When describe is run with 'dirty' flag, we refresh the index
to make sure it is in sync with the filesystem before
determining if the working tree is dirty.  However, this is
not done for the codepath where the 'broken' flag is used.

This causes `git describe --broken --dirty` to false
positively report the worktree being dirty if a file has
different stat info than what is recorded in the index.
Running `git update-index -q --refresh` to refresh the index
before running diff-index fixes the problem.

Also add tests to deliberately update stat info of a
file before running describe to verify it behaves correctly.

We should also call `strvec_clear(&update_index_cp.args);` to clear up
used memory.

Nit: we could actually `cp` for both the child processes here.

It would be nice to cleanup the repo at the end of the test by adding
`test_when_finished "rm -rf stat-dirty" &&` here

You want to do everything apart from the repo init in a subshell, this
ensures we don't carry over the working directory to the next test.

Can't this be merged with the previous test?

Hi Karthik, thanks for taking the time to review my
patch.

Will do those, thanks!

All the files generated by the tests in this file are
under `trash directory.t6120-describe/` which seems to
be automatically deleted when all tests succeed.  Also,
given that rest of the tests in this file don't perform
any manual cleanup, I am not sure if doing so really
falls under the scope of this patch.

Ah, now I see why other tests wrap all commands except
`git init` in parentheses.  Thanks!

Having those separate looked nicer to me.  I will merge
them together.
