Some test in t6423 supress Git's exit code, which can cause test failures go unnoticed. Specifically using git <subcommand> | <other-command> masks potential failures of the Git command.

Instead of executing a Git command as the upstream component of a pipe, which can result in the exit status being lost, redirect its output to a file and then process that file in two steps to ensure the exit status is properly preserved.
