format-patch: notice failure to open cover letter for writing
The make_cover_letter() function is supposed to open a new file for writing, and let the caller write into it via FILE *rev->diffopt.file but because the function does not return anything, the caller does not bother checking the return value. Make sure it dies, instead of keep going with a NULL output filestream and relying on it to cause a crash, when it fails to open the file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
