Hi all,

please review this patch that makes the combined diff parser handle "clean"
renames with regards to both parents. A clean rename is when the file is just
renamed, no lines in the files have changed. The problem is that git does not
output a `diff --combined` line, nor any hunks, for a clean rename. The combined
diff parser has been updated to detect this situation and then return empty hunk
lists.

I also added a bunch of state checks to the combined diff parser to help
diagnose future issues faster.

Testing:
- `make test` passes on Linux x64
- Manual testing with large merge commits

Thanks,
Erik
