You read my design notes about error handling at the top of <487BD0F3.2060508@xxxxxxxxx>, and you noticed there's max_exit_code in cmd_output? With the approach to error handling I described, open/exit errors can cause the method to die, and stderr can be ignored. If you're trying to implement a more sophisticated error handling approach, be warned that you're opening a can of worms. ;) If you're aiming for something like that, it should be kept out of Git::Repo (which has very coherent error handling as-is), and preferably be discussed under a separate subject, since it's way beyond the scope of this patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
