Hrm.
What does a non-zero exit code from these "compare two trees" diff
tools (e.g. "diff -r a/ b/") mean? Isn't "there are difference
between the two trees" the usual meaning? And we treat that as a
failure and make the user clean up after us?
The patch is not making things any worse with respect to that point,
so I'd queue it as-is, but it smells like a fishy design decision to
me.
