      • OBJ_OFS_DELTA

        public static final int OBJ_OFS_DELTA
        In-pack object type: offset delta

        Objects stored with this type actually have a different type which must be obtained from their delta base object. Delta objects store only the changes needed to apply to the base object in order to recover the original object.

        An offset delta uses a negative offset from the start of this object to refer to its delta base. The base object must exist in this packfile (even in the case of a thin pack).

        This constant is fixed and is defined by the Git packfile format.

        See Also:
        Constant Field Values
      • OBJ_REF_DELTA

        public static final int OBJ_REF_DELTA
        In-pack object type: reference delta

        Objects stored with this type actually have a different type which must be obtained from their delta base object. Delta objects store only the changes needed to apply to the base object in order to recover the original object.

        A reference delta uses a full object id (hash) to reference the delta base. The base object is allowed to be omitted from the packfile, but only in the case of a thin pack being transferred over the network.

        This constant is fixed and is defined by the Git packfile format.

        See Also:
        Constant Field Values
      • PACK_SIGNATURE

        public static final byte[] PACK_SIGNATURE
