Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

9:43:55.45 2023-08-04  C:\src\t\scripts>TYPE .\t1.txt
this is t1.txt

9:43:57.92 2023-08-04  C:\src\t\scripts>TYPE .\t2.txt
this is t2.txt

9:43:58.04 2023-08-04  C:\src\t\scripts>"C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe" diff --exit-code --no-index  --ignore-all-space  --shortstat  .\t1.txt .\t2.txt
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

9:43:58.14 2023-08-04  C:\src\t\scripts>ECHO %ERRORLEVEL%
0

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

I expected that the exit code from `git diff` would be 1, or something non-zero because the files are different.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

The exit code was zero (0).

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

Zero (0) is not one (1). :-)
