Subject: [PATCH 14/17] Improve error message when packfile mmap fails.

From: "Shawn O. Pearce" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2006 02:34:41 -0500

If we are unable to mmap the a region of the packfile with the mmap()
system call there may be a good reason why, such as a closed file
descriptor or out of address space.  Reporting the system level
error message can help to debug such problems.
