Instead of having this code duplicated in multiple places, let's have
a common interface for progress display. If someday someone wishes to
display a cheezy progress bar instead then only one file will have to
be changed.
Note: I left merge-recursive.c out since it has a strange notion of
progress as it apparently increase the expected total number as it goes.
Someone with more intimate knowledge of what that is supposed to mean
might look at converting it to the common progress interface.

With large amount of objects, check_object() is really trashing the pack
sliding map and the filesystem cache. It has a completely random access
pattern especially with old objects where delta replay jumps back and
forth all over the pack.
This patch improves things by:
1) sorting objects by their offset in pack before calling check_object()
so the pack access pattern is linear;
2) recording the object type at add_object_entry() time since it is
already known in most cases;
3) recording the pack offset even for preferred_base objects;
4) avoid calling sha1_object_info() if all possible.
This limits pack accesses to the bare minimum and makes them perfectly
linear.
In the process check_object() was made more clear (to me at least).
Note: I thought about walking the sorted_by_offset list backward in
get_object_details() so if a pack happens to be larger than the available
file cache, then the cache would have been populated with useful data from
the beginning of the pack already when find_deltas() is called. Strangely,
testing (on Linux) showed absolutely no performance difference.

It currently aliases delta_size on the principle that reused deltas won't
go through the whole delta matching loop hence delta_size was unused.
This is not true if given delta doesn't find its base in the pack though.
But we need that information even for whole object data reuse.
Well in short the current state looks awful and is prone to bugs. It just
works fine now because try_delta() tests trg_entry->delta before using
trg_entry->delta_size, but that is a bit subtle and I was wondering for a
while why things just worked fine... even if I'm guilty of having
introduced this abomination myself in the first place.
Let's do the sensible thing instead with no ambiguity, which is to have
a separate variable for in_pack_header_size. This might even help future
optimizations.
While at it, let's reorder some struct object_entry members so they all
align well with their own width, regardless of the architecture or the
size of off_t. Some memory saving is to be expected with this alone.

Because we don't have to know the SHA1 h(hence the name) of the pack
up front anymore, let's get rid of yet another global sorted object list
and sort them only in write_index_file(), then compute the object list
SHA1 on the fly.
This has the advantage of saving another chunk of memory, and the sorted
list SHA1 won't be computed needlessly on servers during a fetch.
Of course the cunning plan is also to make write_index_file() much like
the function with the same name in index-pack.c for an eventual easy
sharing.

This capability is practically never useful, and therefore never tested,
because it is fairly unlikely that the requested pack will be already
available. Furthermore it is of little gain over the ability to reuse
existing pack data.
In fact the ability to change delta type on the fly when reusing delta
data is a nice thing that has almost no cost and allows greater backward
compatibility with a client's capabilities than if the client is blindly
sent a whole pack without any discrimination.
And this "feature" is simply in the way of other cleanups.
Let's get rid of it.

Get rid of sort_comparator() as it impose a run time double indirect

Also get rid of create_sorted_list() as it only has one user which would
as well be just fine doing its sorting locally. Eventually the list of
deltifiable objects might be shorter than the whole object list.

Objects that have delta "children" from pack data reuse must consider the
depth of their deepest child when they try to deltify themselves for those
children not to become too deep.
However, in the context of a "thin" pack, the delta children depth was
skipped entirely on the presumption that the pack was always going to be
exploded on the receiving end, hence the delta length wasn't an issue.
Now that we keep received packs as is and reuse pack data when repacking,
those packs do contain delta chains that are longer than expected. Worse,
those delta chain may even grow longer when the pack is further repacked
into another thin pack for a subsequent transmission.
So this patch restores strict delta length even for thin packs, and it
moves check_delta_limit() usage directly in the delta loop where it is
needed. This way the delta_limit can be removed from struct object_entry
as well. Oh and the initial value was wrong too.
The progress_interval() function was moved to a more logical location in
the process.

Before finding best delta combinations, we sort objects by name hash,
then by size, then by their position in memory. Then we walk the list
backwards to test delta candidates.
We hope that a bigger size usually means a newer objects. But a bigger
address in memory does not mean a newer object. So the last comparison
must be reversed.

Pack index version 2 goes as follows:
- 8 bytes of header with signature and version.
- 256 entries of 4-byte first-level fan-out table.
- Table of sorted 20-byte SHA1 records for each object in pack.
- Table of 4-byte CRC32 entries for raw pack object data.
- Table of 4-byte offset entries for objects in the pack if offset is
representable with 31 bits or less, otherwise it is an index in the next
table with top bit set.
- Table of 8-byte offset entries indexed from previous table for offsets
which are 32 bits or more (optional).
- 20-byte SHA1 checksum of sorted object names.
- 20-byte SHA1 checksum of the above.
The object SHA1 table is all contiguous so future pack format that would
contain this table directly won't require big changes to the code. It is
also tighter for slightly better cache locality when looking up entries.
Support for large packs exceeding 31 bits in size won't impose an index
size bloat for packs within that range that don't need a 64-bit offset.
And because newer objects which are likely to be the most frequently used
are located at the beginning of the pack, they won't pay the 64-bit offset
lookup at run time either even if the pack is large.
Right now an index version 2 is created only when the biggest offset in a
pack reaches 31 bits. It might be a good idea to always use index version
2 eventually to benefit from the CRC32 it contains when reusing pack data
while repacking.

The most important optimization for performance when repacking is the
ability to reuse data from a previous pack as is and bypass any delta
or even SHA1 computation by simply copying the raw data from one pack
to another directly.
The problem with this is that any data corruption within a copied object
would go unnoticed and the new (repacked) pack would be self-consistent
with its own checksum despite containing a corrupted object. This is a
real issue that already happened at least once in the past.
In some attempt to prevent this, we validate the copied data by inflating
it and making sure no error is signaled by zlib. But this is still not
perfect as a significant portion of a pack content is made of object
headers and references to delta base objects which are not deflated and
therefore not validated when repacking actually making the pack data reuse
still not as safe as it could be.
Of course a full SHA1 validation could be performed, but that implies
full data inflating and delta replaying which is extremely costly, which
cost the data reuse optimization was designed to avoid in the first place.
So the best solution to this is simply to store a CRC32 of the raw pack
data for each object in the pack index. This way any object in a pack can
be validated before being copied as is in another pack, including header
and any other non deflated data.
Why CRC32 instead of a faster checksum like Adler32? Quoting Wikipedia:
Jonathan Stone discovered in 2001 that Adler-32 has a weakness for very
short messages. He wrote "Briefly, the problem is that, for very short
packets, Adler32 is guaranteed to give poor coverage of the available
bits. Don't take my word for it, ask Mark Adler. :-)" The problem is
that sum A does not wrap for short messages. The maximum value of A for
a 128-byte message is 32640, which is below the value 65521 used by the
modulo operation. An extended explanation can be found in RFC 3309,
which mandates the use of CRC32 instead of Adler-32 for SCTP, the
Stream Control Transmission Protocol.
In the context of a GIT pack, we have lots of small objects, especially
deltas, which are likely to be quite small and in a size range for which
Adler32 is dimed not to be sufficient. Another advantage of CRC32 is the
possibility for recovery from certain types of small corruptions like
single bit errors which are the most probable type of corruptions.
OK what this patch does is to compute the CRC32 of each object written to
a pack within pack-objects. It is not written to the index yet and it is
obviously not validated when reusing pack data yet either.

The coming index format change doesn't allow for the number of objects
to be determined from the size of the index file directly. Instead, Let's

Especially with the new index format to come, it is more appropriate
to encapsulate more into check_packed_git_idx() and assume less of the
index format in struct packed_git.
To that effect, the index_base is renamed to index_data with void * type
so it is not used directly but other pointers initialized with it. This
allows for a couple pointer cast removal, as well as providing a better
generic name to grep for when adding support for new index versions or
formats.
And index_data is declared const too while at it.

As we technically try to support up to a maximum of 2**32-1 objects
in a single packfile we should act like it and use unsigned 32 bit
integers for all of our object counts and progress output.
This change does not modify everything in pack-objects that probably
needs to change to fully support the maximum of 2**32-1 objects.
I'm intentionally breaking the improvements into slightly smaller
commits to make them easier to follow.
No logic change should be occuring here, with the exception that
some comparsions will now work properly when the number of objects
exceeds 2**31-1.

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types

redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch
of strcmp() all over the place.
This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array

If a repository ever gets in a situation where there are too many
packs (more than 60 or so), perhaps because of frequent use of
git-fetch -k or incremental git-repack, then it becomes impossible to
fully repack the repository with git-repack -a. That command just
dies with the cryptic message
fatal: too many internal rev-list options
This message comes from git-pack-objects, which is passed one command
line option like --unpacked=pack-<SHA1>.pack for each pack file to be
repacked. However, the current code has a static limit of 64 command
line arguments and just aborts if more arguments are passed to it.
Fix this by dynamically allocating the array of command line
arguments, and doubling the size each time it overflows.

Junio noticed that 'non-trivial' pushes were failing if executed
using the sliding window mmap changes. This was somewhat difficult
to track down as the failure was appearing randomly.
It turns out this was a failure caused by the delta base reference
(either ref or offset format) spanning over the end of a mmap window.
The error in pack-objects was we were not recalling use_pack
after the object header was unpacked, and therefore we did not
get the promise of at least 20 bytes in the buffer for the delta
base parsing. This would case later memcmp() calls to walk into
unassigned address space at the end of the window.
The reason Junio and I had hard time tracking this down in current
Git repositories is we were both probably packing with offset deltas,
which minimized the odds of the delta base reference spanning over
the end of the mmap window. Stepping back and repacking with
version 1.3.3 (which only supported reference deltas) increased
the likelyhood of seeing the bug.
The correct technique (as used in sha1_file.c) is to invoke
use_pack() after unpack_object_header_gently to ensure we have
enough data available for the delta base decoding.

When multiple mmaps start getting used for all pack file access it
is not possible to get all data associated with a specific object
in one contiguous memory region. This limitation prevents simply
passing a single address and length to SHA1_Update or to inflate.
Instead we need to loop until we have processed all data of interest.
As we loop over the data we are always interested in reusing the same
window 'cursor', as the prior window will no longer be of any use
to us. This allows the use_pack() call to automatically decrement
the use count of the prior window before setting up access for us
to the next window.
Within each loop we need to make use of the available length output
parameter of use_pack() to tell us how many bytes are available in
the current memory region, as we cannot tell otherwise.

Part of the implementation concept of the sliding mmap window for
pack access is to permit multiple windows per pack to be mapped
independently. Since the inuse_cnt is associated with the mmap and
not with the file, this value is in struct pack_window and needs to
be incremented/decremented for each pack_window accessed by any code.
To faciliate that implementation we need to replace all uses of
use_packed_git() and unuse_packed_git() with a different API that
follows struct pack_window objects rather than struct packed_git.
The way this works is when we need to start accessing a pack for
the first time we should setup a new window 'cursor' by declaring
a local and setting it to NULL:
struct pack_windows *w_curs = NULL;
To obtain the memory region which contains a specific section of
the pack file we invoke use_pack(), supplying the address of our
current window cursor:
unsigned int len;
unsigned char *addr = use_pack(p, &w_curs, offset, &len);
the returned address `addr` will be the first byte at `offset`
within the pack file. The optional variable len will also be
updated with the number of bytes remaining following the address.
Multiple calls to use_pack() with the same window cursor will
update the window cursor, moving it from one window to another
when necessary. In this way each window cursor variable maintains
only one struct pack_window inuse at a time.
Finally before exiting the scope which originally declared the window
cursor we must invoke unuse_pack() to unuse the current window (which
may be different from the one that was first obtained from use_pack):
unuse_pack(&w_curs);
This implementation is still not complete with regards to multiple
windows, as only one window per pack file is supported right now.

The idea behind the sliding mmap window pack reader implementation
is to have multiple mmap regions active against the same pack file,
thereby allowing the process to mmap in only the active/hot sections
of the pack and reduce overall virtual address space usage.
To implement this we need to refactor the mmap related data
(pack_base, pack_use_cnt) out of struct packed_git and move them
into a new struct pack_window.
We are refactoring the code to support a single struct pack_window
per packfile, thereby emulating the prior behavior of mmap'ing the
entire pack file.

(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
