From 89c571da56a1e84fe12308f727fac0e82c1d5be6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Haggerty Date: Mon, 22 May 2017 16:17:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] read_packed_refs(): report unexpected fopen() failures The old code ignored any errors encountered when trying to fopen the "packed-refs" file, treating all such failures as if the file didn't exist. But it could be that there is some other error opening the file (e.g., permissions problems), and we don't want to silently ignore such problems. So report any failures that are not due to ENOENT.
