Stash diff view doesn't show when file changed from being symlink

Details

    Description

      When checking a pull request it is not obvious that a symlink has been changed to a normal file.

      lrwxr-xr-x 1 user domain 10 Nov 20 15:01 android-ndk.mk -> android.mk
      -rw-r--r-- 1 user domain 119 Nov 20 15:01 android.mk

      Another developer created a pull request on Windows where android-ndk.mk was accidentally converted to a real file with the contents "./android.mk" (what Windows git does as it doesn't support symlinks)

      When reviewing the pull request it is not obvious that the file has been changed to a normal file.
      The diff UI just mentions "MODIFIED -X", which means the file is no longer executable.

      It should show that the file is no longer a symlink
