From e2bfa50ac3bfc697f3caa623213acbf591cdfa8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2020 23:40:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] pack-write/docs: update regarding pack naming The index-pack documentation explicitly states that the pack name is derived from the sorted list of object names, but since commit 1190a1acf800 ("pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash") that isn't true anymore. Be less explicit in the docs as to what the exact output is, and just say that it's whatever goes into the pack name. Also update a comment on write_idx_file() since it no longer modifies the sha1 variable (it's const now anyway), as noted by Junio.
