Dear Junio, Junio C Hamano (gitster@xxxxxxxxx) 2019-04-24: > if cs/topic branch does not exist, of if the branch > does not contain 'master', the command will show "here are the > branches that match the criteria you gave me" by giving no lines in > its standard output, and exits with 0 to signal that what you see on > the screen indeed was computed correctly (as opposed to the command > internally crashing and failing to produce a result, in which case > you would want to be told with non-zero exit status). Thank you for taking the time to elaborate on your already detailed answer. I can see the concern about separating internal command errors from correctly computed results, even if those results seem to indicate something being amiss. Is this not a place where different error codes can be useful? Sincerely yours, Christoffer
