fix(get): ensure getRunCommand does not clobber ExitError's msg#4
Conversation
Basically, go-getter is masking the actual problem with incorrect handling of program exit codes: 1. They messed up err handling in get.go#L131-L140 [1] 2. They eventually get around to calling syscall.WaitStatus.ExitStatus [2] Which returns -1 if the WaitStatus was something other than exited So we revert to using the stdlib ProcessState.String() representation of this error.
