The rev_info that is specified for a path-walk traversal may specify visiting tag refs (both lightweight and annotated) and also may specify indexed objects (blobs and trees). Update the path-walk API to walk these objects as well. When walking tags, we need to peel the annotated objects until reaching a non-tag object. If we reach a commit, then we can add it to the pending objects to make sure we visit in the commit walk portion. If we reach a tree, then we will assume that it is a root tree. If we reach a blob, then we have no good path name and so add it to a new list of "tagged blobs". When the rev_info includes the "--indexed-objects" flag, then the pending set includes blobs and trees found in the cache entries and cache-tree. The cache entries are usually blobs, though they could be trees in the case of a sparse index. The cache-tree stores previously-hashed tree objects but these are cleared out when staging objects below those paths. We add tests that demonstrate this. The indexed objects come with a non-NULL 'path' value in the pending item. This allows us to prepopulate the 'path_to_lists' strmap with lists for these paths. The tricky thing about this walk is that we will want to combine the indexed objects walk with the commit walk, especially in the future case of walking objects during a command like 'git repack'. Whenever possible, we want the objects from the index to be grouped with similar objects in history. We don't want to miss any paths that appear only in the index and not in the commit history. Thus, we need to be careful to let the path stack be populated initially with only the root tree path (and possibly tags and tagged blobs) and go through the normal depth-first search. Afterwards, if there are other paths that are remaining in the paths_to_lists strmap, we should then iterate through the stack and visit those objects recursively.

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
