From 39e4ae388047bd7f6f3a4ad86ba5eba523dd0668 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karthik Nayak Date: Sun, 3 May 2015 20:00:01 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] cat-file: teach cat-file a '--allow-unknown-type' option 'git cat-file' throws an error while trying to print the type or size of a broken/corrupt object. This is because these objects are usually of unknown types. Teach git cat-file a '--allow-unknown-type' option where it prints the type or size of a broken/corrupt object without throwing an error. Modify '-t' and '-s' options to call sha1_object_info_extended() directly to support the '--allow-unknown-type' option. Add documentation for 'cat-file --allow-unknown-type'. Helped-by: Junio C Hamano Helped-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Karthik Nayak cat-file: add documentation for '--allow-unknown-type' option.
