toChunks package:bytebuild

Variant of reverseCommitsOntoChunks that does not reverse the order of the commits. Since commits are built backwards by consing, this means that the chunks appended to the front will be backwards. Within each chunk, however, the bytes will be in the correct order. Unlike reverseCommitsOntoChunks, this function is not tail recursive.

Cons the chunks from a list of Commits onto an initial Chunks list (this argument is often ChunksNil). This reverses the order of the chunks, which is desirable since builders assemble Commits with the chunks backwards. This performs an in-place shrink and freezes any mutable byte arrays it encounters. Consequently, these must not be reused.
