This says it all.  1min 22secs to generate a patch from a locally
modified but uncommitted file.

I only get that when the index is out-of-date WRT the file modification
dates, so cg-diff has to examine every file.

The good news is that the index is being updated as it finds that the
files are in sync, so expect this to be significantly faster the next time
around.

It isn't.  First time it was 1min11, second time _immediately_ after
it was 1min22.  See my reply to Linus.

Oddly, show-diff seemed to be a lot more efficient in previous git
revisions.
