Interesting.

 - 4682d852 (diff-index.c: "git diff" has no need to read blob from
   the standard input, 2012-06-27) wants to use this rule: all the
   bitfield definitions first, and then whatever macro constants
   next.

 - 25e5e2bf (combine-diff: support format_callback, 2011-08-19),
   wants to use a different rule: a run of (one bitfield definition
   and zero-or-more macro constants to be used in that bitfield).

When they were merged together at d7afe648 (Merge branch
'jc/refactor-diff-stdin', 2012-07-13), these two conflicting
philosophies crashed.

That is the commit to be blamed for this mess ;-)

I am of course fine with the end result this patch gives us.

Thanks.
