git-diff --quiet is pretty broken right now. If you do
"strace git diff --quiet file1 file2" you will see that
it never calls open() on either file! And it always
returns a zero exit code whether or not the files are
different.
I'm trying to follow the code to figure out what's going on,
but meanwhile, here's a test case. Perhaps someone more
familiar with the diff code will beat me to a fix.
