When a file is staged with `git add --intent-to-add`, it appears in `git diff-index` output as a zero-sized blob, polluting the staged diff with files that have no actual staged content. This caused the `git_diff` tool and the committer persona's diff attachment to include ITA entries alongside genuinely staged changes. Adding `--ita-invisible-in-index` to all `diff-index` invocations suppresses these ITA entries so only real staged hunks are reported. The committer persona's diff attachment command is updated to match. Signed-off-by: Jean Mertz <git@jeanmertz.com>
