2a9dedef2e index: make index.threads=true enable ieot and eoie
If a user explicitly sets

	[index]
		threads = true

to read the index using multiple threads, ensure that index writes
include the offset table by default to make that possible.  This
ensures that the user's intent of turning on threading is respected.

In other words, permit the following configurations:

- index.threads and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified: do not write
  the offset table yet (to avoid alarming the user with "ignoring IEOT
  extension" messages when an older version of Git accesses the
  repository) but do make use of multiple threads to read the index if
  the supporting offset table is present.

  This can also be requested explicitly by setting index.threads=true,
  0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable=false.

- index.threads=false or 1: do not write the offset table, and do not
  make use of the offset table.

  One can set index.recordOffsetTable=false as well, to be more
  explicit.

- index.threads=true, 0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified:
  write the offset table and make use of threads at read time.

  This can also be requested by setting index.threads=true, 0, >1, or
  unspecified and index.recordOffsetTable=true.

Fortunately the complication is temporary: once most Git installations
have upgraded to a version with support for the IEOT and EOIE
extensions, we can flip the defaults for index.recordEndOfIndexEntries
and index.recordOffsetTable to true and eliminate the settings.

e66ceca94b clone: fix colliding file detection on APFS
Commit b878579ae7 (clone: report duplicate entries on case-insensitive
filesystems - 2018-08-17) adds a warning to user when cloning a repo
with case-sensitive file names on a case-insensitive file system. The
"find duplicate file" check was doing by comparing inode number (and
only fall back to fspathcmp() when inode is known to be unreliable
because fspathcmp() can't cover all case folding cases).

The inode check is very simple, and wrong. It compares between a
32-bit number (sd_ino) and potentially a 64-bit number (st_ino). When
an inode is larger than 2^32 (which seems to be the case for APFS), it
will be truncated and stored in sd_ino, but comparing with itself will
fail.

As a result, instead of showing a pair of files that have the same
name, we show just one file (marked before the beginning of the
loop). We fail to find the original one.

The fix could be just a simple type cast (*)

    dup->ce_stat_data.sd_ino == (unsigned int)st->st_ino

but this is no longer a reliable test, there are 4G possible inodes
that can match sd_ino because we only match the lower 32 bits instead
of full 64 bits.

There are two options to go. Either we ignore inode and go with
fspathcmp() on Apple platform. This means we can't do accurate inode
check on HFS anymore, or even on APFS when inode numbers are still
below 2^32.

Or we just to to reduce the odds of matching a wrong file by checking
more attributes, counting mostly on st_size because st_xtime is likely
the same. This patch goes with this direction, hoping that false
positive chances are too small to be seen in practice.

While at there, enable the test on Cygwin (verified working by Ramsay
Jones)

(*) this is also already done inside match_stat_data()

3949053617 pack-objects: fix off-by-one in delta-island tree-depth computation
When delta-islands are in use, we need to record the deepest path at
which we find each tree and blob. Our loop to do so counts slashes, so
"foo" is depth 0, "foo/bar" is depth 1, and so on.

However, this neglects root trees, which are represented by the empty
string. Those also have depth 0, but are at a layer above "foo". Thus,
"foo" should be 1, "foo/bar" at 2, and so on. We use this depth to
topo-sort the trees in resolve_tree_islands(). As a result, we may fail
to visit a root tree before the sub-trees it contains, and therefore not
correctly pass down the island marks.

That in turn could lead to missing some delta opportunities (objects are
in the same island, but we didn't realize it) or creating unwanted
cross-island deltas (one object is in an island another isn't, but we
don't realize). In practice, it seems to have only a small effect.  Some
experiments on the real-world git/git fork network at GitHub showed an
improvement of only 0.14% in the resulting clone size.

e159b81071 pack-objects: zero-initialize tree_depth/layer arrays
Commit 108f530385 (pack-objects: move tree_depth into 'struct
packing_data', 2018-08-16) started maintaining a tree_depth array that
matches the "objects" array. We extend the array when:

  1. The objects array is extended, in which case we use realloc to
     extend the tree_depth array.

  2. A caller asks to store a tree_depth for object N, and this is the
     first such request; we create the array from scratch and store the
     value for N.

In the latter case, though, we use regular xmalloc(), and the depth
values for any objects besides N is undefined. This happens to not
trigger a bug with the current code, but the reasons are quite subtle:

 - we never ask about the depth for any object with index i < N. This is
   because we store the depth immediately for all trees and blobs. So
   any such "i" must be a non-tree, and therefore we will never need to
   care about its depth (in fact, we really only care about the depth of
   trees).

 - there are no objects at this point with index i > N, because we
   always fill in the depth for a tree immediately after its object
   entry is created (we may still allocate uninitialized depth entries,
   but they'll be initialized by packlist_alloc() when it initializes
   the entry in the "objects" array).

So it works, but only by chance. To be defensive, let's zero the array,
which matches the "unset" values which would be handed out by
oe_tree_depth() already.

bc35ac1a6a pack-objects: fix tree_depth and layer invariants
Commit 108f530385 (pack-objects: move tree_depth into 'struct
packing_data', 2018-08-16) dynamically manages a tree_depth array in
packing_data that maintains one of these invariants:

  1. tree_depth is NULL (i.e., the requested options don't require us to
     track tree depths)

  2. tree_depth is non-NULL and has as many entries as the "objects"
     array

We maintain (2) by:

  a. When the objects array grows, grow tree_depth to the same size
     (unless it's NULL, in which case we can leave it).

  b. When a caller asks to set a depth via oe_set_tree_depth(), if
     tree_depth is NULL we allocate it.

But in (b), we use the number of stored objects, _not_ the allocated
size of the objects array. So we can run into a situation like this:

  1. packlist_alloc() needs to store the Nth object, so it grows the
     objects array to M, where M > N.

  2. oe_set_tree_depth() wants to store a depth, so it allocates an
     array of length N. Now we've violated our invariant.

  3. packlist_alloc() needs to store the N+1th object. But it _doesn't_
     grow the objects array, since N <= M still holds. We try to assign
     to tree_depth[N+1], which is out of bounds.

That doesn't happen in our test scripts, because the repositories they
use are so small, but it's easy to trigger by running:

  echo HEAD | git pack-objects --revs --delta-islands --stdout >/dev/null

in any reasonably-sized repo (like git.git).

We can fix it by always growing the array to match pack->nr_alloc, not
pack->nr_objects. Likewise for the "layer" array from fe0ac2fb7f
(pack-objects: move 'layer' into 'struct packing_data', 2018-08-16),
which has the same bug.

4d86503eed rebase: warn about the correct tree's OID
This was a simple copy/paste error, and an obvious one at that: if we
cannot fill the tree descriptor, we should show an error message about
*that* tree, not another one.

429160544d ieot: default to not writing IEOT section
As with EOIE, popular versions of Git do not support the new IEOT
extension yet.  When accessing a Git repository written by a more
modern version of Git, they correctly ignore the unrecognized section,
but in the process they loudly warn

	ignoring IEOT extension

resulting in confusion for users.  Introduce the index extension more
gently by not writing it yet in this first version with support for
it.  Soon, once sufficiently many users are running a modern version
of Git, we can flip the default so users benefit from this index
extension by default.

Introduce a '[index] recordOffsetTable' configuration variable to
control whether the new index extension is written.

d8465500c3 eoie: default to not writing EOIE section
Since 3b1d9e04 (eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension,
2018-10-10) Git defaults to writing the new EOIE section when writing
out an index file.  Usually that is a good thing because it improves
threaded performance, but when a Git repository is shared with older
versions of Git, it produces a confusing warning:

  $ git status
  ignoring EOIE extension
  HEAD detached at 371ed0defa
  nothing to commit, working tree clean

Let's introduce the new index extension more gently.  First we'll roll
out the new version of Git that understands it, and then once
sufficiently many users are using such a version, we can flip the
default to writing it by default.

Introduce a '[index] recordEndOfIndexEntries' configuration variable
to allow interested users to benefit from this index extension early.
