Instead, the thread should be allowed to have zero objects and let the other threads have more. This patch would be a proper fix: diff --git a/builtin-pack-objects.c b/builtin-pack-objects.c index ec10238..d3efeff 100644 --- a/builtin-pack-objects.c +++ b/builtin-pack-objects.c @@ -1672,7 +1672,8 @@ static void ll_find_deltas(struct object_entry **list, unsigned list_size, p[i].data_ready = 0; /* try to split chunks on "path" boundaries */ - while (sub_size < list_size && list[sub_size]->hash && + while (sub_size && sub_size < list_size && + list[sub_size]->hash && list[sub_size]->hash == list[sub_size-1]->hash) sub_size++; - 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
