http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=automake.git;a=commitdiff;h=20594c08f63
* tests/**: Convert all uses:
This restrictive change converted the vast majority:
git grep -l '^(exit \$fail); exit \$fail$' \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/'^\(exit \$fail\); exit \$fail$/Exit \$fail/'
And this did the rest, plus a few undesirable ones, so I manually
backed out the changes to ChangeLog-* and build-aux/check.mk:
git grep -l -E '\(exit [^)]+\); exit ' \
| xargs perl -pi -e 's/\(exit (.+?)\); exit \1/Exit $1/'
