pack-objects: prepare `write_reused_pack()` for multi-pack reuse
The function `write_reused_pack()` within `builtin/pack-objects.c` is
responsible for performing pack-reuse on a single pack, and has two main
functions:
- it dispatches a call to `write_reused_pack_verbatim()` to see if we
can reuse portions of the packfile in whole-word chunks
- for any remaining objects (that is, any objects that appear after
the first "gap" in the bitmap), call write_reused_pack_one() on that
object to record it for reuse.
Prepare this function for multi-pack reuse by removing the assumption
that the bit position corresponding to the first object being reused
from a given pack must be at bit position zero.
The changes in this function are mostly straightforward. Initialize `i`
to the position of the first word to contain bits corresponding to that
reuse pack. In most situations, we throw the initialized value away,
since we end up replacing it with the return value from
write_reused_pack_verbatim(), moving us past the section of whole words
that we reused.
Likewise, modify the per-object loop to ignore any bits at the beginning
of the first word that do not belong to the pack currently being reused,
as well as skip to the "done" section once we have processed the last
bit corresponding to this pack.

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-<commandname>.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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.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):
