Re: [PATCH] Fix git-fsck-cache segfault on invalid tag

[Petr Baudis <pasky@ucw.cz>]

Dear diary, on Fri, May 20, 2005 at 09:00:41AM CEST, I got a letter
where Frank Sorenson <frank@tuxrocks.com> told me that...

Oh. I've fixed this too but didn't even get to commit it yet. :-)

My error message is

	error("%s: invalid sha1 pointer %.40s", path, hexname);

I'd prefer that (at least use the error() call). The .40 is there since
it has a newline on its own.
