I actually was quite surprised that this struct is defined in
object-store.h and not here. It feels the other way around.
The raw_object_store needs to know that such an in-core structure
might exist as an optional feature in an object store, but as an
optional feature, I suspect that it has a pointer to an instance of
multi_pack_index, instead of embedding the struct itself in it, so I
would have expected to see an "I am only telling you that there is a
struct with this name, but I am leaving it opaque as you do not have
any business looking inside the struct yourself. You only need to
be aware of the type's existence and a pointer to it so that you can
call helpers that know what's inside and that should be sufficient
for your needs." decl like this in object-store.h and instead an
actual implementation in here.
I thought it natural to include the struct definition next to the
definition for 'struct packed_git', but I like your separation of
concerns. Perhaps we could move the packed_git definition to packfile.h
as well (separately). Of course, that sounds like an unnecessary churn.
Thanks,
