From b41860bf28a16ad6015eb0c55dc95602f1235640 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Koegler Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2008 22:46:11 +0100 Subject: unpack-objects: prevent writing of inconsistent objects This patch introduces a strict mode, which ensures that: - no malformed object will be written - no object with broken links will be written The patch ensures this by delaying the write of all non blob object. These object are written, after all objects they link to are written. An error can only result in unreferenced objects.
