Subject: [PATCH] test-hashmap: document why it is no longer used but still there
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2025 16:18:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqqwm7ptghz.fsf@gitster.g> (raw)
As I ended up wasting a few dozen minutes looking for the reason why
this is still here, help future developers by saving them from
wasting their time by documenting why this code that apparently is
not used by anybody is still here.
