But my search skills are apparently atrophying. :) It looks like we just addressed the git-gc issue there. for-each-ref uses the "rawref" interface, so it gets fed broken things and warns about them. I'm tempted to say that it should just silently ignore broken symrefs, as they're kind-of a normal thing. But I also think Sebastian's patch to squelch stderr during completion is quite reasonable, too. > This is funny: after reading the commit message at > https://github.com/git/git/commit/0571979b it eludes me why strip=2 should > be so much faster than short... :short is slow because it checks for ambiguity. So it has to walk the dwim_ref() rules backwards, checking if each possibility is an existing ref. Whereas strip=2 is literally just skipping past the early bits of the refname string. -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
