Wow, this bug is around for 2.5 years, and then we both independently notice and fix it within 3 weeks of each other: https://github.com/git/git/commit/e5890667c7598e813edee0ac4e76d6e3cdd525ec
My patch is incomplete as it's missing a testcase, and you submitted first, so let's stick with your fix, though.

The commit message from my patch also included an explanation for why diff-tree was the only caller that was missing the necessary logic (see the last paragraph, which kind of references the one before it as well).

The includes other than this one are in alphabetical order; can you move this a line before?
Also, as an aside, folks in this project often just put includes at the end, but I think it's a bad practice. Whenever someone needs to backport fixes or merge separate patch topics into seen/next/etc. or even merge not-yet-upstream topics with newer upstream versions, this practice increases the odds of unnecessary conflicts. And it makes it harder for the next person who comes along to spot whether a header is already included (and sometimes leaves us including headers twice). While each case is a small amount of toil so we tend to overlook it, it's totally unnecessary toil in many cases. Putting includes in alphabetical order (other than the one include required to be first, git-compat-util.h or its documented stand-ins) can often remove this unnecessary toil. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent. :-)

I'll be happy to add my Reviewed-by if you fix the header include order.
