Unable to retrieve objects replaced by git-replace

[orhun]

Description

git2 does not return the new values for objects replaced via git-replace command.

Reproduce steps

cd $(mktemp -d)
git init .
git commit --allow-empty -m 'test: test commit'

log example works fine:

$ cargo run --example log -- --git-dir /tmp/<path>

commit 37c00d39b18b49ae5819b798b2b3256b4169223b
Author: Orhun Parmaksız <[email protected]>
Date:   Sun Sep  1 15:25:43 2024 +0300

    test: test commit

Then edit the last commit via git-replace:

git replace --edit HEAD # e.g. change "test" -> "best"

log example still shows the old commit message:

$ cargo run --example log -- --git-dir /tmp/<path>

commit 37c00d39b18b49ae5819b798b2b3256b4169223b
Author: Orhun Parmaksız <[email protected]>
Date:   Sun Sep  1 15:25:43 2024 +0300

    test: test commit

Whereas git log command shows the replaced commit message (it also says "replaced")

$ git log

commit 37c00d39b18b49ae5819b798b2b3256b4169223b (HEAD -> master, replaced)
Author: Orhun Parmaksız <[email protected]>
Date:   Sun Sep 1 12:25:43 2024 +0300

    test: best commit

Additional context

Please see orhun/git-cliff#826

Presumably an extra lookup query needs to happen for every object used to get the replacements (if any).

It seems like the upstream libgit2 does not yet support it: libgit2/libgit2#1730

Thanks! Yea, closing as this looks like an upstream issue.
