Subject: [PATCH v2] cache-tree: do not try to use an invalidated subtree info to build a tree
Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2014 15:39:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <xmqqvbp5y7ef.fsf_-_@gitster.dls.corp.google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <xmqq4mwpzpfw.fsf_-_@gitster.dls.corp.google.com> (Junio C. Hamano's message of "Tue, 02 Sep 2014 14:24:03 -0700")

We punt from repairing the cache-tree during a branch switching if
it involves having to create a new tree object that does not yet
exist in the object store.  "mkdir dir && >dir/file && git add dir"
followed by "git checkout" is one example, when a tree that records
the state of such "dir/" is not in the object store.

However, after discovering that we do not have a tree object that
records the state of "dir/", the caller failed to remember the fact
that it noticed the cache-tree entry it received for "dir/" is
invalidated, it already knows it should not be populating the level
callchain to stop the code to attempt populating the level that has
"dir/" as its immediate subdirectory, and it is not an error at all
for the sublevel cache-tree entry gave it a bogus object name it
shouldn't even look at.

This led the caller detect and report a non-existent error.  The end
result was the same and we avoided stuffing a non-existent tree to
the cache-tree, but we shouldn't have issued an alarming error
message to the user.

 * Second try.  The level that has intent-to-add entries needs to be
   kept invalidated but the level above it needs to treat as if the
   i-t-a entries do not exist and build the whole tree; a directory
   that does not yet have corresponding tree object while repairing
   the cache-tree needs to invalidate itself *and* propagate the
   (in)validity upwards.  They have to be treated differently but
   the first attempt failed to do so.
