Subject: [PATCH 09/16] vcs-svn: Allow input errors to be detected early

From: Jonathan Nieder <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2010 21:51:21 -0500

Add a buffer_ferror() function to read the error flag from the input
stream, so callers can do:

	some_error_prone_operation(f, ...);
	if (buffer_ferror(f))
		return error("input error: %s", strerror(errno));

instead of waiting until it is time to close the file.
