[PATCH 2/4] t4011: illustrate "diff-index -p" on stat-dirty paths

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

The plumbing that looks at the working tree, i.e. "diff-index" and
"diff-files", always emit the "diff --git a/path b/path" header lines
without anything else for paths that are only stat-dirty (i.e. different
only because the cached stat information in the index no longer matches
that of the working tree, but the real contents are the same), when
these commands are run with "-p" option to produce patches.

Illustrate this current behaviour.  The new part that uses "-w" option
demonstrates that we do not show any "diff --git" header for blobs whose
true contents are different but compares the same when whitespaces are
ignored, which is inconsistent with the behaviour for stat-dirty paths.
