We already have a GIT_TRACE_PACKET mechanism for tracing packets. Let's extend it with GIT_TRACE_PACK to dump the verbatim packfile.FWIW, this also works for me - I have no preference between my patches and Jeff's. I suspect yours are much better given that you have a clue about git internals ;).
I like mine better than yours, if only because it hooks into the existing tracing mechanism. But I am sad that neither of our proposals works for tracing pushed packs (something that is useful for the opposite situation: you have a sane git server, and some unknown misbehaving _client_ is sending you bogus packs). Here's a rough cut at the "trace stdin" idea I mentioned earlier (which is essentially an internal "tee"). You can collect the incoming pack like: GIT_TRACE=1 \ GIT_TRACE_STDIN=/tmp/foo.pack \ GIT_TRACE_STDIN_FOR=index-pack \ git fetch ... The "STDIN_FOR" hack is there because otherwise you get the stdin for multiple processes intermingled. I think a cleaner way to do it would be to allow something like: GIT_TRACE_STDIN=/tmp/stdin.%p and replace "%p" with the PID of the tracing process. I like this approach because it works everywhere (for pushed packs, but also for any other git commands you may want to debug). The downside versus the other patches is that to replay the index-pack command, you need to collect both its stdin and its arguments (which you can get from the GIT_TRACE output). On the other hand, it gives you a more realistic replay of what happened (e.g., if there is a bug triggered by the --pack-header code). Here is the patch: ---
