Subject: [RFC PATCH] t5500-fetch-pack.sh: fix suppression of Git exit code in tests

From: Shreyansh Paliwal <[email-masked]>

Hello,

While implementing the Avoid suppressing Git exit code in test scripts microproject for GSoC,
I tried to modify this test to remove this suppression. However, after making the changes
I ran the make test command to check, and the test #365 in which I made changes is failing.

Could someone please explain why this test might be failing after such a change,
is it something I am missing or is there something that makes this test not amendable directly?

P.S. Kindly ignore the commit message or format, this is only meant to discuss the failing test
before the actual commit.

Best,
Shreyansh
