That won't work. Ah, OK. What I had in mind was things like removing the directory "clone" attempted to create and populate, removing temporary files, etc. when a function that is not marked as NORETURN calls die(), by the atexit handler. But you're right. We leave a final clean-up for normal returns (i.e. when cmd_foo() intends to return or exit with 0) to be done to the caller that is git.::run_builtin(). Thanks.
