Merge branch 'mh/diff-indent-heuristic'
Output from "git diff" can be made easier to read by selecting
which lines are common and which lines are added/deleted
intelligently when the lines before and after the changed section
are the same. A command line option is added to help with the
experiment to find a good heuristics.
* mh/diff-indent-heuristic:
blame: honor the diff heuristic options and config
parse-options: add parse_opt_unknown_cb()
diff: improve positioning of add/delete blocks in diffs
xdl_change_compact(): introduce the concept of a change group
recs_match(): take two xrecord_t pointers as arguments
is_blank_line(): take a single xrecord_t as argument
xdl_change_compact(): only use heuristic if group can't be matched
xdl_change_compact(): fix compaction heuristic to adjust ixo
