I did like this: $ git add --foo $ echo $? what I got is 129, should this code being used as program terminated due to a signal? Cause it's 128+1. According to this[1]. [1] http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/exitcodes.html

usage() (in your case) always returns 129, die() 128. See 5d1a5c0 ([PATCH] Better error reporting for "git status")

No it does not mean terminated by signals. -- Duy

In that case, why not just use another code instead of the code that leads misunderstanding? I mean, as far as I know, exit code between 129 and 255 are used to indicate the program terminated by signal. So that usage function can only exit with code between 1 and 127. Am I wrong?

Because that code has been there too long (since 2005) any probably all git commands, including plumbing ones, rely on it. Changing it now may break existing scripts. -- Duy

Ok, that sounds logical.
