There is this old thread:
"[PATCH 1/5] "diff --check" should affect exit status"
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/68145/focus=68148
which seemed not to reach a conclusion.
Conclusion was (1) if you really care about the exit code, do not use
pager; (2) after 1.6.0 we will swap the child/parent between git and pager
to expose exit code from us, but not before.
Or am I mistaken?
Perhaps a more correct statement on my part would have been that I
couldn't find the conclusion. :-)
It ended with Junio C Hamano saying:
Heh, I am about to push out fixed-up results, so it might save both of
us some time if you looked at it first and then complained on my
screwups.
I wasn't subscribed to the list back then and couldn't follow beyond
that thread in GMane.
Regardless of what happened or not back then, the current documentation
does not match the current code. Not for git-diff, and certainly not for
git-log.
Or am I mistaken?
I didn't see a reference in that thread to post 1.6.0 changes or to
child/parent relationships, but if this is known and planned for
post-1.6.0, then cool: I'll get on with my life and let you get on with
yours!
