The patch uses a non-zero exit code, which is an error status. But
as that's the case, I'm not sure why it's described in the changelog
as treating it "not as an error."
A matter of terminology, I guess. Apologies if I used the wrong word.
I figured that a non-zero return value was not necessarily an error,
but could also be an unusual exit. Like when calling "git" for help.
However, printing out "fatal:" and a lowercase note is definitely an
error situation.
