DON'T DO THIS. It loses the exit code of the git invocation.

(And it is contrary to my effort to move all test_cmp away from being used
in a pipeline because I want to use a comparator tool that does not
understand '-' as stdin.)

OK, with bash, one could get that from PIPESTATUS, but that doesn't help if
you're not using bash or desire a different comparator.

Thanks,
