Let me add one more comment and summarize altogether:
- Jiri wants you to have different error code
- Greg (and I noticed that as well) wants you to add a proper commit message,
and not just some output of some tool w/o context
- I want you to send a new version w/o chaining to the previous thread, so
start new (email) thread every time you send a new version

Waiting for v3 in a separate email thread, thanks!
