[PATCH] Tests: use test_cmp instead of diff where possible

[Miklos Vajna]

Several old tests were written before test_cmp was introduced, convert
these to test_cmp.

I intentionally did not touch t5000 - using test_cmp -r works for me,
since the default is diff -u, but that would break the setup of users
where GIT_TEST_CMP is set to cmp.

You _did_ touch t5000, and converted one of the diff calls.  I agree
that the ones using the option -r should stay, but the rest could be
switched to test_cmp, too.

While you're changing this, you could switch the order of the two files,
for consistency.  If expected comes first, the command shows how the
test result deviates from the correct output.

[PATCH] Tests: use test_cmp instead of diff where possible

[Miklos Vajna]

Several old tests were written before test_cmp was introduced, convert
these to test_cmp.

If were are at it, fix the order of the arguments where necessary to
make expected come first, so the command shows how the test result
deviates from the correct output.

OK, changed all occurrences, where no options were used.

I also fixed the order problems.

Definitely "test_cmp -r" is a bad idea since we don't know what
underlies it. But I wonder how portable "diff -r" is. Wasn't it a point
of contention in the recent cvsimport tests that were added (and Michael
ended up writing a mini recursive differ using some shell commands)?

OTOH, I haven't seen any complaints about it, so perhaps it is fine to
leave it.

What about the current other calls to cmp? I don't know if they should
be changed too. Are they just the subject of another future change or
have a different purpose? I recently used test_cmp in a test full of
cmp calls (t1300-repo-config.sh).

I think that would be the next step, my patch only converts diff calls
to test_cmp.
