From 28ed9830b1dc65df37bdb3c9b8ef743f1f266262 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Haggerty Date: Mon, 22 May 2017 16:17:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] get_packed_ref_cache(): assume "packed-refs" won't change while locked If we've got the "packed-refs" file locked, then it can't change; there's no need to keep calling `stat_validity_check()` on it.
