"cache entry" -> "cached entry"; we tend to use "cache entry" exclusively to mean an entry in the in-core index structure, and not the cached objects held in the object layer.

OK. This is very straight-forward. It is packed but if we grabbed it from the delta-base-cache, that is the only case we know it is dbcached.

This assignment of NULL is more explicit than the original; is it because the original assumed that *(oi->contentp) is initialized to NULL if oi->contentp asks us to give the contents?

Show 5 quoted lines

Nice. The code structure is still easy to follow, even though the if/else cascade here are organized differently with more cases (used to be "are we peeking the contents, or not?"---now it is "do this if we can grab from the delta base cache, do one of these other things if we have go to the packfile").
