The code calls fetch_pack() to get the list of refs it fetched, and discards refs and always returns 0 to signal success. But builtin-fetch-pack.c::fetch_pack() has error cases. The function returns NULL if error is detected (shallow-support side seems to choose to die but I suspect that is easily fixable to error out as well). Shouldn't fetch_refs_via_pack() propagate that error to the caller? --- transport.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/transport.c b/transport.c index 50db980..048df1f 100644 --- a/transport.c +++ b/transport.c @@ -655,7 +655,7 @@ static int fetch_refs_via_pack(struct transport *transport, free(heads); free_refs(refs); free(dest); - return 0; + return (refs ? 0 : -1); } static int git_transport_push(struct transport *transport, int refspec_nr, const char **refspec, int flags) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
