# Support routines for hand-crafting weird or malicious packs.
#
# You can make a complete pack like:
#
#   pack_header 2 >foo.pack &&
#   pack_obj e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 >>foo.pack &&
#   pack_obj e68fe8129b546b101aee9510c5328e7f21ca1d18 >>foo.pack &&
#   pack_trailer foo.pack

# Print the big-endian 4-byte octal representation of $1
uint32_octal () {
	n=$1
	printf '\\%o' $(($n / 16777216)); n=$((n % 16777216))
	printf '\\%o' $(($n /    65536)); n=$((n %    65536))
	printf '\\%o' $(($n /      256)); n=$((n %      256))
	printf '\\%o' $(($n           ));
}

# Print the big-endian 4-byte binary representation of $1

}

# Print the pack data for object $1, as a delta against object $2 (or as a full
# object if $2 is missing or empty). The output is suitable for including
# directly in the packfile, and represents the entirety of the object entry.
# Doing this on the fly (especially picking your deltas) is quite tricky, so we
# have hardcoded some well-known objects. See the case statements below for the
