The diff machinery has two ways to detect changes to set the exit code: Just comparing hashes and comparing blob contents. The latter is needed if certain changes have to be ignored, e.g. with --ignore-space-change or --ignore-matching-lines. It's enabled by the diff_options flag diff_from_contents. The slower mode has never considered copies and renames to be changes, which is inconsistent with the quicker one. Fix it. Even if we ignore the file contents (because it's empty or contains only ignored lines), there's still the meta data change of adding or changing a filename, so we need to report it in the exit code. d7b97b7185 (diff: let external diffs report that changes are uninteresting, 2024-06-09) set diff_from_contents if external diff programs are allowed. This is the default e.g. for git diff, and so that change exposed the inconsistency much more widely.
