Running perlcritic with gentle severity reports six problems.  The
following lists the line numbers on which the problems occur, along
with a description of the problem.  This patch fixes them all, after
carefully considering the consequences.

516: Contrary to common belief, subroutine prototypes do not enable
compile-time checks for proper arguments.  They serve the singular
purpose of defining functions that behave like built-in functions, but
check_file_rev_conflict was never intended to behave like one.  We
have verified that the callers of the subroutines are alright with the
change.

714, 836, 855, 1487: Returning `undef' upon failure from a subroutine
is pretty common. But if the subroutine is called in list context, an
explicit `return undef;' statement will return a one-element list
containing `(undef)'. Now if that list is subsequently put in a
boolean context to test for failure, then it evaluates to true. But
you probably wanted it to be false.  The solution is to just use a
bare `return' statement whenever you want to return failure. In list
context, Perl will then give you an empty list (which is false), and
`undef' in scalar context (which is also false).

1441: The three-argument form of `open' (introduced in Perl 5.6)
prevents subtle bugs that occur when the filename starts with funny
characters like '>' or '<'.  It's also more explicitly clear to define
the input mode of the file.  This policy will not complain if the file
explicitly states that it is compatible with a version of Perl prior
to 5.6 via an include statement (see 'use 5.008' near the top of the
file).

 Junio: In future, please tell me explicitly that you're expecting a
 re-roll with an updated commit message.  It wasn't obvious to me at
 all.
