OK, I'll change it in the next round.

True. However, I prefer the {} style here. Would that be OK with you?
Plus, this commit is not supposed to change code. I just want to move the
code to a different function.

I agree. I'll add a comment!

OK :)

No, at this point they are passed the negotiation phase. A problem actually
happened.

Well, at this point it is too late because we don't retry.
Plus, I would prefer to not change code here as this commit is supposed
to just move existing code. Changing "abort" would change the protocol
that was released with Git 2.11.

How about this:
The filter signaled a problem. Don't try to filter files with this capability
for the lifetime of the current Git process.
?
