Probably. Hmmm. Probably. But I tend to think that this particular failure scenario is probably rare enough that plugging this in "the right way" is not a high priority. We should definitely revisit it post 1.5.0. Also if we are adding a bitfield, I think pack_local should also become one, as it currently wastes a whole word to hold one bit (on the other hand if we do not want to add a field I think a different negative value in pack_fd could mean "do not bother to look at it again"). - 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
