Taylor Blau 9ad29df36d repack: mark non-MIDX packs above the split as excluded-open
In 5ee86c273b (repack: exclude cruft pack(s) from the MIDX where
possible, 2025-06-23), geometric repacking learned to exclude cruft
packs from the MIDX when 'repack.midxMustContainCruft' is set to
'false'.

This works because packs generated with '--stdin-packs=follow' rescue
any once-unreachable objects that later become reachable, making the
resulting packs closed under reachability without needing the cruft pack
in the MIDX.

However, packs above the geometric split that were not part of the
previous MIDX may not have full object closure.  When such packs are
marked as excluded-closed ('^'), pack-objects treats them as a
reachability boundary and does not traverse through them during the
follow pass, potentially leaving the resulting pack without full
closure.

Fix this by marking packs above the geometric split that were not in the
previous MIDX as excluded-open ('!') instead of excluded-closed ('^').
This causes pack-objects to walk through their commits during the follow
pass, rescuing any reachable objects not present in the closed-excluded
packs.

Note that MIDXs which were generated prior to this change and are
unlucky enough to not be closed under reachability may still exhibit
this bug, as we treat all MIDX'd packs as closed. That is true in an
overwhelming number of cases, since in order to have a non-closed MIDX
you would have to:

 - Generate a pack via an earlier geometric repack that is not closed
   under reachability.

 - Store that pack in the MIDX.

 - Avoid picking any commits to receive reachability bitmaps which
   happen to reach objects from which the missing objects are reachable.

In the extremely rare chance that all of the above should happen, an
all-into-one repack will resolve the issue.

Unfortunately, there is no perfect way to determine whether a MIDX'd
pack is closed outside of ensuring that there is a '1' bit in at least
one bitmap for every bit position corresponding to objects in that pack.
While this is possible to do, this approach would treat MIDX'd packs as
open in cases where there is at least one object that is not reachable
from the subset of commits selected for bitmapping.

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.adoc to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc 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.adoc (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 to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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
