Previously the hunk_byfinalline_search_cmp function was called with different
data types (size_t and uint32_t) for the key argument but expected only the
former resulting in an invalid memory access when passed the latter on a 64 bit
machine.

The following patch makes sure that the function is called and works with the
same type (size_t).

Update clar to a0b00f0

MSVC doesn't like declaring variables in the middle of a block, so make
sure we only declare variables at the beginning of a block.

Revert pull request #1997

Fix GIT_MERGE_OPTS_INIT on MSVC.

Function-based options initializers

examples/diff:Add the shortstat flag to examples/diff.c

The basic structure of each function is courtesy of arrbee.

Add ODB API to check for existence by prefix and object id shortener

refdb: catch a directory disappearing

ODB writing fails gracefully when unsupported

If a directory disappears between the time we look up the entries of its
parent and the time when we go to look at it, we should ignore the error
and move forward.

This fixes #2046.

If no ODB backends support writing, we should fail gracefully.

examples/diff: Add minimal, patience diff options.

Fixed missing error check on call to git_remote_download

Fixed missing error check on call to git_remote_download in git_remote_fetch. Moved error check to statement following git_remote_disconnect so that the disconnect happens regardless of the result of the download call.

- Add minimal, patience diff options to diff example. libgit2
  `diff_xdiff.git_xdiff_init` already supports these flags, so
  no additional change is necessary.
- Remove minimal and patience flag addition from project list.

This finds a short id string that will unambiguously select the
given object, starting with the core.abbrev length (usually 7)
and growing until it is no longer ambiguous.

pack-objects: free memory safely

A few fixes have accumulated in this area which have made the freeing of
data a bit muddy. Make sure to free the data only when needed and once.

When we are going to write a delta to the packfile, we need to free the
data, otherwise leave it. The current version of the code mixes up the
checks for po->data and po->delta_data.

Remove ignored files from the working directory if they were stashed

Added a test, that fails for #2133

BUGFIX - Fetching twice from the same remote causes a segfault

Fix the description for `GIT_FEATURE_SSH`.

caps: Rename to features to avoid confusion
