[PATCH v2 1/8] pack-objects: introduce `stdin_packs_context` struct

From
Taylor Blau <ttaylorr@openai.com>
Date
Oct 1, 2026, 04:11 UTC
Message-ID
<354c29cae732703e75b22fa347cb07d898304f01.1790827875.git.me@ttaylorr.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1790827875.git.me@ttaylorr.com>

`stdin_packs_read_input()` currently receives a pointer to the `rev_info` struct and '--stdin-packs' mode separately as arguments, but the object enumeration callbacks only receive a pointer to the `rev_info` struct.

Wrap the pair in a new `stdin_packs_context` struct so that a future change may reference the '--stdin-packs' mode within the various object enumeration callbacks.
