When we have a multi-pack-index that covers many packfiles, we try to avoid opening the .idx for those packfiles. To do that we feed the pack name to midx_contains_pack(). But that function wants to see only the basename, which we compute using strrchr() to find the final slash. But that leaves an extra "/" at the start of our string. We can fix this by incrementing the pointer. That also raises the question of what to do when the name does not have a '/' at all. This should generally not happen (we always find files in "pack/"), but it doesn't hurt to be defensive here. Let's wrap all of that up in a helper function and make it publicly available, since a later patch will need to use it, too. The tests don't notice because there's nothing about opening those .idx files that would cause us to give incorrect output. It's just a little slower. The new test checks this case by corrupting the covered .idx, and then making sure we don't complain about it. We also have to tweak t5570, which intentionally corrupts a .idx file and expects us to notice it. When run with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX, this will fail since we now will (correctly) not bother opening the .idx at all. We can fix that by unconditionally dropping any midx that's there, which ensures we'll have to read the .idx.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
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):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
