[PATCH v3 07/11] Introduce close_pack_index to permit replacement

From
Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Date
Apr 17, 2010, 20:07 UTC
Message-ID

In-Reply-To

By closing the pack index, a caller can later overwrite the index with an updated index file, possibly after converting from v1 to the v2 format. Because p->index_data is NULL after close, on the next access the index will be opened again and the other members will be updated with new data.
