The commit-graph file is a supplemental data structure that accelerates
commit graph walks. If a user downgrades or disables the 'core.commitGraph'
-config setting, then the existing ODB is sufficient. The file is stored

as "commit-graph" either in the .git/objects/info directory or in the info
directory of an alternate.
The most "straightforward" implementation would be to spread the set of
to-be-updated cache entries across multiple threads. But due to the
-thread-unsafe functions in the ODB code, we would have to use locks to
+thread-unsafe functions in the object database code, we would have to use locks to
coordinate the parallel operation. An early prototype of this solution
showed that the multi-threaded checkout would bring performance
improvements over the sequential code, but there was still too much lock
