From 4be49d756894daca0e8a4477d36c6ed1096ccddc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2016 04:57:34 -0500 Subject: checkout,clone: check return value of create_symref It's unlikely that we would fail to create or update a symbolic ref (especially HEAD), but if we do, we should notice and complain. Note that there's no need to give more details in our error message; create_symref will already have done so. While we're here, let's also fix a minor memory leak in clone.
