I'm curious why. The usual way is to run fsck, look at errors and call
with --repair eventually, expecting the repair mode do fix what's
fixable.

Now this would not return the same set of errors in the non-repair mode?

This of course depends on the damage of the filesystem, but I think we
should try to let it continue as far as possible and then stop. This
probably means extra checks of the data structures before use, but this
a good pattern for fsck anyway.
