Subject: [PATCH] Remove read_or_die in favor of better error messages.

From: "Shawn O. Pearce" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2007 01:01:49 -0500

Originally I introduced read_or_die for the purpose of reading
the pack header and trailer, and I was too lazy to print proper
error messages.

Linus Torvalds <[email-masked]>:
> For a read error, at the very least you have to say WHICH FILE
> couldn't be read, because it's usually a matter of some file just
> being too short, not some system-wide problem.

and of course Linus is right. Make it so.
