This does not restore the original state.
I was on a branch before running this script.
After everything is finished, I am on a detached commit
because $current_ref is not a branch.

[bikeshed] I might want to write like this:
ret=0
"$ABIDIFF" --non-reachable-types "${past_header}.bin"
"${base_header}.bin" > "$log" || ret="$?"

if [ "$quiet" = "true" ]; then
exec > /dev/null
fi
run "$base_ref" "$past_ref" "$abi_error_log" "$@"
is more elegant because this is the last line of main()
and exit_handler() does not print anything.
