75 * If fsck_enable_object_names() has not been called, all other functions are

78 * Use fsck_put_object_name() to seed initial names (e.g. from refnames); the
79 * fsck code will extend that while walking trees, etc.
81 * Use fsck_get_object_name() to get a single name (or NULL if none). Or the
82 * more convenient describe_object(), which always produces an output string
83 * with the oid combined with the name (if any). Note that the return value
84 * points to a rotating array of static buffers, and may be invalidated by a
85 * subsequent call.
