Re: [PATCH] implemented strbuf_write_or_die()

As a potential GSoC student and newcomer to the project, Faiz would
not have known that this would be considered unwanted churn when he
chose the task from the GSoC microproject page [1]. Perhaps it would
be a good idea to retire this item from the list?

On the other hand, it did expose Faiz to the iterative code review
process on this project and gave him a taste of what would be expected
of him as a GSoC student, so the microproject achieved that important
goal, and thus wasn't an utter failure.

And the microproject has the fabulous property that we can use it over
and over again to have a newcomer try committing patches: the previously
reported problem that we were running out of microprojects will not
occur when every patch is eventually going to be rejected.

Joking aside, this is a motivational disaster.  It should be retired.
