Thanks, and sorry for the slow follow-up.

Neat.

What happens if I run 'git diff --no-index /tmp git.c git.c' from
within a git repository?  With this, I fear I will get

        Not a git repository
        To compare two paths outside a working tree:
        usage: git diff [--no-index] <path> <path>

instead of the expected

        usage: git diff --no-index <path> <path>

Something like

        if (no_index)
                ;
        else if (nongit)
                no_index = DIFF_NO_INDEX_IMPLICIT;
        else if (argc != i + 2)
                ;
        else if (!path_inside_repo(prefix, argv[i]) ||
                 !path_inside_repo(prefix, argv[i + 1]))
                no_index = DIFF_NO_INDEX_IMPLICIT;

should work.  Or:

        if (!no_index) {
                /*
                 * Treat git diff with ...
                 */
                if (nongit || ...)
                        no_index = DIFF_NO_INDEX_IMPLICIT;
        }

Or the '!no_index &&' condition inserted some other way.

Perhaps, to avoid some nesting:

        /* A no-index diff takes exactly two path arguments. */
        if (no_index && argc != i + 2) {
                ...
                usagef(...);
        }

        if (no_index)
                /* Just run the diff and exit. */
                diff_no_index(...);
