Like f0bca72dc77 (send-pack: use buffered I/O to talk to pack-objects,
2016-06-08), significantly reduce the number of system calls and
simplify the code for sending object IDs to rev-list by using stdio's
buffering.

Take care to handle errors immediately to get the correct error code,
and to flush the buffer explicitly before closing the stream in order to
catch any write errors for these last bytes.

Changes since v1:
- Handle fprintf() errors immediately.
- Call ferror() and fflush() explicitly before calling fclose().
- Ignore fclose() errors, similar to the original code.
- Initialize the stream pointer and use a NULL check in the error
  handler to avoid a bogus compiler warning about it being used
  without initialization.

I wonder if setting cmd->in to -1 is still useful...

...as we don't check cmd->in anymore at the end of the function, but
we now check cmd_in instead. So should cmd_in have been set to -1
instead of cmd->in?

The patch doesn't change its usefulness.  It probably was not necessary
to begin with.

The next line right here (not shown in the diff) returns 0.

This error handler is not reached from the place that sets cmd->in back
to -1.  It can be reached from a place where cmd_in is still NULL, so
this check is necessary and setting cmd_in to NULL above is not needed.

Right. We exit immediately after setting it, but it's not clearly a dead
load: the "cmd" struct is passed in from the caller. Prior to 2997178ee6
(upload-pack: split check_unreachable() in two, prep for
get_reachable_list(), 2016-06-12), it was part of a longer function
which did have more error handling.

But after the split, has_unreachable() knows that it is always closed
after do_reachable_revlist() returns, so it never looks at cmd.in again.
It might be worth removing just to avoid confusion.

I thought this also implied that the conditional close() in the error
block was not necessary, but it is. In the existing code we could "goto
error" from start_command() failing, before we ever assign to cmd->in.
The run-command API clears the struct in that case (so we'd see cmd->in
== 0, and avoid closing).

Right, that makes sense. Your NULL cmd_in is replacing the zero'd
cmd->in from start_command().

So I think your patch is correct. It might be worth removing the "-1"
assignment on top.
