I think "updated" is better. (The transport calling it "fetched_refs" is fine, because that's what they are from the perspective of the transport. From the perspective of fetch-pack, it is indeed a new or updated set of remote refs.) > - if (fetch_refs(transport, ref_map) || consume_refs(transport, ref_map)) { > + > + if (fetch_refs(transport, ref_map, &new_remote_refs)) { > + free_refs(ref_map); > + retcode = 1; > + goto cleanup; > + } > + if (new_remote_refs) { > + free_refs(ref_map); > + ref_map = get_ref_map(transport->remote, new_remote_refs, rs, > + tags, &autotags); > + free_refs(new_remote_refs); > + } > + if (consume_refs(transport, ref_map)) { > free_refs(ref_map); > retcode = 1; > goto cleanup; Here, if we got updated remote refs, we need to regenerate ref_map, since it is the source of truth. Maybe add a comment in the "if (new_remote_refs)" block explaining this - something like: Regenerate ref_map using the updated remote refs, because the transport would place shallow (and other) information there. > - for (i = 0; i < nr_sought; i++) > + for (r = refs; r; r = r->next, i++) > if (status[i]) > - sought[i]->status = REF_STATUS_REJECT_SHALLOW; > + r->status = REF_STATUS_REJECT_SHALLOW; You use i here without initializing it to 0. t5703 also fails with this patch - probably related to this, but I didn't check. If you initialize i here, I don't think you need to initialize it to 0 at the top of this function.
