Unfortunately, cg-commit seems to return wrong exit status, returning
1 on success.  Eg:

$ cg-commit
arch/arm/mach-ixp2000/pci.c
include/asm-arm/arch-ixp2000/platform.h
Enter commit message, terminated by ctrl-D on a separate line:
blah blah blah
Committed as fafb525292acc9c0818b91b1d8e58cf770616542.
$ echo $?
1

It appears that [ "$merging" ] towards the end of cg-commit is the
cause of this odd behaviour.  Force zero exit status, since we
successfully completed.

Nice find, thanks. I added it to few other files too.
