[PATCH 0/6] show non-empty lines before functions with diff/grep -W

["René Scharfe" <l.s.r@web.de>]

The option -W/--function-context lets git diff and git grep show the
whole surrounding function as context.  For the sake of simplicity and
performance they don't fully parse the files, but as a heuristic show
all lines from the preceding function line to the next one.

This series refines that heuristic and extends the context to include
any non-empty lines before the preceding function line as well.  They
most likely contain comments related to that function and are thus
relevant for reviewing diffs and search results.

  t4051: add test for comments preceeding function lines
  xdiff: factor out is_func_rec()
  xdiff: show non-empty lines before functions with -W
  t7810: improve check of -W with user-defined function lines
  grep: update boundary variable for pre-context
  grep: show non-empty lines before functions with -W
