Subject: [PATCH 0/2 v2] ls-tree: exit with non-zero status on error

```
While working with a damaged repository, I noticed that git ls-tree was reporting an error 
even though it set a zero exit code. 

This patch uses the return code from read_tree_recursive instead.

| v2: Amended test per Jens Lehmann's suggestion.

Jon Seymour (2):
  Add a test to check that git ls-tree sets non-zero exit code on
    error.
  Ensure git ls-tree exits with a non-zero exit code if
    read_tree_recursive fails.

In the case of a corrupt repository, git ls-tree may report an error but
presently it exits with a code of 0.

This change uses the return code of read_tree_recursive instead.

I'd rather not waste a new test number for something trivial like this.
Don't we already have a script that tests ls-tree?

Makes sense.  Thanks.

Happy to take suggestions about which other test I should modify to
include this one and how that should be renamed (if at all).

The other tests t3100 -> t3102 are all currently quite coherent and focused.

Perhaps a rename &/or merge of existing tests is required?

FYI: t31xx has quite a lot of head room (e.g. there are still 96 names
available in that space)

Nit: Is it really necessary to introduce a new variable "err" for that? Looks
like a "return read_tree_recursive(...)" would suffice here ...

```
