[PATCH 06/20] read_packed_refs(): only check for a header at the top of the file

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Sep 13, 2017, 17:16 UTC
Message-ID
<a1d50f3a452873f3d845742d378887aac14f7cb6.1505319366.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1505319366.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

This tightens up the parsing a bit; previously, stray header-looking lines would have been processed.
