It is not ready yet, but here are a few patches WIP.

Subject: [PATCH 1/?] diff-index.c: do not pretend paths are pathspecs

"git diff --no-index" takes exactly two paths, not pathspecs, and
has its own way queue_diff() to populate the diff_queue.  Do not
call diff_tree_setup_paths(), pretending as it takes pathspecs.
