I assume you mean “…to *not* send anything…”.

Looking at the function you quoted, seems that if the diff returns a  
non-zero result code, another code path will be taken, but presumably  
not exactly what you want.  I don’t personally like it popping up  
dialogs to tell that an action was performed (I have a similar  
“complaint” about your svn bundle fork ;) ).
