From 5cc3cef997503e7543d927dbe23daca891131168 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: lock_ref_sha1(): do not sometimes error() and sometimes die().

This cleans up the error path in the function so it does not
die() itself sometimes while signalling an error with NULL some
other times which was inconsistent and confusing.
