Subject: Just a note: .git/refs/snap/ is not standard
Date: Sun, 01 May 2005 18:54:51 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7vacneqtn8.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> (raw)
Linus,
not that there is any "de facto" or any standard there, but
the name .git/refs/snap/ you lifted from the vicinity thing is
not something Cogito folks have. My understanding is of their
concensus is that .git/refs have single level subdirectories
like 'heads' and 'tags', and there will be little 41-byte text
files that look like .git/HEAD. So you probably would want to
either (1) readdir in .git/refs (to future proof) or (2) drop
refs/snap from the vicinity list for now (to not give special
treatment to JIT, which I myself do not mind ;-)). Also if you
go route (2) drop "refs" itself as well.
