[PATCH/RFC][GSoC] make "git diff --no-index $directory $file" DWIM better.

From: Yurii Shevtsov <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:04:09
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Changes 'git diff --no-index $directory $file' behaviour.
Now it is transformed to 'git diff --no-index $directory/&file $file'
instead of throwing an error.

I hope I understood task correct. I think this patch requires writing
additional tests, so that's what I'm going to do now.
