This does not affect correctness; i.e. head_name=$(cat that-file)
will error out if the file is missing, right?

A more troublesome is that nobody seems to check the return value of
this function.  If head-name, onto or orig-head is missing, is that
an error condition that should make the callers of read_basic_state
stop and refuse to proceed?

The way the && cascade is used seems to indicate that, but up to the
point where it sents $verbose. If and only if head-name, onto, orig-head
and quiet can be read in state-dir, verbose in state-dir is checked
and only then $verbose is set.

Martin, this seems to be from your series around early Feburary
2011.  Do you recall why these checks are cascaded this way?
I do not offhand think of a good reason.
