Urg, sorry. Yes obviously that should use the failure_errno from
refs_read_raw_ref().
I'll submit a fix for this soon. There's some good post-cleanup to be
done here, it seems only one upstream caller of
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() cares about the failure_errno currently (but I
didn't look into your reftable code).
