Commit 83572c1a914d3f7a8dd66d954c11bbc665b7b923 changed many
realloc to xrealloc. This change was made in diff-delta.c too,
although the code can handle an out of memory failure.
This patch reverts this change in diff-delta.c.

There is actually nothing left from the original LibXDiff code I used
over 2 years ago, and even the GIT implementation has diverged quite a
bit from LibXDiff's at this point. Let's update the copyright notice
to better reflect that fact.

Martin Koegler noted that create_delta() performs a new hash lookup
after every block copy encoding which are currently limited to 64KB.
In case of larger identical blocks, the next hash lookup would normally
point to the next 64KB block in the reference buffer and multiple block
copy operations will be consecutively encoded.
It is however possible that the reference buffer be sparsely indexed if
hash buckets have been trimmed down in create_delta_index() when hashing
of the reference buffer isn't well balanced. In that case the hash
lookup following a block copy might fail to match anything and the fact
that the reference buffer still matches beyond the previous 64KB block
will be missed.
Let's rework the code so that buffer comparison isn't bounded to 64KB
anymore. The match size should be as large as possible up front and
only then should multiple block copy be encoded to cover it all.
Also, fewer hash lookups will be performed in the end.
According to Martin, this patch should reduce his 92MB pack down to 75MB
with the dataset he has.
Tests performed on the Linux kernel repo show a slightly smaller pack and
a slightly faster repack.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

This reverts commit 16854571aae6302f457c5fbee41ac64669b09595.
Git as recent as v1.1.6 do not understand version 3 delta.
v1.2.0 is Ok and I personally would say it is old enough, but
the improvement between version 2 and version 3 delta is not
bit enough to justify breaking older clients.
We should resurrect this later, but when we do so we shold
make it conditional.

Change places that use realloc, without a proper error path, to instead use
xrealloc. Drop an erroneous error path in the daemon code that used errno
in the die message in favour of the simpler xrealloc.

It cannot be assumed that the given buffer will never be moved when
shrinking the allocated memory size with realloc(). So let's ignore
that optimization for now.

It is useless to preserve multiple hash entries for consecutive blocks
with the same hash. Keeping only the first one will allow for matching
the longest string of identical bytes while subsequent blocks will only
allow for shorter matches. The backward matching code will match the
end of it as necessary.
This improves both performances (no repeated string compare with long
successions of identical bytes, or even small group of bytes), as well
as compression (less likely to need random hash bucket entry culling),
especially with sparse files.
With well behaved data sets this patch doesn't change much.

This is my assembly freak side looking at generated code again. And
since create_delta() is certainly pretty high on the radar every bits
count. In this case shorter code is generated if hash_mask is not
copied to a local variable.

This brings another small repacking speedup for sensibly the same pack
size. On the Linux kernel repo, git-repack -a -f is 3.7% faster for a
0.4% larger pack.
Credits to Geert Bosch who brought the Rabin's polynomial idea to my
attention.
This also eliminate the issue of adler32() reading past the data buffer,
as noticed by Johannes Schindelin.

This patch splits the diff-delta interface into index creation and delta
generation. A wrapper is provided to preserve the diff-delta() call.
This will allow for an optimization in pack-objects.c where the source
object could be fixed and a full window of objects tentatively tried
against
that same source object without recomputing the source index each time.
This patch only restructure things, plus a couple cleanups for good
measure. There is no performance change yet.

The diff-delta code can exhibit O(m*n) behavior with some patological
data set where most hash entries end up in the same hash bucket.
To prevent this, a limit is imposed to the number of entries that can
exist in the same hash bucket.
Because of the above the code is a tiny bit more expensive on average,
even if some small optimizations were added as well to atenuate the
overhead. But the problematic samples used to diagnoze the issue are now
orders of magnitude less expensive to process with only a slight loss in
compression.

Testing for realloc and size limit can be done with only one test per
loop. Make it so and fix a theoretical off-by-one comparison error in
the process.
The output buffer memory allocation is also bounded by max_size when
specified.
Finally make some variable unsigned to allow the handling of files up to
4GB in size instead of 2GB.

for reducing the delta header of about 2 bytes and makes for simpler

Anything that generates a delta to see if two objects are close usually
isn't interested in the delta ends up being bigger than some specified

happens.
