Make git-diff-tree indicate when it flushes
There are times when gitk needs to know that the commits it has sent to git-diff-tree --stdin did not match, and it needs to know in a timely fashion even if none of them match. At the moment, git-diff-tree outputs nothing for non-matching commits, so it is impossible for gitk to distinguish between git-diff-tree being slow and git-diff-tree saying no. This makes git-diff-tree flush its output and echo back the input line when it is not a valid-looking object name. Gitk, or other users of git-diff-tree --stdin, can use a blank line or any other "marker line" to indicate that git-diff-tree has processed all the commits on its input up to the echoed back marker line, and any commits that have not been output do not match. [jc: re-done after a couple of back-and-forth discussion on the list.] Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
