Thanks for the link, although I understand only half of what it is.

Do you know what the file extension inc stands for?

"include"

It's a fairly common extension for a file containing C implementation code (and not just headers) that is intended to be #included by some other file.

You know what, I was trying to find an example for Matt3o12_ where it was #included, but I can't even find the file at the tip of any of the branches. Can a better git archaeologist explain what happened to it? Did it get merged into another file?

Edit:

Here's an example of a .inc file being used

Double Edit:

git log --all -p contrib/amd64/longest-match.inc

It was merged directly into deflate.c
