Re: [PATCH v2 3/3] send-pack: assign remote errors to each ref

  2. the status parsing is not foolproof. We get a line like

         ng refs/heads/master arbitrary msg

     which cannot be parsed unambiguously...

Is it really "arbitrary msg", or just a fixed set of strings?

This was a wrong thing to say.  We may add new error message in
later versions of receive-pack and we want to make it compatible
with today's send-pack with minimum hassle.  So that is a
problem.  But...

Also I think we can rely on the order report-status extension
reports the per-ref result.  It gives back the information the
same order send-pack side supplies the head information, no?

I was hoping that this can solve both of the problems you
cited...
