I saw the problem first on pu, some time ago,

Now it appeared on next as well, so it's time to look a little bit deeper.
This test case of t1450 fails:
test_expect_success 'tag pointing to something else than its type' '
I can't reproduce this failure; I tried both pu or next, on Linux and OS
X (10.7).
Linux:

That seems very broken. That sha1 can have only one type, so OS X is
actually mis-parsing the object type? Weird. I would suggest a memory
error or race condition, but the test is valgrind-clean, and fsck should
not be threaded at all.
What does "git show 63499e4" show when the test has failed? If you
re-run "git fsck --tags", does it reproduce reliably (i.e., is it bogus
data that something wrote to the object db, or is it good data being
ruined during the reading process)?
I reverted the last change in fsck.c (Use the streaming interface), but that
doesn't help
Looking into the trash directory and looking at the files, we can see that the
.git/index is different
between Linux and Mac OS X.
Is there a good way to debug the index file?
git ls-files -s will dump the entries. But I'd expect them not to be
byte-equivalent, because the index will contain things like mtimes for
each entry, which will vary from run to run. Plus the error message
above indicates something much more broken.
After some time, the problem is still there
When I make a fresh clone of git.git under Mac OS, 1450 passes.
After a while, running things like "git fetch && git checkout
origin/next && make clean && make test", it starts to fail.
(currently I have a couple of git repo-copies, t1450 fails in git.pu
and passes in git.next.
But that has nothing to do with next or pu)
When I run ssh into the Mac OS X machine, the test case passes even in pu.
Very strange, but reproducable.
Now things become more puzzled:
I managed to re-produce it on a Linux machine as well.
Using v1.7.12 and applying my i18.pathencoding patch,
t1450 fails on Linux, regardless if I use ssh or sit locally at the machine.
I make a new version of t1450-fsck.sh, called t1450-fsck2.sh
That uses git fsck --verbose, I add the log file here.
The short version:
- I can re-run the "git fsck", all files on disk have the same md5.
- The 63499e4ea8e096b831515ceb1d5a7593e4d87ae5 has the same md5 as well
I added lots of printouts in git code, according to my understanding
63499 is checked/fsck'ed after being loaded into RAM, is that right?
For some reasons it is classified as "is a blob, not a commit" when it
passes and "is a commit, not a blob" when it fails.
I want to debug when it is loaded into RAM, so that code is in
read-cache.c, isn't it?
Does anybody have a tool to debug the contents of the index file?
Even offline could help, I can send a bunch of files ;-)
And why doesn't fsck find the broken link?
Other ideas are welcome,
thanks everybody for reading/helping.
