Martin Schwaighofer c7e527b82b git fetcher: invoke diff instead of diff-index diff-index operates on the view that git has of the working tree, which might be outdated. The higher-level diff command does this automatically. This change also adds handling for submodules. fixes #4140 Alternative fixes would be invoking update-index before diff-index or matching more closely what require_clean_work_tree from git-sh-setup.sh does, but both those options make it more difficult to reason about correctness.		2022-02-19 22:58:23 +01:00
