[PATCH v3 3/3] diff --submodule=diff: Don't print failure message twice

From
David Turner <dturner@twosigma.com>
Date
Aug 12, 2021, 00:13 UTC
Message-ID
<20210812001332.715876-3-dturner@twosigma.com>
In-Reply-To
<20210812001332.715876-1-dturner@twosigma.com>

When we fail to start a diff command inside a submodule, immediately exit the routine rather than trying to finish the command and printing a second message.
