The second certainly makes sense.  The first one I'm not so sure,
perhaps it will just cause further confusion if something else is
happening?

I would think we only really expect put_file to fail because the
parent doesn't exist in certain particular situations (like making a
new branch?) and maybe it should be explicitly handled there.

But if you think it's an improvement I don't object.
