I am somewhat against outright removing the capability to write out invalid objects deliberately from these low level tools, because we would need a way to easily reproduce bugs in end-user facing tools by other people who claim to produce Git objects, but I would agree that by default that should be forbidden. In other words, two things must happen; improve checks when these low level debugging aid tools are creating objects, and allow bypassing these additional checks with "--experiment" option or something. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
