From 33e42de0d21a8365496e904235bd32fd4659300d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Moy Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2012 17:24:52 +0100 Subject: fsck: give accurate error message on empty loose object files Since 3ba7a065527a (A loose object is not corrupt if it cannot be read due to EMFILE), "git fsck" on a repository with an empty loose object file complains with the error message fatal: failed to read object : Invalid argument This comes from a failure of mmap on this empty file, which sets errno to EINVAL. Instead of calling xmmap on empty file, we display a clean error message ourselves, and return a NULL pointer. The new message is error: object file .git/objects/09/ is empty fatal: loose object (stored in .git/objects/09/) is corrupt The second line was already there before the regression in 3ba7a065527a, and the first is an additional message, that should help diagnosing the problem for the user.
