    diff: ignore --ita-[in]visible-in-index when diffing worktree-to-tree · ba4e3561

    This option is supposed to fix the diff of "diff-files" (not reporting
    ita entries as new files) and "diff-index --cached <tree>" (showing ita
    entries as present in the index with empty content) but not
    "diff-index <tree>".
    
    When --ita-invisible-in-index is set on "git diff-index <tree>",
    unpack_trees() will eventually call oneway_diff() on the ita entry
    with the same code flow as "diff-index --cached <tree>". We want to
    ignore the ita entry for "diff-index --cached <tree>" but not
    "diff-index <tree>" since the latter will examine and produce a diff
    based on worktree entry's (real) content, not ita index entry's
    (empty) content.
