Mark A Rada cbdefb5ac4 gitweb: add support for XZ compressed snapshots
The XZ compression format uses the LZMA2 compression algorithm, which
often yields higher compression ratios than both GZip and BZip2 at the
cost of using more CPU time and RAM. XZ is the slowest for compression,
but still much faster than BZip2 for decompression, almost comparable
to GZip (see benchmarks below).

Some simple benchmarks show the pros and cons of using XZ compression;
starting with an already tarball'd archive of the repos listed below.
Memory usage seemed to be consistent for any given algorithm at their
respective default compression levels.

From a time and memory perspective, nothing compares to GZip, but if
given an average upload speed of 20KB/s, it would take ~400 seconds
longer to transfer the BZip2'd kernel snapshot than the XZ snapshot;
the transfer time difference is even greater between GZip and XZ. The
real time savings are relatively the same for all test cases, but less
dramatic for smaller repositories.

XZ decompresses ~1.8-2 times slower than GZip, and ~2.7-3.75 times
faster than BZip2; XZ gets relatively faster as snapshots get larger.
However, XZ takes relatively longer to compress as snapshots get larger.

The downside for XZ'd snapshots is the large CPU and memory load put on
the server to generate the compressed snapshot, though XZ will
eventually
have threading support, and the real clock time for making XZ'd
snapshots
would decrease if the server had a beefy multi-core CPU.

XZ compression is disabled by default to allow upgrades to take place
without any surprises, as the CPU and memory requirements will be an
issue for high load or lightweight servers. Also, the XZ format is still
new (format declared stable ~6 months ago), and there have been no
"stable" releases of the utils yet.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	GIT - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.

The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
