[PATCH] diff-lib: drop return value from do_diff_cache()

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:56:15
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Since 204ce97 (Also use unpack_trees() in do_diff_cache() -
2008-01-20), do_diff_cache() always returns zero. It does not make
sense to check its return value any more.

 I don't know the history behind this function. But it feels not right
 to do exit(128) in do_diff_cache (since 203a2fe (Allow callers of
 unpack_trees() to handle failure - 2008-02-07) and limit the caller's
 control here.
