In write_commit_graph_file() one block of code fills the array of chunk IDs, another block of code fills the array of chunk offsets, then the chunk IDs and offsets are written to the Chunk Lookup table, and finally a third block of code writes the actual chunks. In case of optional chunks like Extra Edge List and Base Graphs List there is also a condition checking whether that chunk is necessary/desired, and that same condition is repeated in all those three blocks of code. This patch series is about to add more optional chunks, so there would be even more repeated conditions. Those chunk offsets are relative to the beginning of the file, so they inherently depend on the size of the Chunk Lookup table, which in turn depends on the number of chunks that are to be written to the commit-graph file. IOW at the time we set the first chunk's ID we can't yet know its offset, because we don't yet know how many chunks there are. Simplify this by initially filling an array of chunk sizes, not offsets, and calculate the offsets based on the chunk sizes only later, while we are writing the Chunk Lookup table. This way we can fill the arrays of chunk IDs and sizes in one go, eliminating one set of repeated conditions.

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). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. 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
