No, my inflater doesn't handle deltas, yet. But there are a few reasons why I don't think that's the case. 1. The project has only been pushed once to the git repository before my tests. No updates to the git repository project or anything like that. 2. If it were a delta, would the first 1/3 of it be completely normal and readable? There is no pattern that I can see to the remaining 2/3. It looks as if the characters in the 2/3 part were interleaved with the other characters about 10 times. 3. The object type in the header is parsed as 3, or a blob. Aren't the delta object types higher numbers than that? -- View this message in context: http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/Java-Inflater-problem-decompressing-packfile-tp6278154p6279028.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
