Subject: [PATCH 2/6] builtin/receive-pack: pass shallow file explicitly
Date: Thu,  6 Aug 2026 16:38:55 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806213859.816157-3-jltobler@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806213859.816157-1-jltobler@gmail.com>

If shallow information is provided during `unpack()`, a temporary
shallow file is created and stored in global state. In a subsequent
commit, the `unpack()` logic is moved behind a generic ODB transaction
interface to handle writing packfiles and thus can no longer rely on
such global state. Lift the setup of the temporary shallow file out of
`unpack()` and wire it through to its call sites explicitly.
