I have no opinion about this, at all. I tried it both ways back then,
and didn't find one any better than the other, so I just chose the
simpler-shorter one, i.e. no 2>/dev/null redirection in the condition.

Heh, I had to do some head-scratching now as well... That's what I
get for updating the patch, and then waiting almost a month to finish
it up and update the commit message.
