One evidence of the current output being wrong is that, the output
from "git diff" (with ita entries) cannot be applied because it
assumes empty files exist before applying.
Turning on --ita-invisible-in-index [1] [2] would fix this. The result
is "new file" line moving from "git diff --cached" to "git diff".

This reverts commit d95d728aba.
It turns out that many other commands that need to interact with the
result of running diff-files and diff-index, e.g. "git apply", "git
rm", etc., need to be adjusted to the new world order it brings in.
For example, it would break this sequence to correct a whitespace
breakage in the parts you changed:
git add -N file
git diff --cached file | git apply --cached --whitespace=fix
git checkout file
In the old world order, "diff" showed a patch to modify an existing
empty file by adding its full contents, and "apply" updated the
index by modifying the existing empty blob (which is what an
Intent-to-Add entry records in the index) with that patch.
In the new world order, "diff" shows a patch to create a new file
with its full contents, but because "apply" thinks that the i-t-a
entry already exists in the index, it refused to accept a creation.
Adjusting "apply" to this new world order is easy, but we need to
assess the extent of the damage to the rest of the system the new
world order brought in before going forward and adjust them all,
after which we can resurrect the commit being reverted here.

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.
Now in the new world order, a hierarchy in the index that contain
i-t-a paths is written out as a tree object as if these i-t-a
entries do not exist, and comparing the index with such a tree
object that would result from writing out the hierarchy will result
in no difference. Update a test in t2203 that expected the i-t-a
entries to appear as "added to the index" in the comparison to
instead expect no output.
An earlier change eec3e7e4 (cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after
generating trees, 2012-12-16) becomes an unnecessary pessimization
in the new world order---a cache-tree in the index that corresponds
to a hierarchy with i-t-a paths can now be marked as valid and
record the object name of the tree that results from writing a tree
object out of that hierarchy, as it will compare equal to that tree.
Reverting the commit is left for the future, though, as it is purely
a performance issue and no longer affects correctness.

The part of the test that is about symbolic links in the index does not
require that the corresponding file system entry is actually a symbolic
link. Use test_ln_s_add to insert a symbolic link in the index. When
the file system does not support symbolic links, we actually have a
regular file in the worktree, which we can update as if it were a
symbolic link. diff-index picks up the symbolic link property from the
index.

The plumbing "diff" commands look at the working tree files without
refreshing the index themselves for performance reasons (the calling
script is expected to do that upfront just once, before calling one or
more of them). In the early days of git, they showed the "diff --git"
header before they actually ask the xdiff machinery to produce patches,
and ended up showing only these headers if the real contents are the same
and the difference they noticed was only because the stat info cached in
the index did not match that of the working tree. It was too late for the
implementation to take the header that it already emitted back.
But 3e97c7c (No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes, 2009-11-19)
introduced necessary logic to keep the meta-information headers in a
strbuf and delay their output until the xdiff machinery noticed actual
changes. This was primarily in order to generate patches that ignore
whitespaces. When operating under "-w" mode, we wouldn't know if the
header is needed until we actually look at the resulting patch, so it was
a sensible thing to do, but we did not realize that the same reasoning
applies to stat-dirty paths.
Later, 296c6bb (diff: fix "git show -C -C" output when renaming a binary
file, 2010-05-26) generalized this machinery and added must_show_header
toggle. This is turned on when the header must be shown even when there
is no patch to be produced, e.g. only the mode was changed, or the path
was renamed, without changing the contents. However, when it did so, it
still kept the special case for the "-w" mode, which meant that the
plumbing would keep showing these phantom changes.
This corrects this historical inconsistency by allowing the plumbing to
omit paths that are only stat-dirty from its output in the same way as it
handles whitespace only changes under "-w" option.
The change in the behaviour can be seen in the updated test.

The plumbing that looks at the working tree, i.e. "diff-index" and
"diff-files", always emit the "diff --git a/path b/path" header lines
without anything else for paths that are only stat-dirty (i.e. different
only because the cached stat information in the index no longer matches
that of the working tree, but the real contents are the same), when
these commands are run with "-p" option to produce patches.
Illustrate this current behaviour. Also demonstrate that with the "-w"
option, we (correctly) hold off showing a "diff --git" header until actual
differences have been found. This also suppresses the header for merely
stat-dirty files, which is inconsistent.

Match the style to more modern test scripts, namely:
- The first line of each test has prereq, title and opening sq for the
script body. This makes the test shorter while reducing the need for
backslashes.
- Be prepared for the case in which the previous test may have failed.
If a test wants to start from not having "frotz" that the previous test
may have created, write "rm -f frotz", not "rm frotz".
- Prepare the expected output inside your own test.
- The order of comparison to check the result is "diff expected actual",
so that the output will show how the output from the git you just broke
is different from what is expected.
- Write no SP between redirection '>' (or '<' for that matter) and the
filename.

When we're diffing symlinks, we consider the contents to be
the pathname that the symlink points to. When a user sets up
a userdiff driver like "*.pdf diff=pdf", their "diff.pdf.*"
config generally tells us what to do with the content of
pdf files.
With the current code, we will actually process a symlink
like "link.pdf" using a configured pdf driver, meaning we
are using contents which consist of a pathname with
configuration that is expecting contents that consist of an
actual pdf file.
The most noticeable example of this would have been
textconv; however, it was already protected in its own
textconv-specific code path. We can still see the breakage
with something like "diff.*.binary", though. You could
also see it with diff.*.funcname, though it is a bit harder
to trigger accidentally there.
This patch adds a check for S_ISREG lower in the callstack
than the textconv-specific check, which should block use of
any userdiff config for non-regular files. We can drop the
check in the textconv code, which is now redundant.

In many places in test suite we have "sleep"s that do not have to be
there.
- I do not simply see the point of the one in t3500. It may be making
sure that the timestamp order of commits generated during the test is
stable, in which case test_tick is the right ingredient to use without
wasting tester's time.
- The one in t4011 is to make sure that the plumbing diff-index notices
the stat-dirtyness of a removed then identically recreated symlink.
Keeping the old symlink around to make sure that a newly created
symlink gets different ino would be sufficient for that purpose.
- The one in t7600 is to make sure that "git merge" does not get confused
by stat-dirty "file" in the working tree. Again, keeping the old file
around and creating an identical copy to ensure a different ino would
be sufficient for that purpose.
The "racy git" tests in t0010 are inherently about mtime between the index
itself and index entries. The "sleep" in that test must stay as they are.

Many tests depend on that symbolic links work. This introduces a check
that sets the prerequisite tag SYMLINKS if the file system supports
symbolic links. Since so many tests have to check for this prerequisite,
we do the check in test-lib.sh, so that we don't need to repeat the test
in many scripts.
To check for 'ln -s' failures, you can use a FAT partition on Linux:
$ mkdosfs -C git-on-fat 1000000
$ sudo mount -o loop,uid=j6t,gid=users,shortname=winnt git-on-fat /mnt
Clone git to /mnt and
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t0001.1[34] t0010 t1301 t403[34] t4129.[47] t5701.7
t7701.3 t9100 t9101.26 t9119 t9124.[67] t9200.10 t9600.6' \
make test
(These additionally skipped tests depend on POSIX permissions that FAT on
Linux does not provide.)

Many test scripts assumed that they will start in a 'trash' subdirectory
that is a single level down from the t/ directory, and referred to their
test vector files by asking for files like "../t9999/expect". This will
break if we move the 'trash' subdirectory elsewhere.
To solve this, we earlier introduced "$TEST_DIRECTORY" so that they can
refer to t/ directory reliably. This finally makes all the tests use
it to refer to the outside environment.

contradict with what Dscho really wants to do):

This test depended on "sleep 1" to be enough to dirty the index
entry for a symlink. Alex noticed that on his Cygwin installation
"sleep 1" was sometimes not enough, and after further discussion with
Christopher Faylor, it was brought up that on FAT filesystem timestamp
granularity is 2 seconds so sleeping 1 second is not enough.
For now this patch takes an easy workaround of sleeping for 3 seconds.
Very strictly speaking, POSIX requires lstat to fill only S_IFMT part
of st_mode and st_size for symlinks, and depending on timestamp might
be considered a bug, but we depend on that anyway, so it is better to
test that.

This patch converts a stat() to an lstat() call, thereby fixing the case
when the date of a symlink was not the same as the one recorded in the
index. The included test case demonstrates this.
This is for the case that the symlink points to a non-existing file. If
the file exists, worse things than just an error message happen.
