Linus Torvalds	1974632c66	Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently. 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.

Junio C Hamano	3f9ac8d259	pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs. 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.

Nicolas Pitre	d60fc1c864	remove delta-against-self bit 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.

Junio C Hamano	f3bf922409	[PATCH] verify-pack updates. 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.

Junio C Hamano	f9253394a2	[PATCH] Add git-verify-pack command. 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.

Linus Torvalds	01247d8742	Make git pack files use little-endian size encoding 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.	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	a733cb606f	Change pack file format. Hopefully for the last time. 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.	20 years ago
