For the deleting refs test failing: The problem comes from guessing the number of fds we're allowed to use. At first I thought it was a fundamental issue with the code being broken, but it turns out we just need a larger offset as we apparently have 9 files open already, before the transaction even starts. I did not expect the number to be that high, which is why I came up with the arbitrary number of 8 (3 for stdin/out/err, maybe packed refs and reflog so I guessed, 8 would do fine). I am not sure if the 9 is a constant or if it scales to some unknown property yet. So to make the series work, all we need is: - int remaining_fds = get_max_fd_limit() - 8; + int remaining_fds = get_max_fd_limit() - 9; I am going to try to understand where the 9 comes from and resend the patches.
