This part got changed from returning 0 since the previous round,
which makes sense, but if we are making this change relative to the
original in be8a90e, just because we mention explicitly that we
imitate that old commit, we must mention how and why we "improved"
on it, in the log message.
In the old original used while converting difftool, if
sane_execvp() that attempts to run the legacy scripted
version returned with non-negative status, the command
silently exited without doing anything with success, but
sane_execvp() should not retun with non-negative status in
the first place, so make sure we die() to notice such an
abnormal case.
or something like that, perhaps (but you should be able to shorten
it further).
Between die() and BUG(), I am not sure which is more appropriate.
It certainly is not _our_ bug if platform execvp() returns success,
so BUG() would not help our developers all that much. But end-users
won't be helped by being told that sane_execvp() returned, so die()
is not all that useful, either. I guess it does not matter that
much bewteen the two, as this is something that is not supposed to
happen anyway ;-)
In any case, this one looks good. Will queue.
Thanks.
