2006-10-22Merge branch 'np/pack'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+0
* np/pack: add the capability for index-pack to read from a stream index-pack: compare only the first 20-bytes of the key. git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffset pack-objects: document --delta-base-offset option allow delta data reuse even if base object is a preferred base zap a debug remnant let the GIT native protocol use offsets to delta base when possible make pack data reuse compatible with both delta types make git-pack-objects able to create deltas with offset to base teach git-index-pack about deltas with offset to base teach git-unpack-objects about deltas with offset to base introduce delta objects with offset to base
2006-10-14Revert "move pack creation to version 3"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-27make pack data reuse compatible with both delta typesLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-3/+0
This is the missing part to git-pack-objects allowing it to reuse delta data to/from any of the two delta types. It can reuse delta from any type, and it outputs base offsets when --allow-delta-base-offset is provided and the base is also included in the pack. Otherwise it outputs base sha1 references just like it always did. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-22move pack creation to version 3Libravatar Nicolas Pitre1-1/+1
It's been quite a while now that GIT is able to read version 3 packs. Let's create them at last. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-12Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-14/+1
This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits already used in the packfile format, by removing the former (i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum object_type) throughout the code for consistency. Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings" entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different integer enumeration.

2006-02-17pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+3
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified, and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally, bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas() calls. Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle. Without this patch, in linux-2.6 repository with about 1500 loose objects and a single mega pack: $ git-rev-list --objects v2.6.16-rc3 >RL $ wc -l RL 184141 RL $ time git-pack-objects p <RL Generating pack...

2006-02-09remove delta-against-self bitLibravatar Nicolas Pitre1-0/+1
After experimenting with code to add the ability to encode a delta against part of the deltified file, it turns out that resulting packs are _bigger_ than when this ability is not used. The raw delta output might be smaller, but it doesn't compress as well using gzip with a negative net saving on average. Said bit would in fact be more useful to allow for encoding the copying of chunks larger than 64KB providing more savings with large files. This will correspond to packs version 3. While the current code still produces packs version 2, it is made future proof so pack versions 2 and 3 are accepted. Any pack version 2 are compatible with version 3 since the redefined bit was never used before. When enough time has passed, code to use that bit to produce version 3 packs could be added.

2005-06-30[PATCH] verify-pack updates.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Nico pointed out that having verify_pack.c and verify-pack.c was confusing. Rename verify_pack.c to pack-check.c as suggested, and enhances the verification done quite a bit. - Built-in sha1_file unpacking knows that a base object of a deltified object _must_ be in the same pack, and takes advantage of that fact. - Earlier verify-pack command only checked the SHA1 sum for the entire pack file and did not look into its contents. It now checks everything idx file claims to have unpacks correctly. - It now has a hook to give more detailed information for objects contained in the pack under -v flag.

2005-06-29[PATCH] Add git-verify-pack command.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency. This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache when the --full flag is used. During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check. We may further want to check the pack signature and version when we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch. Earlier, errors to map a pack file was not flagged fatal but led to a random fatal error later. This version explicitly die()s when such an error is detected.

2005-06-28Make git pack files use little-endian size encodingLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-6/+13
This makes it match the new delta encoding, and admittedly makes the code easier to follow. This also updates the PACK file version to 2, since this (and the delta encoding change in the previous commit) are incompatible with the old format.
2005-06-28Change pack file format. Hopefully for the last time.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+23
This also adds a header with a signature, version info, and the number of objects to the pack file. It also encodes the file length and type more efficiently.
