Fix a regression in 89e4202f982 ([PATCH] Parse tags for absent objects, 2005-06-21) (yes, that ancient!) and correctly report an error on a tag like:
object <a tree hash>
type commitAs:
error: object <a tree hash> is tree, not a commit
Instead of our long-standing misbehavior of inverting the two, and reporting:
error: object <a tree hash> is commit, not a tree
Which, as can be trivially seen with 'git cat-file -t <a tree hash>' is incorrect.
The reason for this misreporting is that in parse_tag_buffer() we end up doing a lookup_{blob,commit,tag,tree}() depending on what we read out of the "type" line.
If we haven't parsed that object before we end up dispatching to the type-specific lookup functions, e.g. this for commit.c in lookup_commit_type():
struct object *obj = lookup_object(r, oid); if (!obj) return create_object(r, oid, alloc_commit_node(r));
Its allocation will then set the obj->type according to what the tag told us the type was, but which we've never validated. At this point we've got an object in memory that hasn't been parsed, and whose type is incorrect, since we mistrusted a tag to tell us the type.
Then when we actually load the object with parse_object() we read it and find that it's a "tree". See 8ff226a9d5e (add object_as_type helper for casting objects, 2014-07-13) for that behavior (that's just a refactoring commit, but shows all the code involved).
Which explains why we inverted the error report. Normally when object_as_type() is called it's by the lookup_{blob,commit,tag,tree}() functions via parse_object(). At that point we can trust the obj->type.
In the case of parsing objects we've learned about via a tag with an incorrect type it's the opposite, the obj->type isn't correct and holds the mislabeled type, but we're parsing the object and know for sure what object type we're dealing with.
Hence the non-intuitive solution of adding a lookup_{blob,commit,tag,tree}_type() function. It's to distinguish parse_object_buffer() where we actually know the type from parse_tag_buffer() where we're just guessing about the type.
