git_diff_index_to_workdir

Version:

Create a diff list between the repository index and the workdir directory.

This matches the git diff command. See the note below on git_diff_tree_to_workdir for a discussion of the difference between git diff and git diff HEAD and how to emulate a git diff <treeish> using libgit2.

The index will be used for the "old_file" side of the delta, and the working directory will be used for the "new_file" side of the delta.
