The function mark_tree_uninteresting() assumed that the tree entries
are blob when they are not trees. This is not so. Since we do
not traverse into submodules (yet), the gitlinks should be ignored.
In general, we should try to start moving away from using the
"S_ISLNK()" like things for internal git state. It was a mistake to
just assume the numbers all were same across all systems in the first
place. This implementation converts to the "object_type", and then
uses a case statement.
Noticed by Ilari on IRC.

When a thin pack wants to send a tree object at "sub/dir", and
the commit that is common between the sender and the receiver
that is used as the base object has a subproject at that path,
we should not try to use the data at "sub/dir" of the base tree
as a tree object. It is not a tree to begin with, and more
importantly, the commit object there does not have to even
exist.

This adds an option (--window-memory=N) and configuration variable
(pack.windowMemory = N) to limit the memory size of the pack-objects
delta search window. This works by removing the oldest unpacked objects
whenever the total size goes above the limit. It will always leave
at least one object, though, so as not to completely eliminate the
possibility of computing deltas.
This is an extra limit on top of the normal window size (--window=N);
the window will not dynamically grow above the fixed number of entries
specified to fill the memory limit.
With this, repacking a repository with a mix of large and small objects
is possible even with a very large window.

Add a new try_delta heuristic. Don't bother trying to make a delta if
the target object size is much smaller (currently 1/32) than the source,
as it's very likely not going to get a match. Even if it does, you will
have to read at least 32x the size of the new file to reassemble it,
which isn't such a good deal. This leads to a considerable performance
improvement when deltifying a mix of small and large files with a very
large window, because you don't have to wait for the large files to
percolate out of the window before things start going fast again.

We already apply a bias on the initial delta attempt with max_size being
a function of the base object depth. This has the effect of favoring
shallower deltas even if deeper deltas could be smaller, and therefore
creating a wider delta tree (see commits 4e8da195 and c3b06a69).
This principle should also be applied to all delta attempts for the same
object and not only the first attempt. With this the criteria for the
best delta is not only its size but also its depth, so that a shallower
delta might be selected even if it is larger than a deeper one. Even if
some deltas get larger, they allow for wider delta trees making the
depth limit less quickly reached and therefore better deltas can be
subsequently found, keeping the resulting pack size even smaller.
Runtime access to the pack should also benefit from shallower deltas.
Testing on different repositories showed slighter faster repacks,
smaller resulting packs, and a much nicer curve for delta depth
distribution with no more peak at the maximum depth level.
Improvements are even more significant with smaller depth limits.

Two issues here:
1) git-repack -a --max-pack-size=10 on the GIT repo dies pretty quick.
There is a lot of confusion about deltas that were suposed to be
reused from another pack but that get stored undeltified due to pack
limit and object size doesn't match entry->size anymore. This test
is not really worth the complexity for determining when it is valid
so get rid of it.
2) If pack limit is reached, the object buffer is freed, including when
it comes from a cached delta data. In practice the object will be
stored in a subsequent pack undeltified, but let's make sure no
pointer to freed data subsists by clearing entry->delta_data.
I also reorganized that code a bit to make it more readable.

Creating deltas between big blobs is a CPU and memory intensive task.
In the writing phase, all (not reused) deltas are redone.
This patch adds support for caching deltas from the deltifing phase, so
that that the writing phase is faster.
The caching is limited to small deltas to avoid increasing memory usage very much.
The implemented limit is (memory needed to create the delta)/1024.

As we do not consider objects marked as "no-delta" early, there

This teaches pack-objects to use .gitattributes mechanism so
that the user can specify certain blobs are not worth spending
CPU cycles to attempt deltification.

* dh/pack:
Custom compression levels for objects and packs
|
|
Add config variables pack.compression and core.loosecompression ,
and switch --compression=level to pack-objects.
Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set,
else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED.
Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,
else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set,
else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the "pack compression level".
Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed
to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current
loose compression level by the preceding rules, or if the loose
object was written while core.legacyheaders = true. Newly
deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current
pack compression level.
Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes, since the previous pack data
cannot be reused.
In either case, the --no-reuse-object switch from the first
patch below will always force recompression to the current pack
compression level, instead of assuming the pack compression level
hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.
This applies on top of the following patches from Nicolas Pitre:
[PATCH] allow for undeltified objects not to be reused
[PATCH] make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"

Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.
Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.
This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

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.

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.
