* @brief Patch handling routines.
* The diff patch is used to store all the text diffs for a delta.
* You can easily loop over the content of patches and get information about
typedef struct git_patch git_patch;
* Return a patch for an entry in the diff list.
* The `git_patch` is a newly created object contains the text diffs
* for the delta. You have to call `git_patch_free()` when you are
* done with it. You can use the patch object to loop over all the hunks
* and lines in the diff of the one delta.
* For an unchanged file or a binary file, no `git_patch` will be
* created, the output will be set to NULL, and the `binary` flag will be
* set true in the `git_diff_delta` structure.
* It is okay to pass NULL for either of the output parameters; if you pass
* NULL for the `git_patch`, then the text diff will not be calculated.
* @param out Output parameter for the delta patch object
* @param diff Diff list object
* @param idx Index into diff list
* @return 0 on success, other value < 0 on error

* Directly generate a patch from the difference between two blobs.
* This is just like `git_diff_blobs()` except it generates a patch object
* for the difference instead of directly making callbacks. You can use the
* standard `git_patch` accessor functions to read the patch data, and
* you must call `git_patch_free()` on the patch when done.
