When you do "git diff HEAD submodule/", "submodule" from the index is picked out and match_pathspec_depth() in charge of matching it with the pathspec "submodule/". Unlike tree_entry_interesting(), match_pathspec_depth() has no knowledge about entry mode to realize "submodule" is a directory and treat the trailing slash specially. And it does not have too, mostly, because the index only contains files, not directories (not until submodules come) I have no solutions for it (no, stripping '/' at pathspec preprocessing phase seems like a workaround than a solution). So let's mark it. Maybe I or somebody else could revisit it later.
