Git should never generate packs with duplicate objects.
However, we may see such packs due to bugs in Git or other
implementations (e.g., JGit had such a bug a few years ago).
In theory, such packs should not be a problem for us (we
will simply find one of the instances of the object when
looking in the pack). However, the JGit bug report mentioned
possible infinite loops during repacking due to cycles in
the delta chain. Though this problem hasn't specifically
been reproduced on modern git, there is no reason not to be
careful with incoming packs, given that only buggy
implementations should be producing such packs, anyway.
This patch introduces the pack.indexDuplicates option to
allow or reject such packs from index-pack. The default
remains to allow it.
