Subject: [PATCH 2/3] branch, tag: retain old OIDs in batched deletions
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 22:11:57 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919201158.43415-3-maciej.ciemborowicz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260919201158.43415-1-maciej.ciemborowicz@gmail.com>

Since 8198907795 (use delete_refs when deleting tags or branches,
2021-01-21), branch and tag deletion pass no old OIDs to the ref transaction.
As a result, reference-transaction hooks report zero as both the old and new
OID.

Both commands already resolve the old OIDs before starting the deletion. Pass
those values to refs_delete_refs() so hooks receive useful old values without
adding any ref reads.
