Jeff already gave you some pointers. This is just a side note. I think it's easier to run the code under a debugger and see what it does than just reading it. You can create a repo with just one blob to have better control over it (small packs also make it possible to examine with a hex editor in parallel), e.g. git init foo cd foo echo hello >file git add file git repack -ad gdb --args git show :./file then put a breakpoint in some interesting functions (perhaps one of those Jeff pointed out) -- Duy
