diff_tree (which runs a diff between two trees) always returns 0 and
dies on errors. Some day it may change to change it to return -1 on
error but it will be easy to adjust callers then and until then the
return value is just confusing.
This way at least callers are consistent in ignoring the return value
and new readers don't have to wonder if diff_tree returns its diff
result like "diff --exit-code" would.
