trydiff: move check for quietness out of diffline()

By moving the condition out of diffline(), the call site becomes
clearer and diffline() no longer closes on any variables.

Note that this changes the value of the header variable from [''] to
[], but there is no difference in how these two are treated by the
following code. The new value seems more natural anyway.

#!/usr/bin/env python

__doc__ = """Same as `echo a >> b`, but ensures a changed mtime of b.
Without this svn will not detect workspace changes."""

import sys, os

text = sys.argv[1]
fname = sys.argv[2]

f = open(fname, "ab")
try:
    before = os.fstat(f.fileno()).st_mtime
    f.write(text)
    f.write("\n")
finally:
    f.close()
inc = 1
now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
while now == before:
    t = now + inc
    inc += 1
    os.utime(fname, (t, t))
    now = os.stat(fname).st_mtime
