That actually diffs between the index and the working tree, but if you
haven't used "git add" to add any changes, the index content is the same
as HEAD.

It's a web project with a CSS file that contains the following CSS rule:

a[href^=tel] {
    color:inherit;
    text-decoration:none;
}

Now, whenever I do "git diff", it will always show the a[href^=tel]
part and mess up the output, even when I didn't change anything near
that line. The problem is easily reproducable in a newly created
repository.

I don't understand what you mean here by "mess up the output". Can you
show us an example (and tell us what you expected to see)?
