From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@xxxxxxxxxx>
refs/files-backend.c::lock_ref_oid_basic() tries to signal how it failed
to its callers using errno.
It is safe to stop setting errno here, because the callers of this
file-scope static function are
* files_copy_or_rename_ref()
* files_create_symref()
* files_reflog_expire()
None of them looks at errno after seeing a negative return from
lock_ref_oid_basic() to make any decision, and no caller of these three
functions looks at errno after they signal a failure by returning a
negative value. In particular,
* files_copy_or_rename_ref() - here, calls are followed by error()
(which performs I/O) or write_ref_to_lockfile() (which calls
parse_object() which may perform I/O)
* files_create_symref() - here, calls are followed by error() or
create_symref_locked() (which performs I/O and does not inspect
errno)
* files_reflog_expire() - here, calls are followed by error() or
refs_reflog_exists() (which calls a function in a vtable that is not
documented to use and/or preserve errno)
