Subject: [PATCH v21 10/19] refs.c: verify_lock should set errno to something meaningful
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2014 13:58:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1405371541-32121-11-git-send-email-sahlberg@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1405371541-32121-1-git-send-email-sahlberg@google.com>

Making errno when returning from verify_lock() meaningful, which
should almost but not completely fix

 * a bug in "git fetch"'s s_update_ref, which trusts the result of an
   errno == ENOTDIR check to detect D/F conflicts

ENOTDIR makes sense as a sign that a file was in the way of a
directory we wanted to create.  Should "git fetch" also look for
ENOTEMPTY or EEXIST to catch cases where a directory was in the way
of a file to be created?
