Introduce a performance testing framework
This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It
tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible,
and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers.
The following points were considered for the implementation:
1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against
each other. They may not have the performance test under
consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure.
To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary
build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions
if it doesn't have them at hand yet.
2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too
long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run;
or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for
discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for
real-world use.
3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely
time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos
is out of the question.
We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test
repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of
those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries
to use the build tree's git.git repository.
This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone
preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such
as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc.
