Subject: format of git pack objects
Message-ID: <AANLkTimNnUYoBa1VfZeBb=eD=HymOU_h57bthYFC9jUZ@mail.gmail.com>

hi folks,

where can i get information (specifications) on the format of git
pack-objects... please don't say "look at the source code" unless
there simply doesn't exist any format specifications.  as part of the
git p2p bittorrent vfs layer stuff, a "file save" operation doesn't
"happen by magic": i need to actually verify the pack objects
received: count the number of entries?  or do i?

tia,

l.
