We have been silently tolerating errors by returning early with an error that the caller ignores since rerere.autoupdate was introduced in v1.6.0-rc0~120^2 (2008-06-22). So on error (for example if the index is already locked), rerere can return success silently without updating the index or with only some items in the index updated.
Better to treat such failures as a fatal error so the operator can figure out what is wrong and fix it.
