When performing revision queries with `--objects` and `--use-bitmap-index`, the output may incorrectly contain objects which are packed, even when the `--unpacked` option is given. This affects traversals, but also other querying operations, like `--count`, `--disk-usage`, etc. Like in the previous commit, the fix is to exclude those objects from the result set before they are shown to the user (or, in this case, before the bitmap containing the result of the traversal is enumerated and its objects listed). This is performed by a new function in pack-bitmap.c, called `filter_packed_objects_from_bitmap()`. Note that we do not have to inspect individual bits in the result bitmap, since we know that the first N (where N is the number of objects in the bitmap's pack/MIDX) bits correspond to objects which packed by definition. In other words, for an object to have a bitmap position (not in the extended index), it must appear in either the bitmap's pack or one of the packs in its MIDX. This presents an appealing optimization to us, which is that we can simply memset() the corresponding number of `eword_t`'s to zero, provided that we handle any objects which spill into the next word (but don't occupy all 64 bits of the word itself). We only have to handle objects in the bitmap's extended index. These objects may (or may not) appear in one or more pack(s). Since these objects are known to not appear in either the bitmap's MIDX or pack, they may be stored as loose, appear in other pack(s), or both. Before returning a bitmap containing the result of the traversal back to the caller, drop any bits from the extended index which appear in one or more packs. This implements the correct behavior for rev-list operations which use the bitmap index to compute their result.

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 with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://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
