2006-07-02Add Error.pm to the distributionLibravatar Petr Baudis1-0/+821
I have been thinking about how to do the error reporting the best way and after scraping various overcomplicated concepts, I have decided that by far the most elegant way is to throw Error exceptions; the closest sane alternative is to catch the dies in Git.pm by enclosing the calls in eval{}s and that's really _quite_ ugly. The only "small" trouble is that Error.pm turns out sadly not to be part of the standard distribution, and installation from CPAN is a bother, especially if you can't install it system-wide. But since it is very small, I've decided to just bundle it. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
