There is a "failed to write archive" message after write_archive() call returns non-zero, but presumably write_archive() itself gives diagnostics (like "oh, I was told to archive this file but I cannot read it") when it does so, so in a sense, giving the concluding "failed to write" only in that case might make the error messages uneven. If we fail to enlist ".git/hooks" directory, we may want to say why we failed to do so, and then want to see the concluding "failed to write" at the end, just like the case where write_archive() failed. It is a truely minor point, and if it turns out to be worth fixing, it can be easily done by moving the diagnose_clean_up label a bit higher, i.e. ... res = write_archive(...); diagnose_cleanup: if (res) error(_("failed to write archive")); else fprintf(stderr, "\n" "Diagnostics complete.\n" "All of the gathered info is captured in '%s'\n", zip_path->buf); if (archiver_fd >= 0) { ... restore FD#1 and close stdout_fd and archiver_fd } ... Other than that, this new patch looks good to me. Thanks.
