We probably could also do printf "%s %d\0" "$2" "$size" to cope with possible leading space padding, but your version makes the intent a lot clearer. > + cat tmp_loose.content > + } >tmp_loose.raw && OK, a loose object file is a deflated bytestream of object header followed by the payload, and because the header records the size of the payload, we need to read the payload to its end first. > + oid=$(test-tool $test_hash_algo <tmp_loose.raw) && And hashing the raw gives us the object name. > + suffix=${oid#??} && > + prefix=${oid%$suffix} && > + dir=$1/$prefix && > + file=$dir/$suffix && OK. > + test-tool zlib deflate <tmp_loose.raw >tmp_loose.zlib && > + mkdir -p "$dir" && > + mv tmp_loose.zlib "$file" && Ah, you are being very careful.
