+ *  - fanout_nbo: a 256-element array of NETWORK-order 32-bit integers; the
+ *    integer at position i represents the number of elements in table whose

+ *  - table: a sorted list of hashes with optional extra information in between
+ *  - stride: distance between two consecutive elements in table (should be
+ *    GIT_MAX_RAWSZ or greater)
+ *  - result: if not NULL, this function stores the element index of the
+ *    position found (if the search is successful) or the index of the least
+ *    element that is greater than hash (if the search is not successful)
+ *
+ * This function does not verify the validity of the fanout table.
