    Fix stale git status
    
    Recent commit 84524f7f2be4722f206e77e3d8fc8acb25de7fea replaced the use
    of "git status" with the lower-level "git diff-index".  However, when
    using "git diff-index" we need to explicitly update the index prior
    to running "git diff-index".  Previously, "git status" would
    automatically update the index prior to diffing.
    
    If the index is not explicitly updated, meld reports incorrect
    file status in certain scenarios.  For example, running:
     - sed -i 's/firefox/chrome/' GNUMakefile
     - git diff (update git's index)
     - sed -i 's/chrome/firefox/' GNUMakefile (git's index is now out of date)
     - bin/meld ./
    
    Meld will then show GNUMakefile as being modified even though its contents
    are actually unchanged.
    
    Calling "git update-index --refresh" prior to "git diff-index" resolves
    the previous stale status issue.
