Probably worth passing a 'struct strbuf *err' argument.  Then callers
can do

                die("%s", err.buf);

and the error message can say which ref and whether we were trying to
create a ref, or delete one, or whatever.

This could say

                die("update %s: %s", refname, err.buf);

to give context about which command it was trying to execute.

And this could say

                die("verify %s: %s", refname, err.buf);

Thanks for this documentation.
