The fsck_object() function takes in a buffer, but also a "struct
object". The rules for using these vary between types:
- for a commit, we'll use the provided buffer; if it's NULL, we'll
fall back to get_commit_buffer(), which loads from either an
in-memory cache or from disk. If the latter fails, we'd die(), which
is non-ideal for fsck.
- for a tag, a NULL buffer will fall back to loading the object from
disk (and failure would lead to an fsck error)
- for a tree, we _never_ look at the provided buffer, and always use
tree->buffer
- for a blob, we usually don't look at the buffer at all, unless it
has been marked as a .gitmodule file. In that case we check the
buffer given to us, or assume a NULL buffer is a very large blob
(and complain about it)
This is much more complex than it needs to be. It turns out that nobody
ever feeds a NULL buffer that isn't a blob:
- git-fsck calls fsck_object() only from fsck_obj(). That in turn is
called by one of:
- fsck_obj_buffer(), which is a callback to verify_pack(), which
unpacks everything except large blobs into a buffer (see
pack-check.c, lines 131-141).
- fsck_loose(), which hits a BUG() on non-blobs with a NULL buffer
(builtin/fsck.c, lines 639-640)
And in either case, we'll have just called parse_object_buffer()
anyway, which would segfault on a NULL buffer for commits or tags
(not for trees, but it would install a NULL tree->buffer which would
later cause a segfault)
- git-index-pack asserts that the buffer is non-NULL unless the object
is a blob (see builtin/index-pack.c, line 832)
- git-unpack-objects always writes a non-NULL buffer into its
obj_buffer hash, which is then fed to fsck_object(). (There is
actually a funny thing here where it does not store blob buffers at
all, nor does it call fsck on them; it does check any needed blobs
via fsck_finish() though).
Let's make the rules simpler, which reduces the amount of code and gives
us more flexibility in refactoring the fsck code. The new rules are:
- only blobs are allowed to pass a NULL buffer
- we always use the provided buffer, never pulling information from
the object struct
We don't have to adjust any callers, because they were already adhering
to these. Note that we do drop a few fsck identifiers for missing tags,
but that was all dead code (because nobody passed a NULL tag buffer).

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
