connect.c: add a way for git-daemon to pass an error back to client
The current behavior of git-daemon is to simply close the connection on any error condition. This leaves the client without any information as to the cause of the failed fetch/push/etc. This patch allows get_remote_heads to accept a line prefixed with "ERR" that it can display to the user in an informative fashion. Once clients can understand this ERR line, git-daemon can be made to properly report "repository not found", "permission denied", or other errors. Example S: ERR No matching repository. C: fatal: remote error: No matching repository. Signed-off-by: Tom Preston-Werner <tom@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
