pack-object: tolerate broken packs that have duplicated objects
When --reuse-delta is in effect (which is the default), and an existing pack in the repository has the same object registered twice (e.g. one copy in a non-delta format and the other copy in a delta against some other object), an attempt to repack the repository can result in a cyclic delta dependency, causing write_one() function to infinitely recurse into itself. Detect such a case and break the loopy dependency by writing out an object that is involved in such a loop in the non-delta format. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
