Subject: [PATCH 1/4] t/helper: teach pack-deltas to list delta entries
Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2026 18:11:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alQ7WKITYDXfiVn9@com-79390> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1783905084.git.ttaylorr@openai.com>
In the following commit(s), some tests will need to distinguish between
`REF_DELTA`s and `OFS_DELTA`s to exercise a new '--no-ref-delta' option
for 'pack-objects'.
Existing tools report delta relationships, but not how their bases are
represented in the pack.
Teach 'test-tool pack-deltas' a '--list-deltas' mode. For each delta
entry, print the object ID, its REF_DELTA or OFS_DELTA type, and the
base object ID or pack offset, respectively. This lets tests inspect
pack headers without open-coding a parser.
