Subject: odb: return newly created in-memory sources
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a59d44ff3f0f308f9577b05c858c063d2466b061;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

odb: return newly created in-memory sources

Callers have no trivial way to obtain the newly created object database
source when adding it to the in-memory list of alternates. While not yet
needed anywhere, a subsequent commit will want to obtain that pointer.

Refactor the function to return the source to make it easily accessible.
