I would not be surprised if that change breaks some other people's reimplementation. I know we do not validate the pack name with the hash of the contents in the current code, but at the same time I do remember that was one of the planned things to be done while I and Linus were working on the original pack design, which was the last task we did together before he retired from the maintainership of this project. -- 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
