In a similar fashion as previous commits, teach the `fill_midx_entry()`
function to work in a incremental MIDX-aware fashion.
This function, unlike others which accept an index into either the
lexical order of objects or packs, takes in an object_id, and attempts
to fill a caller-provided 'struct pack_entry' with the remaining pieces
of information about that object from the MIDX.
The function uses `bsearch_midx()` which fills out the frame-local 'pos'
variable, recording the given object_id's lexical position within the
MIDX chain, if found (if no matching object ID was found, we'll return
immediately without filling out the `pack_entry` structure).
Once given that position, we jump back through the `->base_midx` pointer
to ensure that our `m` points at the MIDX layer which contains the given
object_id (and not an ancestor or descendant of it in the chain). Note
that we can drop the bounds check "if (pos >= m->num_objects)" because
`midx_for_object()` performs this check for us.
After that point, we only need to make two special considerations within
this function:
- First, the pack_int_id returned to us by `nth_midxed_pack_int_id()`
is a position in the concatenated lexical order of packs, so we must
ensure that we subtract `m->num_packs_in_base` before accessing the
MIDX-local `packs` array.
- Second, we must avoid translating the `pos` back to a MIDX-local
index, since we use it as an argument to `nth_midxed_offset()` which
expects a position relative to the concatenated lexical order of
objects.

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
