The function `nth_midxed_pack_int_id()` takes in a object position in
MIDX lexicographic order and returns an identifier of the pack from
which that object was selected in the MIDX.
Currently, the given object position is an index into the lexicographic
order of objects in a single MIDX. Change this position to instead refer
into the concatenated lexicographic order of all MIDXs in a MIDX chain.
This has two visible effects within the implementation of
`prepare_midx_pack()`:
- First, the given position is now an index into the concatenated
lexicographic order of all MIDXs in the order in which they appear
in the MIDX chain.
- Second the pack ID returned from this function is now also in the
concatenated order of packs among all layers of the MIDX chain in
the same order that they appear in the MIDX chain.
To do this, introduce the first of two general purpose helpers, this one
being `midx_for_object()`. `midx_for_object()` takes a double pointer to
a `struct multi_pack_index` as well as an object `pos` in terms of the
entire MIDX chain[^1].
The function chases down the '->base_midx' field until it finds the MIDX
layer within the chain that contains the given object. It then:
- modifies the double pointer to point to the containing MIDX, instead
of the tip of the chain, and
- returns the MIDX-local position[^2] at which the given object can be
found.
Use this function within `nth_midxed_pack_int_id()` so that the `pos` it
expects is now relative to the entire MIDX chain, and that it returns
the appropriate pack position for that object.
[^1]: As a reminder, this means that the object is identified among the
objects contained in all layers of the incremental MIDX chain, not any
particular layer. For example, consider MIDX chain with two individual
MIDXs, one with 4 objects and another with 3 objects. If the MIDX with
4 objects appears earlier in the chain, then asking for object 6 would
return the second object in the MIDX with 3 objects.
[^2]: Building on the previous example, asking for object 6 in a MIDX
chain with (4, 3) objects, respectively, this would set the double
pointer to point at the MIDX containing three objects, and would
return an index to the second object within that MIDX.

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 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
