As a workaround, you can run git-status before git-diff. This is
semi-documented in the documentation for git-status:
If any paths have been touched in the working tree (that
is, their modification times have changed) but their
contents and permissions are identical to those in the
index file, the command updates the index file. Running
git-status can thus speed up subsequent operations such as
git-diff if the working tree contains many paths that have
been touched but not modified.
thanks for the tip. the test case is extracted from the *Messages*
buffer of emacs, so i suppose getting the workaround into emacs is
a possibility. but that's going in the wrong direction i fear.
