No, etckeeper only looks at the exit status. You should be able to reproduce the nonzero exit status by running `etckeeper commit` (passing it some, possibly multiline commit message). It is impossible to see that message unless `etckeeper commit` returns nonzero, and that in turn is impossible unless one of the commands it runs, like `hg commit $HG_COMMIT_OPTIONS -l "$logfile"` returns nonzero. -- see shy jo
