Subject: [PATCH v2 04/10] backfill: die on incompatible filter options
Date: Mon, 04 May 2026 20:21:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <da4c19af42ccdf550b52a247aa688d20393b983a.1777926079.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2101.v2.git.1777926079.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <stolee@gmail.com>

The 'git backfill' command uses the path-walk API in a critical way: it
uses the objects output from the command to find the batches of missing
objects that should be requested from the server. Unlike 'git
pack-objects', we cannot fall back to another mechanism.

The previous change added the path_walk_filter_compatible() method that
we can reuse here. Use it during argument validation in cmd_backfill().
