Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] config doc: mention future aspirations for transfer.fsckObjects
Date: Fri, 25 May 2018 19:28:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180525192811.25680-5-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180525192811.25680-1-avarab@gmail.com>

Jeff King has said on at least a couple of occasions (at least one of
which may have been in person over beer) that leaving corrupt objects
in the local object store after a "fetch" that fails
transfer.fsckObjects should be fixed, and we should have something
like the server-side quarantine environment on the client-side.

Let's note that in the documentation so we don't seem to be claiming
that this is by design. A previous version of this change called the
current behavior a "bug", that's probably too strong a claim, but I
don't think anyone would dislike a hypothetical local quarantine
patch, so let's we might change this in the future.
