Re: [PATCH 0/15] retain blob info for git diff HEAD:foo HEAD:bar

Patches around [PATCH 06-08/15] made some unexpected (at least to
me) turns but the series told a coherent story, building on top of
what has been achieved in the previous steps.

Thanks for a pleasant read.

Yeah, those patches are not technically required for the rest of it. The
"strbuf" conversion for oc->path is just something I've wanted to fix
for a long time. It made sense to me to do it before teaching
handle_dotdot() to look at oc->path (because the interface to do so
changed a bit).
