Description Ian Abbott 2010-05-24 12:04:25 UTC 
In hush:

$ cmdout=`false`
$ echo $?
0

The $? variable should have been set to 1 (the exit code of the back-quoted command), not 0.

Note that Busybox's 'ash' does it correctly.
Comment 2 Denys Vlasenko 2010-05-24 12:43:07 UTC 
This is already fixed in git and will be working correctly in 1.17.x
Comment 3 Ian Abbott 2010-05-24 12:45:06 UTC 
Thanks, Denys. I should have checked the git master branch first! Sorry for the noise.
