I wondered if we needed to remove any code setting found_changes via builtin_diffstat(), but it does not seem to exist in the first place. ;) > diff --git a/t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh b/t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh > index 02731dccb9..230a89b951 100755 > --- a/t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh > +++ b/t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh > @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true > . ./test-lib.sh > .
