[PATCH v2 4/4] get_oid(): when an object was not found, try harder

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx>

It is quite possible that the loose object cache gets stale when new
objects are written. Or that a new pack was installed. In those cases,
get_oid() would potentially say that it cannot find a given object, even
if it should find it.

Let's blow away the loose object cache as well as the read packs and try
again in that case.

Note: this does *not* affect the code path that was introduced to help
avoid looking for the same non-existing objects (which made some
operations really expensive via NFS): that code path is handled by the
`OBJECT_INFO_QUICK` flag (which does not even apply to `get_oid()`,
which has no equivalent flag, at least at the time this patch was
written).

This incidentally fixes the problem identified earlier where an
interactive rebase wanted to re-read (and validate) the todo list after
an `exec` command modified it.
