Subject: [PATCH-v2] Make git status print a helpful death message if the disk is full

From: David Reiss <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 13:27:20 -0700

The old behavior just said that it failed.  Now it includes the error
information, which makes it much easier to debug.

There is a risk that some failure paths could result in misleading error
messages that actually make debugging more difficult.
