I am fine with rejecting it with a warning, but we should not then complain that the other side did not send us the object, since we should not be asking for it at all. I also do not see us complaining about the funny ref anywhere. So there is definitely _a_ bug here. :) I think somebody else mentioned recently that we do not handle malformed refs consistently. I think it was: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/239381 which might or might not be related. -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
