multi-pack-index: use hash version byte Similar to the commit-graph format, the multi-pack-index format has a byte in the header intended to track the hash version used to write the file. This allows one to interpret the hash length without having the context of the repository config specifying the hash length. This was not modified as part of the SHA-256 work because the hash length was automatically up-shifted due to that config. Since we have this byte available, we can make the file formats more obviously incompatible instead of relying on other context from the repository. Add a new oid_version() method in midx.c similar to the one in commit-graph.c. This is specifically made separate from that implementation to avoid artificially linking the formats. The test impact requires a few more things than the corresponding change in the commit-graph format. Specifically, 'test-tool read-midx' was not writing anything about this header value to output. Since the value available in 'struct multi_pack_index' is hash_len instead of a version value, we output "20" or "32" instead of "1" or "2". Since we want a user to not have their Git commands fail if their multi-pack-index has the incorrect hash version compared to the repository's hash version, we relax the die() to an error() in load_multi_pack_index(). This has some effect on 'git multi-pack-index verify' as we need to check that a failed parse of a file that exists is actually a verify error. For that test that checks the hash version matches, we change the corrupted byte from "2" to "3" to ensure the test fails for both hash algorithms.

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):
