If I remember correctly the idea behind "intent to add" was to show
only that file was added (e.g. the "new file" line from extended diff
header) in "git diff" when file was added and not modified
(and no changes to "git diff HEAD").

Although I'm not sure if this wouldn't screw some use cases which
include something like "git diff > some-temporary-file"...
