v2:
* emit_line now takes an argument that indicates if we want it
  to emit the line prefix as well. This should allow for a more faithful
  refactoring in the beginning. (Thanks Jonathan!)
* fixed memleaks (Thanks Brandon!)
* "git -c color.moved=true log -p" works now! (Thanks Jeff)
* interdiff below, though it is large.
* less intrusive than v1 (Thanks Jonathan!)
v1:
For details on *why* see the commit message of the last commit.

The first five patches are slight refactorings to get into good shape, the next patches are funneling all output through emit_line_*.

The second last patch introduces an option to buffer up all output before printing, and then the last patch can color up moved lines of code.

Any feedback welcome.

Thanks, Stefan

Stefan Beller (20):
  diff: readability fix
  diff: move line ending check into emit_hunk_header
  diff.c: factor out diff_flush_patch_all_file_pairs
  diff.c: teach emit_line_0 to accept sign parameter
  diff.c: emit_line_0 can handle no color setting
  diff.c: emit_line_0 takes parameter whether to output line prefix
  diff.c: inline emit_line_0 into emit_line
  diff.c: convert fn_out_consume to use emit_line
  diff.c: convert builtin_diff to use emit_line_*
  diff.c: convert emit_rewrite_diff to use emit_line_*
  diff.c: convert emit_rewrite_lines to use emit_line_*
  submodule.c: convert show_submodule_summary to use emit_line_fmt
  diff.c: convert emit_binary_diff_body to use emit_line_*
  diff.c: convert show_stats to use emit_line_*
  diff.c: convert word diffing to use emit_line_*
  diff.c: convert diff_flush to use emit_line_*
  diff.c: convert diff_summary to use emit_line_*
  diff.c: emit_line includes whitespace highlighting
  diff: buffer all output if asked to
  diff.c: color moved lines differently
