Traditionally, we consistently showed 0{40} when work tree side was different from what it was being compared against. This was primarily because it did not make sense to re-hash potentially large blobs every time diff-files and non-cached diff-index were asked for.
However, we can afford to read from submodule HEAD, as it is much cheaper than hashing blobs.
This makes the output somewhat inconsistent, but it probably is a good move to give easily available information than not giving it.

* This could be enhanced to also hash symlink blobs as they tend to be very short.
HOWEVER.
This changes the semantics established since almost day-one of git (at
least this 0{40} convention can be traced back to show-diff as of Apr
26, 2005), and tests (e.g. t3040) demonstrate that it breaks existing
callers such as git-commit.Which means that I am sending this out only for discussion at this time, not for inclusion in the near term.
