When pushing, send-pack uses pack-objects to write the pack data to the
receive-pack process running on the remote end. The scenarios where
pack-objects dies unexpectedly, can be roughly divided based on whether
the reason for the failure is _local_ (i.e. something in pack-objects
caused it to fail of its own accord), or _remote_ (i.e. something in
the remote receive-pack process caused it to fail, leaving the local
pack-objects process with a broken pipe)
If the reason for the failure is local, we expect pack-objects to report
an appropriate error message to the user.
However, if the reason for the failure is remote, pack-objects will merely
abort because of the broken pipe, and the user is left with no clue as to
the reason why the remote receive-pack process died.
In certain cases, though, the receive-pack process on the other end may have
produced an error message immediately before exiting. This error message may
be currently waiting to be read by the local send-pack process.
Therefore, we should try to read from the remote end, even when pack-objects
dies unexepectedly. We accomplish this by _always_ calling receive_status()
after pack_objects(). If the remote end managed to produce a well-formed
status report before exiting, then receive_status() simply presents that to
the user. Even if the data from the remote end cannot be understood by
receive_status(), it will print that data as part of its error message. In
any case, we give the user as much information about the failure as possible.
