When creating a new pack to be used in .git/objects/pack/
directory, we carefully count the depth of deltified objects to
be reused, so that the generated pack does not to exceed the
specified depth limit for runtime efficiency. However, when we
are generating a thin pack that does not contain base objects,
such a pack can only be used during network transfer that is
expanded on the other end upon reception, so being careful and
artificially cutting the delta chain does not buy us anything
except increased bandwidth requirement. This patch disables the
delta chain depth limit check when reusing an existing delta.

This lowers the default merge threshold score to 75% from
earlier 80%. The break threshold stays the same at 50% for now,
but we might want to revisit it (and the rename detection limit
as well).
* break score: this much edit (both insertion of new material
and deletion of old material) needs to be there in the file
before we consider this _might_ be a rewrite and break the
filepair.
* merge score: after a filepair is broken by the above criteria
and goes through rename detection, if their pieces did not
match with other files as rename/copy, we merge them back
into one as if nothing happened. If the filepair had at
least this much deletion of old material, however, we say
this is completely rewritten with dissimilarity index X% when
we do so.
The updated delta code by Nico is so good that what we earlier
thought to be complete rewrite now reuses a lot more from the
source material (reducing the counted "delete"), so this
adjustment is needed to keep the perceived behaviour similar to
what we had earlier.

With the finer grained delta algorithm, count-delta algorithm
started overcounting copied source material, since the new delta
output tends to reuse the same source range more than once and
more aggressively. This broke an earlier assumption that the
number of bytes copied out from the source buffer is a good
approximation how much source material is actually remaining in
the result.
This uses fairly inefficient algorithm to keep track of ranges
of source material that are actually copied out to the
destination buffer. With this tweak, the obvious rename/break
detection tests in the testsuite start to work again.

This uses the same hashing algorithm to the "preferred base

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.

This adds a git-rm command which provides convenience similar to
git-add, (and a bit more since it takes care of the rm as well if
given -f).
Like git-add, git-rm expands the given path names through
git-ls-files. This means it only acts on files listed in the
index. And it does act recursively on directories by default, (no -r
needed as in the case of rm itself). When it recurses, it does not
remove empty directories that are left behind.

Unless --no-tags flag was given, git-fetch tried to always
follow remote tags that point at the commits we picked up.
It is not very useful to pick up tags from remote unless storing
the fetched branch head in a local tracking branch. This is
especially true if the fetch is done to merge the remote branch
into our current branch as one-shot basis (i.e. "please pull"),
and is even harmful if the remote repository has many irrelevant
tags.
This proposed update disables the automated tag following unless
we are storing the a fetched branch head in a local tracking
branch.

"empty ident not allowed" error makes commit-tree fail, so we
are already safer in that we would not end up with commit
objects that have bogus names on the author or committer fields.
However, before commit-tree is called there are already changes
made to the index file and the working tree. The operation can
be resumed after fixing the environment problem, but when this
triggers to a newcomer with unusable gecos, the first question
becomes "what did I lose and how would I recover".

commits before doing much damage to prevent confusion.

Previous one warned people upfront to encourage fixing their

there is not much point insisting on them having a usable ident.

asks for the ident explicitly or "commit-tree" wants to use it.

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.

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.

The real problem triggered an earlier fix was that an alternate
entry was pointing at a removed directory. Complaining on
object/pack directory that cannot be opendir-ed produces noise
in an ancient repository that does not have object/pack
directory and has never been packed.
Detect the real user error and report it. Also if opendir
failed for other reasons (e.g. no read permissions), report that
as well.

git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.
Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.
Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.
In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.
This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.
