Subject: cat-file ambiguity prints "dangling"
Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2019 03:38:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190118033845.s2vlrb3wd3m2jfzu@dcvr> (raw)
Hi David,
Perhaps I'm confused, the cat-file manpage seems to indicate
"dangling" only gets printed if I use "--follow-symlinks".
However, I'm not using "--follow-symlinks" and I get
"dangling" when passing ambiguous object IDs:
Trying to check the ambiguous "dead" against git.git, I get:
$ echo dead | git cat-file --batch-check 2>/dev/null
dangling 4
dead
Is the above intended?
stderr shows the ambiguity and gives me hints, which is expected.
Thanks.
