Whenever we delete pack-files from the object directory, we need to also delete the multi-pack-index that may refer to those objects. Sometimes, this connection is obvious, like during a repack. Other times, this is less obvious, like when gc calls a repack command and then does other actions on the objects, like write a commit-graph file. The pattern we use to avoid out-of-date in-memory packed_git structs is to call close_all_packs(). This should also call close_midx(). Since we already pass an object store to close_all_packs(), this is a nicely scoped operation. This fixes a test failure when running t6500-gc.sh with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1.

I think this is the correct fix, and more likely to be permanent across all builtins that run auto-GC. I based it on ds/test-multi-pack-index so it could easily be added on top. -Stolee packfile.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/packfile.c b/packfile.c index 841b36182f..37fcd8f136 100644 --- a/packfile.c +++ b/packfile.c @@ -339,6 +339,11 @@ void close_all_packs(struct raw_object_store *o) BUG("want to close pack marked 'do-not-close'"); else close_pack(p); + + if (o->multi_pack_index) { + close_midx(o->multi_pack_index); + o->multi_pack_index = NULL; + } } /* base-commit: 0465a50506023df0932fe0534fe6ac6712c0d854 -- 2.17.1
