Subject: [PATCH 1/2] diff --cached: do not report i-t-a entries as "new"

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2015 21:14:04 +0700

Paths marked by "git add -N" are simply a reminder to the user that
these files should be staged. If the user does not stage any of them,
"git commit" will not record them.

Align the behavior of "diff --cached" and "git commit". The most
prominent result of this patch is "git status" no longer reports i-t-a
paths as "Changes to be committed".
