Taylor Blau 4263f9279e list-objects: drop --unpacked non-commit objects from results 
In git-rev-list(1), we describe the `--unpacked` option as:

    Only useful with `--objects`; print the object IDs that are not in
    packs.

This is true of commits, which we discard via get_commit_action(), but
not of the objects they reach. So if we ask for an --objects traversal
with --unpacked, we may get arbitrarily many objects which are indeed
packed.

I am nearly certain this behavior dates back to the introduction of
`--unpacked` via 12d2a18780 ("git rev-list --unpacked" shows only
unpacked commits, 2005-07-03), but I couldn't get that revision of Git
to compile for me. At least as early as v2.0.0 this has been subtly
broken:

    $ git.compile --version
    git version 2.0.0

    $ git.compile rev-list --objects --all --unpacked
    72791fe96c93f9ec5c311b8bc966ab349b3b5bbe

    3e6b46e1b7e3b91acce99f6a823104c28aae0b58 unpacked.t

There, only the first, third, and sixth entries are loose, with the
remaining set of objects belonging to at least one pack.

The implications for this are relatively benign: bare 'git repack'
invocations which invoke pack-objects with --unpacked are impacted, and
at worst we'll store a few extra objects that should have been excluded.

Arguably changing this behavior is a backwards-incompatible change,
since it alters the set of objects emitted from rev-list queries with
`--objects` and `--unpacked`. But I argue that this change is still
sensible, since the existing implementation deviates from
clearly-written documentation.

The fix here is straightforward: avoid showing any non-commit objects
which are contained in packs by discarding them within list-objects.c,
before they are shown to the user. Note that similar treatment for
`list-objects.c::show_commit()` is not needed, since that case is
already handled by `revision.c::get_commit_action()`.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
