I agree.  Looking through "git log --patch src/main.c", though, I find
v0.5.3~42 (Do not clobber exit status in dotcmd., 2005-03-03), which
appears to have been meant to take care of the following case:

        $ cat printstatus.sh
        echo $?
        $ false
        $ . ./printstatus.sh
        1

I wonder if the following on top might help (imitating evalcmd)?
