[PATCH v20 13/48] refs.c: make resolve_ref_unsafe set errno to something meaningful on error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Making errno when returning from resolve_ref_unsafe() meaningful,
which should fix

 * a bug in lock_ref_sha1_basic, where it assumes EISDIR
   means it failed due to a directory being in the way
