Argh, I should have used a proper conditional statement... I always forget bash is not Perl. > I suspect removing "exit $?" would suffice, if that condition is > non-fatal as the message says... Likely you need to skip git-ls-remote (not sure however, but it's an exceptional condition). return $? would be IMHO also fine - the caller is then free to ignore the return code. I'm then resending the patch done the second way - feel free to merge any version. -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
