[PATCH (resend)] gitweb: Fix bug in "blobdiff" view for split (e.g. file to symlink) patches

From: Jakub Narebski <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:43:03
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

git_patchset_body needs patch generated with --full-index option to
detect split patches, meaning two patches which corresponds to single
difftree (raw diff) entry.  An example of such situation is changing
type (mode) of a file, e.g. from plain file to symbolic link.

Add, in git_blobdiff, --full-index option to patch generating git diff
invocation, for the 'html' format output ("blobdiff" view).

"blobdiff_plain" still uses shortened sha1 in the extended git diff
header "index <hash>..<hash>[ <mode>]" line.

This was generated by "diff to current" in the history view of a file,
which was changed between symlink and normal file.
This patch fixes this bug in git_blobdiff (in "blobdiff" view).

Junio, you probably have missed this patch in the noise...
