We still complain about bad headers, but only if there is a line starting with "#" and only if the prefix doesn't match. This addresses Junio's comment that packfiles don't have to have a header, and that they may contain capabilities that we don't understand. > diff --git a/t/t0602-reffiles-fsck.sh b/t/t0602-reffiles-fsck.sh > index 42c8d4ca1e..da321f16c6 100755 > --- a/t/t0602-reffiles-fsck.sh > +++ b/t/t0602-reffiles-fsck.sh > @@ -639,4 +639,29 @@ test_expect_success SYMLINKS 'the filetype of packed-refs should be checked' ' > ) > ' > > +test_expect_success 'packed-refs header should be checked' ' > + test_when_finished "rm -rf repo" && > + git init repo && > + ( > + cd repo && > + test_commit default && > + > + git refs verify 2>err && > + test_must_be_empty err && > + > + for bad_header in "# pack-refs wit: peeled fully-peeled sorted " \ > + "# pack-refs with traits: peeled fully-peeled sorted " \ > + "# pack-refs with a: peeled fully-peeled" Instead of verifying thrice that we complain about bad header prefixes, should we maybe replace two of these with instances where we check a packed-refs file _without_ a header and one with capabilities that we don't understand?
