Instead of dying there, you let the caller high up in the callchain
to notice the error and handle it (by dying). There are two call
sites of read_and_refresh_cache(), one of which is pick_commits(),
whose callers you already verified that they are prepared to do the
right thing given an "error" return from it when you did 3/15, so
the conversion is safe. The other one, sequencer_pick_revisions()
is also prepared to relay an error return back to its caller and you
made sure its callers are all safe when you did 3/15.
Good.
