I had to scratch my head and view long outside the context before realizing that the caller lock_ref_sha1_basic() already arranges with its caller that errors from it are passed via the strbuf, and this change is just turning verify_lock(), a callee from it, follows that already established pattern. Looks sensible, but the last sentence was misleading at least to me. The caller, lock_ref_sha1_basic(), uses this error reporting convention with all the other callees, and reports its error this way to its callers. perhaps? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
