Re: git pull fails to exit with non-zero status after fatal error

Hi,

We have just upgraded to 1.5 (don't know if this is specific to 1.5, but just
in case).  When I perform a git-pull on a working repo that has a modified
file, git pull refuses to do the pull, as shown below:

$ git pull
Updating b5d9263..506b347
tools/Pvt/Pvt.py: needs update
fatal: Entry 'tools/Pvt/Pvt.py' not uptodate. Cannot merge.
$ echo $?
0

Notice the exit status of 0.

Does this fix it?
