We check multiple commits in a loop. Because we want to
break out of the loop if any single iteration fails, we use
a subshell/exit like:
(
for i in $stuff
do
do-something $i || exit 1
done
)
However, we are inconsistent in our loop body. Some commands
get their own "|| exit 1", and others try to chain to the
next command with "&&", like:
X &&
Y || exit 1
Z || exit 1
This is a little hard to read and follow, because X and Y
are treated differently for no good reason. But much worse,
the second loop follows a similar pattern and gets it wrong.
"Y" is expected to fail, so we use "&& exit 1", giving us:
X &&
Y && exit 1
Z || exit 1
That gets the test for X wrong (we do not exit unless both X
fails and Y unexpectedly succeeds, but we would want to exit
if _either_ is wrong). We can write this clearly and
correctly by consistently using "&&", followed by a single
"|| exit 1", and negating Y with "!" (as we would in a
normal &&-chain). Like:
X &&
! Y &&
Z || exit 1
