[PATCH v2 07/20] log_ref_setup(): separate code for create vs non-create

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Feb 25, 2016, 13:16 UTC
Message-ID
<bc674e78b4d3f528d5e0bfe9d8dbff421b180538.1456405699.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1456405698.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

The behavior of this function (especially how it handles errors) is quite different depending on whether we are willing to create the reflog vs. whether we are only trying to open an existing reflog. So separate the code paths.

This also simplifies the next steps.
