Ordinarily, we keep the original helper implemented as a thin wrapper that passes NULL as retun_error_code, which causes it to die() on error for existing callers. But because we only have one caller (and topics in-flight do not add new ones), we do not bother with that.

The reasoning makes sense, at least to me.

We may want to add a comment about the behaviour upon error for the helper function? I see resolve_gitdir_gently() does not do so and the readers have to follow the callflow down to read_gitfile_gently() which does have the comment, so perhaps we are OK without any.

Looks good to me.
