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?)

Personally I find it useful to generate the diff output when viewing
with "-v". But if there is a real reason to use cmp over diff in the
script, one can always manually go into the trash directory and run
diff.
