Patch [1/2] removes an unused msg-id BAD_TAG_OBJECT Patch [2/2] adds a fsck-msgids.txt that lists msg-ids that fsck checks for Since v1: * provided a full list of error messages along with corresponding default severity * no longer including the whole list in git-config * add a comment in fsck.h to remind developers to keep the documentation accurate when making changes to the list of error messages
Thanks. I did a bit of sanity checking and it made my earlier suspicion stronger. We MUST have at least an automated checker to check the doc against the fsck.h header, if not an automated generator of the doc from the fsck.h header. * Just like your [1/2] pointed out an error type that is no longer in use, MISSING_TREE_OBJECT is not used. It seems that this was never used since it was introduced at 159e7b08 (fsck: detect gitmodules files, 2018-05-02) * A few items were misspelled. * A handful items were missing. The latter two are shown in the attached, which I am tempted to just squash into your 2/2. I think the MISSING_TREE_OBJECT one deserves a separate commit between 1/2 and 2/2.
