Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Fix difftool problem with intent-to-add files

From: "Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2020 12:48:02 +0000

This problem was reported in 
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2677, but the problem actually
lies with git diff --raw, and it seems that the bug has been with us ever
since--intent-to-add was introduced.

Changes since v1:

 * Rebased onto sk/diff-files-show-i-t-a-as-new.
 * Verified that sk/diff-files-show-i-t-a-as-new does not completely resolve
   the issue (the --raw output still claims the empty blob as the
   post-image, although the difftool symptom "went away").
 * Amended the central patch of this PR to include a fix for the regression
   test that was introduced in sk/diff-files-show-i-t-a-as-new: it expected
   the raw diff to contain the hash of the empty tree object (which is
   incorrect no matter how you turn it: any hash in any raw diff should
   refer to blob objects).
 * Reordered the patches so that the central patch comes first (otherwise,
   the "empty tree" fix would cause a test failure in t2203).

Johannes Schindelin (3):
  diff-files --raw: handle intent-to-add files correctly
  diff-files: fix incorrect usage of an empty tree
  difftool -d: ensure that intent-to-add files are handled correctly

     +    To be able to do that, we just taught the regression test introduced in
