Bah, no it doesn't, a conflicting merge also returns a nonzero status.
Sigh.
If you meant we should actually conflict, I'm not sure what options
there would be other than actually calling a merge driver. And we could
actually do this like so (it'll obviously break the tests):
diff --git i/git-pull.sh w/git-pull.sh
