Re: [PATCH v2] difftool: fix dir-diff when file does not exist in working tree

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>

It can't ever happen because we only call this if the mode is non-zero
in which case the SHA-1 is only null if there are unstaged changes.

However, I think this revised version is much clearer.
Yes, that makes the intention crystal clear.  I like it.
