I think that we might as well use a plain old function here instead of a
macro, especially since the macro is just expanding out to what that
function would be if we had written it that way.

For what it's worth, my concern was more that I don't mind dying, but
I'd rather do so in a calling function, and that by the time we're
calling 'write_commit_graph', that we should be using return values
instead of 'die()' or 'error()'.

Works for me.

Ditto. I think that there's benefit in having it in some places but not
all (as Stolee pointed out earlier in the thread), and that trying to
have it everywhere is a fool's errand.
