I found "git-diff --quiet" returns a zero exit status even if there's
a change. The following sequence reproduces the bug:
$ mkdir foo
$ cd foo
$ git init
$ echo a > a.txt
$ echo b >b.txt
$ git add ?.txt
$ git commit
$ echo b >> b.txt
$ touch a.txt
$ git diff --quiet; echo $?
Interestingly, if you issue "git-diff --quiet" again, it returns the
expected exit status 1.
The problem is in the optimization code in run_diff_files(). The
function finds a.txt has different stat(2) data from .git/index and
calls diff_change(), which sets DIFF_OPT_HAS_CHANGES. As the flag
makes diff_can_quit_early() return 1, run_diff_files()'s loop finishes
without calling diff_change() for b.txt.
Then, diffcore_std() examines diff_queued_diff and clears
DIFF_OPT_HAS_CHANGES, because a.txt is unchanged.
This is how a change in b.txt is ignored by git-diff --quiet.
Here's a obvious fix for this bug, but I think you can find a better
fix. Thanks in advance.
