[PATCH 17/33] repack_without_ref(): silence errors for dangling packed refs

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Apr 14, 2013, 12:54 UTC
Message-ID
<1365944088-10588-18-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<1365944088-10588-1-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

Stop emitting an error message for dangling packed references found when deleting another packed reference. See the previous commit for a longer explanation of the issue.

Change repack_without_ref_fn() to silently ignore dangling packed references.
