A matter of terminology, I guess. Apologies if I used the wrong word.

I figured that a non-zero return value was not necessarily an error, but could also be an unusual exit. Like when calling "git" for help.

However, printing out "fatal:" and a lowercase note is definitely an error situation.

Cheers, Anders.
