In 48308681 (2016-02-29, git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning), the helper communicated errors back only via exit code, and dance with printing '#unmatched' in case of error was left to git-submodule.sh as it uses the output of the helper and pipes it into shell commands. This change makes the helper consistent by never printing '#unmatched' in the helper but always handling these piping issues in the actual shell script. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx> --- I think this applies on any of the recent submodule branches; certainly on master (Git 2.9-rc1).
