Revert commitffe5e0b08e. Restores clean exit when falling through main loop. Previously, watch only exited when there was an error or when interrupted by the user. Commit81f64657baadded another exit condition when the watched command's output changes, causing execution to fall out of the main loop. With this change, watch correctly restores the terminal and returns an exit code indicating success when invoked with the --chgexit/-g options.
COMPATIBILITY
This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
hopefully all future kernels.

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
