Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] fetch-pack: remove fetch_if_missing=0
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2023 23:43:24 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230220181324.25116-1-five231003@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200507194354.33347-1-jonathantanmy@google.com>

So here, we are partial-cloning from a shallow remote and some
objects are not sent due to our clone filters. Let's say that
the shallow remote has a 5-commit history and we are cloning it
into another repository with a blob:none filter. The expected
behavior is cloning the 5 commits, with no blobs, except
for the HEAD.

When executing the above process, it leads to errors:

	fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
	fatal: protocol error: bad pack header
	warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed
	You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
	and retry with 'git restore --source=HEAD :/'

I looked into it a bit and it seems that packet_read() is not
successful. I'm not really sure how packet reading fits into
the big picture but it looks like the buffer is not read
completely.

It is a similar case with "bad pack header" too. The function
read_pack_header() fails because the pack header was not fully read.

Also, is the shallow object not sent when cloning due to the partial
clone filter and hence a subsequent fetching is done to ask for this
object? If so, then will such a fetch counted as an args->update_shallow?
