Subject: [RFC][PATCH 0/3] show-index: modernize and implement auto-detection of hash algorithm
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 19:35:38 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260120140901.517928-1-shreyanshpaliwalcmsmn@gmail.com> (raw)
This patch series improves the current git show-index implementation,
by adding automatic hash detection, removing global state variables,
and wrapping error messages for better clarity.
Currently, when git show-index is run outside of a repository, it falls back
to SHA-1 unless --object-format is explicitly provided, the first patch
implements automatic hash detection, but it only works when there are no
64-bit offsets present in the index file.
I am unsure if there is an appropriate way to detect such cases.
Additionally, please let me know if there are any tests that should be
made or modified for these changes, or if any documentation updates are
expected as well.
Do let me know your thoughts on this.

show-index: implement automatic hash detection
show-index: use gettext wrapping in error messages
show-index: remove global state variables
