From: Kristofer Karlsson <krka@spotify.com> The connectivity check follows replace refs, but other operations that depend on the repository being complete, such as fsck, prune, pack-objects and upload-pack, do not. They were taught to ignore replacements in dae556bdb1 (environment: add global variable to disable replacement, 2009-01-23), as they must work with the original objects, and check_connected() came later without doing the same. Teach the connectivity check to ignore replacements as well, so that it verifies the same objects that the commands relying on its result will read. This is not a problem seen in practice, but the two can disagree. If a replace ref names an object that is not yet present locally, the check follows the replacement instead of that object when it arrives, and accepts an incoming pack that lacks objects below it. fsck and repack then fail. Such a replace ref can be the result of fetching refs/replace/* without the branch that contains the replaced commit, which fsck does not complain about, but it still takes a sender that sends an incomplete pack. check_connected() passes --connectivity-check to its rev-list subprocess, so make rev-list disable replacements when that option is given, for both the full and the incremental check. Also drop OBJECT_INFO_LOOKUP_REPLACE from the object reads in tree-verify.c, used by the incremental check, to match. Disabling replacements already overrides the flag, but it suggests the opposite intent. The t5413 test that expected the check to accept a commit whose original tree is incomplete because a replacement is complete now expects a rejection, and the test that disabled replacements explicitly to get one is redundant.
