You are not in the position to unilaterally declare "it isn't really worth it" or "it's acceptable to expect", though. We know at least one person want the program to signal failure when interactively aborted. We know that all other current users did not complain that the program did not signal failure when they interactively aborted, they may be they did not care enough, or they may be they are happy. You do not know the population and neither do I, but that is not the point. This behaviour change is, even among Git developers, not a bugfix but is a new feature that not everybody would want to be subjected to. It always is the safest to make such a backward incompatible change a strictly opt-in feature.

Replace it. We do not want to do "oops that was lacking, here is an incremental update" for anything that is not in 'next'.

Thanks.
