builtin/pack-objects.c: ensure included `--stdin-packs` exist
A subsequent patch will teach `want_object_in_pack()` to set its
`*found_pack` and `*found_offset` poitners to NULL when the provided
pack does not pass the `is_pack_valid()` check.
The `--stdin-packs` mode of `pack-objects` is not quite prepared to
handle this. To prepare it for this change, do the following two things:
- Ensure provided packs pass the `is_pack_valid()` check when
collecting the caller-provided packs into the "included" and
"excluded" lists.
- Gracefully handle any _invalid_ packs being passed to
`want_object_in_pack()`.
Calling `is_pack_valid()` early on makes it substantially less likely
that we will have to deal with a pack going away, since we'll have an
open file descriptor on its contents much earlier.
But even packs with open descriptors can become invalid in the future if
we (a) hit our open descriptor limit, forcing us to close some open
packs, and (b) one of those just-closed packs has gone away in the
meantime.
`add_object_entry_from_pack()` depends on having a non-NULL
`*found_pack`, since it passes that pointer to `packed_object_info()`,
meaning that we would SEGV if the pointer became NULL (like we propose
to do in `want_object_in_pack()` in the following patch).
But avoiding calling `packed_object_info()` entirely is OK, too, since
its only purpose is to identify which objects in the included packs are
commits, so that they can form the tips of the advisory traversal used
to discover the object namehashes.
Failing to do this means that at worst we will produce lower-quality
deltas, but it does not prevent us from generating the pack as long as
we can find a copy of each object from the disappearing pack in some
other part of the repository.

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). 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://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):
