When opening a bitmap for a repository we perform two steps:
- We first look for a multi-pack index bitmap in any of the object
sources connected to the repository.
- We then look for a packfile bitmap in any of the packfiles of any of
the object sources.
Both of these steps thus iterate through object sources themselves, one
via `odb_prepare_alternates()` and one via `repo_for_each_pack()`. This
layout makes it hard to introduce a way to open the bitmap of one
specific object source, which is functionality that we'll require in a
subsequent commit.
Reverse the loop so that we instead loop through all sources in the
outer loop, and then for each source we try to load its bitmap via
either the multi-pack index or via a packfile.
Note that this changes the precedence of bitmaps in one specific edge
case: when an earlier object source only has a packfile bitmap, but a
later source has a multi-pack index bitmap, we now pick the packfile
bitmap of the earlier source. Previously, a multi-pack index bitmap from
any source would have taken precedence over all packfile bitmaps. Given
that object sources are ordered such that the local source comes first,
this arguably is an improvement, as we now prefer local bitmaps over
bitmaps in alternates. Furthermore, we already warn about repositories
that have multiple bitmaps, so this setup is broken and thus arguably
not worth worrying about too much.

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.adoc to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc 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.adoc
(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
