Derrick Stolee	662148c435	midx: write object offsets The final pair of chunks for the multi-pack-index file stores the object offsets. We default to using 32-bit offsets as in the pack-index version 1 format, but if there exists an offset larger than 32-bits, we use a trick similar to the pack-index version 2 format by storing all offsets at least 2^31 in a 64-bit table; we use the 32-bit table to point into that 64-bit table as necessary. We only store these 64-bit offsets if necessary, so create a test that manipulates a version 2 pack-index to fake a large offset. This allows us to test that the large offset table is created, but the data does not match the actual packfile offsets. The multi-pack-index offset does match the (corrupted) pack-index offset, so a future feature will compare these offsets during a 'verify' step.

Derrick Stolee	32f3c541e3	multi-pack-index: write pack names in chunk The multi-pack-index needs to track which packfiles it indexes. Store these in our first required chunk. Since filenames are not well structured, add padding to keep good alignment in later chunks. Modify the 'git multi-pack-index read' subcommand to output the existence of the pack-file name chunk. Modify t5319-multi-pack-index.sh to reflect this new output and the new expected number of chunks. Defense in depth: A pattern we are using in the multi-pack-index feature is to verify the data as we write it. We want to ensure we never write invalid data to the multi-pack-index. There are many checks that verify that the values we are writing fit the format definitions. This mainly helps developers while working on the feature, but it can also identify issues that only appear when dealing with very large data sets. These large sets are hard to encode into test cases. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	7 years ago
Derrick Stolee	e0d1bcf825	multi-pack-index: add format details The multi-pack-index feature generalizes the existing pack-index feature by indexing objects across multiple pack-files. Describe the basic file format, using a 12-byte header followed by a lookup table for a list of "chunks" which will be described later. The file ends with a footer containing a checksum using the hash algorithm. The header allows later versions to create breaking changes by advancing the version number. We can also change the hash algorithm using a different version value. We will add the individual chunk format information as we introduce the code that writes that information.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy	011b648646	pack-format.txt: more details on pack file format The current document mentions OBJ_* constants without their actual values. A git developer would know these are from cache.h but that's not very friendly to a person who wants to read this file to implement a pack file parser. Similarly, the deltified representation is not documented at all (the "document" is basically patch-delta.c). Translate that C code to English with a bit more about what ofs-delta and ref-delta mean.

Thomas Ackermann	d5fa1f1a69	The name of the hash function is "SHA-1", not "SHA1" Use "SHA-1" instead of "SHA1" whenever we talk about the hash function. When used as a programming symbol, we keep "SHA1". Signed-off-by: Thomas Ackermann <th.acker@arcor.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	12 years ago
Stefan Saasen	06cb843fea	Documentation: distinguish between ref and offset deltas in pack-format `eb32d236` introduced the OBJ_OFS_DELTA object that uses a relative offset to identify the base object instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference. The pack file documentation only mentions the SHA1 based reference in its description of the deltified object entry. Update the pack format documentation to clarify that the deltified object representation refers to its base using either a relative negative offset or the absolute SHA1 identifier.

Thomas Ackermann	48a8c26c62	Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GIT In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT, to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small caps. Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days. Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation. The name to refer to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the command end-users type is "git". And document this in the coding guideline.

Junio C Hamano	a6080a0a44	War on whitespace This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.
