When re-rolling an unrelated series[1] dealing with pack-objects.c and

the newly added --stdin-packs option in v2.32.0 will segfault if fed
garbage data.

This fixes the test blindspots, and 2/2 fixes the segfault.

Thanks. I took a close look at the second patch, and it looks good to me
with a few minor comments. The first patch looks good as well, although
I didn't look as closely.

As discussed in its commit message I'm being lazy about emitting the
error message. If you supply N bogus lines on stdin we'll error on the
first one, since the input is first sorted by the string-list.c
API. The test case for the error message relies on which of two SHA
lines sorts first, and I picked input that happens to sort the same
way under both SHA-1 and SHA-256.

Lazy, but I figured for this use-case it wasn't worth keeping track of
what line we saw when, or to refactor the parsing check on pack names
as we get input lines.

Yeah. I think what you wrote is entirely reasonable, too. I suggested
some alternatives if you are feeling motivated to make the error
reporting nicer, but as you say, I think the vast majority of use-cases
don't care about the output.

Thanks,
Taylor
