Johannes Schindelin 92481d1b26 merge-ort: return early when failing to write a blob
In the previous commit, we fixed a segmentation fault when a tree object
could not be written.

However, before the tree object is written, `merge-ort` wants to write
out a blob object (except in cases where the merge results in a blob
that already exists in the database). And this can fail, too, but we
ignore that write failure so far.

Let's pay close attention and error out early if the blob could not be
written. This reduces the error output of t4301.25 ("merge-ort fails
gracefully in a read-only repository") from:

	error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
	error: error: Unable to add numbers to database
	error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
	error: error: Unable to add greeting to database
	error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
	fatal: failure to merge

to:

	error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
	error: error: Unable to add numbers to database
	fatal: failure to merge

This is _not_ just a cosmetic change: Even though one might assume that
the operation would have failed anyway at the point when the new tree
object is written (and the corresponding tree object _will_ be new if it
contains a blob that is new), but that is not so: As pointed out by
Elijah Newren, when Git has previously been allowed to add loose objects
via `sudo` calls, it is very possible that the blob object cannot be
written (because the corresponding `.git/objects/??/` directory may be
owned by `root`) but the tree object can be written (because the
corresponding objects directory is owned by the current user). This
would result in a corrupt repository because it is missing the blob
object, and with this here patch we prevent that.

Note: This patch adjusts two variable declarations from `unsigned` to
`int` because their purpose is to hold the return value of
`handle_content_merge()`, which is of type `int`. The existing users of
those variables are only interested whether that variable is zero or
non-zero, therefore this type change does not affect the existing code.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
