Same question about !transaction (it also applies to later patches but I
won't mention it any more).
The error message changed from
fatal: cannot lock HEAD ref
to
fatal: HEAD: cannot update ref: Cannot lock the ref 'HEAD'.
Does the message from ref_transaction_commit always say what ref
was being updated when it failed? If so, it's tempting to just use
the message as-is:
fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'HEAD'
If the caller should add to the message, it could say something about
the context --- e.g.,
fatal: cannot update HEAD with new commit: cannot lock the ref 'HEAD'
Looking at that,
die("%s", err.buf)
seems simplest since even if "git commit" was being called in a loop,
it's already clear that git was trying to lock HEAD to advance it.
Thanks,
Jonathan
