pack-objects: fix off-by-one in delta-island tree-depth computation When delta-islands are in use, we need to record the deepest path at which we find each tree and blob. Our loop to do so counts slashes, so "foo" is depth 0, "foo/bar" is depth 1, and so on. However, this neglects root trees, which are represented by the empty string. Those also have depth 0, but are at a layer above "foo". Thus, "foo" should be 1, "foo/bar" at 2, and so on. We use this depth to topo-sort the trees in resolve_tree_islands(). As a result, we may fail to visit a root tree before the sub-trees it contains, and therefore not correctly pass down the island marks. That in turn could lead to missing some delta opportunities (objects are in the same island, but we didn't realize it) or creating unwanted cross-island deltas (one object is in an island another isn't, but we don't realize). In practice, it seems to have only a small effect. Some experiments on the real-world git/git fork network at GitHub showed an improvement of only 0.14% in the resulting clone size.

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-.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://public-inbox.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):
