When the unpack_data function is given a consume() callback,
it unpacks only 64K of the input at a time, feeding it to
git_inflate along with a 64K output buffer. However,
because we are inflating, there is a good chance that the
output buffer will fill before consuming all of the input.
In this case, we need to loop on git_inflate until we have
fed the whole input buffer, feeding each chunk of output to
the consume buffer.
The current code does not do this, and as a result, will
fail the loop condition and trigger a fatal "serious inflate
inconsistency" error in this case.
While we're rearranging the loop, let's get rid of the
extra last_out pointer. It is meant to point to the
beginning of the buffer that we feed to git_inflate, but in
practice this is always the beginning of our same 64K
buffer, because:
1. At the beginning of the loop, we are feeding the
buffer.
2. At the end of the loop, if we are using a consume()
function, we reset git_inflate's pointer to the
beginning of the buffer. If we are not using a
consume() function, then we do not care about the value
of last_out at all.

"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/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.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).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
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 (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 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.
