On a clean just-cloned repo, git-diff-index has no local index to
compare with, leading to all files being marked as new on some systems.
git-diff on the other hand actually compares the files contents with the
repository tree and then updates said local index.
This problem was found when trying to automate xqemu builds (an xbox
emulator based on qemu) through the use of AppVeyor.
