Under the existing logic, we try to load patch contents differently,
depending on whether the patch files stem from the working directory or
not. But actually, the executed code paths are completely equal to each
other -- so we were always the code despite the condition.
Remove the condition altogether and conflate both code paths.
Error messages should be sentence fragments, and therefore:
1. Should not begin with a capital letter,
2. Should not conclude with punctuation, and
3. Should not end a sentence and begin a new one
When creating and printing diffs, deal with binary deltas that have
binary data specially, versus diffs that have a binary file but lack the
actual binary data.
When generating diffs for binary files, we load and decompress
the blobs in order to generate the actual diff, which can be very
costly. While we cannot avoid this for the case when we are
called with the `GIT_DIFF_SHOW_BINARY` flag, we do not have to
load the blobs in the case where this flag is not set, as the
caller is expected to have no interest in the actual content of
binary files.
Fix the issue by only generating a binary diff when the caller is
actually interested in the diff. As libgit2 uses heuristics to
determine that a blob contains binary data by inspecting its size
without loading from the ODB, this saves us quite some time when
diffing in a repository with binary files.
After 1cd65991, we were passing a pointer to an `unsigned long` to
a function that now expected a pointer to a `size_t`. These types
differ on 64-bit Windows, which means that we trash the stack.
Use `size_t`s in the packbuilder to avoid this.
