From 2fe95f494cde6cb3c3e6894bb687961b28b1764b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Fri, 22 Feb 2019 11:26:43 -0800 Subject: 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.
