[PATCH 11/16] packfile: always add packfiles to MRU when adding a pack

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Aug 19, 2025, 08:19 UTC
Message-ID
<20250819-b4-pks-packfiles-store-v1-11-1660842e125a@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20250819-b4-pks-packfiles-store-v1-0-1660842e125a@pks.im>

When adding a packfile to it store we add it both to the list and map of packfiles, but we don't append it to the most-recently-used list of packs. We do know to add the packfile to the MRU list as soon as we access any of its objects, but in between we're being inconistent. It doesn't help that there are some subsystems that _do_ add the packfile to the MRU after having added it, which only adds to the confusion.

Refactor the code so that we unconditionally add packfiles to the MRU when adding them to a packfile store.
