Repository navigation
GitPython does not contain a 'is_valid_hash' method. #1265
Description
Am I missing something or is that currently missing?
The git command would be git cat-file commit {git_hash}.
I used the following before using GitPython:
def git_hash_is_valid(git_hash):
return subprocess_return_call(f"git cat-file commit {git_hash}") == 0
def subprocess_return_call(call_string):
call_parameters = call_string.split(" ")
return subprocess.call(
call_parameters,
stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
stdout=open(os.devnull, 'w')
)
Would a method like that fit into repo directly like repo.is_ancestor()?
I know self.repo.commit( works, but that does not differentiate between refs and commit hashes.

PS: If this is something that would be ok to include, I'd create the PR, I'm currently doing it with this:

PPS: We could also add default values to the
repo.commit(method, to addSymbolicReferences=True, Commit=True, TagObject=True, Blob=True, Tree=True
