Hmm. There is some chicken-and-egg problem here (I read the thread, but did not really see a problem, as I assumed that _other_ tests would assure
that "git diff --no-index" works as expected).

But as at least one released version of GNU diff has a pretty serious bug,
I would rather not rely too much on diff.  (BTW this was the reason I
wanted --no-index so badly.)

So yeah, the second "diff" cannot be "git diff".  Maybe "cmp", but not
"git diff".

Well cmp would be fine as well, seeing all we want is a boolean "is this the same or not" answer. (I'm not familiar with the GNU diff bug you speak of, but was it so bad that it couldn't even get *that* answer right?)

Cheers,
Wincent
