It doesn't make sense to continue the operation if the initialization failed,
does it?

I don't know, it might.

Hmm. When? Could "||true" not be used to get this to work as desired anyway?

You might want to ignore initialization failure if, for instance, you're using
trackdown on darcs and are lazy, and set the initialization to be just 'make'. 
Make fails the first time you run it, and succeeds the second (after it's run
configure).  Or at least it used to do that...

You've got a good point, though, that it's easier to ignore errors by adding
||true than to add in a test for failure.

I am setting priority "wishlist" and status "deferred". Please feel free to 
change, in case this is not appropriate.

Best regards

Hi Sam,

Perhaps you could write a failing regression test for this?

Thanks!

Wouldn't it be easier for you to do it? I assume you remember how to
write darcs regression tests, and a test that just uses "exit 1" as
the initialization command should fit the bill nicely ...
