Be less explicit in the docs as to what the exact output is, and just say that it's whatever goes into the pack name. Also update a comment on write_idx_file() since it no longer modifies the sha1 variable (it's const now anyway), as noted by Junio. Fixes: 1190a1acf800 ("pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash") Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg --- It was reported that bup writes pack files that have a name different from what git does, and I think it's quite possibly because of this documentation ... it doesn't actually really *matter* though, as long as the file is internally consistent nothing checks that the name also matches the footer. You can also take this as a bug report and fix the language in some other, perhaps more precise way, if you prefer :-) v2: correct bup list address, oops v3: don't re-indent, update the comment as well --- Documentation/git-index-pack.txt | 4 ++-- pack-write.c | 5 ++--- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/git-index-pack.txt b/Documentation/git-index-pack.txt index 9316d9a80b0d..ac74d058e01d 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-index-pack.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-index-pack.txt @@ -104,8 +104,8 @@ This option cannot be used with --stdin.
