No. The parameter `revision` of the `error()` call is assigned just above
the `if()` block and clearly points into the `info` structure. So you must
not release that `info` before printing the error. The order of statements
is correct.

Yes, here, too, `revision` points at a field inside `info`, so we must not
release it before using it.

I agree with this, as it avoids an unncessary indentation level.

... except we have to use !!apply_stash() here: apply_stash() probably
returns -1 in case of error (at least that would be consistent with our
coding conventions), and the return value from cmd_*() is handed to exit()
as exit status. The `!!` trick turns any non-zero value into a 1, also
consistent with our coding conventions where we set exit code 1 upon error
in the "business logic".
