+Return an extended exit code: Add 32 or 64 to the code if any
+modifications were made on the far or near side, respectively; these
+are not mutually exclusive, so the code may be 96 if changes were both
+pushed and pulled.
 An error may be reported at the same time, so the code may be for example
 65 if some changes were successfully pulled, while others failed.
