last-modified: fix bug when some paths remain unhandled
The recently introduced new subcommand git-last-modified(1) runs into an
error in some scenarios. It then would exit with the message:
BUG: paths remaining beyond boundary in last-modified
This seems to happens for example when criss-cross merges are involved.
In that scenario, the function diff_tree_combined() gets called.
The function diff_tree_combined() copies the `struct diff_options` from
the input `struct rev_info` to override some flags. One flag is
`recursive`, which is always set to 1. This has been the case since the
inception of this function in af3feefa1d (diff-tree -c: show a merge
commit a bit more sensibly., 2006-01-24).
This behavior is incompatible with git-last-modified(1), when called
non-recursive (which is the default).
The last-modified machinery uses a hashmap for all the paths it wants to
get the last-modified commit for. Through log_tree_commit() the callback
mark_path() is called. The diff machinery uses diff_tree_combined()
internally, and due to it's recursive behavior the callback receives
entries inside subtrees, but not the subtree entries themselves. So a
directory is never expelled from the hashmap, and the BUG() statement
gets hit.
Because there are many callers calling into diff_tree_combined(), both
directly and indirectly, we cannot simply change it's behavior.
Instead, add a flag `no_recursive_diff_tree_combined` which supresses
the behavior of diff_tree_combined() to override `recursive` and set
this flag in builtin/last-modified.c.
