No functional change intended, I assume?

I would find this easier to read as
	if (argc == i + 2 &&
	    (!path_inside_repo(prefix, argv[i]) ||
	     !path_inside_repo(prefix, argv[i + 1])))
		nongit = 1;
Or maybe using a different variable than 'nongit':
 #define DIFF_NO_INDEX_EXPLICIT 1
 #define DIFF_NO_INDEX_IMPLICIT 2
	...
	if (argc == i + 2 && ...)
		no_index = DIFF_NO_INDEX_IMPLICIT;

Why the change in return type?

Hope that helps, Jonathan
