After release, pkg.sh pushes the changes to VERSION and HASH
upstream. Failures are masked, though, propagate them.
Unclear what motivated masking the error. Tracking that down with git
blame leads to build-package.sh, which was inherited from ytools,
where the change was introduced 2014 with the trust-inspiring
comment:
attempted fix for error during commit of version files in
build-package.sh
