Subject: [PATCH] transport-helper: die on errors reading refs.
Message-ID: <1438387077-10181-1-git-send-email-sbeller@google.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1438387077-10181-1-git-send-email-sbeller%40google.com

```
We check the return value of read_ref in 19 out of 21 cases.
This adds checks to the missing cases.
