Subject: [PATCH] t1410-reflog.sh: avoid suppressing git's exit code in pipelines
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2026 02:20:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260706205036.3453-1-gatlavishweshwarreddy26@gmail.com> (raw)

Piping git commands directly to wc -l suppresses the exit code of
git, hiding potential failures from the test suite. Capture the
output to a temporary file first, then count the lines separately
to preserve the exit code.
