[PATCH v3] fetch: emphasize failure during submodule fetch

From
Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com>
Date

Message-ID
<20200116222012.162642-1-emilyshaffer@google.com>

In cases when a submodule fetch fails when there are many submodules, the error from the lone failing submodule fetch is buried under activity on the other submodules if more than one fetch fell back on fetch-by-oid. Call out a failure late so the user is aware that something went wrong, and where.

Because fetch_finish() is only called synchronously by run_processes_parallel, mutexing is not required around submodules_with_errors.

Signed-off-by: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com>

Since v2, removed mutexing as run_processes_parallel() creates
subprocesses, not threads, and is in fact synchronous. Also added
translation marker for the error message.
