Just like with committer dates, we parse the tagger date into the
struct tag so its available for further downstream processing.
However since the tagger header was not introduced until Git 0.99.1
we must consider it optional. For tags missing this header we use
the default date of 0.

This code was horribly ugly to follow. The structure of the headers
in an annotated tag object must follow a prescribed order, and most
of these are required. Simplify the entire parsing logic by going
through the headers in the order they are supposed to appear in,
acting on each header as its identified in the buffer.
This change has the same behavior as the older version, its just
easier to read and maintain.

This function is called only once in the whole source tree. Let's move

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types
in the code: a string and a numerical value. One of them is obviously
redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch
of strcmp() all over the place.
This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array
found in object reading code paths. The patch is unfortunately large but
there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the
system.

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.

This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic
objects.
This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and
extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the
alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed.
It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object
allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows
object usage as follows:
blobs: 627629 (14710 kB)
trees: 1119035 (34969 kB)
commits: 196423 (8440 kB)
tags: 1336 (46 kB)
and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory
footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit
faster too.
[ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage".
The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects.
Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final
total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the
object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put
another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total
memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10%
of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes
object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient).
I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is
just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree
objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we
don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and
blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in
the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly
need to.
So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that
most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We
don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair
amount. ]

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.

ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array
at the end of a structure, like this:
struct frotz {
int xyzzy;
char nitfol[]; /* more */
};
GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";
unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90.
This declares such construct like this:
struct frotz {
int xyzzy;
char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */
};
and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and
empty for others.
If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able
to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the
command line of "make".

Store pointers to referenced objects in a variable sized array instead
of linked list. This cuts down memory usage of utilities which use
object references; e.g., git-fsck-objects --full on the git.git
repository consumes about 2 MB of memory tracked by Massif instead of
7 MB before the change. Object refs are still the biggest consumer of
memory (57%), but the malloc overhead for a single block instead of a
linked list is substantially smaller.

Again I left the v2.6.11-tree tag behind. My bad.
This commit makes sure that we do not barf when pushing a ref
that is a non-commitish tag. You can update a remote ref under
the following conditions:
* You can always use --force.
* Creating a brand new ref is OK.
* If the remote ref is exactly the same as what you are
pushing, it is OK (nothing is pushed).
* You can replace a commitish with another commitish which is a
descendant of it, if you can verify the ancestry between them;
this and the above means you have to have what you are replacing.
* Otherwise you cannot update; you need to use --force.

It turns out that parse_object() is loading and decompressing given
object to free it just before calling the specific object parsing
function which does mmap and decompress the same object again. This
patch introduces the ability to parse specific objects directly from a
memory buffer.
Without this patch, running git-fsck-cache on the kernel repositorytake:
real 0m13.006s
user 0m11.421s
sys 0m1.218s
With this patch applied:
real 0m8.060s
user 0m7.071s
sys 0m0.710s
The performance increase is significant, and this is kind of a
prerequisite for sane delta object support with fsck.
