use std::marker::PhantomData;

/// SAFETY: This type is used to allow access to a size-optimized vec of items that form a
/// tree, and we need to access it concurrently with each thread taking its own root node,
/// and working its way through all the reachable leaves.
///
/// The tree was built by decoding a pack whose entries refer to its bases only by OFS_DELTA -
/// they are pointing backwards only which assures bases have to be listed first, and that each entry
/// only has a single parent.
///
/// REF_DELTA entries aren't supported here, and cause immediate failure - they are expected to have
/// been resolved before as part of the thin-pack handling.
///
/// If we somehow would allow REF_DELTA entries to point to an in-pack object, then in theory malicious packs could
/// cause all kinds of graphs as they can point anywhere in the pack, but they still can't link an entry to
/// more than one base. And that's what one would really have to do for two threads to encounter the same child.
///
/// Thus I believe it's impossible for this data structure to end up in a place where it violates its assumption.
