Thanks for your help :) So Lukas Git Repository for Monticello works again. ByeBye sqeaksource for me... ;) On 2011-04-27, at 19:14, Max Leske wrote:
Concerning 2: No, it doesn't make sense at all to return nil. The reason that no exception is signalled is simply that that case should never be possible (not really an argument, I know :D). The method #packedObjectWithSignature is only sent if no loose object could be found. Then the packs are scanned and if the object isn't found in the packs the method returns nil.
I think an exception would make a lot of sense but I didn't implement an exception handling mechanism for FSGit so a user will get slapped in the face with a debugger. Better though than having to track down that nil bug...

Hi Max,
I took another effort to work on the git bindings of MC. However I ran into troubles with FSGitFilesystem on commiting.
1. I fail when saving the repos in GitCommit >> parents when it starts to lazily load the object which does not exist yet...
2. GitRespository >> packedObjectWithSignature: aGitObjectSignature does not throw an exception but simply returns nil? does this make sense?
maybe you have a clue how to solve this faster than I do :-)
