	When doing a combined diff, we did not respect textconv attributes at all. This generally lead to us printing "Binary files differ" when we could show a combined diff of the converted text. This patch converts file contents according to textconv attributes. The implementation is slightly ugly; because the textconv code is tightly linked with the diff_filespec code, we temporarily create a diff_filespec during conversion. In practice, though, this should not create a performance problem. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-23	combine-diff: handle binary files as binary	Jeff King	1	-0/+113
	The combined diff code path is totally different from the regular diff code path, and didn't handle binary files at all. The results of a combined diff on a binary file could range from annoying (since we spewed binary garbage, possibly upsetting the user's terminal), to wrong (embedded NULs caused us to show incorrect diffs, with lines truncated at the NUL character), to potential security problems (embedded NULs could interfere with "-z" output, possibly defeating policy hooks which parse diff output). Instead, we consider a combined diff to be binary if any of the input blobs is binary. To show a binary combined diff, we indicate "Binary blobs differ"; the "index" meta line will show which parents had which blob.
