[PATCH] show-diff -z option for machine readable output.

[PATCH] show-diff -z option for machine readable output.

[Junio C Hamano]

This patch adds the -z option to the show-diff command,
primarily for use by scripts.  The information emitted is
similar to that of -q option, but in a more machine readable
form.  Records are terminated with NUL instead of LF, so that
the scripts can deal with pathnames with embedded newlines.

To be applied on top of my previous patch:

    [PATCH] Optionally tell show-diff to show only named files.
