I guess I wrote essentially the same thing before refreshing my Inbox. I am a bit fuzzy between off_t and size_t; the former is for the size of things you see on the filesystem, while the latter is for you to give malloc(3). I would have thought that off_t is the type we would want at the end of the raw object header, denoting the size of a blob object when deflated, which could be larger than the size of a region of memory we can get from malloc(3), in which case we would use the streaming interface. -- 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
