Optionally replace the name hash so that only blobs at the same path and nothing else are used as delta-base candidate. On hold. cf. <34346998-deac-4e1f-9d5f-218f664e9e08@xxxxxxxxx> source: <pull.1785.v2.git.1726692381.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx>
This topic has been on hold waiting for greater interest in this approach. It was the first topic carved out of the path-walk API RFC due to how simple the change was, but the 'git pack-objects --path-walk' feature is a higher priority for helping Git clients and is now available for review [1]. Junio: please pull ds/pack-name-hash-tweak out of 'seen'. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1813.git.1728396723.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx Thanks, -Stolee
