pack-objects: turn type and in_pack_type to bitfields
An extra field type_valid is added to carry the equivalent of OBJ_BAD
in the original "type" field. in_pack_type always contains a valid
type so we only need 3 bits for it.
A note about accepting OBJ_NONE as "valid" type. The function
read_object_list_from_stdin() can pass this value [1] and it
eventually calls create_object_entry() where current code skip setting
"type" field if the incoming type is zero. This does not have any bad
side effects because "type" field should be memset()'d anyway.
But since we also need to set type_valid now, skipping oe_set_type()
leaves type_valid zero/false, which will make oe_type() return
OBJ_BAD, not OBJ_NONE anymore. Apparently we do care about OBJ_NONE in
prepare_pack(). This switch from OBJ_NONE to OBJ_BAD may trigger
fatal: unable to get type of object ...
Accepting OBJ_NONE [2] does sound wrong, but this is how it is has
been for a very long time and I haven't time to dig in further.

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.
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):
