Message-ID: <ee63ef30910091537i40a8cc68y2513f07c91fb35b@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm away from a computer right now. Junio, if gmail is showing me the
entirety of your workaround, then no, I don't think that will work.
Your code will always exit non-zero, but there are cases where 'exit
0' is called and a '0' exit status is desired. e.g. when test_done is
called.

I'll look more closely at the suggestions when I get back to a computer.
