Subject: [PATCH 2/2] t7900: clean up some broken refs
Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2021 03:23:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <616b73a6556824fb94753cfcc62bf01d36b8b311.1610940216.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.838.git.1610940216.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

The tests for the 'prefetch' task create remotes and fetch refs into
'refs/prefetch/<remote>/' and tags into 'refs/tags/'. These tests use
the remotes to create objects not intended to be seen by the "local"
repository.

In that sense, the incrmental-repack tasks did not have these objects
and refs in mind. That test replaces the object directory with a
specific pack-file layout for testing the batch-size logic. However,
this causes some operations to start showing warnings such as:

 error: refs/prefetch/remote1/one does not point to a valid object!
 error: refs/tags/one does not point to a valid object!

This only shows up if you run the tests verbosely and watch the output.
It caught my eye and I _thought_ that there was a bug where 'git gc' or
'git repack' wouldn't check 'refs/prefetch/' before pruning objects.
That is incorrect. Those commands do handle 'refs/prefetch/' correctly.

All that is left is to clean up the tests in t7900-maintenance.sh to
remove these tags and refs that are not being repacked for the
incremental-repack tests.
