Date: Thu, 08 Feb 2024 15:17:31 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqq1q9mmtpw.fsf@gitster.g> (raw)

Sometimes, especially during tests of low level machinery, it is
handy to have a way to disable lazy fetching of objects.  This
allows us to say, for example, "git cat-file -e <object-name>", to
see if the object is locally available.
