... which is defined roughly as

        git diff $(git merge-base master topic) topic

The merge-base is to compute the point you forked your topic from
the mainline.  So if you want to compare your current state in the
index with the fork point, you'd do

        git diff --cached $(git merge-base master topic)

and comparing your working tree state would be

        git diff --cached $(git merge-base master topic)
