This topic improves the output we emit on ambiguous objects as noted in 4/6, and makes it translatable, see 3/6. See [1] for v5. This iteration addresses various small feedback from Josh Steadmon. I've incorporated a variable rename fixups here, and hopefully answered small questions on the v5 thread with amended commit messages. For the case of "dead" prefixed objects being unused but "beef" being used I just added a test for the "dead" objects. They're not strictly needed, but having them for the "dead...beef" symetry and for use in future tests is probably better, so I kept them in. 1. http://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-v5-0.6-00000000000-20211125T215529Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (6): object-name tests: add tests for ambiguous object blind spots object-name: explicitly handle OBJ_BAD in show_ambiguous_object() object-name: make ambiguous object output translatable object-name: show date for ambiguous tag objects object-name: iterate ambiguous objects before showing header object-name: re-use "struct strbuf" in show_ambiguous_object() object-name.c | 112 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--- t/t1512-rev-parse-disambiguation.sh | 84 +++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 184 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) Range-diff against v5: 1: 767165d096d ! 1: 27f267ad555 object-name tests: add tests for ambiguous object blind spots @@ Commit message prefix are the same for both SHA-1 and SHA-256.
