This is a basic set of tests for the sliding window mmap. We mostly
focus on the verify-pack and pack-objects implementations (including
delta reuse) as these commands appear to cover the bulk of the
affected portions of sha1_file.c.
The test cases don't verify the virtual memory size used, as
this can differ from system to system. Instead it just verifies
that we can run with very low values for core.packedGitLimit and
core.packedGitWindowSize.
Adding pack_report() to the end of both builtin-verify-pack.c and
builtin-pack-objects.c and manually inspecting the statistics output
can help to verify that the total virtual memory size attributed
to pack mmap usage is what one might expect on the current system.

If a command opens a packfile for only temporary access and does not
install the struct packed_git* into the global packed_git list then
we are unable to unmap any inactive windows within that packed_git,
causing the overall process to exceed core.packedGitLimit.
We cannot force the callers to install their temporary packfile
into the packed_git chain as doing so would allow that (possibly
corrupt but currently being verified) temporary packfile to become
part of the local ODB, which may allow it to be considered for
object resolution when it may not actually be a valid packfile.
So to support unmapping the windows of these temporary packfiles we
also scan the windows of the struct packed_git which was supplied
to use_pack(). Since commands only work with one temporary packfile
at a time scanning the one supplied to use_pack() and all packs
installed into packed_git should cover everything available in
memory.
We also have to be careful to not close the file descriptor of
the packed_git which was handed to use_pack() when all of that
packfile's windows have been unmapped, as we are already past the
open call that would open the packfile and need the file descriptor
to be ready for mmap() after unuse_one_window returns.

We cannot allow a window to be smaller than 2 system pages.
This limitation is necessary to support the feature of use_pack()
where we always supply at least 20 bytes after the offset to help
the object header and delta base parsing routines.
If packedGitWindowSize were allowed to be as small as 1 system page

This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.
We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset. This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.
In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window. This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.
I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary
buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte
during header parsing. We may decide to revisit this decision in
the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not
actually been proven out by experimental testing.

To support multiple windows per packfile we need to unmap only one
window at a time from that packfile, leaving any other windows in
place and available for reference.
We treat all windows from all packfiles equally; the least recently
used, not-in-use window across all packfiles will always be closed
first.
If we have unmapped all windows in a packfile then we can also close
the packfile's file descriptor as its possible we won't need to map
any window from that file in the near future. This decision about
when to close the pack file descriptor may need to be revisited in

When we parse the object header or the delta base reference we
don't bother to loop over use_pack() calls. The reason we don't
need to bother with calling use_pack for each byte accessed is that
use_pack will always promise us at least 20 bytes (really the hash
size) after the offset. This promise from use_pack simplifies a
lot of code in the header parsing logic, as well as helps out the
zlib library by ensuring there's always some data for it to consume
during an inflate call.

When multiple mmaps start getting used for all pack file access it
is not possible to get all data associated with a specific object
in one contiguous memory region. This limitation prevents simply
passing a single address and length to SHA1_Update or to inflate.
Instead we need to loop until we have processed all data of interest.
As we loop over the data we are always interested in reusing the same
window 'cursor', as the prior window will no longer be of any use
to us. This allows the use_pack() call to automatically decrement
the use count of the prior window before setting up access for us
to the next window.
Within each loop we need to make use of the available length output
parameter of use_pack() to tell us how many bytes are available in
the current memory region, as we cannot tell otherwise.

Part of the implementation concept of the sliding mmap window for
pack access is to permit multiple windows per pack to be mapped
independently. Since the inuse_cnt is associated with the mmap and
not with the file, this value is in struct pack_window and needs to
be incremented/decremented for each pack_window accessed by any code.
To faciliate that implementation we need to replace all uses of
use_packed_git() and unuse_packed_git() with a different API that
follows struct pack_window objects rather than struct packed_git.
The way this works is when we need to start accessing a pack for
the first time we should setup a new window 'cursor' by declaring
a local and setting it to NULL:
struct pack_windows *w_curs = NULL;
To obtain the memory region which contains a specific section of
the pack file we invoke use_pack(), supplying the address of our
current window cursor:
unsigned int len;
unsigned char *addr = use_pack(p, &w_curs, offset, &len);
the returned address `addr` will be the first byte at `offset`
within the pack file. The optional variable len will also be
updated with the number of bytes remaining following the address.
Multiple calls to use_pack() with the same window cursor will
update the window cursor, moving it from one window to another
when necessary. In this way each window cursor variable maintains
only one struct pack_window inuse at a time.
Finally before exiting the scope which originally declared the window
cursor we must invoke unuse_pack() to unuse the current window (which
may be different from the one that was first obtained from use_pack):
unuse_pack(&w_curs);
This implementation is still not complete with regards to multiple
windows, as only one window per pack file is supported right now.

To efficiently support mmaping of multiple regions of the same pack
file we want to keep the pack's file descriptor open while we are
actively working with that pack. So we are now keeping that file
descriptor in packed_git.pack_fd and closing it only after we unmap
the last window.
This is going to increase the number of file descriptors that are
in use at once, however that will be bounded by the total number of
pack files present and therefore should not be very high. It is
a small tradeoff which we may need to revisit after some testing
can be done on various repositories and systems.
For code clarity we also want to seperate out the implementation
of how we open a pack file from the implementation which locates
a suitable window (or makes a new one) from the given pack file.
Since this is a rather large delta I'm taking advantage of doing
it now, in a fairly isolated change.
When we open a pack file we need to examine the header and trailer
without having a mmap in place, as we may only need to mmap
the middle section of this particular pack. Consequently the
verification code has been refactored to make use of the new
read_or_die function.

The idea behind the sliding mmap window pack reader implementation
is to have multiple mmap regions active against the same pack file,
thereby allowing the process to mmap in only the active/hot sections
of the pack and reduce overall virtual address space usage.
To implement this we need to refactor the mmap related data
(pack_base, pack_use_cnt) out of struct packed_git and move them
into a new struct pack_window.
We are refactoring the code to support a single struct pack_window
per packfile, thereby emulating the prior behavior of mmap'ing the
entire pack file.

Rather than hardcoding the maximum number of bytes which can be
mmapped from pack files we should make this value configurable,
allowing the end user to increase or decrease this limit on a

and the capabilities of their operating system.
In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level
setting within the core code, but being able to artifically limit
the number of bytes which we can mmap at once from pack files will
make it easier to craft test cases for the new mmap sliding window

When '*.ig' is ignored, and you have two files f.ig and d.ig/foo

After reverting that commit, this takes a much simpler approach.
When we have an unmatched pathspec that talks about an existing

so we include it in the set of paths directory walker returned.

branch and the stuff in the current commit is the "current" branch.
This assumption may however come up wrong if the user resolves one

also being rebased. In this case the user's prior resolution will
