Since the first goto you add precedes the call to
setup_unpack_trees_porcelain(), the next commit will introduce a case
where some code calls clear_unpack_trees_porcelain() without having
first called setup_unpack_trees_porcelain(). With the current code
that is fine since you do initialize unpack_trees_opts to { 0 } first,
and clear_unpack_trees_porcelain() doesn't rely on any special setup,
but I wonder if the naming similarity of the two functions might lead
to future authors to presume they are always called in pairs.
I wonder if we should rename clear_unpack_trees_porcelain() to e.g.
unpack_trees_clear() just to avoid this problem, and then include the
other bits of your previous round to just make all callers of
unpack_trees() call unpack_trees_clear() when they are done.
Or, maybe we could just make unpack_trees() call unpack_trees_clear()
automatically and remove that responsibility from callers...except
that merge-recursive is weird and special and would need a new
function (unpack_trees_without_automatic_cleanup() or something like
that?) since it's the one caller that needs to use
unpack_trees_options data after calling unpack_trees().
So, multiple competing ideas here, and all for theoretical future code
safety. As such, if any of it sounds like too much of a pain, I'm
fine with punting on it.

They aren't currently rolling back the lockfile right now, but I think
they should. Those error cases are pretty unlikely to happen (hard
disk full?), but if they did, they'd leave the lock file in place.
Granted, that's a pre-existing problem rather than a problem
introduced by your patch, so it doesn't need to be part of this
series, but the commit message should at least be tweaked.

True.
