"git repack --max-pack-size=8g" stopped being parsed correctly when
the command was reimplemented in C.
* sb/repack-in-c:
repack: propagate pack-objects options as strings
repack: make parsed string options const-correct
repack: fix typo in max-pack-size option
In the original shell version of git-repack, any options
destined for pack-objects were left as strings, and passed
as a whole. Since the C rewrite in commit a1bbc6c (repack:
rewrite the shell script in C, 2013-09-15), we now parse
these values to integers internally, then reformat the
integers when passing the option to pack-objects.
This has the advantage that we catch format errors earlier
(i.e., when repack is invoked, rather than when pack-objects
is invoked).
It has three disadvantages, though:
1. Our internal data types may not be the right size. In
the case of "--window-memory" and "--max-pack-size",
these are "unsigned long" in pack-objects, but we can
only represent a regular "int".
2. Our parsing routines might not be the same as those of
pack-objects. For the two options above, pack-objects
understands "100m" to mean "100 megabytes", but repack
does not.
3. We have to keep a sentinel value to know whether it is
worth passing the option along. In the case of
"--window-memory", we currently do not pass it if the
value is "0". But that is a meaningful value to
pack-objects, where it overrides any configured value.
We can fix all of these by simply passing the strings from
the user along to pack-objects verbatim. This does not
actually fix anything for "--depth" or "--window", but these
are converted, too, for consistency.

When we use OPT_STRING to parse an option, we get back a
pointer into the argv array, which should be "const char *".
The compiler doesn't notice because it gets passed through a
"void *" in the option struct.

When we see "--max-pack-size", we accidentally propagated
this to pack-objects as "--max_pack_size", which does not
work at all.

Its value is the same as the number of entries in the "names"
string_list, so just use "names.nr" in its place.

During the review process of the previous commit (repack: rewrite the
shell script in C), Johannes Sixt proposed to retain any exit codes from
the sub-process, which makes it probably more obvious in case of failure.
As the commit before should behave as close to the original shell
script, the proposed change is put in this extra commit.
The infrastructure however was already setup in the previous commit.

The motivation of this patch is to get closer to a goal of being
able to have a core subset of git functionality built in to git.
That would mean
* people on Windows could get a copy of at least the core parts
of Git without having to install a Unix-style shell
* people using git in on servers with chrooted environments
do not need to worry about standard tools lacking for shell
scripts.
This patch is meant to be mostly a literal translation of the
git-repack script; the intent is that later patches would start using
more library facilities, but this patch is meant to be as close to a
no-op as possible so it doesn't do that kind of thing.
