+# This mirrors a repeated push setup:
+#
+# 1. A client repeatedly modifies some files, makes a
+# commit, and pushes the result. It does this N times
+# before we get around to repacking.
+#
+# 2. Each push generates a thin pack with the new version of
+# various objects. Let's consider some file in the root tree
+# which is updated in each commit.
+#
+# When generating push number X, we feed commit X-1 (and
+# thus blob X-1) as a preferred base. The resulting pack has
+# blob X as a thin delta against blob X-1.
+#
+# On the receiving end, "index-pack --fix-thin" will
+# complete the pack with a base copy of blob X-1.
+#
+# 3. In older versions of git, if we used the delta from
+# pack X, then we'd always find blob X-1 as a base in the
+# same pack (and generate a fresh delta).
+#
+# But with the pack mru, we jump from delta to delta
+# following the traversal order:
+#
+# a. We grab blob X from pack X as a delta, putting it at
+# the tip of our mru list.
+#
+# b. Eventually we move onto commit X-1. We need other
+# objects which are only in pack X-1 (in the test code
+# below, it's the containing tree). That puts pack X-1
+# at the tip of our mru list.
+#
+# c. Eventually we look for blob X-1, and we find the
+# version in pack X-1 (because it's the mru tip).
+#
+# Now we have blob X as a delta against X-1, which is a delta
+# against X-2, and so forth.
+#
+# In the real world, these small pushes would get exploded by
+# unpack-objects rather than "index-pack --fix-thin", but the
+# same principle applies to larger pushes (they only need one
+# repeatedly-modified file to generate the delta chain).
