This series lets you query the delta base for a particular object (or
set of objects), like:
$ git rev-list --objects --all |
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname) %(deltabase) %(rest)'
The only other way I know of to get this information is using
verify-pack (or index-pack), which is much slower (and less convenient
to parse).
I needed this recently to write tests for another (not yet published)
series. But I think it stands on its own as a debugging / introspection
tool.
[1/2]: sha1_object_info_extended: provide delta base sha1s
[2/2]: cat-file: provide %(deltabase) batch format
