Subject: [PATCH v2] diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diff

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 20:56:46 +0700

Entries added by "git add -N" are reminder for the user so that they
don't forget to add them before committing. These entries appear in
the index even though they are not real. Their presence in the index
leads to a confusing "git status" like this:

    On branch master
    Changes to be committed:
            new file:   foo

    Changes not staged for commit:
            modified:   foo

If you do a "git commit", "foo" will not be included even though
"status" reports it as "to be committed". This patch changes the
output to become

    On branch master
    Changes not staged for commit:
            new file:   foo

    no changes added to commit

The two hunks in diff-lib.c adjust "diff-index" and "diff-files" so
that i-t-a entries appear as new files in diff-files and nothing in
diff-index.

Due to this change, diff-files may start to report "new files" for the
first time. "add -u" needs to be told about this or it will die in
denial, screaming "new files can't exist! Reality is wrong." Luckily,
it's the only one among run_diff_files() callers that needs fixing.

The test "cache-tree invalidates i-t-a paths" is marked failure
because I don't think removing "--cached" from "git diff" is the right
fix. This test relies on "diff --cached" behavior but the behavior now
has changed. We may need to revisit this test at some point in future.
