes documentation and tests for the new dirstat mode.

The new diff.dirstat config variable takes the same arguments as
'--dirstat=<args>', and specifies the default arguments for --dirstat.
The config is obviously overridden by --dirstat arguments passed on the
command line.
When not specified, the --dirstat defaults are 'changes,noncumulative,3'.
The patch also adds several tests verifying the interaction between the
diff.dirstat config variable, and the --dirstat command line option.

provided there is a corresponding 'difftool.<tool>.cmd' option. Also,

Although the gitattributes page contains comprehensive information
about these configuration options, they should be included in the
config documentation for completeness.
It may be better to rename the "driver" in "diff.<driver>.*" to
something like "content type" or "file type", but for now, let's keep
it consistent across this part of the documentation and the original
description in the gitattributes documentation.
