[PATCH 2/2] Use strbuf for struct xdiff_emit_state's remainder

[PATCH 2/2] Use strbuf for struct xdiff_emit_state's remainder

[Brian Downing]

Continually xreallocing and freeing the remainder member of struct
xdiff_emit_state was a noticeable performance hit.  Use a strbuf
instead.

This yields a decent performance improvement on "git blame" on certain
repositories.  For example, before this commit:

$ time git blame -M -C -C -p --incremental server.c >/dev/null
101.52user 0.17system 1:41.73elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+39561minor)pagefaults 0swaps

With this commit:

$ time git blame -M -C -C -p --incremental server.c >/dev/null
80.38user 0.30system 1:20.81elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+50979minor)pagefaults 0swaps
