Neither of these functions ever returns a value other than zero.
Instead, they expect unrecoverable errors to exit immediately, and
things like "--exit-code" are stored inside the diff_options struct to
be handled later via diff_result_code().
Some callers do check the return values, but many don't bother. Let's
drop the useless return values, which are misleading callers about how
the functions work. This could be seen as a step in the wrong direction,
as we might want to eventually "lib-ify" these to more cleanly return
errors up the stack, in which case we'd have to add the return values
back in. But there are some benefits to doing this now:
1. In the current code, somebody could accidentally add a "return -1"
to one of the functions, which would be erroneously ignored by many
callers. By removing the return code, the compiler can notice the
mismatch and force the developer to decide what to do.
Obviously the other option here is that we could start consistently
checking the error code in every caller. But it would be dead code,
and we wouldn't get any compile-time help in catching new cases.
2. It communicates the situation to callers, who may want to choose a
different function. These functions are really thin wrappers for
doing git-diff-files and git-diff-index within the process. But
callers who care about recovering from an error here are probably
better off using the underlying library functions, many of
which do return errors.
If somebody eventually wants to teach these functions to propagate
errors, they'll have to switch back to returning a value, effectively
reverting this patch. But at least then they will be starting with a
level playing field: they know that they will need to inspect each
caller to see how it should handle the error.
