I think the interface for the callers is much nicer. Not a new problem, but one thing I did notice in the implementation: > +void write_promisor_file(const char *promisor_name, struct ref **sought, int nr_sought) > +{ > + int i; > + FILE *output = xfopen(promisor_name, "w"); > + > + for (i = 0; i < nr_sought; i++) > + fprintf(output, "%s %s\n", oid_to_hex(&sought[i]->old_oid), > + sought[i]->name); > + fclose(output); > +} We check errors on open via xfopen(), which is good. But we would not notice any problems writing via fprintf or fclose. Is it worth doing something like: err = ferror(output); err |= fclose(output); return err ? -1 : 0; ? (As an aside, this ferror/fclose dance is awkward enough and has caused us enough questions in the past that I wonder if it is worth encapsulating into a wrapper). The existing callers behave the same way (checking open, but not the writes), so definitely not a regression. But the helper function may provide an opportunity to make things more robust without adding a lot of duplicated code. -Peff
