   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).
