# Bug report: Same path printed twice when comparing two directories
outside repo

## Repro steps

ˋˋˋsh
#!/bin/bash
cd $(mktemp -d)
mkdir dir0
mkdir dir1
touch dir1/test
git diff --no-index dir0 dir1
ˋˋˋ

## Expected output

diff --git a/dir0/test b/dir1/test

new file mode 100644

index 0000000..e69de29


## Actual output

diff --git a/dir1/test b/dir1/test

new file mode 100644

index 0000000..e69de29


## Difference between expected and actual output

The first output line shows the path to the compared file in the second
directory twice in the actual output. I expected it to print one path
for each directory.
