Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] merge,diff: remove the_repository check before prefetching blobs
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 01:59:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7155a0da6f8bcdac90cf1ed085622f2c8b68675e.1771552788.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2048.v2.git.1771552788.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

Prefetching of blobs from promisor remotes was added to diff in
7fbbcb21b162 (diff: batch fetching of missing blobs, 2019-04-05).  In
that commit,

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190405170934.20441-1-jonathantanmy@google.com/

was squashed into

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/44de02e584f449481e6fb00cf35d74adf0192e9d.1553895166.git.jonathantanmy@google.com/

without the extra explanation about the squashed changes being added to
the commit message; in particular, this explanation from that first link
is absent:

> Also, prefetch only if the repository being diffed is the_repository
> (because we do not support lazy fetching for any other repository
>  anyway).

Then, later, this checking was spread from diff.c to diffcore-rename.c
and diffcore-break.c by 95acf11a3dc3 (diff: restrict when prefetching
occurs, 2020-04-07) and then further split in d331dd3b0c82
(diffcore-rename: allow different missing_object_cb functions,
2021-06-22).  I also copied the logic from prefetching blobs from
diff.c to merge-ort.c in 2bff554b23e8 (merge-ort: add prefetching for
content merges, 2021-06-22).

The reason for all these checks was noted above -- we only supported
lazy fetching for the_repository.  However, that changed with
ef830cc43412 (promisor-remote: teach lazy-fetch in any repo,
2021-06-17), so these checks are now unnecessary.  Remove them.
