diff: fix OOM on AIX when finding similar deltas in empty diff · fad59658
The function `git_diff_find_similar` keeps a function of cache similarity metrics signatures, whose size depends on the number of deltas passed in via the `diff` parameter. In case where the diff is empty and thus doesn't have any deltas at all, we may end up allocating this cache via a call to `git__calloc(0, sizeof(void *))`. At least on AIX, allocating 0 bytes will result in a `NULL` pointer being returned, which causes us to erroneously return an OOM error. Fix this situation by simply returning early in case where we are being passed an empty diff, as we cannot find any similarities in that case anyway. (cherry picked from commit c65568d8)
