In a review[1] of my "many promisor remotes" patch series[2] and in the following thread, it was suggested that a flag should be passed to tell oid_object_info_extended() that it should not fetch objects from promisor remotes if they are missing, instead of using the ugly fetch_if_missing global. It looks like the OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH flag already exists but unfortunately conflates 2 separate things. This patch series introduces OBJECT_INFO_NO_FETCH_IF_MISSING to disambiguate the different meanings and then uses it instead of OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH where it makes sense. 1: https://public-inbox.org/git/b4d69d2b-dc0d-fffb-2909-c54060fe9cd1@xxxxxxxxx/ 2: https://public-inbox.org/git/20190409161116.30256-1-chriscool@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Christian Couder (2): object-store: introduce OBJECT_INFO_NO_FETCH_IF_MISSING sha1-file: use OBJECT_INFO_NO_FETCH_IF_MISSING object-store.h | 9 +++++++-- sha1-file.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.22.0
