Nice. I like this much more than passing a flag to each function to
tell it how to handle errors. :)
ref_transaction_commit didn't have any stray codepaths that return
some other exit code instead of die()-ing with UPDATE_REFS_DIE_ON_ERR,
so this should be safe as far as the exit code is concerned.
The only danger would be that some codepath leaves 'err' alone and
forgets to write a messages, so we die with
"fatal: "
Alas, it looks like this patch can do that.
i. The call to update_ref_write can error out without updating the
error string.
ii. delete_ref_loose can print a message and then fail without updating
the error string so the output looks like
warning: unable to unlink .git/refs/heads/master.lock: Permission denied
fatal:
$
iii. repack_without_refs can similarly return an error
error: Unable to create '/home/jrn/test/.git/packed-refs.lock: Permission denied
error: cannot delete 'refs/heads/master' from packed refs
fatal:
$
iv. commit_lock_file in commit_packed_refs is silent on error.
repack_without_refs probably intends to write a message in that
case but doesn't :(
I wish there were some way to automatically detect missed spots or
make them stand out (like with the current "return error()" idiom a
bare "return -1" stands out).
(i) is fixed by a later patch. It would be better to put that before
this one for bisectability.
I don't see fixes to (ii), (iii), and (iv) in the series yet from a
quick glance.
Thanks,
Jonathan
