Acquiring information about an object from a database is easy if you have a SHA1 to refer to the object::

def _init_externals():

"""Initialize external projects by putting them into the path"""

class TestGitDB(TestDBBase):

def test_reading(self):

# we have packs and loose objects, alternates doesn't necessarily exist

assert 1 < len(gdb.databases()) < 4

pdb = PackedDB(path)

# on demand, we init our pack cache

assert pdb._st_mtime != 0

# test pack directory changed:

# setup alternate file

# add two, one is invalid

self.make_alt_file(alt_path, [own_repo_path, "invalid/path"])

rdb.update_cache()

assert len(rdb.databases()) == 1

class TestExamples(TestBase):

def test_base(self):

for sha1 in ldb.sha_iter():

oinfo = ldb.info(sha1)
