How about I update CodingGuidelines according to the rules you
suggested? Then other people know how we prefer bash functions and if
statements to look like.

I only described it in the commit message, sorry. Next time I will add a
comment.

See above. If you agree I would add this style to the guidelines.

I like it, your approach combines the atomicity of my first patch with
the efficiency of not calling ls-files twice. I was hesitant to change
to much code just to get the exit code right, but your approach looks
good to me.

Should I send an updated patch? Or do you just want to squash this in.
Since now only the tests are from me what should we do with the
ownership?
