## Message

```
Show type-changed files in commit diffs (#60422)

# Objective

Zed ignores files marked by Git as type-changed (T), causing commits
containing only these changes to show 0 Changed Files.

For example, commit d7cc949e61351a6028f933abbaea39f67af9dfb2 changes
crates/eval_utils/LICENSE-GPL from a regular file to a symlink, but Zed
displays no changes.

  ## Solution

Handle TypeChanged files like modified files by loading both their old
and new contents.

  ## Testing

  - Added parser coverage for the T status.
  - Added a repository test for a regular-file-to-symlink change.
  - Ran cargo test -p git.
  - Ran ./script/clippy -p git.
  - Manually verified the example commit on macOS.

  ## Self-Review Checklist:
  - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
  - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
- [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards
([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)
and [icon](https://github.com/zed-
  industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines)
  - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
  - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable
