Subject: git cat-file -e behavior
Message-ID: <56D41645.4050800@cihar.com>

Hi

the documentation for "git cat-file -e" says:

> Suppress all output; instead exit with zero status if <object> exists
and is a valid object.

However running it on non existing object will complain "fatal: Not a
valid object name".

$ git cat-file -e master:README.rst
$ echo $?
0
$ git cat-file -e master:foo
fatal: Not a valid object name master:foo
$ echo $?
128

Is the output in this case expected?

I'm currently running 2.7.0.
