It's not working yet, but it's at the point where I want to be able to
track my changes. The theory of operation is that this is the "remote"
side of a "git push". It can tell us what references the remote side
has, receives out reference update commands and a pack-file, and can
execute the unpacking command.
Now you can give git-rev-list tags, trees and blobs, and it will do the
proper reachability for them all. Knock wood.
Of course, you need the "--objects" flag to do anything but plain
commits.
We want to be able to just say "give a difference between these
objects", rather than limiting it to commits only. This isn't there
yet, but it sets things up to be a bit easier.
It now always read from standard input and rejects non-flag
arguments.

It can no longer be as verbose, since it doesn't have a good way to
resolve deltas (now that it is purely streaming, it cannot seek around
to read the objects a delta is based on).
But it can check that the thing unpacks cleanly at least as far as pack
syntax goes - all the objects uncompress cleanly, and the pack has the
right final SHA1.
I'd like to add back the "dry-run" thing, but it turns out that to do it
well, I'd have to keep all the object data in memory (which is not
acceptable). So I'll clean it up a bit and make it do as many checks as
it can.
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.
Since the delta data format is not tied to any actual git object
anymore, now is the time to add a small improvement to the delta data
header as it is been done for packed object header. This patch allows
for reducing the delta header of about 2 bytes and makes for simpler
code.

Deltas are useless by themselves and when you use them you need to get
to their base objects. A base object should inherit recency from the
most recent deltified object that is based on it and that is what this
patch teaches git-pack-objects.

It gets a bit more complicated to unpack in a streaming environment, but
here it is. The rewrite is actually a lot cleaner in other ways, it's
just a bit more subtle.
The diff_delta() interface was extended to reject generating too big a
delta while we were working on the packed GIT archive format.
Take advantage of that when generating delta in the similarity estimator

The fsck-cache complains if objects referred to by files in .git/refs/
or objects stored in files under .git/objects/??/ are not found as
stand-alone SHA1 files (i.e. found in alternate object pools
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES or packed archives stored under
.git/objects/pack).
Although this is a good semantics to maintain consistency of a single
.git/objects directory as a self contained set of objects, it sometimes
is useful to consider it is OK as long as these "outside" objects are
available.
This commit introduces a new flag, --standalone, to git-fsck-cache.
When it is not specified, connectivity checks and .git/refs pointer
checks are taught that it is OK when expected objects do not exist under
.git/objects/?? hierarchy but are available from an packed archive or in
an alternate object pool.
Another new flag, --full, makes git-fsck-cache to check not only the
current GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY but also objects found in alternate object
pools and packed GIT archives.a

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.
We use sha1_object_info() now, and getting size is also trivial.

The initial one was not doing enough to figure things out
without uncompressing too much. It also fixes a potential

currently we do not unmap packed file yet.

Now, there's still a misfeature there, which is that when you
create a new object, it doesn't check whether that object
already exists in the pack-file, so you'll end up with a few
recent objects that you really don't need (notably tree
objects), and this patch fixes it.

This replaces sha1sum(1) with sum(1) in t/t1002. GNU sum(1) runs in
"BSD compatibility" mode by default, and not all systems have GNU
coreutils. On any system without GNU coreutils (or sha1sum) t1002 will
fail. This patch should make t1002 complete successfully everywhere
that sum(1) runs.
I've tested this on Darwin and Linux; it works on both platforms.

GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY and GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES can
have the "pack" subdirectory that houses "packed GIT" files
produced by git-pack-objects (e.g. .git/objects/pack/foo.pack
and .git/objects/pack/foo.idx; always store them as pairs). The

from such packed file:

If we have a very long commit message, and we end up getting a
bufferfull of data from git-rev-list that all belongs to one commit,
we ended up throwing away the data from a previous read that should
have been included. The result was a error message about not being
able to parse the output of git-rev-list.
Also, if the git-rev-list output that we can't parse is long, only put
the first 80 chars in the error message. Otherwise we end up with an
enormous error window.
Also, make the writing of the SHA1 as a end-header be conditional: not
every user will necessarily want to write the SHA1 to the file itself,
even though current users do (but we migh end up using the same helper
functions for the object files themselves, that don't do this).
This also makes the packed index file contain the SHA1 of the packed
data file at the end (just before its own SHA1). That way you can
validate the pairing of the two if you want to.
We want to be able to check their integrity later, and putting the
sha1-sum of the contents at the end is a good thing. The writing
routines are generic, so we could try to re-use them for the index file,
instead of having the same logic duplicated.
Update unpack-objects to know about the extra 20 bytes at the end
of the index.
