Subject: [PATCH 21/22] update-ref --stdin: narrow scope of err strbuf

From: Jonathan Nieder <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 14:10:52 -0700

Making the strbuf local in each function that needs to print errors
saves the reader from having to think about action at a distance,
such as

 * errors piling up and being concatenated with no newline between
   them
 * errors unhandled in one function, to be later handled in another
 * concurrency issues, if this code starts using threads some day

No functional change intended.
