Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Symlink resolutions: limits and return modes
Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2024 09:03:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.1751.git.1718615028.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
It can be useful to limit the number of symlink resolutions performed while
looking for a tree entry. The goal is to provide the ability to resolve up
to a particular depth, instead of reaching the end of the link chain.
In addition, I would like to extend the symlink resolution process and
provide the ability to return the object found at the designated depth
instead of returning an error.
The current code already provides a limit to the maximum number of
resolutions that can be performed, and something similar to this is returned
to the caller:
loop SP <size> LF
<object> LF
With these patches, we are looking to return the actual information of the
object where the resolution stopped. Something similar to:
<oid> blob <size>\nndata\n
