"diff-tree -b --exit-code" without "--patch" exits with 0 status, not because it finds that the two input files are equivalent while ignoring whitespaces, but because the implied "--raw" mode always exits with 0 when whitespace tweaking options like "-b" and "-w" are given, which is a long-standing bug. We are about to fix it so that "--raw" and friends report the differences with the exit status (even though they ignore the whitespace tweaking options when producing their output), which will make this test, which succeeded for a wrong reason, start failing. Remove it.
