While at it it might be a good idea to rename its outdated name to something saner, e.g. object_dir, perhaps? In v0.99 days, it make some sense to call that sha1_dir because we prepopulated 256 subdirectories 00-ff in it, and as an afterthought we reused the buffer to create an extra subdirectory "/pack" there. But we do not create the fan-out in advance since 9106c09 (Create object subdirectories on demand (phase II), 2005-10-09); sha1_dir is not a very good name for the buffer to hold the path to ".git/objects" anymore. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
