[PATCH 14/25] t9814: simplify convoluted check that command correctly errors out

From
Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
Date
Jul 2, 2018, 00:23 UTC
Message-ID
<20180702002405.3042-15-sunshine@sunshineco.com>
In-Reply-To
<20180702002405.3042-1-sunshine@sunshineco.com>

This test uses a convoluted method to verify that "p4 help" errors out when asked for help about an unknown command. In doing so, it intentionally breaks the &&-chain. Simplify by employing the typical "! command" idiom and a normal &&-chain instead.
