There are some cases when one line from "raw" git-diff output (raw
format) corresponds to more than one patch in the patchset git-diff
output; we call this situation "split patch". Old code misdetected
subsequent patches (for different files) with the same pre-image and
post-image as fragments of "split patch", leading to mislabeled
from-file/to-file diff header etc.
Old code used pre-image and post-image SHA-1 identifier ('from_id' and
'to_id') to check if current patch corresponds to old raw diff format
line, to find if one difftree raw line coresponds to more than one
patch in the patch format. Now we use post-image filename for that.
This assumes that post-image filename alone can be used to identify
difftree raw line. In the case this changes (which is unlikely
considering current diff engine) we can add 'from_id' and 'to_id'
to detect "patch splitting" together with 'to_file'.
Because old code got pre-image and post-image SHA-1 identifier for the
patch from the "index" line in extended diff header, diff header had
to be buffered. New code takes post-image filename from "git diff"
header, which is first line of a patch; this allows to simplify
git_patchset_body code. A side effect of resigning diff header
buffering is that there is always "diff extended_header" div, even
if extended diff header is empty.
Alternate solution would be to check when git splits patches, and do
not check if parsed info from current patch corresponds to current or
next raw diff format output line. Git splits patches only for 'T'
(typechange) status filepair, and there always two patches
corresponding to one raw diff line. It was not used because it would
tie gitweb code to minute details of git diff output.
While at it, use newly introduced parsed_difftree_line wrapper
subroutine in git_difftree_body.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
