From: Junio C Hamano Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 22:51:38 +0000 (-0700) Subject: sha1_object_info_extended(): expose a bit more info X-Git-Tag: v1.7.7-rc0~115^2~11 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/9a4905902230c080f0f6a64ed7f0aaa5777d2f5b?ds=sidebyside;hp=9a4905902230c080f0f6a64ed7f0aaa5777d2f5b sha1_object_info_extended(): expose a bit more info The original interface for sha1_object_info() takes an object name and gives back a type and its size (the latter is given only when it was asked). The new interface wraps its implementation and exposes a bit more pieces of information that the interface used to discard, namely: - where the object is stored (loose? cached? packed?) - if packed, where in which packfile? Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- * In the earlier round, this used u.pack.delta to record the length of the delta chain, but the caller is not necessarily interested in the length of the delta chain per-se, but may only want to know if it is a delta against another object or is stored as a deflated data. Calling packed_object_info_detail() involves walking the reverse index chain to compute the store size of the object and is unnecessarily expensive. We could resurrect the code if a new caller wants to know, but I doubt it. ---
