I was preparing a new "sparse" algorithm for calculating the interesting objects to send on push. The important steps happen during 'git pack-objects', so I was creating test cases to see how the behavior changes in narrow cases. Specifically, when copying a directory across sibling directories (see test case), the new logic would accidentally send that object as an extra. However, I found a bug in the existing logic. The included test demonstrates this during the final 'git index-pack' call. It fails with the message 'fatal: pack has 1 unresolved delta'
I realize now that I've gone through this effort that the problem is me (of course it is).
+ git pack-objects --stdout --thin --revs <packinput.txt >nonsparse.pack &&
Since I'm packing thin packs, the index operation is complaining about deltas. So, I need to use a different mechanism to list the objects in the pack (say, 'git verify-pack -v').
Sorry for the noise! Thanks, -Stolee
