Revision Generation Question

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how the internal revision generation works. Could
somebody shed some light on how this happens in the code?

I've stepped through the code, however, I still don't really understand how
the revision history gets generated. 

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated :)

In short, there are four kinds of objects that Git uses internally:
commit, blob, tree and tag. It can compress objects into a packfile
for minimizing storage space. I recommend chapter 9 of the Pro Git
book for more [1].
