Hi,

just noticed that quiet does not return exit code when I set diff-filter. at the current tip (v1.7.5.3-401-gfb674d7):

  git diff --quiet     --diff-filter=A v1.7.5 v1.7.5.1 -- t  #=> 0
  git diff --exit-code --diff-filter=A v1.7.5 v1.7.5.1 -- t  #=> 1
these two line returns different exit code.
is this a bug or a feature?
Thanks,
