Re: [PATCH v8 10/44] refs.c: change ref_transaction_update() to do error checking and return status

 Update ref_transaction_update() do some basic error checking and return

Probably worth passing a 'struct strbuf *err' argument.  Then callers
can do

die(%s, err.buf);

and the error message can say which ref and whether we were trying to
create a ref, or delete one, or whatever.
