Even worse. I do not think such a non-blob object in the notes tree does not participate in the reachability at all, so you won't be able to fetch "refs/notes/whatever" and expect to get a useful result. I do not think storing the raw bits of commit object as a blob in the notes tree is useful behaviour, either. The command probably should refuse to get anything non-blob via that option. Perhaps the notes entry should just note the object name of whatever commit it wants to refer to in a *blob*? -- 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
