I wonder why we had these "|| exit" in the first place, but these
are obviously good changes.

I wonder where the unstable expectation for the exit status comes
from. 4bddd983 ("split-index: don't write cache tree with null oid
entries", 2018-01-07) is not exactly illuminating, either X-<.

As you said in downthread, we only care about the correct output in
the "current" file, which is verified by using it as input to the
"apply --binary", so might-fail is fine here. But we probably want
to make sure "diff --binary --no-index" to *notice* that there is a
difference and report that with its exit status. I wouldn't say so
if this was about testing "git apply", but the test title tells us
that it is about "diff --no-index", so...
