git-branch-diff: wrapper script for git to visualize backports

This script helps in visualizing backported and missed commits between two
different branches, tags or commit ranges. In the list of missed commits,
it will help you identify patches which are posted for reviews on gerrit server.

While backporting commit to another branch only subject of the patch may
remain unchanged, all others such as commit message,  commit Id, change Id,
bug Id, may be changed. This script works by taking commit subject as the
key value for comparing two git branches, which can be local or remote.

Help:
$ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py --help
    usage: git-branch-diff.py [-h] [-s SOURCE] -t TARGET [-a AUTHOR] [-p PATH]
                              [-o OPTIONS]

    git wrapper to diff local or remote branches/tags/commit-ranges

    optional arguments:
     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
     -s SOURCE, --source SOURCE
                           source pattern, it could be a branch, tag or a commit
                           range
     -t TARGET, --target TARGET
                           target pattern, it could be a branch, tag or a commit
                           range
     -a AUTHOR, --author AUTHOR
                           default: git config name/email, to provide multiple
                           specify comma separated values
     -p PATH, --path PATH  show source and target diff w.r.t given path, to
                           provide multiple specify space in between them
     -o OPTIONS, --options OPTIONS
                           add other git options such as --after=<>, --before=<>
                           etc. experts use;

Sample usages:
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t origin/release-3.8
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -s local_branch -t origin/release-3.7
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -s 4517bf8..e66add8 -t origin/release-3.7
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -s HEAD..c4efd39 -t origin/release-3.7
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t v3.7.11 --author="author@redhat.com"
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t v3.7.11 --author="authorX, authorY, authorZ"
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t origin/release-3.8 --path="xlators/"
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t origin/release-3.8 --path="./xlators ./rpc"
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t origin/release-3.6 --author="*"
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t origin/release-3.6 --author="All"
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t origin/release-3.6 --author="Null"
  $ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t v3.7.11 --options "--after=2015-03-01 \
                                                      --before=2016-01-30"

Example output:
$ ./extras/git-branch-diff.py -t origin/release-3.8 --path="./rpc"

while backporting patches. Also this script doesn't have any intelligence to
detect squashed commits.
