refs/files-backend: stop setting errno from lock_ref_oid_basic
refs/files-backend.c::lock_ref_oid_basic() tries to signal how it failed to its callers using errno. It is safe to stop setting errno here, because the callers of this file-scope static function are * files_copy_or_rename_ref() * files_create_symref() * files_reflog_expire() None of them looks at errno after seeing a negative return from lock_ref_oid_basic() to make any decision, and no caller of these three functions looks at errno after they signal a failure by returning a negative value. In particular, * files_copy_or_rename_ref() - here, calls are followed by error() (which performs I/O) or write_ref_to_lockfile() (which calls parse_object() which may perform I/O) * files_create_symref() - here, calls are followed by error() or create_symref_locked() (which performs I/O and does not inspect errno) * files_reflog_expire() - here, calls are followed by error() or refs_reflog_exists() (which calls a function in a vtable that is not documented to use and/or preserve errno) Signed-off-by: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
