2017-06-15diff-highlight: split code into moduleLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
The diff-so-fancy project is also written in perl, and most of its users pipe diffs through both diff-highlight and diff-so-fancy. It would be nice if this could be done in a single script. So let's pull most of diff-highlight's code into its own module which can be used by diff-so-fancy. In addition, we'll abstract a few basic items like reading from stdio so that a script using the module can do more processing before or after diff-highlight handles the lines. See the README update for more details. One small downside is that the diff-highlight script must now be built using the Makefile. There are ways around this, but it quickly gets into perl arcana. Let's go with the simple solution. As a bonus, our Makefile now respects the PERL_PATH variable if it is set. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
