unpack_trees(): allow callers to differentiate worktree errors from merge errors

gitster · gitster · commit 2e2b887d1c2c · 2008-05-29T17:35:21.000-07:00
Instead of uniformly returning -1 on any error, this teaches
unpack_trees() to return -2 when the merge itself is Ok but worktree
refuses to get updated.
