2024-03-25reftable/error: discern locked/outdated errorsPatrick Steinhardt
We currently throw two different errors into a similar-but-different error code: - Errors when trying to lock the reftable stack. - Errors when trying to write to the reftable stack which has been modified concurrently. This results in unclear error handling and user-visible error messages. Create a new `REFTABLE_OUTDATED_ERROR` so that those error conditions can be clearly told apart from each other. Adjust users of the old `REFTABLE_LOCK_ERROR` to use the new error code as required. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2021-12-23reftable: signal overflowHan-Wen Nienhuys
reflog entries have unbounded size. In theory, each log ('g') block in reftable can have an arbitrary size, so the format allows for arbitrarily sized reflog messages. However, in the implementation, we are not scaling the log blocks up with the message, and writing a large message fails. This triggers a failure for reftable in t7006-pager.sh. Until this is fixed more structurally, report an error from within the reftable library for easier debugging.

2021-10-08reftable: add error related functionalityHan-Wen Nienhuys
The reftable/ directory is structured as a library, so it cannot crash on misuse. Instead, it returns an error code. In addition to signaling errors, the error code can be used to signal conditions from lower levels of the library to be handled by higher levels of the library. For example, in a transaction we might legitimately write an empty reftable file, but in that case, we want to shortcut the transaction.
