Short options should really not be "wasted" easily. "-s" named after "to
stage" is really problematic, as outlined in this thread.

Er, but the point is that this is _such_ a common operation, that a
short option for it would not be "wasted" at all.

True, but I am afraid "-c" is not it, as it would certainly be confusing
to users who know what "diff" does before they learn "git diff".

Er...?

Here we were talking about using "-s" (inspired by "--staged"), which
I suggested because you earlier objected to "-c"...
