I do not think you can store object of type "bogus" in a pack data stream to begin with, so I wouldn't worry about packed objects. "cat-file --literally" that does not take "-t" would not be useful, as the output "cat-file <type> <object>" does not tell what <type> the thing is. Other things like sizes and existence can be inferred once you have an interface to do "cat-file <type> <object>", so in that sense -e and -s are not essential (this also applies to "cat-file" without --literally). By definition, "--literally -p" would not be able to do anything fancier than just dump the bytes (i.e. what "cat-file <type> <object>" does), as the bogus type is not something the code would know the best external representation for. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
