If you don't, some things will complain, because they end up getting a SHA1 that they cannot look up, becasue *they* didn't create that pretend entry. I didn't know which way I wanted to go with that thing. I was kind of thinking that maybe we would just have the zero-sized OBJ_BLOB and OBJ_TREE objects as special magical things, and have all git programs just do that "pretend" at the beginning. But that kind of thing is probably just a totally unnecessary special case, and instead, that "pretend_sha1_file()" should have just been a write_sha1_file(NULL, 0, "tree", ce->sha1); instead. Anyway, if there are issues with not finding an object called 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904, then that's the empty tree object, and that pretend thing was the cause. (The git repo itself has the empty tree as an object in it, because one of the commits has that - probably as a result of a bug, but there you have it) Linus - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
