From: Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@xxxxxxxxx> Hi, in [1] Peff noticed that the delayed filter mechanism causes garbage in the cache entry for a brief moment during a delayed checkout process. The first patch fixes this issue. The second patch ensures that we don't write garbage in that way to the cache entry caused by any other unknown or external reason ever again. Please review carefully in case I overlooked some unintended side effect. Thank you, Lars [1] https://public-inbox.org/git/20171005034632.kzsspk7wsuk23kf2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Base Ref: v2.15.0-rc0 Web-Diff: https://github.com/larsxschneider/git/commit/d6fff1a941 Checkout: git fetch https://github.com/larsxschneider/git filter-process/fix-cache-entry-v1 && git checkout d6fff1a941 Lars Schneider (2): entry.c: update cache entry only for existing files entry.c: check if file exists after checkout entry.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) base-commit: 217f2767cbcb562872437eed4dec62e00846d90c -- 2.14.2
