Hi,

Here's a quick patch to illustrate the bug report. I initially thought Bo Yang's series was at fault, but a quick checkout-make tells me that the problem is much deeper- Am I doing something wrong? How did we not notice this problem for so long?

Subject: [PATCH] log: test to check exit code

Add a test to check the exit code of a simple 'git log' invocation. The test currently fails: the exit code seems to be 141, instead of the expected 0.
