When diff-index and diff-files compare a tree entry or an index
entry with a file in the working tree, they do not compute the
blob hash value for the file in the working tree. 0{40} is used
on the RHS in such a case. When the working tree file matches
the corresponding index entry, then we know RHS matches what is
in the index, so both sides have the blob hash value.
