skip_stat_unmatch flag is added in fb13227 (git-diff: squelch "empty" diffs - 2007-08-03) to ignore empty diffs caused by stat-only dirtiness. In some diff case, stat is not involved at all. While the code is written in a way that no expensive I/O is done, we still need to move all file pairs from the old queue to the new queue in diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(). Only enable it when worktree is involved: "diff" and "diff <rev>". This should help track down how skip_stat_unmatch is actually used when bugs occur.
