Do not default to --no-index when given two directories.
git-diff -- a/ b/ always defaulted to --no-index, primarily
because the function is_in_index() was implemented quite
incorrectly.
Noticed by Patrick Maaß and Simon Schubert independently,
initial patch was provided by Patrick but I fixed it
differently.
