To be truly useful, the sequencer should never die() but always return an error. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <redacted> --- sequencer.c | 15 ++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
Instead of dying there, you let the caller high up in the callchain to notice the error and handle it (by dying). There are two call sites of read_and_refresh_cache(), one of which is pick_commits(), whose callers you already verified that they are prepared to do the right thing given an "error" return from it when you did 3/15, so the conversion is safe. The other one, sequencer_pick_revisions() is also prepared to relay an error return back to its caller and you made sure its callers are all safe when you did 3/15. Good.
