I guess I should have searched for "exit" rather than scrolling to the
bottom of the man page. Thank you for the tip! ;-)

So:

if ! git diff HEAD > $T/git-diff 2>&1
then
cp $T/git-diff $resdir/$ds
fi

The reason for dropping into /tmp and then copying if there were
diffs is that I don't want there to be an empty file if no diffs.

Thanx, Paul
