Subject: [PATCH b4 v2 41/44] review-tui: catch the exit a failed checkout reports itself with
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 23:59:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-41-243fd19d322d@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731-work-b4-editor-branch-guard-v2-0-243fd19d322d@kernel.org>

create_review_branch() exits rather than raises, and SystemExit is
not an Exception, so a failed checkout unwound past the handler and
took the session down. This is the path every series enters review
through. Catch the exit and report "see above"; the reason is already
on the screen we are suspended into.

The conflict handler also created the branch a second time from
inside the except block, out of reach of the handler beside it. Move
the resolve around the am alone; the create is then written once and
covered.
