"more general" sounds overly broad.  Is this to avoid calling die()
so that the caller can decide what error messages it wants to give,
abort operation or not, etc.?  From a quick scan of the patch, I
have a feeling that "any printing" is not the problem you are
solving (calling die() is).

Could you explain what the "return value" means?  We can see from
the patch that the function signature is being changed by the patch.
What needs human explanation is why and what the values mean,
e.g. "to allow the caller to notice an error, the function returns 0
upon success and non-0 upon failure, and an error message is
appended to the strbuf *err" (don't pay too much attention to "0" or
"non-0" in this example, as I do not know what you chose to assign
the return values to signal what to the callers; this is merely to
illustrate the degree of details I would expect).

Thanks.
