The behaviour of the symlinked in ref directories has changed from
earlier versions of git. They used to be taken into account in
git-fsck-cache --unreachable. The code in question would simply stat
the contents of .git/refs and recursively expand any S_ISDIR. Now the
code does an lstat and effectively throws symlinks away.
refs.c lines 48,52 @ do_for_each_ref
...
memcpy(path + baselen, de->d_name, namelen+1);
if (lstat(git_path("%s", path), &st) < 0)
continue;
if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) {
retval = do_for_each_ref(path, fn);
...
Can the previous behaviour be reinstated?
