trydiff: replace 'binarydiff' variable by 'binary' variable It's not obvious, but every path in the 'if opts.git or losedatafn:' block will have checked whether the file is binary [1]. Let's assign the result of this check to a variable so we can simplify by checking 'binary and opts.git' in only one place instead of every place we currently assign to 'binarydiff'. [1] Except when deleting an empty file, but checking whether an empty string is binary is very cheap anyway.
