[PATCH v4 02/16] refs.c: return error instead of dying when locking fails during transaction

From: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com>

Change lock_ref_sha1_basic to return an error instead of dying when we fail to lock a file during a transaction. This function is only called from transaction_commit() and it knows how to handle these failures.
