Subject: [PATCH] t2203: avoid suppressing git status exit code
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 21:15:44 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317011544.65952-1-jerrywang183@yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260317011544.65952-1-jerrywang183.ref@yahoo.com

When git status is piped into grep, the exit status of the Git
command is hidden by the pipeline. Capture the status output in a
temporary file first, and then filter it as needed, so that any
failure from git status is still noticed by the test suite.
