That's OK, since we won't use any objects in excluded packs, and thus don't need to eagerly grab an descriptor on it to prevent against the race we're handling here. (In practice, we do end up calling is_pack_valid() on excluded packs later on, via - want_found_object() (or one of its many callers), which itself calls - has_object_kept_pack(), which calls - find_kept_pack_entry(), which calls - fill_pack_entry(), which calls - is_pack_valid(), which calls but that's a side-effect that doesn't help or hurt us.) We _do_ need to be able to open the .idx (which happens in `fill_pack_entry() -> find_pack_entry_one() -> open_pack_index()` , but we'll fail appropriately when the index cannot be located. > The rest of this makes sense and (as far as I can tell) lines up with the > implementation below. Thanks for taking a look! Thanks, Taylor
