Re: glimpse command exit status

Hello Marko

I think maybe you mistyped here?  You should get an exit status of 1 if the
query has no matches, and exit status of 0 if matches were found.   (Seems
backwards, I know, but we'll probably keep it that way for historical
consistency.)

I did a quick test and the 0 exit status is being returned correctly for me when
there are matches.
