As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

This updates the hunk header customization syntax. The special
case 'funcname' attribute is gone.
You assign the name of the type of contents to path's "diff"
attribute as a string value in .gitattributes like this:
*.java diff=java
*.perl diff=perl
*.doc diff=doc
If you supply "diff.<name>.funcname" variable via the
configuration mechanism (e.g. in $HOME/.gitconfig), the value is
used as the regexp set to find the line to use for the hunk
header (the variable is called "funcname" because such a line
typically is the one that has the name of the function in
programming language source text).
If there is no such configuration, built-in default is used, if
any. Currently there are two default patterns: default and java.

This makes"diff -p" hunk headers customizable via gitattributes mechanism.
It is based on Johannes's earlier patch that allowed to define a single
regexp to be used for everything.
The mechanism to arrive at the regexp that is used to define hunk header
is the same as other use of gitattributes. You assign an attribute, funcname
(because "diff -p" typically uses the name of the function the patch is about
as the hunk header), a simple string value. This can be one of the names of
built-in pattern (currently, "java" is defined) or a custom pattern name, to
be looked up from the configuration file.
(in .gitattributes)
*.java funcname=java
*.perl funcname=perl
(in .git/config)
[funcname]
java = ... # ugly and complicated regexp to override the built-in one.
perl = ... # another ugly and complicated regexp to define a new one.
