Subject: bug#19343: 25.0.50; [vc-git] Unregistered file becomes `up-to-date' in vc-dir buffer after editing and saving

1. Open vc-dir for the repository with an unregistered file.

2. Open the file in Emacs, modify, save.

3. See it become `up-to-date' in the vc-dir buffer.

4. Switch to vc-dir, press `g'. See it become `unregistered' again.

Apparently, in part it's a result of how bug#11757 was resolved (see the
comment at the top of `vc-git-state'), but I don't remember seeing this
problem before Emacs 25. Yet I don't see anything specific among the
recent changes that caused it.

Maybe `vc-git-state' should call `git status --short' instead of `git
diff-index'.
