STDERR should always be flushed without buffering, so

Much like the pack_sha1 the pack_fd is an unnecessary global

*pack_data so that the core library functions in sha1_file.c are

Because fast-import automatically updates all references (heads
and tags) at the end of its run the repository is corrupt unless
the objects are available in the .git/objects/pack directory prior
to the refs being modified. The easiest way to ensure that is true
is to move the packfile and its associated index directly into the
.git/objects/pack directory as soon as we have finished output to it.
But the only safe way to do this is to create the a temporary .keep
file for that pack, so we use the same tricks that index-pack uses
when its being invoked by receive-pack.

If a frontend wants to use a mark per file revision and per commit
and is doing a truly huge import (such as a 32 GiB SVN repository)
we may need more than 2**32 unique mark values, especially if the
frontend is unable (or unwilling) to recycle mark values. For mark
idnums we should use the largest unsigned integer type available,
hoping that will be at least 64 bits when we are compiled as a 64
bit executable. This way we may consume huge amounts of memory
storing our mark table, but we'll at least be able to process
the entire import without failing.

If we previously were using a delta but we needed to checkpoint the
current packfile and switch to a new packfile we need to throw away
the delta and compress the raw object by itself, as delta chains
cannot span non-thin packfiles. Unfortunately the output buffer
in this case needs to grow, as the size of the compressed object
may be quite a bit larger than the size of the compressed delta.
I've also avoided recompressing the object if we are checkpointing
and we didn't use a delta. In this case the output buffer is the
correct size and has already been populated with the right data,
we just need to close out the current packfile and open a new one.

When the number of objects or number of bytes gets close to the limit
allowed by the packfile format (or configured on the command line by
our caller) we should automatically checkpoint the current packfile
and start a new one before writing the object out. This does however
require that we abandon the delta (if we had one) as its not valid
in a new packfile.
I also added the simple rule that if we got a delta back but the
delta itself is the same size as or larger than the uncompressed
object to ignore the delta and just store the object data. This
should avoid some really bad behavior caused by our current delta
strategy.

When we are generating multiple packfiles at once we only need
to scan the blocks of object_entry structs which contain objects
for the current packfile. Because the most recent blocks are at

we can stop scanning for objects as soon as we identify one which

To help importers which are dealing with massive amounts of data

Now that we are starting to see some really large projects (such

into the upper limit on packfile object count as well as overall
byte length. The KDE and FreeBSD projects are both likely to
require more than 4 GiB to store their current history, which means
we really need multiple packfiles to handle their content.
This is a fairly simple restructuring of the internal code to help
us support creating multiple packfiles from within fast-import.
We are now adding a 5 digit incrementing suffix to the end of the
basename supplied to us by the caller, permitting up to 99,999
packs to be generated in a single fast-import run.

We really want to always favor an annotated tag over a lightweight
tag when describing a commit. Unfortunately git-describe wasn't
doing this as it was favoring the depth attribute of a possible_tag
over the priority. Now priority is the highest sort and we only
consider a lightweight tag if no annotated tags were identified.
Rather than searching for the minimum tag using a simple loop we
now sort them using a stable sort algorithm, this way the possible
tags display in order if --debug gets used. The stable sort helps
to preseve the inherit topology/date order that we obtain during
our search loop.
This fix allows the tests in t6120-describe.sh to pass.

My prior version of git-describe ran very slowly on even reasonably
sized projects like git.git and linux.git as it tended to identify
a large number of possible tags and then needed to generate the
revision list for each of those tags to sort them and select the
best tag to describe the input commit.
All we really need is the number of commits in the input revision
which are not in the tag. We can generate these counts during
the revision walking and tag matching loop by assigning a color to
each tag and coloring the commits as we walk them. This limits us
to identifying no more than 26 possible tags, as there is limited
space available within the flags field of struct commit.
The limitation of 26 possible tags is hopefully not going to be a
problem in real usage, as most projects won't create 26 maintenance
releases and merge them back into a development trunk after the
development trunk was tagged with a release candidate tag. If that
does occur git-describe will start to revert to its old behavior of
using the newer maintenance release tag to describe the development
trunk, rather than the development trunk's own tag. The suggested
workaround would be to retag the development trunk's tip.
However since even 26 possible tags can take a while to generate a
description for on some projects I'm defaulting the limit to 10 but
offering the user --candidates to increase the number of possible
matches if they need a more accurate result. I specifically chose
10 for the default as it seems unlikely projects will have more
than 10 maintenance releases merged into a development trunk before
retagging the development trunk, and it seems to perform about the
same on linux.git as v1.4.4.4 git-describe.
A large amount of debugging information was also added during
the development of this change, so I've left it in to be toggled
on with --debug. It may be useful to the end user to help them
understand why git-describe took one particular tag over another.

If a project has a really huge number of tags (such as several
thousand tags) then we are likely to have nearly a hundred tags in
some buckets. Scanning those buckets as linked lists could take
a large amount of time if done repeatedly during history traversal.
Since we are searching for a unique commit SHA1 we can sort all
tags by commit SHA1 and perform a binary search within the bucket.
Once we identify a particular tag as matching this commit we walk
backwards within the bucket matches to make sure we pick up the
highest priority tag for that commit, as the binary search may
have landed us in the middle of a set of tags which point at the
same commit.

Now that the sha1_file.c library routines use the sliding mmap

I can remove that code from fast-import.c and just invoke it.
One benefit is we now have reloading support for any packfile which
uses OBJ_OFS_DELTA. Another is we have significantly less code
to maintain.
This code reuse change *requires* that fast-import generate only
an OBJ_OFS_DELTA format packfile, as there is absolutely no index
available to perform OBJ_REF_DELTA lookup in while unpacking
an object. This is probably reasonable to require as the delta
offsets result in smaller packfiles and are faster to unpack,
as no index searching is required. Its also only a temporary
requirement as users could always repack without offsets before
making the import available to older versions of Git.

The progress meter considers each entry in the in-memory index to

To aid debugging output buffering is only enabled if verbosity

see the output delayed, especially if they are stepping through
