Subject: [GSoC PATCH 16/16] t2206: avoid suppressing git's exit code

From: Trieu Huynh <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 05:02:55 +0900

Update t2206-add-submodule-ignored.sh to redirect git-cmds output
to a temporary file instead of piping it directly to not hide the
exit code of git commands behind pipes, as a crash in git might
go unnoticed.

Some tests run inside a subdirectory that is itself a git repo and
use 'git add .' on the whole working tree, so the temporary file is
written as '../actual' to keep it outside the inner repo and prevent
it from being accidentally staged.
