`git_diff_file_content`
is an internal structure that represents the
data on one side of an item to be diffed; it is an augmented
`git_diff_file`
with more flags and the actual file data.
**
it is created from a repository plus a) a git_diff_file, b) a git_blob,
* it is created from a repository plus a) a git_diff_file, b) a git_blob,
or c) raw data and size
**
there are three main operations on git_diff_file_content:
**
*
_initialization_ sets up the data structure and does what it can up to,
but not including loading and looking at the actual data
**
*
_loading_ loads the data, preprocesses it (i.e. applies filters) and
potentially analyzes it (to decide if binary)
**
*
_free_ releases loaded data and frees any allocated memory

The internal structure of a
`git_diff_patch`
stores the actual diff
between a pair of
`git_diff_file_content`
items
**
it may be "unset" if the items are not diffable
**
"empty" if the items are the same
**
otherwise it will consist of a set of hunks each of which covers some
number of lines of context, additions and deletions
**
a patch is created from two git_diff_file_content items
**
a patch is fully instantiated in three phases:
**
*
initial creation and initialization
**
*
loading of data and preliminary data examination
**
*
diffing of data and optional storage of diffs
**
(TBD) if a patch is asked to store the diffs and the size of the diff
is significantly smaller than the raw data of the two sides, then the
patch may be flattened using a pool of string data

`git_diff_output`
is an internal structure that represents an output
target for a
`git_diff_patch`
*
*
It consists of file, hunk, and line callbacks, plus a payload
*
*
There is a standard flattened output that can be used for plain text output
*
*
Typically we use a
`git_xdiff_output`
which drives the callbacks via the
xdiff code taken from core Git.

*
`git_diff_driver`
is an internal structure that encapsulates the logic
for a given type of file
*
*
a driver is looked up based on the name and mode of a file.
*
*
the driver can then be used to:
**
*
determine if a file is binary (by attributes, by git_diff_options
settings, or by examining the content)
**
*
give you a function pointer that is used to evaluate function context
for hunk headers
*
*
At some point, the logic for getting a filtered version of file content
or calculating the OID of a file may be moved into the driver.
