object_as_type: initialize commit-graph-related fields of 'struct commit' When the commit graph and generation numbers were introduced in commits 177722b344 (commit: integrate commit graph with commit parsing, 2018-04-10) and 83073cc994 (commit: add generation number to struct commit, 2018-04-25), they tried to make sure that the corresponding 'graph_pos' and 'generation' fields of 'struct commit' are initialized conservatively, as if the commit were not included in the commit-graph file. Alas, initializing those fields only in alloc_commit_node() missed the case when an object that happens to be a commit is first looked up via lookup_unknown_object(), and is then later converted to a 'struct commit' via the object_as_type() helper function (either calling it directly, or as part of a subsequent lookup_commit() call). Consequently, both of those fields incorrectly remain set to zero, which means e.g. that the commit is present in and is the first entry of the commit-graph file. This will result in wrong timestamp, parent and root tree hashes, if such a 'struct commit' instance is later filled from the commit-graph. Extract the initialization of 'struct commit's fields from alloc_commit_node() into a helper function, and call it from object_as_type() as well, to make sure that it properly initializes the two commit-graph-related fields, too. With this helper function it is hopefully less likely that any new fields added to 'struct commit' in the future would remain uninitialized. With this change alloc_commit_index() won't have any remaining callers outside of 'alloc.c', so mark it as static.

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):
