Detached HEAD is just a normal state of a repository. Do not
say anything about it.
Do not give worrying "error:" messages when we let the user know
that the HEAD points at nothing (i.e. yet to be born branch),
nor we do not have any default refs to start following the
objects chain. Reword them as "notice:".

Prior to 1.5.0 the git-lost-found utility was useful to locate
commits that were not referenced by any ref. These were often
amends, or resets, or tips of branches that had been deleted.
Being able to locate a 'lost' commit and recover it by creating a
new branch was a useful feature in those days.
Unfortunately 1.5.0 added the reflogs to the reachability analysis
performed by git-fsck, which means that most commits users would
consider to be lost are still reachable through a reflog. So most
(or all!) commits are reachable, and nothing gets output from
git-lost-found.
Now git-fsck can be told to ignore reflogs during its reachability
analysis, making git-lost-found useful again to locate commits
that are no longer referenced by a ref itself, but may still be
referenced by a reflog.

git-fsck always exited with status 0, which was a bit sloppy.
This makes it exit with a non-zero status when errors are
found. The error code is an OR'ed result of:
1 if corrupted objects are found.
2 if objects that are ought to be reachable are missing or corrupt.
For example, it would exit with 1 in a repository with an
unreachable corrupt object. If a tree object of the HEAD commit
is corrupt, you would get 3.

This separates the connectivity check into separate codepaths,

When checking an unreachable object, unlike a reachable one, we
do not have to complain if it does not exist (we used to
complain about a missing blob even when the only thing that
references it is a tree that is dangling). Also we do not have

unreachable object.

This fixes another problem that Andy's case showed: git-fsck-objects
reports nonsensical results for corrupt objects.
There were actually two independent and confusing problems:
- when we had a zero-sized file and used map_sha1_file, mmap() would
return EINVAL, and git-fsck-objects would report that as an insane and
confusing error. I don't know when this was introduced, it might have
been there forever.
- when "parse_object()" returned NULL, fsck would say "object not found",
which can be very confusing, since obviously the object might "exist",
it's just unparseable because it's totally corrupt.
So this just makes "xmmap()" return NULL for a zero-sized object (which is
a valid thing pointer, exactly the same way "malloc()" can return NULL for
a zero-sized allocation). That fixes the first problem (but we could have
fixed it in the caller too - I don't personally much care whichever way it
goes, but maybe somebody should check that the NO_MMAP case does
something sane in this case too?).
And the second problem is solved by just making the error message slightly
clearer - the failure to parse an object may be because it's missing or
corrupt, not necessarily because it's not "found".

and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with
the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void

The comment added says it all: if we have lost all references in a git
archive, git-fsck-objects should still work, so instead of dying it should
just notify the user about that condition.
This change was triggered by me just doing a "git-init-db" and then
populating that empty git archive with a pack/index file to look at it.
Having git-fsck-objects not work just because I didn't have any references
handy was rather irritating, since part of the reason for running
git-fsck-objects in the first place was to _find_ the missing references.
However, "--unreachable" really doesn't make sense in that situation, and
we want to turn it off to protect anybody who uses the old "git prune"
shell-script (rather than the modern built-in). The old pruning script
used to remove all objects that were reported as unreachable, and without
any refs, that obviously means everything - not worth it.

This shrinks "struct object" to the absolutely minimal size possible.
It now contains /only/ the object flags and the SHA1 hash name of the
object.
The "refs" field, which is really needed only for fsck, is maintained in
a separate hashed lookup-table, allowing all normal users to totally
ignore it.
This helps memory usage, although not as much as I hoped: it looks like
the allocation overhead of malloc (and the alignment constraints in
particular) means that while the structure size shrinks, the actual
allocation overhead mostly does not.
[ That said: memory usage is actually down, but not as much as it should
be: I suspect just one of the object types actually ended up shrinking
its effective allocation size.
To get to the next level, we probably need specialized allocators that
don't pad the allocation more than necessary. ]
The separation makes for some code cleanup, though, and makes the ref
tracking that fsck wants a clearly separate thing.

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

The fsck-objects command (back then it was called fsck-cache)
used to complain if objects referred to by files in .git/refs/
or objects stored in files under .git/objects/??/ were not found
as stand-alone SHA1 files (i.e. found in alternate object pools
or packed archives stored under .git/objects/pack). Back then,
packs and alternates were new curiosity and having everything as
loose objects were the norm.
When we adjusted the behaviour of fsck-cache to consider objects
found in packs are OK, we introduced the --standalone flag as a
backward compatibility measure.
It still correctly checks if your repository is complete and
consists only of loose objects, so in that sense it is doing the
"right" thing, but checking that is pointless these days. This

This makes it possible to have a "sparse" git object subdirectory
structure, something that has become much more attractive now that people
use pack-files all the time.
As a result of pack-files, a git object directory doesn't necessarily have
any individual objects lying around, and in that case it's just wasting
space to keep the empty first-level object directories around: on many
filesystems the 256 empty directories will be aboue 1MB of diskspace.
Even more importantly, after you re-pack a project that _used_ to be
unpacked, you could be left with huge directories that no longer contain
anything, but that waste space and take time to look through.
With this change, "git prune-packed" can just do an rmdir() on the
directories, and they'll get removed if empty, and re-created on demand.
This patch also tries to fix up "write_sha1_from_fd()" to use the new
common infrastructure for creating the object files, closing a hole where
we might otherwise leave half-written objects in the object database.
[jc: I unoptimized the part that really removes the fan-out directories
to ease transition. init-db still wastes 1MB of diskspace to hold 256
empty fan-outs, and prune-packed rmdir()'s the grown but empty directories,
but runs mkdir() immediately after that -- reducing the saving from 150KB
to 146KB. These parts will be re-introduced when everybody has the
