Description
Current behavior 😯
I'm not sure how to have a minimal example, but I'll attach the repo where I saw this problem.
TLDR, I have these two branches:
$ git branch -v | rg pr4021
ig-pr4021 4dec14596 minor fixups (clippy, UI)
old-ig-pr4021 21b572308 minor fixups (clippy, UI)However, when I use gix to get the list of references, it lists "refs/heads/ig-pr4021" twice, with different ids:
[src/main.rs:10:13] b = Reference {
name: FullName(
"refs/heads/ig-pr4021",
),
target: Object(
Sha1(21b57230833a1733f6685e14eabe936a09689a1b),
),
peeled: None,
}
[src/main.rs:10:13] b = Reference {
name: FullName(
"refs/heads/ig-pr4021",
),
target: Object(
Sha1(4dec145966c546402c5a9e28b932e7c8c939e01e),
),
peeled: None,
}
[src/main.rs:10:13] b = Reference {
name: FullName(
"refs/heads/old-ig-pr4021",
),
target: Object(
Sha1(21b57230833a1733f6685e14eabe936a09689a1b),
),
peeled: None,
}
As the names suggest, ig-pr4021 used to point to 21b57, but that was a long time ago.
The program that generated the above output is:
use std::path::Path;
use gix::bstr::{B, BString, ByteSlice};
fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
let repo = gix::discover(Path::new("/path/to/repo"))?;
for b in repo.references()?.local_branches()? {
let b = b.unwrap();
if b.name().as_bstr().find(b"pr4021").is_some() {
dbg!(b);
}
}
Ok(())
}I'm using gix v0.70.0 on ARM Mac OS. I can send you my lockfile, but I just populated it today; I'm hoping you can easily reproduce this (if you're OK with downloading my repo).
Workaround
Running git gc fixed this.
Expected behavior 🤔
The program should only print
[src/main.rs:10:13] b = Reference {
name: FullName(
"refs/heads/ig-pr4021",
),
target: Object(
Sha1(4dec145966c546402c5a9e28b932e7c8c939e01e),
),
peeled: None,
}
[src/main.rs:10:13] b = Reference {
name: FullName(
"refs/heads/old-ig-pr4021",
),
target: Object(
Sha1(21b57230833a1733f6685e14eabe936a09689a1b),
),
peeled: None,
}

Steps to reproduce 🕹
See above. (I will upload the repo in a bit and edit this message) (done).
The repo is at https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pheDpbYL8u9p8VWKWIIO4gbv3xjy35t/view?usp=sharing (150MB). Sorry for the size but, again, running git gc makes the bug go away.
