The patch to do so should be a trivial one on top of this anyway
(attached).

But I think the real issue is that the original loop is written in an
obscure way. The conversion in f7c22cc (always start looking up objects
in the last used pack first, 2007-05-30) wanted to turn the traversal that
always went from the tip of a linked list to instead first probe the
promising one, and then scan the list from the tip like it used to do,
except that it did not want to probe the one it thought promising again.
So perhaps restructuring the loop by making the logic to probe into a
single pack into a helper function, e.g.
static int find_pack_entry(const unsigned char *sha1, struct pack_entry *e)
{
if (last_found) {
if (find_one(sha1, e, last_found))
return 1;
}
for (p = packed_git; p; p = p->next) {
if (p == last_found || !find_one(sha1, e, p))
continue;
last_found = p;
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
would make the resulting flow far easier to follow, no?
