Re: [PATCH 0/3] preliminary fixes for reftable support

these two commits to the reftable library prepare for making 2 tests in the
test suite pass in my pending changes for reftable support.

Welcome again to our "we cannot count to three" club.

This series was built against 'master'. It also has a fix for a fd leak (>=
0 vs > 0), which is part of my reftable-coverity fixes topic.

What is going on here?  We have the same fix in two series?  Are
these two series meant to be applied, or is this a beginning of
splitting and resubmitting the other larger series into smaller
chunks?

I am not opposed to having two identical fixes to a high priority
problem, one in a long series that may take longer to graduate and
the other one in a short series that is trivial to verify.  I am not
opposed to retract a longer series and trickle a number of series'
that replace it, either.  I just wanted to know what is happening
here.

Thanks.
