`git rev-list` will list one commit for the following command:
$ git rev-list 'main^!'
<tip-commit-of-main-branch>
But providing the same rev-list args to `git bundle`, fail to create
a bundle file.
$ git bundle create - 'main^!'
# v2 git bundle
-<OID> <one-line-message>
fatal: Refusing to create empty bundle.
This is because when removing duplicate objects in function
`object_array_remove_duplicates()`, one unique pending object which has
the same name is deleted by mistake. The revision arg 'main^!' in the
above example is parsed by `handle_revision_arg()`, and at lease two
different objects will be appended to `revs.pending`, one points to the
parent commit of the "main" branch, and the other points to the tip
commit of the "main" branch. These two objects have the same name
"main". Only one object is left with the name "main" after calling the
function `object_array_remove_duplicates()`.
And what's worse, when adding boundary commits into pending list, we use
one-line commit message as names, and the arbitory names may surprise
git-bundle.
Only comparing objects themselves (".item") is also not good enough,
because user may want to create a bundle with two identical objects but
with different reference names, such as: "HEAD" and "refs/heads/main".
Add new function `contains_object()` which compare both the address and
the name of the object.

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).
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
