I guess you aren't trying to process the WebKit or Linux kernel repositories. Or you can afford more RAM than I can[1]. :-) [1] $DAY_JOB has lots of RAM. Lots. > Are you guys contributors of JGit?

The closest I could get was that class: > https://github.com/eclipse/jgit/blob/master/org.eclipse.jgit/src/org/eclipse/jgit/internal/storage/file/UnpackedObject.java This class handles the loose object format in $GIT_DIR/objects, but does not handle objects contained in pack files. That is elsewhere, and well, more complex.

This is the dead format that is no longer written, but is still supported. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
