[PATCH GSoC v5 05/10] fetch-object-info: die() on the remaining error path

From: Pablo Sabater <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-07 22:07:22
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Every failure in fetch_object_info() dies except one: a short read while
parsing the attribute lines returns -1. That -1 is then passed through
fetch_object_info_via_pack() and get_remote_info() up to cat-file, only
to die() with a generic message.

Die in fetch_object_info() instead, consistently with the rest of its
error paths, and make fetch_object_info() void.
