There is a little bit more complexity involved here than the other
formats. In particular, this is due to the need to determine whether
an addition line or removal line is just that, or a 'change'.
The existing hunk data structure does not contain any way to easily
store information about context surrounding the additions and removals
in a hunk. While this does work fine for normal diffs (where there is
never any surrounding context) this data structure is quite limiting for
other use cases.
Without support for surrounding context it is not possible to:
* Add support for unified or context format to the diff utility to
output surrounding context.
* Be able to implement a patch utility that uses the surrounding
context to reliably locate where to apply a patch when a hunk range
does not apply perfectly.
This patch changes Diff::Hunk such that its data structure more closely
resembles a unified diff. Each line in a hunk is now either a change,
removal, addition or context.
Allowing hunks to have context inside of them exposes that HackStudio
heavily relies on there being no context in the hunks that it uses for
its' git gutter implementation. The fix here is simple - ask git to
produce us a diff that has no context in it!
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
