Re: [PATCH v2 03/10] scalar-diagnose: add directory to archiver more gently

> From: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>
>
> If a directory added to the 'scalar diagnose' archiver does not exist, warn
> and return 0 from 'add_directory_to_archiver()' rather than failing with a
> fatal error. This handles a failure edge case where the '.git/logs' has not
> yet been created when running 'scalar diagnose', but extends to any
> situation where a directory may be missing in the '.git' dir.
>
> Now, when a directory is missing a warning is captured in the diagnostic
> logs. This provides a user with more complete information than if 'scalar
> diagnose' simply failed with an error.
