Bug Fixes

  • keep erased errors visible to source-iteration and downcasting
    Since 499402c941, erasing an Exn wraps its error in the Untyped marker so that
    the typed accessors of Exn keep working. However, the marker also hid
    the original error from everything that walks the error afterwards: frames now
    yielded the marker, which cannot be downcast to the original type, and whose
    empty Error implementation cut off the source chain below it.

    This broke gix diff file, whose fallback for treating a revspec as a path on
    disk downcasts the sources() of a failed rev-parse to find the ref-not-found
    error - it would now fail with "couldn't parse revision" instead.
