midx: return success/failure in chunk write methods
Historically, the chunk-writing methods in midx.c have returned the amount of data written so the writer method could compare this with the table of contents. This presents with some interesting issues: 1. If a chunk writing method has a bug that miscalculates the written bytes, then we can satisfy the table of contents without actually writing the right amount of data to the hashfile. The commit-graph writing code checks the hashfile struct directly for a more robust verification. 2. There is no way for a chunk writing method to gracefully fail. Returning an int presents an opportunity to fail without a die(). 3. The current pattern doesn't match chunk_write_fn type exactly, so we cannot share code with commit-graph.c For these reasons, convert the midx chunk writer methods to return an 'int'. Since none of them fail at the moment, they all return 0. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
