[PATCH v6 02/16] object-name: allow skipping ambiguity checks in `get_oid()` family

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Mar 12, 2025, 15:56 UTC
Message-ID
<20250312-pks-update-ref-optimization-v6-2-f778e0414f55@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20250312-pks-update-ref-optimization-v6-0-f778e0414f55@pks.im>

When reading an object ID via `get_oid_basic()` or any of its related functions we perform a check whether the object ID is ambiguous, which can be the case when a reference with the same name exists. While the check is generally helpful, there are cases where it only adds to the runtime overhead without providing much of a benefit.

Add a new flag that allows us to disable the check. The flag will be used in a subsequent commit.
