This actually bothers me as well from a UI point of view.  Git-diff is
used both for generating diffs between versions that come from git and
the working tree/index.

I think it would be more logical to show those diffs as part of
git-status and perhaps git-commit, eg.

  git-commit --dry-run <commitoptions>

shows the diff of what would be committed

  git-status --diff

shows diffs of modified files in the working tree.

This makes it more clear what each diff means.
