[PATCH] Don't create broken symlinks

From: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>
Date: Sep 20, 2005, 15:59 UTC
Message-ID: <1127231995.8374.6.camel@dv>

cmd-rename.sh creates links for files that are not installed. git-send-email is not installed by default, so git-send-email-script is a broken link.

cmd-rename.sh should only create a link if the link target exists. Also, the patchs add explicit exit codes for failures and ensures exit code 0 if the script is successful.
