I had to scratch my head and view long outside the context before
realizing that the caller lock_ref_sha1_basic() already arranges
with its caller that errors from it are passed via the strbuf, and
this change is just turning verify_lock(), a callee from it, follows
that already established pattern.

Looks sensible, but the last sentence was misleading at least to me.

        The caller, lock_ref_sha1_basic(), uses this error reporting
        convention with all the other callees, and reports its error
        this way to its callers.

perhaps?
