We used to try loose objects first with sha1_object_info(), but packed
objects first with read_sha1_file(). Now, prefer packed objects over loose
ones with sha1_object_info(), too.
Usually the old behaviour would pose no problem, but when you tried to fix
a fscked up repository by inserting a known-good pack,
git cat-file $(git cat-file -t <sha1>) <sha1>
could fail, even when
git cat-file blob <sha1>
would _not_ fail. Worse, a repack would fail, too.

Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects
should be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack
to decide if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
--fix-thin based on the setting of receive.unpackLimit and the
number of objects contained in the received pack.
If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is
below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default)
then we unpack-objects as we have in the past.
If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and
ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it
easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository.
Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack. We really
don't want that as received packs will tend to be small. Instead we
want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have
been updated. That is being left as room for future improvement.

This allows us to pass just the file name of a pack rather than
the complete path when we want pack-objects to consider its
contents as though they were loose objects. This can be helpful

it cumbersome to pass complete paths safely in a shell script.

This adds "keep-pack" extension to send-pack vs receive pack protocol,
and makes the receiver invoke "index-pack --stdin --fix-thin".
With this, you can ask send-pack not to explode the result into
loose objects on the receiving end.
I've patched has_sha1_file() to re-check for added packs just
like is done in read_sha1_file() for now, but I think the static
"re-prepare" interface for packs was a mistake. Creation of a
new pack inside a process that needs to read objects in them
back ought to be a rare event, so we are better off making the
callers (such as receive-pack that calls "index-pack --stdin
--fix-thin") explicitly call re-prepare. That way we do not
have to penalize ordinary users of read_sha1_file() and
has_sha1_file().
We would need to fix this someday.

Supposing that both the base and result sizes were both full size 64-bit

This is the missing part to git-pack-objects allowing it to reuse delta
data to/from any of the two delta types. It can reuse delta from any
type, and it outputs base offsets when --allow-delta-base-offset is

This adds a new object, namely OBJ_OFS_DELTA, renames OBJ_DELTA to
OBJ_REF_DELTA to better make the distinction between those two delta
objects, and adds support for the handling of those new delta objects
in sha1_file.c only.
The OBJ_OFS_DELTA contains a relative offset from the delta object's
position in a pack instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference to identify
the base object. Since the base is likely to be not so far away, the
relative offset is more likely to have a smaller encoding on average
than an absolute offset. And for those delta objects the base must
always be stored first because there is no way to know the distance of
later objects when streaming a pack. Hence this relative offset is
always meant to be negative.
The offset encoding is slightly denser than the one used for object
size -- credits to <linux@horizon.com> (whoever this is) for bringing
it to my attention.
This allows for pack size reduction between 3.2% (Linux-2.6) to over 5%
(linux-historic). Runtime pack access should be faster too since delta
replay does skip a search in the pack index for each delta in a chain.

Those cleanups are mainly to set the table for the support of deltas
with base objects referenced by offsets instead of sha1. This means
that many pack lookup functions are converted to take a pack/offset
tuple instead of a sha1.
This eliminates many struct pack_entry usages since this structure
carried redundent information in many cases, and it increased stack
footprint needlessly for a couple recursively called functions that used
to declare a local copy of it for every recursion loop.
In the process, packed_object_info_detail() has been reorganized as well
so to look much saner and more amenable to deltas with offset support.
Finally the appropriate adjustments have been made to functions that
depend on the above changes. But there is no functionality changes yet
simply some code refactoring at this point.

Incremental repack without -a essentially boils down to:
rev-list --objects --unpacked --all |
pack-objects $new_pack
which picks up all loose objects that are still live and creates
a new pack.
This implements --unpacked=<existing pack> option to tell the
revision walking machinery to pretend as if objects in such a
pack are unpacked for the purpose of object listing. With this,
we could say:
rev-list --objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all |
pack-objects $new_pack
instead, to mean "all live loose objects but pretend as if
objects that are in this pack are also unpacked". The newly
created pack would be perfect for updating $active_pack by
replacing it.
Since pack-objects now knows how to do the rev-list's work
itself internally, you can also write the above example by:
pack-objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all $new_pack </dev/null

When copying from an existing pack and when copying from a loose
object with new style header, the code makes sure that the piece
we are going to copy out inflates well and inflate() consumes
the data in full while doing so.
The check to see if the xdelta really apply is quite expensive
as you described, because you would need to have the image of
the base object which can be represented as a delta against

This patch drops the length argument, requiring two nul-terminated

provide nul-terminated strings. Filenames need to be nul-terminated
anyway if they are to be passed to open() etc. The performance penalty
of the additional strlen() is negligible compared to the system calls
which inevitably surround has_extension() calls.

The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.
A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.
Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.

- updating config file created it under user's umask without

- updating refs created it under user's umask without
adjusting;
- switching branches created .git/HEAD under user's umask
without adjusting.
This moves adjust_shared_perm() from sha1_file.c to path.c,
