# Changes since v1:

1. Add a "test_commit ..." command in test case of t5574, so we can run
   test cases 4-6 individually.

2. Improve commit logs.

    -    Refactor this test case to run it twice. The first time will be run
    -    using non-atomic fetch and the other time will be run using atomic
    -    fetch. We can see that the above assertion fails for atomic get, as
    -    shown below:
    +    But this assertion fails if using atomic fetch. Refactor this test case

    +      3. "fetch porcelain output (atomic)": for atomic fetch.

         will appear at the end of do_fetch(). It was introduced in b3a804663c
         (fetch: make `--atomic` flag cover backfilling of tags, 2022-02-17).
     
    -    Instead of displaying the error message unconditionally, the final error
    -    output should follow the pattern in update-ref.c and files-backend.c as
    -    follows:
    +    In function do_fetch(), a failure message is already shown before the
    +    retcode is set, so we should not call additional error() at the end of
    +    this function.
    +
    +    We can remove the redundant error() function, because we know that
    +    the function ref_transaction_abort() never fails. While we can find a
    +    common pattern for calling ref_transaction_abort() by running command
    +    "git grep -A1 ref_transaction_abort", e.g.:
     
             if (ref_transaction_abort(transaction, &error))
                 error("abort: %s", error.buf);
     
    -    This will fix the test case "fetch porcelain output (atomic)" in t5574.
    +    We can fix this issue follow this pattern, and the test case "fetch
    +    porcelain output (atomic)" in t5574 will also be fixed. If in the future
    +    we decide that we don't need to check the return value of the function
    +    ref_transaction_abort(), this change can be fixed along with it.
