That said, I don't mind, particularly if it's a step on the way to using a single transaction for everything being dumped.

Is err.buf always set if failure is nonzero? Elsewhere failure is 0 or -1 but this introduces the possibility for it to be temporarily 1. dump_branches could have caused failure to be -1 before dump_tags is called. I think the intent is if (ref_transaction_update(...)) { failure |= error(...); goto out; } } if (ref_transaction_commit(...)) failure |= error(...); out: ref_transaction_free(transaction); ...
