This feature was not tested in the test suite, hence we'd remove it for now. It doesn't seem to be often used anyway. A google search for "git diff -q" (match string exactly) only returned http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11021287/git-detect-if-there-are-untracked-files-quickly where "git diff -q" was quoted for its exit code behavior regarding files being found or not.
