Maybe that is more correct thing to report, but this does change the behaviour, no? ... goes and looks ... Ahh, the assignment to $status before running check_unchanged was not doing anything useful, because check_unchanged stomped on $status before it returned anyway. So the net effect of this hunk to the caller's is unchanged. It is a bit tricky but the end result looks correct. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
