Move the code that is only used in builtin/pack-objects.c out of pack-objects.h. This fixes an issue where Solaris's SunCC hasn't been able to compile git since483fa7f42d(t/helper/test-bitmap.c: initial commit, 2021-03-31). The real origin of that issue is that in898eba5e63(pack-objects: refer to delta objects by index instead of pointer, 2018-04-14) utility functions only needed by builtin/pack-objects.c were added to pack-objects.h. Since then the header has been used in a few other places, but483fa7f42dwas the first time it was used by test helper. Since Solaris is stricter about linking and the oe_get_size_slow() function lives in builtin/pack-objects.c the build started failing with: Undefined first referenced symbol in file oe_get_size_slow t/helper/test-bitmap.o ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to t/helper/test-tool On other platforms this is presumably OK because the compiler and/or linker detects that the "static inline" functions that reference oe_get_size_slow() aren't used. Let's solve this by moving the relevant code from pack-objects.h to builtin/pack-objects.c. This is almost entirely a code-only move, but because of the early macro definitions in that file referencing some of these inline functions we need to move the definition of "static struct packing_data to_pack" earlier, and declare these inline functions above the macros.

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-<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):
- 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
