Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fetch, remote: retain old OIDs when pruning refs
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 22:11:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260919201158.43415-4-maciej.ciemborowicz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260919201158.43415-1-maciej.ciemborowicz@gmail.com>
get_stale_heads() records the current value of each stale local ref in its
new_oid member. The pruning paths discard that value and request unconditional
deletion, so reference-transaction hooks receive a null old OID.
Carry the recorded values into the deletion transactions. This reuses data
collected while finding stale refs and therefore requires no additional ref
reads.
