[PATCH v2] gitweb: shorten index hashes with trailing file modes
From: Travor Liu <hidden>

From: Travor Liu <redacted>
Diff index lines have included a trailing file mode since ec1fcc16af
(Show original and resulting blob object info in diff output,
2005-10-07) when the old and new file modes match:
index <old>..<new> 100644
gitweb recognizes that trailing mode before it tries to shorten and
link the object IDs. This appends the file-type annotation first, but
the object-ID matcher requires the ID range to end the line. As a
result, this common form keeps both full object IDs as plain text.
That is inconsistent with other hash displays and makes commitdiff
output wider than necessary. Recent gitweb changes have fixed mobile
overflow in log, commit, blob and diff views; leaving two full object
IDs in this header preserves an avoidable long line in the diff header.
* gitweb/gitweb.perl: Remove the trailing mode before matching the index
IDs, then append it again after the IDs have been shortened and linked.
This preserves the mode display while letting ordinary and combined
index lines use the existing object-ID formatting paths.
* t/t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output.sh: Add coverage for that
common form by rendering a commitdiff for a regular file modification.
Check that the visible index line contains linked short blob IDs
followed by the mode and file-type annotation, and that the full
unlinked form is not emitted.
