We declare the --object-dir option like:
OPT_CALLBACK(0, "object-dir", &opts.object_dir, ...);
but the pointer to opts.object_dir is completely unused. Instead, the
callback writes directly to a global. Which fortunately happens to be
opts.object_dir. So everything works as expected, but it's unnecessarily
confusing.
Instead, let's have the callback write to the option value pointer that
has been passed in. This also quiets a -Wunused-parameter warning (since
we don't otherwise look at "opt").

Recent commits such as bf0a6b65fc (builtin/multi-pack-index.c: let
parse-options parse subcommands, 2022-08-19) converted a few functions
to match our usual argc/argv/prefix conventions, but the prefix argument
remains unused.
However, there is a good use for it: they should pass it to their own
parse_options() functions, where it may be used to adjust the value of
any filename options. In all but one of these functions, there's no
behavior change, since they don't use OPT_FILENAME. But this is an
actual fix for one option, which you can see by modifying the test suite
like so:
diff --git a/t/t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh b/t/t5326-multi-pack-bitmaps.sh

I'd emphasize that this wasn't broken by bf0a6b65fc; it has been broken
all along, because the sub-function never got to see the prefix. It is
that commit which is actually enabling us to fix it (and which also
brought attention to the problem because it triggers -Wunused-parameter!)
The other functions changed here don't use OPT_FILENAME at all. In their
cases this isn't fixing anything visible, but it's following the usual
pattern and future-proofing them against somebody adding new options and
being surprised.
I didn't include a test for the one visible case above. We don't
generally test routine parse-options behavior for individual options.
The challenge here was finding the problem, and now that this has been
done, it's not likely to regress. Likewise, we could apply the patch
above to cover it "for free" but it makes reading the rest of the test

Although parse_options() can handle unknown --options just fine, none

own: they invoke parse_options() with the PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN flag,
then check whether there are any unparsed arguments left, and print
usage and quit if necessary.
Drop that PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN flag to let parse_options() handle
unknown options instead, which has the additional benefit that it
prints not only the usage but an "error: unknown option `foo'" message
as well.

The --object-dir argument to 'git multi-pack-index' allows a user to
specify an alternate to use instead of the local $GITDIR. This is used
by third-party tools like VFS for Git to maintain the pack-files in a
"shared object cache" used by multiple clones.
On Windows, the user can specify a path using a Windows-style file path
with backslashes such as "C:\Path\To\ObjectDir". This same path style is
used in the .git/objects/info/alternates file, so it already matches the
path of that alternate. However, find_odb() converts these paths to
real-paths for the comparison, which use forward slashes. As of the
previous change, lookup_multi_pack_index() uses real-paths, so it
correctly finds the target multi-pack-index when given these paths.
Some commands such as 'git multi-pack-index repack' call child processes
using the object_dir value, so it can be helpful to convert the path to
the real-path before sending it to those locations.
Add a callback to convert the real path immediately upon parsing the
argument. We need to be careful that we don't store the exact value out
of get_object_directory() and free it, or we could corrupt a later use
of the_repository->objects->odb->path.
We don't use get_object_directory() for the initial instantiation in
cmd_multi_pack_index() because we need 'git multi-pack-index -h' to work
without a Git repository.

Because this operation allocates a new array, we have to be careful to

To figure out which commits we can write a bitmap for, the multi-pack
index/bitmap code does a reachability traversal, marking any commit
which can be found in the MIDX as eligible to receive a bitmap.
This approach will cause a problem when multi-pack bitmaps are able to
be generated from `git repack`, since the reference tips can change
during the repack. Even though we ignore commits that don't exist in
the MIDX (when doing a scan of the ref tips), it's possible that a
commit in the MIDX reaches something that isn't.
This can happen when a multi-pack index contains some pack which refers
to loose objects (e.g., if a pack was pushed after starting the repack
but before generating the MIDX which depends on an object which is
stored as loose in the repository, and by definition isn't included in
the multi-pack index).
By taking a snapshot of the references before we start repacking, we can
close that race window. In the above scenario (where we have a packed
object pointing at a loose one), we'll either (a) take a snapshot of the
references before seeing the packed one, or (b) take it after, at which
point we can guarantee that the loose object will be packed and included
in the MIDX.
This patch does just that. It writes a temporary "reference snapshot",
which is a list of OIDs that are at the ref tips before writing a
multi-pack bitmap. References that are "preferred" (i.e,. are a suffix
of at least one value of the 'pack.preferBitmapTips' configuration) are
marked with a special '+'.
The format is simple: one line per commit at each tip, with an optional
'+' at the beginning (for preferred references, as described above).
When provided, the reference snapshot is used to drive bitmap selection
instead of the MIDX code doing its own traversal. When it isn't
provided, the usual traversal takes place instead.

To power a new `--write-midx` mode, `git repack` will want to write a
multi-pack index containing a certain set of packs in the repository.
This new option will be used by `git repack` to write a MIDX which
contains only the packs which will survive after the repack (that is, it
will exclude any packs which are about to be deleted).
This patch effectively exposes the function implemented in the previous
commit via the `git multi-pack-index` builtin. An alternative approach
would have been to call that function from the `git repack` builtin
directly, but this introduces awkward problems around closing and
reopening the object store, so the MIDX will be written out-of-process.

In the previous commit, the bitmap writing code learned to propagate
values from an existing hash-cache extension into the bitmap that it is
writing.
Now that that functionality exists, let's expose it by teaching the 'git
multi-pack-index' builtin to respect the `pack.writeBitmapHashCache`
option so that the hash-cache may be written at all.
Two minor points worth noting here:
- The 'git multi-pack-index write' sub-command didn't previously read
any configuration (instead this is handled in the base command). A
separate handler is added here to respect this write-specific
config option.
- I briefly considered adding a 'bitmap_flags' field to the static
options struct, but decided against it since it would require
plumbing through a new parameter to the write_midx_file() function.
Instead, a new MIDX-specific flag is added, which is translated to
the corresponding bitmap one.

Since cd57bc41bb (builtin/multi-pack-index.c: display usage on

having two separate callers of usage_with_options (one when no arguments

But the first caller has been broken since cd57bc41bb, since it will
happily jump to usage without arguments, and then pass argv[0] to the
"unrecognized subcommand" error.
Many compilers will save us from a segfault here, but the end result is
ugly, since it mentions an unrecognized subcommand when we didn't even
pass one, and (on GCC) includes "(null)" in its output.

subcommands so that it is only triggered when it should be. While we're

When multiple packs in the multi-pack index contain the same object, the
MIDX machinery must make a choice about which pack it associates with
that object. Prior to this patch, the lowest-ordered[1] pack was always
selected.
Pack selection for duplicate objects is relatively unimportant today,
but it will become important for multi-pack bitmaps. This is because we
can only invoke the pack-reuse mechanism when all of the bits for reused
objects come from the reuse pack (in order to ensure that all reused
deltas can find their base objects in the same pack).
To encourage the pack selection process to prefer one pack over another
(the pack to be preferred is the one a caller would like to later use as
a reuse pack), introduce the concept of a "preferred pack". When
provided, the MIDX code will always prefer an object found in a
preferred pack over any other.
No format changes are required to store the preferred pack, since it
will be able to be inferred with a corresponding MIDX bitmap, by looking
up the pack associated with the object in the first bit position (this
ordering is described in detail in a subsequent commit).
[1]: the ordering is specified by MIDX internals; for our purposes we
can consider the "lowest ordered" pack to be "the one with the
most-recent mtime.

Handle sub-commands of the 'git multi-pack-index' builtin (e.g.,
"write", "repack", etc.) separately from one another. This allows
sub-commands with unique options, without forcing cmd_multi_pack_index()
to reject invalid combinations itself.
This comes at the cost of some duplication and boilerplate. Luckily, the
duplication is reduced to a minimum, since common options are shared
among sub-commands due to a suggestion by Ævar. (Sub-commands do have to
retain the common options, too, since this builtin accepts common
options on either side of the sub-command).
Roughly speaking, cmd_multi_pack_index() parses options (including
common ones), and stops at the first non-option, which is the
sub-command. It then dispatches to the appropriate sub-command, which
parses the remaining options (also including common options).
Unknown options are kept by the sub-commands in order to detect their

In an environment where the multi-pack-index is useful, it is due
to many pack-files and an inability to repack the object store
into a single pack-file. However, it is likely that many of these
pack-files are rather small, and could be repacked into a slightly
larger pack-file without too much effort. It may also be important
to ensure the object store is highly available and the repack
operation does not interrupt concurrent git commands.
Introduce a 'repack' subcommand to 'git multi-pack-index' that
takes a '--batch-size' option. The subcommand will inspect the
multi-pack-index for referenced pack-files whose size is smaller
than the batch size, until collecting a list of pack-files whose
sizes sum to larger than the batch size. Then, a new pack-file
will be created containing the objects from those pack-files that
are referenced by the multi-pack-index. The resulting pack is
likely to actually be smaller than the batch size due to
compression and the fact that there may be objects in the pack-
files that have duplicate copies in other pack-files.
The current change introduces the command-line arguments, and we
add a test that ensures we parse these options properly. Since
we specify a small batch size, we will guarantee that future
implementations do not change the list of pack-files.
In addition, we hard-code the modified times of the packs in
the pack directory to ensure the list of packs sorted by modified
time matches the order if sorted by size (ascending). This will
be important in a future test.

about the specifics will follow as the method is implemented.
Add a test that verifies the 'expire' subcommand is correctly wired,
but will still be valid when the verb is implemented. Specifically,

The multi-pack-index builtin writes multi-pack-index files, and
uses a 'write' verb to do so. Add a 'verify' verb that checks this
file matches the contents of the pack-indexes it replaces.
The current implementation is a no-op, but will be extended in
small increments in later commits.

The multi-pack-index builtin has a very simple command-line
interface. Instead of simply reporting usage, give the user a
hint to why the arguments failed.

In anticipation of writing multi-pack-indexes, add a skeleton
'git multi-pack-index write' subcommand and send the options to a
write_midx_file() method. Also create a skeleton test script that
tests the 'write' subcommand.

This new 'git multi-pack-index' builtin will be the plumbing access
for writing, reading, and checking multi-pack-index files. The
initial implementation is a no-op.
