This is true, and should already be handled. Pay attention to when fetch_if_missing is set in builtin/rev-list.c. do_not_die_on_missing_tree should probably be set to 1 whenever fetch_if_missing is set to 0, I think. (I acknowledge that the usage of this global variable is confusing, but I couldn't think of a better way to implement this when I did. Perhaps when the object store refactoring is done, this can be a store-specific setting instead of a global variable.) > So we don't want to die in list-objects.c. If we > fail to fetch, then we will die on line 213 in rev-list.c. Why don't we want to die in list-objects.c? When --missing=error is passed, fetch_if_missing retains its default value of 1, so parse_tree_gently() will attempt to fetch it - and if it fails, I think it's appropriate to die in list-objects.c (and this should be the current behavior). On other values, e.g. --missing=allow-any, there is no autofetch (since fetch_if_missing is 0), so it is correct not to die in list-objects.c. > > As for --missing=allow-promisor, I don't see them being tested anywhere > > :-( so feel free to make a suggestion.

OK, sounds good to me.
