This is my first ever patch submission and I am excited to contribute
even if it is such a little thing! Please let me know of any etiquette
or convention violations, I will do my best to uphold them moving forward.
Thanks

When describe is run with 'dirty' flag, we refresh the index
to make sure it is in sync with the filesystem before
determining if the working tree is dirty. However, this is
not done for the codepath where the 'broken' flag is used.
This causes `git describe --broken --dirty` to false
positively report the worktree being dirty. Refreshing the
index before running diff-index fixes the problem.
