[jgit-dev] What does WorkDirCheckout.hasParentBlob() mean?

[Christian Halstrick <christian.halstrick@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

What does it mean if hasParentBlob(Tree t, String name) return true?
Why do we check for that in WorkDirCheckout.processEntry(..)?

>From the coding I understand this as "for a certain entry in the tree
lookup all his (grand-)parents and search for an entry which is a blob
(and not a tree). How could a parent of tree-entry be something
different then a tree?

Ciao
