apply: fix infinite loop with multiple patches with --index
When multiple patches are passed to git-apply, it will attempt

This change makes git-apply only open the index once and
write the index at exit.

When we cut off the front of a filename to make it fit on the line, we add
a "..." in front. However, the way the "git diff" code was written, we
will never reset the prefix back to the empty string, so every single
filename afterwards will have the "..." prefix, whether appropriate or
not.
You can see this with "git diff v2.6.16.." on the current kernel tree,
since there are filenames with long names that changed there:
notice how the two Documentation/firmware** filenames caused the "..." to
be added, but then the later filenames don't want it, and it also screws
up the alignment of the line numbering afterwards.
Trivially fixed by moving the declaration (and initial setting) of the
"prefix" variable into the for-loop where it is used.

Fix users of prefix_path() to free() only when necessary
Unfortunately, prefix_path() sometimes returns a newly xmalloc()ed buffer,
and in other cases it returns a substring!
For example, when calling
git update-index ./hello.txt
prefix_path() returns "hello.txt", but does not allocate a new buffer. The
original code only checked if the result of prefix_path() was different from
what was passed in, and thusly trigger a segmentation fault.

If the variable we need to store should go into a section
that currently only has a single variable (not matching
the one we're trying to insert), we will already be into
the next section before we notice we've bypassed the correct
location to insert the variable.
To handle this case we store the current location as soon
as we find a variable matching the section of our new
variable.

This updates the user interface and generated diff data format.
* "diff --binary" is used to signal that we want an e-mailable
binary patch. It implies --full-index and -p.
* "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym
"apply --binary".
* After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token
to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we
can extend it later. Currently there are two mechanisms
defined: "literal" and "delta". The former records the
deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta
from the preimage to postimage.
For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated
length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the
decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while
inflating). Improvement patches are very welcomed.
This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.
On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line. This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.
This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:
Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.
On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

improve diff-delta with sparse and/or repetitive data
It is useless to preserve multiple hash entries for consecutive blocks
with the same hash. Keeping only the first one will allow for matching
the longest string of identical bytes while subsequent blocks will only
allow for shorter matches. The backward matching code will match the
end of it as necessary.
This improves both performances (no repeated string compare with long
successions of identical bytes, or even small group of bytes), as well
as compression (less likely to need random hash bucket entry culling),
especially with sparse files.
With well behaved data sets this patch doesn't change much.

gitk: Allow view to specify arbitrary arguments to git-rev-list
The list of arguments to git-rev-list, including arguments that

If any arguments are given to gitk, they become part of the
"Command line" view, and the non-file arguments become the default
for any new views created.
Getting an error from git-rev-list is no longer fatal; instead the
error window pops up, and when you press OK, the main window just
shows "No commits selected".
The git-rev-list arguments are entered in an entry widget in the
view editor window using shell quoting conventions, not Tcl quoting
conventions.

gitk: Fix file list display when files are renamed
The conversion of the file list to use a text widget assumed incorrectly
that the list of files from git-diff-tree -r would correspond 1-1 with
the diff sections in the output of git-diff-tree -r -p -C, which is
not true when renames are detected. This fixes it by keeping the
elements in the difffilestart list in the order they appear in the
file list window.
Since this means that the elements of difffilestart are no longer
necessarily in ascending order, it's somewhat hard to do the dynamic
highlighting in the file list as the diff window is scrolled, so I
have taken that out for now.
