[PATCH v6 7/7] RFC: Change error handling scheme in read_gitfile_gently

Since there was a lot of discussion on error reporting strategy on
the previous patch I have done a quick prototype of the theme
proposed by Jonathan Nieder.

I believe the conclusion was to NOT go this route but this way people
get to see an example of what it could look like to make the
discussion and decision a bit easier.

I will either drop this patch or split it up and squash it into the
appropriate commits (along with change requests if any) depending on
the outcome of the review discussion.
