Taylor Blau fd2739b159 pack-bitmap: handle duplicate pack entries during MIDX reuse
A MIDX pseudo-pack assigns one bit position to each selected OID. Its
preferred-pack fast paths handle duplicate OIDs across packs in the
MIDX, where the MIDX chooses one copy, but assume that each individual
pack contains one entry per OID.

Consider a preferred pack ordered [A, B, A, C]. The MIDX retains one
copy of A, leaving three pseudo-pack positions for four physical
entries. This creates two problems:

 - In MIDX-backed single-pack reuse, bitmap_nr came from
   pack->num_objects and therefore counted both copies of A. Read the
   selected count from the root MIDX layer BTMP chunk instead. If that
   layer has no BTMP chunk, skip pack reuse and let the ordinary packing
   path handle the bitmap-selected objects. MIDXs without BTMP lose
   preferred-pack reuse until rewritten, rather than requiring a scan of
   the entire pseudo-pack to retain an optional optimization.

 - Correcting the range length still does not align the two orderings.
   Once one copy of A is omitted, MIDX position N need not name physical
   pack entry N.

That mismatch matters during both selection and output. Whole-word
selection bypasses the per-object check that the exact physical base of
a delta is present. Verbatim reuse copies the first N pack entries for
the first N bits. The per-object writer likewise used each bit as a
physical pack position.

Use the direct mapping only when the range begins at zero and its
selected count equals the physical entry count. Since selected entries
remain in pack-offset order, equal counts mean that none was omitted and
the two positions coincide.

For every other MIDX range, let whole-word selection fall through to
the existing per-bit path, which resolves the selected MIDX offset to a
physical pack position before checking the delta base. Disable verbatim
prefix reuse, and perform the same translation in the per-object writer.

Leave classic single-pack bitmap handling unchanged. The production
writer creates those bitmaps only for the pack it just wrote, which has
one entry per OID. The test helper can target an existing pack, but
rejects duplicate OIDs.

Cover the A, B, A, C case in a MIDX-backed preferred pack. Check reuse
with BTMP, then hide BTMP and check that the optional reuse path is
skipped. Also make B a delta against the omitted copy of A and require
normal packing to handle it.

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
