For convenience, fsck prefixes the error/warning -with the message ID, e.g. "missingEmail: invalid author/committer -line - missing email" means that setting `fsck.missingEmail = ignore` -will hide that issue. -+ -In general, it is better to enumerate existing objects with problems -with `fsck.skipList`, instead of listing the kind of breakages these -problematic objects share to be ignored, as doing the latter will -allow new instances of the same breakages go unnoticed. -+ -Setting an unknown `fsck.<msg-id>` value will cause fsck to die, but -doing the same for `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>` -will only cause git to warn. - -fsck.skipList:: - The path to a list of object names (i.e. one unabbreviated SHA-1 per - line) that are known to be broken in a non-fatal way and should - be ignored. On versions of Git 2.20 and later comments ('#'), empty - lines, and any leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. Everything - but a SHA-1 per line will error out on older versions. -+ -This feature is useful when an established project should be accepted -despite early commits containing errors that can be safely ignored -such as invalid committer email addresses. Note: corrupt objects -cannot be skipped with this setting. -+ -Like `fsck.<msg-id>` this variable has corresponding -`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variants. -+ -Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the -`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variables will not -fall back on the `fsck.skipList` configuration if they aren't set. To -uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances -all three of them they must all set to the same values. -+ -Older versions of Git (before 2.20) documented that the object names -list should be sorted. This was never a requirement, the object names -could appear in any order, but when reading the list we tracked whether -the list was sorted for the purposes of an internal binary search -implementation, which could save itself some work with an already sorted -list. Unless you had a humongous list there was no reason to go out of -your way to pre-sort the list. After Git version 2.20 a hash implementation -is used instead, so there's now no reason to pre-sort the list. |
