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.

Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.
git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.
The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.
It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like
if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))
=>
if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))

if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;

}
and running:
$ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

Some applications which invoke unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
may want to examine the pack header to determine the number of
objects contained in the pack and use that value to determine which
executable to invoke to handle the rest of the pack stream.
However if the caller consumes the pack header from the input stream
then its no longer available for unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin,
both of which need the version and object count to process the stream.
This change introduces --pack_header=ver,cnt as a command line option
that the caller can supply to indicate it has already consumed the
pack header and what version and object count were found in that
header. As this option is only meant for low level applications
such as receive-pack we are not documenting it at this time.

To prevent a race condition between `index-pack --stdin` and
`repack -a -d` where the repack deletes the newly created pack
file before any refs are updated to reference objects contained
within it we mark the pack file as one that should be kept. This
removes it from the list of packs that `repack -a -d` will consider
for removal.
Callers such as `receive-pack` which want to invoke `index-pack`
should use this new --keep option to prevent the newly created pack
and index file pair from being deleted before they have finished any
related ref updates. Only after all ref updates have been finished
should the associated .keep file be removed.

It appears that git-unpack-objects writes the last part of the input
buffer to stdout after the pack has been parsed. This looks a bit
suspicious since the last fill() might have filled the buffer up to
the 4096 byte limit and more data might still be pending on stdin,
but since this is about being a drop-in replacement for unpack-objects
let's simply duplicate the same behavior for now.

A new flag, --stdin, allows for a pack to be received over a stream.
When this flag is provided, the pack content is written to either
the named pack file or directly to the object repository under the
same name as produced by git-repack. The pack index is written as
well with the corresponding base name, unless the index name is
overriden with -o.

git-unpack-objects when fetching remote objects but only with
non "thin" packs for now.

This patch only adds the streaming capability to index-pack. Although
the code is different it has the exact same functionality as before to
make sure nothing broke.
This is in preparation for receiving packs over the net, parse them on
the fly, fix them up if they are "thin" packs, and keep the resulting
pack instead of exploding it into loose objects. But such functionality
should come separately.
One immediate advantage of this patch is that index-pack can now deal
with packs up to 4GB in size even on 32-bit architectures since the pack
is not entirely mmap()'d all at once anymore.

The "union delta_base" is a strange beast. It is a 20-byte
binary blob key to search a binary searchable deltas[] array,
each element of which uses it to represent its base object with
either a full 20-byte SHA-1 or an offset in the pack. Which
representation is used is determined by another field of the
deltas[] array element, obj->type, so there is no room for
confusion, as long as we make sure we compare the keys for the
same type only with appropriate length. The code compared the
full union with memcmp().
When storing the in-pack offset, the union was first cleared
before storing an unsigned long, so comparison worked fine.
On 64-bit architectures, however, the union typically is 24-byte
long; the code did not clear the remaining 4-byte alignment
padding when storing a full 20-byte SHA-1 representation. Using
memcmp() to compare the whole union was wrong.
This fixes the comparison to look at the first 20-bytes of the
union, regardless of the architecture. As long as ulong is
smaller than 20-bytes this works fine.

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.

This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them

of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.
A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so
I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a
reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char*
and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.

As Fredrik points out the current interface of has_extension() is
potentially confusing. Its parameters include both a nul-terminated
string and a length-limited string.
This patch drops the length argument, requiring two nul-terminated
strings; all callsites are updated. I checked that all of them indeed
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.
Additionally, change has_extension() to use size_t inside instead of
int, as that is the exact type strlen() returns and memcmp() expects.

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.
