Git currently reports loose objects as 'corrupt' if they've been deflated using a window size less than 32Kb, because the experimental_loose_object() function doesn't recognise the header byte as a zlib header. This patch makes the function tolerant of all valid window sizes (15-bit to 8-bit) - but doesn't sacrifice it's accuracy in distingushing the standard loose-object format from the experimental (now abandoned) format. On memory constrained systems zlib may use a much smaller window size - working on Agit, I found that Android uses a 4KB window; giving a header byte of 0x48, not 0x78. Consequently all loose objects generated appear 'corrupt', which is why Agit is a read-only Git client at this time - I don't want my client to generate Git repos that other clients treat as broken :( This patch makes Git tolerant of different deflate settings - it might appear that it changes experimental_loose_object() to the point where it could incorrectly identify the experimental format as the standard one, but the two criteria (bitmask & checksum) can only give a false result for an experimental object where both of the following are true: 1) object size is exactly 8 bytes when uncompressed (bitmask) 2) [single-byte in-pack git type&size header] * 256 + [1st byte of the following zlib header] % 31 = 0 (checksum) As it happens, for all possible combinations of valid object type (1-4) and window bits (0-7), the only time when the checksum will be divisible by 31 is for 0x1838 - ie object type *1*, a Commit - which, due the fields all Commit objects must contain, could never be as small as 8 bytes in size. Given this, the combination of the two criteria (bitmask & checksum) always correctly determines the buffer format, and is more tolerant than the previous version. The alternative to this patch is simply removing support for the experimental format, which I am also totally cool with.

test_description='Correctly identify and parse loose object headers
|
|
|
|
There are two file formats for loose objects - the original standard
|
|
format, and the experimental format introduced with Git v1.4.3, later
|
|
deprecated with v1.5.3. Although Git no longer writes the
|
|
experimental format, objects in both formats must be read, with the
|
|
format for a given file being determined by the header.
|
|
|
|
Detecting file format based on header is not entirely trivial, not
|
|
least because the first byte of a zlib-deflated stream will vary
|
|
depending on how much memory was allocated for the deflation window
|
|
buffer when the object was written out (for example 4KB on Android,
|
|
rather that 32KB on a normal PC).
|
|
|
|
The loose objects used as test vectors have been generated with the
|
|
following Git versions:
|
|
|
|
standard format: Git v1.7.4.1
|
|
experimental format: Git v1.4.3 (legacyheaders=false)
|
|
standard format, deflated with 4KB window size: Agit/JGit on Android
