of course it should have been 'if test $?' and as $? is erroneously
equal to 0 in this case, this snippet doesn't matter
'git clone' is calling 'cit-clone' which is a shell script, that does
exit 1 in the function die:
--8<---
die() {
echo >&2 "$@"
exit 1
}
-->8---
but somehow that exit code gets lost
