   6 # This mirrors a repeated push setup:
   7 #
   8 # 1. A client repeatedly modifies some files, makes a
   9 #      commit, and pushes the result. It does this N times
  10 #      before we get around to repacking.
  11 #
  12 # 2. Each push generates a thin pack with the new version of
  13 #    various objects. Let's consider some file in the root tree
  14 #    which is updated in each commit.
  15 #
  16 #    When generating push number X, we feed commit X-1 (and
  17 #    thus blob X-1) as a preferred base. The resulting pack has
  18 #    blob X as a thin delta against blob X-1.
  19 #
  20 #    On the receiving end, "index-pack --fix-thin" will
  21 #    complete the pack with a base copy of blob X-1.
  22 #
  23 # 3. In older versions of git, if we used the delta from
  24 #    pack X, then we'd always find blob X-1 as a base in the
  25 #    same pack (and generate a fresh delta).
  26 #
  27 #    But with the pack mru, we jump from delta to delta
  28 #    following the traversal order:
  29 #
  30 #      a. We grab blob X from pack X as a delta, putting it at
  31 #         the tip of our mru list.
  32 #
  33 #      b. Eventually we move onto commit X-1. We need other
  34 #         objects which are only in pack X-1 (in the test code
  35 #         below, it's the containing tree). That puts pack X-1
  36 #         at the tip of our mru list.
  37 #
  38 #      c. Eventually we look for blob X-1, and we find the
  39 #         version in pack X-1 (because it's the mru tip).
  40 #
  41 # Now we have blob X as a delta against X-1, which is a delta
  42 # against X-2, and so forth.
  43 #
  44 # In the real world, these small pushes would get exploded by
  45 # unpack-objects rather than "index-pack --fix-thin", but the
  46 # same principle applies to larger pushes (they only need one
  47 # repeatedly-modified file to generate the delta chain).
