Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] sparse checkout: show error messages when worktree shaping fails

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:24:22 +1000

verify_* functions can queue errors up and to be printed later at
label return_failed. In case of errors, do not go to label "done"
directly because all queued messages would be dropped on the floor.
