Hi all,

As discussed in the previous thread "ape/_errno: ENOENT", APE has
difficulties classifying the error messages from sshfs, because sshfs
passes through the error messages from the server.  This patch fixes
that for the currently known errors by using sshfs's own error strings
as far as possible.

Thanks, benny

The following attachment had content that we can't
prove to be harmless.  To avoid possible automatic

The original header was:

Subject: [PATCH] cmd/sshfs.c (recvproc): prefer error codes over error strings


Strings for existing codes in the most used server (OpenSSH) just
repeat the error code name.  OTOH we like to have wording of the
strings under our control as much as possible, so we can easier find
and process them.  Error strings are still usefull as fallback for
compatibility with future versions of the server.
