In --quiet mode, since we produce only an exit code for "something was
changed" and no actual output, we can often get by with just a
tree-level diff. However, certain options require us to actually look at
the file contents (e.g., if we are ignoring whitespace changes). We have
a flag "diff_from_contents" for that, and if it is set we call
diff_flush() on each path.
To avoid producing any output (since we were asked to be --quiet), we
traditionally just redirected the output to /dev/null. That changed in
b55e6d36eb (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options,
2025-08-08), which replaced that with a "dry_run" flag. In theory, with
dry_run set, we should produce no output. But it carries a risk of
regression: if we forget to respect dry_run in any of the output paths,
we'll accidentally produce output.
And indeed, there is at least one such regression in that commit, as it
covered only the case where we actually call into xdiff, and not
creation or deletion diffs, where we manually generate the headers. We
even test this case in t4035, but only with diff-tree, which does not
show the bug by default because it does not require diff_from_contents.
But git-diff does, because it allows external diff programs by default
(so we must dig into each diff filepair to decide if it requires running
an external diff that may declare two distinct blobs to actually be the
same).
We should fix all of those code paths to respect dry_run correctly, but
in the meantime we can protect ourselves more fully by restoring the
redirection to /dev/null. This gives us an extra layer of protection
against regressions dues to other code paths we've missed.
Though the original issue was reported with "git diff" (and due to its
default of --ext-diff), I've used "diff-tree -w" in the new test. It
triggers the same issue, but I think the fact that "-w" implies
diff_from_contents is a bit more obvious, and fits in with the rest of
t4035.

Now that the default value for TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK is `true` there
is no longer a need to have that variable declared in all of our tests.
Drop it.

Mark some tests that match "*diff*" as passing when git is compiled
with SANITIZE=leak. They'll now be listed as running under the
"GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true" test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI
target).

Callers of diff_populate_filespec() can choose to ask only for the
size of the blob without grabbing the blob data, and the function,
after running lstat() when the filespec points at a working tree
file, returns by copying the value in size field of the stat
structure into the size field of the filespec when this is the case.
However, this short-cut cannot be taken if the contents from the
path needs to go through convert_to_git(), whose resulting real blob
data may be different from what is in the working tree file.
As "git diff --quiet" compares the .size fields of filespec
structures to skip content comparison, this bug manifests as a
false "there are differences" for a file that needs eol conversion,
for example.

This makes our output in the event of a failure slightly
nicer, and it means that we do not break the &&-chain.

When QUICK is set (i.e. with --quiet) we try to do as little work as
possible, stopping after seeing the first change. stat-dirty is
considered a "change" but it may turn out not, if no actual content is
changed. The actual content test is performed too late in the process
and the shortcut may be taken prematurely, leading to incorrect return
code.
Assume we do "git diff --quiet". If we have a stat-dirty file "a" and
a really dirty file "b". We break the loop in run_diff_files() and
stop after "a" because we have got a "change". Later in
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() we find out "a" is actually not
changed. But there's nothing else in the diff queue, we incorrectly
declare "no change", ignoring the fact that "b" is changed.
This also happens to "git diff --quiet HEAD" when it hits
diff_can_quit_early() in oneway_diff().
This patch does the content test earlier in order to keep going if "a"
is unchanged. The test result is cached so that when
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() is done in the end, we spend no cycles on
re-testing "a".

changes
When running 'git diff --quiet <file1> <file2>', if file1 or file2
is outside the repository, it will exit(0) even if the files differ.
It should exit(1) when they differ.
This happens because 'diff_no_index' looks at the 'found_changes'
member from 'diff_options' to determine if changes were made. This
is the wrong thing to do, since it is only set if xdiff is actually
run and it finds a change (the diff machinery will optimize out the
xdiff call when it is not necessary) and in that case HAS_CHANGED
flag needs to be taken into account.
Use diff_result_code() that knows all these details for the correct
exit value instead.

In order to selectively skip tests, the environment variable GIT_SKIP_TESTS
can be set like this:
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t1301 t4150.18' make test
That is, its value can contain only the test script numbers, but not the
full script name. Therefore, it is important that the test scripts are
uniquely numbered. This makes it so.
