Make diff and status perform soft index reload · 4bf630b6
This changes `git_index_read` to have two modes - a hard index reload that always resets the index to match the on-disk data (which was the old behavior) and a soft index reload that uses the timestamp / file size information and only replaces the index data if the file on disk has been modified. This then updates the git_status code to do a soft reload unless the new GIT_STATUS_OPT_NO_REFRESH flag is passed in. This also changes the behavior of the git_diff functions that use the index so that when an index is not explicitly passed in (i.e. when the functions call git_repository_index for you), they will also do a soft reload for you. This intentionally breaks the file signature of git_index_read because there has been some confusion about the behavior previously and it seems like all existing uses of the API should probably be examined to select the desired behavior.
