This patch unifies the write_index_file functions in
builtin-pack-objects.c and index-pack.c. As the name
"index" is overloaded in git, move in the direction of
using "idx" and "pack idx" when refering to the pack index.
There should be no change in functionality.

Include a generalized fixup_pack_header_footer() in this new file.
Needed by git-repack --max-pack-size feature in a later patchset.
[sp: Moved close(pack_fd) to callers, to support index-pack, and
changed name to better indicate it is for packfiles.]

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.

Plain integer types without a fixed size can vary between platforms. Even
though all common platforms use 32-bit ints, there is no guarantee that
this won't change at some point. Furthermore, specifying an integer type
with explicit size makes the definition of structures more obvious.

Way back when Junio developed the 64 bit index topic he came up
with a means of changing the .idx file format so that older Git
clients would recognize that they don't understand the file and
refuse to read it, while newer clients could tell the difference
between the old-style and new-style .idx files. Unfortunately
this wasn't recorded anywhere.
This change documents how we might go about changing the .idx
file format by using a special signature in the first four bytes.
Credit (and possible blame) goes completely to Junio for thinking
up this technique.
The change also modifies the error message of the current Git code
so that users get a recommendation to upgrade their Git software
should this version or later encounter a new-style .idx which it
cannot process. We already do this for the .pack files, but since
we usually process the .idx files first its important that these
files are recognized and encourage an upgrade.

* 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

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.

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.

Let's create them at last.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
|
|
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.
