When a MIDX contains the new `RIDX` chunk, ensure that the reverse index is read from it instead of the on-disk .rev file. Since we need to encode the object order in the MIDX itself for correctness reasons, there is no point in storing the same data again outside of the MIDX. So, this patch stops writing separate .rev files, and reads it out of the MIDX itself. This is possible to do with relatively little new code, since the format of the RIDX chunk is identical to the data in the .rev file. In other words, we can implement this by pointing the `revindex_data` field at the reverse index chunk of the MIDX instead of the .rev file without any other changes. Note that we have two knobs that are adjusted for the new tests: GIT_TEST_MIDX_WRITE_REV and GIT_TEST_MIDX_READ_RIDX. The former controls whether the MIDX .rev is written at all, and the latter controls whether we read the MIDX's RIDX chunk. Both are necessary to ensure that the test added at the beginning of this series continues to work. This is because we always need to write the RIDX chunk in the MIDX in order to change its checksum, but we want to make sure reading the existing .rev file still works (since the RIDX chunk takes precedence by default). Arguably this isn't a very interesting mode to test, because the precedence rules mean that we'll always read the RIDX chunk over the .rev file. But it makes it impossible for a user to induce corruption in their repository by adjusting the test knobs (since if we had an either/or knob they could stop writing the RIDX chunk, allowing them to tweak the MIDX's object order without changing its checksum).

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
