Subject: diff --no-index: also imitate the exit status of diff(1)
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.1-rc1~121^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=34a5e1a2d900b5dd9b9c446a3db9fdb3b29e0575;p=git.git

diff --no-index: also imitate the exit status of diff(1)

diff sets the exit status to 0 when no changes were found, to 1
when changes were found, and 2 means error.

We imitate this to be able to use "git diff" in the test scripts.
(Actually, keeping in line with the rest of git, -1 is returned
on error, which corresponds to an exit status 255).

To find out if the diff is not empty, a member called
"found_changes" was introduced in struct diff_options, which is
set in builtin_diff() and fn_out_consume().
