I could do it the other way but then the changes that is moving the code would be much bigger. Moving it like this, by first renaming it to refs-be-files.c and then moving the backend agnostic parts back is that the backend agnostic parts are mostly helper functions that are independent of eachother. This makes it possible to move just a few functions at a time making the individual changes smaller and easier to manage when there are merge conflicts. A lot of the code that implements the actual files implementation for refs storage implements the ref-cache/ref-dir/packed-refs/loose refs etc. This is all code that is intertwined and is difficult to split up. Thus almost forcing me to move the whole 3000 lines of implementation in one single monolithic patch. I think "first rename, then move the agnostic parts a small section at a time" was the least bad solution. > Puzzled. > > I do not see 02/23 here, but I am assuming that is is just > > git mv refs.c refs-be-files.c > > which may have been a seven-line patch with "format-patch -M" ;-) > >> >> With the ref_cache, packed refs and loose ref handling that are all >> part of the files based implementation the backend specific part >> of the old refs.c file is several times larger than the backend agnostic >> part.
