Hello!,

I sent an email last week, but I'm not sure if I sent it incorrectly, or the
formatting was very bad, or it went unnoticed. A few days ago a great soul was
kind enough to create the --trust-exit-code option that made git respect the
exit code of the difftool. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make it work.
Exiting vimdiff with :cq doesn't seem to make git quit, as it keeps pushing new
files to be diffed. I tried meld and the exact same thing. I'm confident that
exiting with :cq gives an error, as I have checked it, and I'm using git
2.2.0.rc1.

Am I missing something important? Has anyone managed to make it work with
vimdiff and meld? Sorry for bringing that up so late and for being a
disturbance.

Thank you,

Adria

David, I think this is about your 2b52123f (difftool: add support
for --trust-exit-code, 2014-10-26).  If you have time can you help
Adria?

Thanks.

Yup, I'll take a look when I have a chance.
My first guess would be that the vim scriptlet is not passing
down the status, but I'll have to take a closer look.

FWIW, I thought I had actually tested using vim,
but I'll re-test and verify.

Nah, I was just very busy and it slipped through the cracks.
Sorry 'bout that ~ I was meaning to get back to it.

Thanks for testing, Adria.

If you could test my new patch we would very much appreciate it;
adding a Tested-by: attribution line to the commit with your
name would be very nice.

cheers,
