Since commit 9441b61dc5, two issues affected correct behavior of
index-pack:
1) The real_type of a delta object is the 'real_type' of its base, not
the 'type' which can be a "delta type". Consequence of this is a
corrupted pack index file which only needs to be recreated with a
good index-pack command ('git verify-pack' will flag those).
2) The code sequence:
result->data = patch_delta(get_base_data(base), base->obj->size,
delta_data, delta_size, &result->size);
has two issues of its own since base->obj->size should instead be
base->size as we want the size of the actual object data and not
the size of the delta object it is represented by. Except that
simply replacing base->obj->size with base->size won't make the
code more correct as the C language doesn't enforce a particular
ordering for the evaluation of needed arguments for a function call,
hence base->size could be pushed on the stack before get_base_data()
which initializes base->size is called.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks 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. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. 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. 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 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
