this case shouldn't be needed

What do you suggest instead? Mute partial match warnings?

let [@warning "-8"] (`Commit c) = Store.read_exn .. in
..

yes, as done in let pull

yes, as done in `let pull`

This is done in d2a0e526da. I found that there's no support for infix attributes on binding operators (.e.g let+) so I went with an intermediate binding.

We ended up here due to find_blob returning a Blob _ and not a Commit _ (how surprising given the name!)

should the same be applied to digest -- where !6 and !8 introduced the val commit since we ended up in https://github.com/robur-coop/git-kv/issues/6...

Hm. To me it seems fine that digest returns the blob. As I understand it it's a digest that represents the file data. Maybe @dinosaure, who has a much better understanding of both git and ocaml-git, has an opinion?

What digest should return is a unique hash of the data. This can be achieved by the last commit sha1. This can as well be done by computing a hash of the content.

Here, it is nowadays computed by the commit if we're not in change_and_push, and by this Blob thingy if we're in change_and_push. Of course we can leave that as is -- but I think that having a divergence in what the digest is computed over depending on whether we're in change_and_push or not may lead to unexpected strange error situations.

But this is off-topic to the PR you propose here...
