This `pos` comes from that line (unfortunately not part of the diff context): pos = sha1_pos(hash, rerere_dir, rerere_dir_nr, rerere_dir_hash); The `sha1_pos()` function was patched, as per Junio's suggestion, to... return index_pos_to_insert_pos(lo); > > > > > /* Make sure the array is big enough ... */ > > ALLOC_GROW(rerere_dir, rerere_dir_nr + 1, rerere_dir_alloc); > > diff --git a/sha1-name.c b/sha1-name.c > > index 49855ad24f..bee7ce39ee 100644 > > --- a/sha1-name.c > > +++ b/sha1-name.c > > @@ -98,7 +98,7 @@ static void find_short_object_filename(struct disambiguate_state *ds) > > loose_objects = odb_loose_cache(odb, &ds->bin_pfx); > > pos = oid_array_lookup(loose_objects, &ds->bin_pfx); > > if (pos < 0) > > - pos = -1 - pos; > > + pos = insert_pos_to_index_pos(pos); > > ... and this one. This `pos` comes from that `oid_array_lookup()` function that _is_ part of the diff context. What you don't see is the definition of that function: int oid_array_lookup(struct oid_array *array, const struct object_id *oid) { if (!array->sorted) oid_array_sort(array); return sha1_pos(oid->hash, array->oid, array->nr, sha1_access); } There you go. `sha1_pos()` again. So yes, both of these instances were changed to call that helper on purpose.
