Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] merge-ll: catch close() errors when writing external tempfiles
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 01:12:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260929051254.GA1100669@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260929051200.GA1100000@coredump.intra.peff.net>

When writing out tempfiles for an external merge driver, we catch the
case that write() fails, but not the follow-up close(). This close()
would usually succeed, but the system could report a delayed write error
(e.g., on a network file system).

Since we're adding a new error message here, we'll also make the
existing one match it: mark it for translation and mention the actual
path. The exact wording here was picked to match some existing
translated messages.

Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

Since v2, this is hopefully written in a more obviously-correct way,
rather than the short-circuit OR.
