Reading object content in memory in "add > -C" is nonsense, not so much in "append -C". Yeah. Although you would not want to "append -C" anything but blobs. While the tree syntax concatenates, I believe the entries are supposed to be in sorted order, no? And you would not want to concatenate commits at all. > +static const char *type_name(enum object_type type) > +{ > + switch (type) { > + case OBJ_BLOB: return _("a blob"); > + case OBJ_TAG: return _("a tag"); > + case OBJ_COMMIT: return _("a commit"); > + case OBJ_TREE: return _("a tree"); > + default: > + die("BUG: put a new string for type %d here", type); > + } > +} Don't we have object.c:typename for this? > @@ -204,8 +216,12 @@ static void create_note(const unsigned char *object, struct msg_arg *msg, > strbuf_grow(&(msg->buf), size + 1); > if (msg->buf.len && prev_buf && size) > strbuf_insert(&(msg->buf), 0, "\n", 1); > - if (prev_buf && size) > + if (prev_buf && size) { > + if (type != OBJ_BLOB || msg->type != OBJ_BLOB) > + die(_("cannot append %s to %s"), > + type_name(type), type_name(msg->type)); > strbuf_insert(&(msg->buf), 0, prev_buf, size); > + } I think this is wrong for the reasons above. You would not want to concatenate a tree to a tree. -Peff -- 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
