+.SH EXIT STATUS
+
+The exit status is 0 if the sub-command was successfully executed, and
+1 in case of error.
+
+An exit status of 2 denotes that quilt did not do anything to complete
+the command.  This happens in particular when asking to push when the
+whole stack is already pushed, or asking to pop when the whole stack
+is already popped.  This behavior is intended to ease the scripting
+around quilt.
