From 77583e7739c76f623f49681c9ee4d10a313fe786 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 00:38:39 -0400 Subject: index-pack: distinguish missing objects from type errors When we fetch a pack that does not contain an object we expected to receive, we get an error like: $ git init --bare tmp.git && cd tmp.git $ git fetch ../parent.git [...] error: Could not read 964953ec7bcc0245cb1d0db4095455edd21a2f2e fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit b8247b40caf6704fe52736cdece6d6aae87471aa error: ../parent.git did not send all necessary objects This comes from the check_everything_connected rev-list. If we try cloning the same repo (rather than a fetch), we end up using index-pack's --check-self-contained-and-connected option instead, which produces output like: $ git clone --no-local --bare parent.git tmp.git [...] fatal: object of unexpected type fatal: index-pack failed Not only is the sha1 missing, but it's a misleading message. There's no type problem, but rather a missing object problem; we don't notice the difference because we simply compare OBJ_BAD != OBJ_BLOB. Let's provide a different message for this case: $ git clone --no-local --bare parent.git tmp.git fatal: did not receive expected object 6b00a8c61ed379d5f925a72c1987c9c52129d364 fatal: index-pack failed While we're at it, let's also improve a true type mismatch error to look like fatal: object 6b00a8c61ed379d5f925a72c1987c9c52129d364: expected type blob, got tree Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano diff --git a/builtin/index-pack.c b/builtin/index-pack.c index fa74972..7878836 100644 --- a/builtin/index-pack.c +++ b/builtin/index-pack.c @@ -200,8 +200,13 @@ static unsigned check_object(struct object *obj) if (!(obj->flags & FLAG_CHECKED)) { unsigned long size; int type = sha1_object_info(obj->sha1, &size); - if (type != obj->type || type <= 0) - die(_("object of unexpected type")); + if (type <= 0) + die(_("did not receive expected object %s"), + sha1_to_hex(obj->sha1)); + if (type != obj->type) + die(_("object %s: expected type %s, found %s"), + sha1_to_hex(obj->sha1), + typename(obj->type), typename(type)); obj->flags |= FLAG_CHECKED; return 1; } -- cgit v0.10.2-6-g49f6
