[PATCH 05/15] refs/reftable: print errors on compaction failure

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Mar 18, 2024, 10:52 UTC
Message-ID
<f336db817c76339647424f316fa3d106bb90416d.1710706118.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1710706118.git.ps@pks.im>

When git-pack-refs(1) fails in the reftable backend we end up printing no error message at all, leaving the caller puzzled as to why compaction has failed. Fix this.
