The misbehavior occurs with --exit-code instead of --quiet. And with --submodule=diff. > What did you expect to happen?

Bisects to d7b97b7185 (diff: let external diffs report that changes are uninteresting, 2024-06-09). So enabling diff_from_contents breaks the exit code of submodule diffs? Then the options -b/-w/... and --ignore-matching-lines breaks it as well, as they set this option, too. I guess we have to do something like this, plus add a ton of tests to cover the option combinations: --- diff.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c index 4035a9374d..bc2e559ce9 100644 --- a/diff.c +++ b/diff.c @@ -3565,6 +3565,7 @@ static void builtin_diff(const char *name_a, show_submodule_diff_summary(o, one->path ? one->path : two->path, &one->oid, &two->oid, two->dirty_submodule); + o->found_changes = 1; return; } else if (o->submodule_format == DIFF_SUBMODULE_INLINE_DIFF && (!one->mode || S_ISGITLINK(one->mode)) && @@ -3573,6 +3574,7 @@ static void builtin_diff(const char *name_a, show_submodule_inline_diff(o, one->path ? one->path : two->path, &one->oid, &two->oid, two->dirty_submodule); + o->found_changes = 1; return; } -- 2.46.0
