MinGW bash does not report negative exit status codes:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102435&aid=1172090&group_id=2435
Due to above when running git-tfs in a script in MinGW there's no way of
knowing whether git-tfs operation was succesfull or failure caused by
a thrown exception.
Negative exit status codes are replaced with positive ones constraining
them to Byte.MaxValue. This is so that the behavior of the program is
consistent and predictable in all running environments (e.g. bash,
cmd.exe, powershell.exe, zsh, sh). While cmd.exe and powershell.exe
support exit status codes higher than 255, UNIX-like running environments
only support values between 0 and 255:
