From: LorenzoPegorari Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2026 14:16:46 GMT Subject: [GSoC PATCH v6 0/6] preserve promisor files content after repack Message-ID: In-Reply-To: The goal of this patch is to solve the NEEDSWORK comment added by 5374a290 (fetch-pack: write fetched refs to .promisor, 14/10/2019). This is done by adding a helper function that takes the content of all .promisor files in the `repository`, and copies it inside the first .promisor file created by the repack. Also, I added a comment explaining what is the purpose of the content of the .promisor files, since this wasn't explained anywhere (I found information regarding this only in the message of the previously cited commit). Finally, I added some tests to "t7700-repack.sh" and "t7703-repack-geometric.sh" that check if the content of .promisor files are correctly copied into the .promisor files created by a repack. V6 DIFF: * changed the name of the helper function to `write_promisor_file_after_repack`. * modified the helper function to create the ".promisor" file, so that is not required anymore. * modified the logic of the helper function (as suggested by Tian Yuchen) * modified the helper function to check for possible errors, and to check if the lines of the ".promisor" files are correctly formed. * fixed memory leak. * improved comments.
