Since we sort objects by type, hash, preferredness and then
size, after we have a delta against preferred base, there is no
point trying a delta with non-preferred base. This seems to
save expensive calls to diff-delta and it also seems to save the
output space as well.

The new flag loosens the usual "self containedness" requirment
of packfiles, and sends deltified representation of objects when
we know the other side has the base objects needed to unpack
them. This would help reducing the transfer size.

This goes together with "rev-list --object-edge" change, to feed
pack-objects list of edge commits in addition to the usual
object list. Upon seeing such list, pack-objects loosens the
usual "self contained delta" constraints, and can produce delta
against blobs and trees contained in the edge commits without
storing the delta base objects themselves.
The resulting packfile is not usable in .git/object/packs, but
is a good way to implement "delta-only" transfer.

This tries to rework the solution for the excess delta chain
problem. An earlier commit worked it around ``cheaply'', but
repeated repacking risks unbound growth of delta chains.
This version counts the length of delta chain we are reusing
from the existing pack, and makes sure a base object that has
sufficiently long delta chain does not get deltified.

A new flag -q makes underlying pack-objects less chatty.
A new flag -f forces delta to be recomputed from scratch.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series. This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long. With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation. But the performance suffers greatly.
It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.
It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used. It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.
A<--B<--C<--D E F G
Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.
B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:
E<--F<--G<--A
Oops. We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we? B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!
This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta. Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option. To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.
To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified. But how would we tell that, cheaply?
To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3). Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.
However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.

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.

We run svn log against a URL without a working copy for the first fetch,
so we end up a log that's sorted from highest to lowest. That's bad, we
always want lowest to highest. Just default to --revision 0:HEAD now if
-r isn't specified for the first fetch.
Also sort the revisions after we get them just in case somebody

When you say "git commit Documentaiton" to make partial commit
for the files only in that directory, we did not detect that as
a misspelled pathname and attempted to commit index without
change. If nothing matched, there is no harm done, but if the
index gets modified otherwise by having another valid pathspec
or after an explicit update-index, a user will not notice
without paying attention to the "git status" preview.

git-bisect reset without an argument would return to master even
if the bisecting started at a non-master branch. This patch makes
it save the original branch name to .git/head-name and restore it
afterwards.
This is also compatible with Cogito and cg-seek, so cg-status will
show that we are seeked on the bisect branch and cg-reset will
properly restore the original branch.
git-bisect start will refuse to work if it is not on a bisect but
.git/head-name exists; this is to protect against conflicts with
other seeking tools.

The hashed object lookup had a subtle bug in re-hashing: it did
for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
if (objs[i]) {
.. rehash ..
where "count" was the old hash couny. Oon the face of it is obvious, since
it clearly re-hashes all the old objects.
However, it's wrong.
If the last old hash entry before re-hashing was in use (or became in use
by the re-hashing), then when re-hashing could have inserted an object
into the hash entries with idx >= count due to overflow. When we then
rehash the last old entry, that old entry might become empty, which means
that the overflow entries should be re-hashed again.
In other words, the loop has to be fixed to either traverse the whole
array, rather than just the old count.
(There's room for a slight optimization: instead of counting all the way
up, we can break when we see the first empty slot that is above the old
"count". At that point we know we don't have any collissions that we might
have to fix up any more. This patch only does the trivial fix)
