Subject: [PATCH 0/6] fsck --connectivity-check misses some corruption
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 16:22:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170116212231.ojoqzlajpszifaf3@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)

I came across a repository today that was missing an object, and for
which "git fsck" reported the error but "git fsck --connectivity-check"
did not. It turns out that the shortcut taken by --connectivity-check
violates some assumptions made by the rest of fsck (namely, that every
object in the repo has a "struct object" loaded).

And fsck being a generally neglected tool, I couldn't help but find
several more bugs on the way. :)

  [1/6]: t1450: clean up sub-objects in duplicate-entry test
  [2/6]: fsck: report trees as dangling
  [3/6]: fsck: prepare dummy objects for --connectivity-check
  [4/6]: fsck: tighten error-checks of "git fsck <head>"
  [5/6]: fsck: do not fallback "git fsck <bogus>" to "git fsck"
  [6/6]: fsck: check HAS_OBJ more consistently
