Hi,
this small patch series fixes the bug reported in [1].
In summary, when git-merge(1) writes merged blobs it may be unable to
read them back because the loose object cache does not get updated.
Consequently, we may think that the blobs do not exist locally, and thus
in a promisor remote we may perform a backfill fetch. But as the remote
doesn't know those objects we'll fail.
Thanks!
Patrick
The fix looks good to me, and I verified that the test fails
without it. My own local fix is logically equivalent,
which is a good sign, though perhaps that biased my review.
Thanks, both.
