Subject: [PATCH] recursive-merge: Don't print a stack trace when read-tree fails.
Message-ID: <20050925144824.GB20527@c165.ib.student.liu.se>

```
If the working tree is dirty read-tree will fail, and we don't want an
ugly stack trace in that case. Also make sure we don't print stack
traces when we use 'die'.
