git usually streams large blobs directly to packs. But there are cases
where git can create large loose blobs (unpack-objects or hash-object
over pipe). Or they can come from other git implementations.
core.bigfilethreshold can also be lowered down and introduce a new
wave of large loose blobs.
Use streaming interface to read/compress/write these blobs in one
go. Fall back to normal way if somehow streaming interface cannot be
used.

unpack_raw_entry() will not allocate and return decompressed blobs if
they are larger than core.bigFileThreshold. sha1_object() may not be
called on those objects because there's no actual content.
sha1_object() is called later on those objects, where we can safely
use get_data_from_pack() to retrieve blob content for checking.
However we always do that when we definitely need the blob
content. And we often don't.
There are two cases when we may need object content. The first case is
when we find an in-repo blob with the same SHA-1. We need to do
collision test, byte-on-byte. If this test is on, the blob must be
loaded on memory (i.e. no streaming). Normally (e.g. in
fetch/pull/clone) this does not happen because git avoid to send
objects that client already has.
The other case is when --strict is specified and the object in
question is not a blob, which can't happen in reality becase we deal
with large _blobs_ here.
Note: --verify (or git-verify-pack) a pack from current repository
will trigger collision test on every object in the pack, which
effectively disables this patch. This could be easily worked around by
setting GIT_DIR to an imaginary place with no packs.

After an entry has been streamed out, its CRC and sizes are written as
part of a data descriptor.
For simplicity, we make the buffer for the compressed chunks twice as
big as for the uncompressed ones, to be sure the result fit in even
if deflate makes them bigger.

Write a data descriptor containing the CRC of the entry and its sizes
after streaming it out. For simplicity, do that only if we're storing
files (option -0) for now.

This command indirectly calls check_sha1_signature() (add_info_ref ->
deref_tag -> parse_object -> ..) , which may put whole blob in memory
if the blob's size is under core.bigfilethreshold. As config is not
read, the threshold is always 512MB. Respect user settings here.

New test cases list commands that should work when memory is
limited. All memory allocation functions (*) learn to reject any
allocation larger than $GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT if set.
(*) Not exactly all. Some places do not use x* functions, but
malloc/calloc directly, notably diff-delta. These code path should
never be run on large blobs.

This extends the earlier approach to stream a large file directly from the
filesystem to its own packfile, and allows "git add" to send large files
directly into a single pack. Older code used to spawn fast-import, but the
new bulk-checkin API replaces it.

When adding a new content to the repository, we have always slurped
the blob in its entirety in-core first, and computed the object name
and compressed it into a loose object file. Handling large binary
files (e.g. video and audio asset for games) has been problematic
because of this design.
At the middle level of "git add" callchain is an internal API
index_fd() that takes an open file descriptor to read from the
working tree file being added with its size. Teach it to call out to
fast-import when adding a large blob.
The write-out codepath in entry.c::write_entry() should be taught to
stream, instead of reading everything in core. This should not be so
hard to implement, especially if we limit ourselves only to loose
object files and non-delta representation in packfiles.
