Matheus TavaresOn write() errors, packet_write() dies with the same error message that is already printed by its callee, packet_write_gently(). This produces an unnecessarily verbose and repetitive output:
error: packet write failed fatal: packet write failed: <strerror() message>
In addition to that, packet_write_gently() does not always fulfill its caller expectation that errno will be properly set before a non-zero return. In particular, that is not the case for a "data exceeds max packet size" error. So, in this case, packet_write() will call die_errno() and print a strerror(errno) message that might be totally unrelated to the actual error.
Fix both those issues by turning packet_write() and packet_write_gently() into wrappers to a lower level function which is now responsible to either error() or die() as requested by its caller.
