From d4ec7e38bd3c95f3f3daa7bdc002d462ae782245 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 15:32:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sequencer: lib'ify do_recursive_merge() Instead of dying there, let the caller high up in the callchain notice the error and handle it (by dying, still). The only caller of do_recursive_merge(), do_pick_commit() already checks the return value and passes it on to its callers, so its caller must be already prepared to handle error returns, and with this step, we make it notice an error return from this function. So this is a safe conversion to make do_recursive_merge() callable from new callers that want it not to die, without changing the external behaviour of anything existing.
