Subject: [PATCH] Catch errors when writing an index that contains invalid objects.

From: Johannes Sixt <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 13:50:00 +0000 (UTC)

From: Johannes Sixt <[email-masked]>

If git-write-index is called without --missing-ok, it reports invalid
objects that it finds in the index. But without this patch it dies
right away or may run into an infinite loop.
