Isn't possible to rename git-verify-pack to, say, git-fsck-pack instead?

The question is what to name it. git-fsck-cache (which is not about cache, whose name somehow implies it is trying to see consistency of the index file, but in reality which is about the object database --- it should be renamed to git-fsck-objects) does the same verification when the pack is placed under objects/pack/, and the way I envision git-verify/check/fsck-pack to be used is to run it _before_ you place a pack in your object database; it is like running sha1sum on a tarball before extracting it. Also I would like to add some "info" output options to the git-verify/check/fsck-pack program that: - lists all the contained SHA1 objects; - with their type and size; - with their delta depth (if deltified); - with the delta-data size for each delta step. to help optimizing the git-pack-objects. BTW, is there a filesystem that would house the source to the core GIT that do not like names that differ only in underscore and dash? ``` ## Nicolas Pitre, 2005-06-30 20:35 Subject: Re: verify_pack.c vs verify-pack.c Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.63.0506301631480.1667%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: <7vy88r1tcp.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ``` On Thu, 30 Jun 2005, Junio C Hamano wrote: > >>>>> "NP" == Nicolas Pitre writes: > > NP> This is confusing.

Probably not. It is just weird in a ls output that's all. Certainly not a big issue.

Why not rename the one containing the main as: verify-pack-main.c jon. ```
