In command 'git log --follow ...'
log_tree_diff call diff_tree_sha1 and then diff_tree_diff_flush, when
'--follow' is given, the former function will call
try_to_follow_renames, which will call diffcore_std to detect rename.
And then, diff_tree_diff_flush call 'diffcore_std' again
unconditional. (and I have try to find a condition to make the call,
but I fail, so I figure out this patch.)

Anyone may call diff_tree_sha1 and then diffcore_std, and
diff_tree_sha1 may call another diffcore_std if '--follow' given. If
this is a BUG, the calling pattern, diff_tree_sha1 -> diffcore_std
should all disappear from our code. And this involved much code
refactor. And I suggest my way that we avoid the duplicate call
actively in diffcore_std.

You mean split this commit into two?
