In case a filename contains invalid UTF-8 characters, libostree will
pass it to g_variant_builder_add() in create_tree_variant_from_hashes()
anyway, which leads to a critical warning from glib and an invalid
commit. This commit makes ostree print a useful error and exit instead.

We added a `.dir-locals.el` in commit: 9a77017d87
There's no need to have it per-file, with that people might think
to add other editors, which is the wrong direction.

We may revive this later, but commits in their current form aren't
very useful for humans to read, so it doesn't make sense to have a
tool to show a history of useless stuff.
More interesting things are diffs between commits, object statistics,
etc.
I run builds on my laptop, but it also crashes about 1/4 of the time
while suspending. It's definitely undesrirable to get e.g. empty
.dirtree objects because they corrupt builds. Concretely, I was
getting empty contents committed for xorg-util-macros.
Now, we used to write out temporary files using g_file_replace() which
does a fsync() during close, but then switched to a more "manual"
g_file_append_to().
We could switch back to g_file_replace(), but the problem is, we don't
want to call fsync() on temporary files in the case where we already
have the object. Attempting to add an object we already have is a
*very* common case.
This is both the old and new code sequence for the case where an
object is already stored:
open(temp, O_WRONLY)
write() write() write()
close()
lstat(objects/3a/9fe332...) = 0
unlink(temp)
In the *new* code, here's the case where an object *isn't* stored:
open(temp, O_WRONLY)
write() write() write()
close()
lstat(objects/3a/9fe332...) = -1
open(temp, O_RDONLY)
fdatasync()
close()
rename(temp, objects/3a/9fe332)
Compare with the *old* code path for when an object isn't stored:
open(temp, O_WRONLY)
write() write() write()
close()
lstat(objects/3a/9fe332...) = -1
link(temp, objects/3a/9fe332)
unlink(temp)
The problem with this is we really need to fdatasync(). Also doing
just rename() instead of the weird link()/unlink() helps us express to
the filesystem that we want atomic semantics. For example, BTRFS has
special handling for rename().
