I don't know.
Why would they lose more face by admitting the tool did the wrong thing, than by admitting they were wrong in saying that it's better to diff against the repository? It appears their loyalty to the tool is more important to them than their beliefs.
Because by admitting the tool did the wrong thing after they said they're a fan of the tool, that's admitting that they screwed up with their tool choice. The harder they promoted it before the problem was revealed to them, the more face can be lost.
