The internal +remote interface uses Bool extensively, and avoided throwing exceptions, +and so it was not uncommon for access to a remote to fail and no reason be +given. There have been a number of bugs about one thing or anther over the +years, which have been fixed on an ad hoc basis without addressing the +underlying problem. Now it's all been changed to throw exceptions, so the +failure reason will always be displayed. Some tens of thousands of lines of +diffs later, it's almost done. + +Today's work was sponsored by Graham Spencer +[on Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/joeyh).
