Here it is in patch form. Perhaps I am missing some subtle case that
diff-index would not handle, but it does pass the test suite. And
looking over the original thread, I don't see any particular reason to
prefer git-diff.
+cc Charles just in case he remembers anything.

Subject: [PATCH] stash: prefer plumbing over git-diff
When creating a stash, we need to look at the diff between
the working tree and HEAD, and do so using the git-diff
porcelain. Because git-diff enables porcelain config like
renames by default, this causes at least one problem. The
--name-only format will not mention the source side of a
rename, meaning we will fail to stash a deletion that is
part of a rename.
We could fix that case by passing --no-renames, but this is
a symptom of a larger problem. We should be using the
diff-index plumbing here, which does not have renames
enabled by default, and also does not respect any
potentially confusing config options.
