I'll fix the missing 'a' in the log message, but the "res" simplification is probably better done as a separate patch on top. How does this look? Thanks. ---- >8 ------- >8 ------- >8 ------- >8 ------- >8 ------- >8 ---- Subject: [PATCH] bisect: simplify return code from bisect_checkout() The function was designed to return only BISECT_OK (0) or BISECT_FAILED (-1) and no other values, but there were two issues: - The comment misspelled BISECT_FAILED as BISECT_FAILURE, even though the logic it described (i.e. any non-zero return should be reported as a single BISECT_FAILED) was correct. - It took the return value from run_command_v_opt(), and assumed it was either -1 or 1 upon error, which is not the case; it can relay errors from wait_or_whine(), which can report exit status of the child process. Translate any error return from run_command_v_opt() to BISECT_FAILED, and simplify the resulting code by losing the 'res' variable that is no longer needed.
