This seems to work pretty well now. There's only one problem: while it's easy to get a diff showing one of these three things, as explained in the git diff man page:

               $ git diff            (1)
               $ git diff --cached   (2)
               $ git diff HEAD       (3)

           1. Changes in the working tree not yet staged for the next commit.
           2. Changes between the index and your last commit; what you would be committing if you run "git commit" witho
           3. Changes in the working tree since your last commit; what you would be committing if you run "git commit -a"

I can't find a way to get all three in a single diff. I tried git diff master..HEAD, but it does not show changes that are only in the working tree, nor does it show changes in the index.

So while this does fulfill the requirements of @arronmabrey, it doesn't show uncommitted TODOs in the working tree, which may be less useful. It's also likely to confuse users, since that's not how the other scanners work.

I could run git diff 3 times with different arguments and concat or dedupe the output, but that doesn't seem like a great idea.

@tarsius Do you know of the best way to do this?
