Run from wingw, the return code is 0.
Run from cmd, the return code is 1.

Why?
Supposedly, when you run Git from cmd.exe, the git.cmd top-level script
(which wraps the git.exe binary) gets executed, and it's currently
affected by this bug [1] (fixed).  When you run Git from Git bash, the
git.exe binary runs directly and hence the bug is not exposed.

Great, thanks for the info!
