9b8d731995 Merge branch 'cb/open-noatime-clear-errno'
When trying to see that an object does not exist, a state errno
leaked from our "first try to open a packfile with O_NOATIME and
then if it fails retry without it" logic on a system that refuses
O_NOATIME.  This confused us and caused us to die, saying that the
packfile is unreadable, when we should have just reported that the
object does not exist in that packfile to the caller.

0a489b0680 prepare_packed_git(): refactor garbage reporting in pack directory
The hook to report "garbage" files in $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack/
could be generic but is too specific to count-object's needs.

Move the part to produce human-readable messages to count-objects,
and refine the interface to callback with the "bits" with values
defined in the cache.h header file, so that other callers (e.g.
prune) can later use the same mechanism to enumerate different
kinds of garbage files and do something intelligent about them,
other than reporting in textual messages.

dff6f280df git_open_noatime: return with errno=0 on success
In read_sha1_file_extended we die if read_object fails with a fatal
error. We detect a fatal error if errno is non-zero and is not
ENOENT. If the object could not be read because it does not exist,
this is not considered a fatal error and we want to return NULL.

Somewhere down the line, read_object calls git_open_noatime to open
a pack index file, for example. We first try open with O_NOATIME.
If O_NOATIME fails with EPERM, we retry without O_NOATIME. When the
second open succeeds, errno is however still set to EPERM from the
first attempt. When we finally determine that the object does not
exist, read_object returns NULL and read_sha1_file_extended dies
with a fatal error:

    fatal: failed to read object <sha1>: Operation not permitted

Fix this by resetting errno to zero before we call open again.

094c7e6352 prune: close directory earlier during loose-object directory traversal
27e1e22d (prune: factor out loose-object directory traversal, 2014-10-16)
introduced a new function for_each_loose_file_in_objdir() with a helper
for_each_file_in_obj_subdir(). The latter calls callbacks for each file
found during a directory traversal and finally also a callback for the
directory itself.

git-prune uses the function to clean up the object directory. In
particular, in the directory callback it calls rmdir(). On Windows XP,
this rmdir call fails, because the directory is still open while the
callback is called. Close the directory before calling the callback.

77b9b1d13a add_to_alternates_file: don't add duplicate entries
The add_to_alternates_file function blindly uses
hold_lock_file_for_append to copy the existing contents, and
then adds the new line to it. This has two minor problems:

  1. We might add duplicate entries, which are ugly and
     inefficient.

  2. We do not check that the file ends with a newline, in
     which case we would bogusly append to the final line.
     This is quite unlikely in practice, though, as we call
     this function only from git-clone, so presumably we are
     the only writers of the file (and we always add a
     newline).

Instead of using hold_lock_file_for_append, let's copy the
file line by line, which ensures all records are properly
terminated. If we see an extra line, we can simply abort the
update (there is no point in even copying the rest, as we
know that it would be identical to the original).

As a bonus, we also get rid of some calls to the
static-buffer mkpath and git_path functions.

cb5add5868 sha1_file.c: rename move_temp_to_file() to finalize_object_file()
Since 5a688fe4 ("core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not
loosen, 2009-03-25), we kept reminding ourselves:

    NEEDSWORK: this should be renamed to finalize_temp_file() as
    "moving" is only a part of what it does, when no patch between
    master to pu changes the call sites of this function.

without doing anything about it.  Let's do so.

The purpose of this function was not to move but to finalize.  The
detail of the primarily implementation of finalizing was to link the
temporary file to its final name and then to unlink, which wasn't
even "moving".  The alternative implementation did "move" by calling
rename(2), which is a fun tangent.

3096b2ecdb check_and_freshen_file: fix reversed success-check
When we want to write out a loose object file, we have
always first made sure we don't already have the object
somewhere. Since 33d4221 (write_sha1_file: freshen existing
objects, 2014-10-15), we also update the timestamp on the
file, so that a simultaneous prune knows somebody is
likely to reference it soon.

If our utime() call fails, we treat this the same as not
having the object in the first place; the safe thing to do
is write out another copy. However, the loose-object check
accidentally inverts the utime() check; it returns failure
_only_ when the utime() call actually succeeded. Thus it was
failing to protect us there, and in the normal case where
utime() succeeds, it caused us to pointlessly write out and
link the object.

This passed our freshening tests, because writing out the
new object is certainly _one_ way of updating its utime. So
the normal case was inefficient, but not wrong.

While we're here, let's also drop a comment in front of the
check_and_freshen functions, making a note of their return
type (since it is not our usual "0 for success, -1 for
error").

f813e9ea5f for_each_packed_object: automatically open pack index
When for_each_packed_object is called, we call
prepare_packed_git() to make sure we have the actual list of
packs. But the latter does not actually open the pack
indices, meaning that pack->nr_objects may simply be 0 if
the pack has not otherwise been used since the program
started.

In practice, this didn't come up for the current callers,
because they iterate the packed objects only after iterating
all reachable objects (so for it to matter you would have to
have a pack consisting only of unreachable objects). But it
is a dangerous and confusing interface that should be fixed
for future callers.

Note that we do not end the iteration when a pack cannot be
opened, but we do return an error. That lets you complete
the iteration even in actively-repacked repository where an
.idx file may racily go away, but it also lets callers know
that they may not have gotten the complete list (which the
current reachability-check caller does care about).

We have to tweak one of the prune tests due to the changed
return value; an earlier test creates bogus .idx files and
does not clean them up. Having to make this tweak is a good
thing; it means we will not prune in a broken repository,
and the test confirms that we do not negatively impact a
more lenient caller, count-objects.

0eeb077be7 index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory
Since 45e8a74 (has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before
giving up, 2013-08-30), we spend extra effort for
has_sha1_file to give the right answer when somebody else is
repacking. Usually this effort does not matter, because
after finding that the object does not exist, the next step
is usually to die().

However, some code paths make a large number of
has_sha1_file checks which are _not_ expected to return 1.
The collision test in index-pack.c is such a case. On a
local system, this can cause a performance slowdown of
around 5%. But on a system with high-latency system calls
(like NFS), it can be much worse.

This patch introduces a "quick" flag to has_sha1_file which
callers can use when they would prefer high performance at
the cost of false negatives during repacks. There may be
other code paths that can use this, but the index-pack one
is the most obviously critical, so we'll start with
switching that one.

1570856b51 config.c: avoid xmmap error messages
The config-writing code uses xmmap to map the existing
config file, which will die if the map fails. This has two
downsides:

  1. The error message is not very helpful, as it lacks any
     context about the file we are mapping:

       $ mkdir foo
       $ git config --file=foo some.key value
       fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device

  2. We normally do not die in this code path; instead, we'd
     rather report the error and return an appropriate exit
     status (which is part of the public interface
     documented in git-config.1).

This patch introduces a "gentle" form of xmmap which lets us
produce our own error message. We do not want to use mmap
directly, because we would like to use the other
compatibility elements of xmmap (e.g., handling 0-length
maps portably).

The end result is:

    $ git.compile config --file=foo some.key value
    error: unable to mmap 'foo': No such device
    $ echo $?

f6a1e1e288 sha1_file: pass empty buffer to index empty file
`git add` of an empty file with a filter pops complaints from
`copy_fd` about a bad file descriptor.

This traces back to these lines in sha1_file.c:index_core:

	if (!size) {
		ret = index_mem(sha1, NULL, size, type, path, flags);

The problem here is that content to be added to the index can be
supplied from an fd, or from a memory buffer, or from a pathname. This
call is supplying a NULL buffer pointer and a zero size.

Downstream logic takes the complete absence of a buffer to mean the
data is to be found elsewhere -- for instance, these, from convert.c:

	if (params->src) {
		write_err = (write_in_full(child_process.in, params->src, params->size) < 0);
	} else {
		write_err = copy_fd(params->fd, child_process.in);
	}

~If there's a buffer, write from that, otherwise the data must be coming
from an open fd.~

Perfectly reasonable logic in a routine that's going to write from
either a buffer or an fd.

So change `index_core` to supply an empty buffer when indexing an empty
file.

There's a patch out there that instead changes the logic quoted above to
take a `-1` fd to mean "use the buffer", but it seems to me that the
distinction between a missing buffer and an empty one carries intrinsic
semantics, where the logic change is adapting the code to handle
incorrect arguments.

46f034483e sha1_file: support reading from a loose object of unknown type
Update sha1_loose_object_info() to optionally allow it to read
from a loose object file of unknown/bogus type; as the function
usually returns the type of the object it read in the form of enum
for known types, add an optional "typename" field to receive the
name of the type in textual form and a flag to indicate the reading
of a loose object file of unknown/bogus type.

Add parse_sha1_header_extended() which acts as a wrapper around
parse_sha1_header() allowing more information to be obtained.

Add unpack_sha1_header_to_strbuf() to unpack sha1 headers of
unknown/corrupt objects which have a unknown sha1 header size to
a strbuf structure. This was written by Junio C Hamano but tested
by me.

1427a7ff70 write_sha1_file(): do not use a separate sha1[] array
In the beginning, write_sha1_file() did not have a way to tell the
caller the name of the object it wrote to the caller.  This was
changed in d6d3f9d0 (This implements the new "recursive tree"
write-tree., 2005-04-09) by adding the "returnsha1" parameter to the
function so that the callers who are interested in the value can
optionally pass a pointer to receive it.

It turns out that all callers do want to know the name of the object
it just has written.  Nobody passes a NULL to this parameter, hence
it is not necessary to use a separate sha1[] array to receive the
result from  write_sha1_file_prepare(), and copy the result to the
returnsha1 supplied by the caller.

"hash-object" learned in 5ba9a93 (hash-object: add --literally
option, 2014-09-11) to allow crafting a corrupt/broken object of

When the user-provided type is particularly long, however, it can
overflow the relatively small stack-based character array handed to
write_sha1_file_prepare() by hash_sha1_file() and write_sha1_file(),
leading to stack corruption (and crash).  Introduce a custom helper
to allow arbitrarily long typenames just for "hash-object --literally".

I rewrote it to avoid penalizing the non-literally code. Bugs are mine]

ee1c6c34ac sha1_file: only freshen packs once per run
Since 33d4221 (write_sha1_file: freshen existing objects,
2014-10-15), we update the mtime of existing objects that we
would have written out (had they not existed). For the
common case in which many objects are packed, we may update
the mtime on a single packfile repeatedly. This can result
in a noticeable performance problem if calling utime() is
expensive (e.g., because your storage is on NFS).

We can fix this by keeping a per-pack flag that lets us
freshen only once per program invocation.

An alternative would be to keep the packed_git.mtime flag up
to date as we freshen, and freshen only once every N
seconds. In practice, it's not worth the complexity. We are
racing against prune expiration times here, which inherently

b5f52f372e sha1_file: freshen pack objects before loose
When writing out an object file, we first check whether it
already exists and if so optimize out the write. Prior to
33d4221, we did this by calling has_sha1_file(), which will
check for packed objects followed by loose. Since that
commit, we check loose objects first.

For the common case of a repository whose objects are mostly
packed, this means we will make a lot of extra access()
system calls checking for loose objects. We should follow
the same packed-then-loose order that all of our other
lookups use.

1385bb7ba3 reachable: only mark local objects as recent
When pruning and repacking a repository that has an
alternate object store configured, we may traverse a large
number of objects in the alternate. This serves no purpose,
and may be expensive to do. A longer explanation is below.

Commits d3038d2 and abcb865 taught prune and pack-objects
(respectively) to treat "recent" objects as tips for
reachability, so that we keep whole chunks of history. They
built on the object traversal in 660c889 (sha1_file: add
for_each iterators for loose and packed objects,
2014-10-15), which covers both local and alternate objects.

In both cases, covering alternate objects is unnecessary, as
both commands can only drop objects from the local
repository. In the case of prune, we traverse only the local
object directory. And in the case of repacking, while we may
or may not include local objects in our pack, we will never
reach into the alternate with "repack -d". The "-l" option
is only a question of whether we are migrating objects from
the alternate into our repository, or leaving them
untouched.

It is possible that we may drop an object that is depended
upon by another object in the alternate. For example,
imagine two repositories, A and B, with A pointing to B as
an alternate. Now imagine a commit that is in B which
references a tree that is only in A. Traversing from recent
objects in B might prevent A from dropping that tree. But
this case isn't worth covering. Repo B should take
responsibility for its own objects. It would never have had
the commit in the first place if it did not also have the
tree, and assuming it is using the same "keep recent chunks
of history" scheme, then it would itself keep the tree, as
well.

So checking the alternate objects is not worth doing, and
come with a significant performance impact. In both cases,
we skip any recent objects that have already been marked
SEEN (i.e., that we know are already reachable for prune, or
included in the pack for a repack). So there is a slight
waste of time in opening the alternate packs at all, only to
notice that we have already considered each object. But much
worse, the alternate repository may have a large number of
objects that are not reachable from the local repository at
all, and we end up adding them to the traversal.

We can fix this by considering only local unseen objects.

319b678a7b sha1_file: squelch "packfile cannot be accessed" warnings
When we find an object in a packfile index, we make sure we
can still open the packfile itself (or that it is already
open), as it might have been deleted by a simultaneous
repack. If we can't access the packfile, we print a warning
for the user and tell the caller that we don't have the
object (we can then look in other packfiles, or find a loose
version, before giving up).

The warning we print to the user isn't really accomplishing
anything, and it is potentially confusing to users. In the
normal case, it is complete noise; we find the object
elsewhere, and the user does not have to care that we racily
saw a packfile index that became stale. It didn't affect the
operation at all.

A possibly more interesting case is when we later can't find
the object, and report failure to the user. In this case the
warning could be considered a clue toward that ultimate
failure. But it's not really a useful clue in practice. We
wouldn't even print it consistently (since we are racing
with another process, we might not even see the .idx file,
or we might win the race and open the packfile, completing
the operation).

This patch drops the warning entirely (not only from the
fill_pack_entry site, but also from an identical use in
pack-objects). If we did find the warning interesting in the
error case, we could stuff it away and reveal it to the user
when we later die() due to the broken object. But that
complexity just isn't worth it.

b0a4264277 sha1_file: fix iterating loose alternate objects
The string in 'base' contains a path suffix to a specific object;
when its value is used, the suffix must either be filled (as in
stat_sha1_file, open_sha1_file, check_and_freshen_nonlocal) or
cleared (as in prepare_packed_git) to avoid junk at the end.

660c889e (sha1_file: add for_each iterators for loose and packed
objects, 2014-10-15) introduced loose_from_alt_odb(), but this did
neither and treated 'base' as a complete path to the "base" object
directory, instead of a pointer to the "base" of the full path
string.

The trailing path after 'base' is still initialized to NUL, hiding
the bug in some common cases.  Additionally the descendent
for_each_file_in_obj_subdir() function swallows ENOENT, so an error
only shows if the alternate's path was last filled with a valid
object (where statting /path/to/existing/00/0bjectfile/00 fails).

dcf692625a path.c: make get_pathname() call sites return const char *
Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX
length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the
whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory.

After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just
enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never
write beyond that.

Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const
buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all.

33d4221c79 write_sha1_file: freshen existing objects
When we try to write a loose object file, we first check
whether that object already exists. If so, we skip the
write as an optimization. However, this can interfere with
prune's strategy of using mtimes to mark files in progress.

For example, if a branch contains a particular tree object
and is deleted, that tree object may become unreachable, and
have an old mtime. If a new operation then tries to write
the same tree, this ends up as a noop; we notice we
already have the object and do nothing. A prune running
simultaneously with this operation will see the object as
old, and may delete it.

We can solve this by "freshening" objects that we avoid
writing by updating their mtime. The algorithm for doing so
is essentially the same as that of has_sha1_file. Therefore
we provide a new (static) interface "check_and_freshen",
which finds and optionally freshens the object. It's trivial
to implement freshening and simple checking by tweaking a
single parameter.

27e1e22d5e prune: factor out loose-object directory traversal
Prune has to walk $GIT_DIR/objects/?? in order to find the
set of loose objects to prune. Other parts of the code
(e.g., count-objects) want to do the same. Let's factor it
out into a reusable for_each-style function.

Note that this is not quite a straight code movement. The
original code had strange behavior when it found a file of
the form "[0-9a-f]{2}/.{38}" that did _not_ contain all hex
digits. It executed a "break" from the loop, meaning that we
stopped pruning in that directory (but still pruned other
directories!). This was probably a bug; we do not want to
process the file as an object, but we should keep going
otherwise (and that is how the new code handles it).

We are also a little more careful with loose object
directories which fail to open. The original code silently
ignored any failures, but the new code will complain about
any problems besides ENOENT.

9035d75a2b convert: stream from fd to required clean filter to reduce used address space
The data is streamed to the filter process anyway.  Better avoid mapping
the file if possible.  This is especially useful if a clean filter
reduces the size, for example if it computes a sha1 for binary data,
like git media.  The file size that the previous implementation could
handle was limited by the available address space; large files for
example could not be handled with (32-bit) msysgit.  The new
implementation can filter files of any size as long as the filter output
is small enough.

The new code path is only taken if the filter is required.  The filter
consumes data directly from the fd.  If it fails, the original data is
not immediately available.  The condition can easily be handled as
a fatal error, which is expected for a required filter anyway.

If the filter was not required, the condition would need to be handled
in a different way, like seeking to 0 and reading the data.  But this
would require more restructuring of the code and is probably not worth
it.  The obvious approach of falling back to reading all data would not
help achieving the main purpose of this patch, which is to handle large
files with limited address space.  If reading all data is an option, we
can simply take the old code path right away and mmap the entire file.

The environment variable GIT_MMAP_LIMIT, which has been introduced in
a previous commit is used to test that the expected code path is taken.
A related test that exercises required filters is modified to verify
that the data actually has been modified on its way from the file system
to the object store.

80b47854ca sha1_file: avoid overrunning alternate object base string
While checking if a new alternate object database is a duplicate make
sure that old and new base paths have the same length before comparing
them with memcmp.  This avoids overrunning the buffer of the existing
entry if the new one is longer and it stops rejecting foobar/ after
foo/ was already added.

47bf4b0fc5 prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check
When we are reloading the list of packs, we check whether a
particular pack has been loaded. This is slightly tricky,
because we load packs based on the presence of their ".idx"
files, but record the name of the matching ".pack" file.
Therefore we want to compare their bases.

The existing code stripped off ".idx" from a file we found,
then compared that whole base length to strings containing
the ".pack" version. This meant we could end up comparing
bytes past what the ".pack" string contained, if the ".idx"
file name was much longer.

In practice, it worked OK because memcmp would end up seeing
a difference in the two strings and would return early
before hitting the full length. However, memcmp may
sometimes read extra bytes past a difference (e.g., because
it is comparing 64-bit words), or is even free to compare in
reverse order.

Furthermore, our memcmp made no guarantees that we matched
the whole pack name, up to ".pack". So "foo.idx" would match
"foo-bar.pack", which is wrong (but does not typically
happen, because our pack names have a fixed size).

We can fix both issues, avoid magic numbers, and document
that we expect to compare against a string with ".pack" by
using strip_suffix.

2975c770ca replace has_extension with ends_with
These two are almost the same function, with the exception
that has_extension only matches if there is content before
the suffix. So ends_with(".exe", ".exe") is true, but
has_extension would not be.

This distinction does not matter to any of the callers,
though, and we can just replace uses of has_extension with
ends_with. We prefer the "ends_with" name because it is more
generic, and there is nothing about the function that
requires it to be used for file extensions.

d6c8a05bd5 open_sha1_file: report "most interesting" errno
When we try to open a loose object file, we first attempt to
open in the local object database, and then try any
alternates. This means that the errno value when we return
will be from the last place we looked (and due to the way
the code is structured, simply ENOENT if we do not have have
any alternates).

This can cause confusing error messages, as read_sha1_file
checks for ENOENT when reporting a missing object. If errno
is something else, we report that. If it is ENOENT, but
has_loose_object reports that we have it, then we claim the
object is corrupted. For example:

    $ chmod 0 .git/objects/??/*
    $ git rev-list --all
    fatal: loose object b2d6fab18b92d49eac46dc3c5a0bcafabda20131 (stored in .git/objects/b2/d6fab18b92d49eac46dc3c5a0bcafabda20131) is corrupt

This patch instead keeps track of the "most interesting"
errno we receive during our search. We consider ENOENT to be
the least interesting of all, and otherwise report the first
error found (so problems in the object database take
precedence over ones in alternates). Here it is with this
patch:

    $ git rev-list --all
    fatal: failed to read object b2d6fab18b92d49eac46dc3c5a0bcafabda20131: Permission denied

1a6d8b9148 do not discard revindex when re-preparing packfiles
When an object lookup fails, we re-read the objects/pack
directory to pick up any new packfiles that may have been
created since our last read. We also discard any pack
revindex structs we've allocated.

The discarding is a problem for the pack-bitmap code, which keeps
a pointer to the revindex for the bitmapped pack. After the
discard, the pointer is invalid, and we may read free()d
memory.

Other revindex users do not keep a bare pointer to the
revindex; instead, they always access it through
revindex_for_pack(), which lazily builds the revindex. So
one solution is to teach the pack-bitmap code a similar
trick. It would be slightly less efficient, but probably not
all that noticeable.

However, it turns out this discarding is not actually
necessary. When we call reprepare_packed_git, we do not
throw away our old pack list. We keep the existing entries,
and only add in new ones. So there is no safety problem; we
will still have the pack struct that matches each revindex.
The packfile itself may go away, of course, but we are
already prepared to handle that, and it may happen outside
of reprepare_packed_git anyway.

Throwing away the revindex may save some RAM if the pack
never gets reused (about 12 bytes per object). But it also
wastes some CPU time (to regenerate the index) if the pack
does get reused. It's hard to say which is more valuable,
but in either case, it happens very rarely (only when we
race with a simultaneous repack). Just leaving the revindex
in place is simple and safe both for current and future
code.

18d37e860d safe_create_leading_directories(): add new error value SCLD_VANISHED
Add a new possible error result that can be returned by
safe_create_leading_directories() and
safe_create_leading_directories_const(): SCLD_VANISHED.  This value
indicates that a file or directory on the path existed at one point
(either it already existed or the function created it), but then it
disappeared.  This probably indicates that another process deleted the
directory while we were working.  If SCLD_VANISHED is returned, the
caller might want to retry the function call, as there is a chance
that a new attempt will succeed.

Why doesn't safe_create_leading_directories() do the retrying
internally?  Because an empty directory isn't really ever safe until
it holds a file.  So even if safe_create_leading_directories() were
absolutely sure that the directory existed before it returned, there
would be no guarantee that the directory still existed when the caller
tried to write something in it.

"foo//bar"), then the old code was breaking the path at the last
slash, not the first one.  So in the above example, the second slash
was overwritten with NUL, resulting in the parent directory being
sought as "foo/".

When stat() is called on "foo/", it fails with ENOTDIR if "foo" exists
but is not a directory.  This caused the wrong path to be taken in the
subsequent logic.

So instead, split path components at the first intercomponent slash
rather than the last one.

5d642e7506 sha1_object_info_extended: provide delta base sha1s
A caller of sha1_object_info_extended technically has enough
information to determine the base sha1 from the results of
the call. It knows the pack, offset, and delta type of the
object, which is sufficient to find the base.

However, the functions to do so are not publicly available,
and the code itself is intimate enough with the pack details
that it should be abstracted away. We could add a public
helper to allow callers to query the delta base separately,
but it is simpler and slightly more efficient to optionally
grab it along with the rest of the object_info data.

For cases where the object is not stored as a delta, we
write the null sha1 into the query field. A careful caller
could check "oi.whence == OI_PACKED && oi.u.packed.is_delta"
before looking at the base sha1, but using the null sha1
provides a simple alternative (and gives a better sanity
check for a non-careful caller than simply returning random
bytes).

sha1_object_info_extended() should perform object replacement

The simplest way to do that is to make it call

b039718d92 drop support for "experimental" loose objects
In git v1.4.3, we introduced a new loose object format that
encoded some object information outside of the zlib stream.
Ultimately the format was dropped in v1.5.3, but we kept the
reading side around to help people migrate objects. Each
time we open a loose object, we use a heuristic to check
whether it is in the normal loose format, or the
experimental one.

This heuristic is robust in the face of valid data, but it
tends to treat corrupted or garbage data as an experimental
object. With the regular format, we would notice quickly
that zlib's crc does not check out and complain. With the
experimental object, we are likely to extract a nonsensical
object size and try to allocate a huge buffer, resulting in
xmalloc calling "die".

This latter behavior is much worse, for two reasons. One,
git reports an allocation error when the real error is
corruption. And two, the program dies unconditionally, so
you cannot even run fsck (which would otherwise ignore the
broken object and keep going).

We could try to improve the heuristic to err on the side of
normal objects in the face of corruption, but there is
really little point. The experimental format is long-dead,
and was never enabled by default to begin with. We can
instead simply remove it. The only affected repository would
be one that explicitly set core.legacyheaders in 2007, and
then never repacked in the intervening 6 years.

b2476a60bd sha1_file.c:create_tmpfile(): Fix race when creating loose object dirs
There are cases (e.g. when running concurrent fetches in a repo) where
multiple Git processes concurrently attempt to create loose objects
within the same objects/XX/ dir. The creation of the loose object files
is (AFAICS) safe from races, but the creation of the objects/XX/ dir in
which the loose objects reside is unsafe, for example:

Two concurrent fetches - A and B. As part of its fetch, A needs to store
12aaaaa as a loose object. B, on the other hand, needs to store 12bbbbb
as a loose object. The objects/12 directory does not already exist.
Concurrently, both A and B determine that they need to create the
objects/12 directory (because their first call to git_mkstemp_mode()
within create_tmpfile() fails witn ENOENT). One of them - let's say A -
executes the following mkdir() call before the other. This first call
returns success, and A moves on. When B gets around to calling mkdir(),
it fails with EEXIST, because A won the race. The mkdir() error causes B
to return -1 from create_tmpfile(), which propagates all the way,
resulting in the fetch failing with:

  error: unable to create temporary file: File exists
  fatal: failed to write object
  fatal: unpack-objects failed

Although it's hard to add a testcase reproducing this issue, it's easy
to provoke if we insert a sleep after the

  if (mkdir(buffer, 0777) || adjust_shared_perm(buffer))
      return -1;

block, and then run two concurrent "git fetch"es against the same repo.

The fix is to simply handle mkdir() failing with EEXIST as a success.
If EEXIST is somehow returned for the wrong reasons (because the relevant
objects/XX is not a directory, or is otherwise unsuitable for object
storage), the following call to adjust_shared_perm(), or ultimately the
retried call to git_mkstemp_mode() will fail, and we end up returning
error from create_tmpfile() in any case.

Note that there are still cases where two users with unsuitable umasks
in a shared repo can end up in two races where one user first wins the
mkdir() race to create an objects/XX/ directory, and then the other user
wins the adjust_shared_perms() race to chmod() that directory, but fails
because it is (transiently, until the first users completes its chmod())
unwriteable to the other user. However, (an equivalent of) this race also
exists before this patch, and is made no worse by this patch.

45e8a74873 has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up
When we read a sha1 file, we first look for a packed
version, then a loose version, and then re-check the pack
directory again before concluding that we cannot find it.
This lets us handle a process that is writing to the
repository simultaneously (e.g., receive-pack writing a new
pack followed by a ref update, or git-repack packing
existing loose objects into a new pack).

However, we do not do the same trick with has_sha1_file; we
only check the packed objects once, followed by loose
objects. This means that we might incorrectly report that we
do not have an object, even though we could find it if we
simply re-checked the pack directory.

By itself, this is usually not a big deal. The other process
is running simultaneously, so we may run has_sha1_file
before it writes, anyway. It is a race whether we see the
object or not.  However, we may also see other things
the writing process has done (like updating refs); and in
that case, we must be able to also see the new objects.

For example, imagine we are doing a for_each_ref iteration,
and somebody simultaneously pushes. Receive-pack may write
the pack and update a ref after we have examined the
objects/pack directory, but before the iteration gets to the
updated ref. When we do finally see the updated ref,
for_each_ref will call has_sha1_file to check whether the
ref is broken. If has_sha1_file returns the wrong answer, we
erroneously will think that the ref is broken.

For a normal iteration without DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN,
this means that the caller does not see the ref at all
(neither the old nor the new value).  So not only will we
fail to see the new value of the ref (which is acceptable,
since we are running simultaneously with the writer, and we
might well read the ref before the writer commits its
write), but we will not see the old value either. For
programs that act on reachability like pack-objects or
prune, this can cause data loss, as we may see the objects
referenced by the original ref value as dangling (and either
omit them from the pack, or delete them via prune).

There's no test included here, because the success case is
two processes running simultaneously forever. But you can
replicate the issue with:

  # base.sh
  # run this in one terminal; it creates and pushes
  # repeatedly to a repository
  git init parent &&
  (cd parent &&

    # create a base commit that will trigger us looking at
    # the objects/pack directory before we hit the updated ref
    echo content >file &&
    git add file &&
    git commit -m base &&

    # set the unpack limit abnormally low, which
    # lets us simulate full-size pushes using tiny ones
    git config receive.unpackLimit 1
  ) &&
  git clone parent child &&
  cd child &&
  n=0 &&
  while true; do
    echo $n >file && git add file && git commit -m $n &&
    git push origin HEAD:refs/remotes/child/master &&
    n=$(($n + 1))
  done

  # fsck.sh
  # now run this simultaneously in another terminal; it
  # repeatedly fscks, looking for us to consider the
  # newly-pushed ref broken. We cannot use for-each-ref
  # here, as it uses DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN, which
  # skips the has_sha1_file check (and if it wants
  # more information on the object, it will actually read
  # the object, which does the proper two-step lookup)
  cd parent &&
  while true; do
    broken=`git fsck 2>&1 | grep remotes/child`
    if test -n "$broken"; then
      echo $broken
      exit 1
    fi
  done

Without this patch, the fsck loop fails within a few seconds
(and almost instantly if the test repository actually has a
large number of refs). With it, the two can run
indefinitely.

7c3ecb3254 Don't close pack fd when free'ing pack windows
Now that close_one_pack() has been introduced to handle file
descriptor pressure, it is not strictly necessary to close the
pack file descriptor in unuse_one_window() when we're under memory
pressure.

Jeff King provided a justification for leaving the pack file open:

   If you close packfile descriptors, you can run into racy situations
   where somebody else is repacking and deleting packs, and they go away
   while you are trying to access them. If you keep a descriptor open,
   you're fine; they last to the end of the process. If you don't, then
   they disappear from under you.

   For normal object access, this isn't that big a deal; we just rescan
   the packs and retry. But if you are packing yourself (e.g., because
   you are a pack-objects started by upload-pack for a clone or fetch),
   it's much harder to recover (and we print some warnings).

Let's do so (or uh, not do so).

88d0db5557 sha1_file: introduce close_one_pack() to close packs on fd pressure
When the number of open packs exceeds pack_max_fds, unuse_one_window()
is called repeatedly to attempt to release the least-recently-used
pack windows, which, as a side-effect, will also close a pack file
after closing its last open window.  If a pack file has been opened,
but no windows have been allocated into it, it will never be selected
by unuse_one_window() and hence its file descriptor will not be
closed.  When this happens, git may exceed the number of file
descriptors permitted by the system.

This latter situation can occur in show-ref or receive-pack during ref
advertisement.  During ref advertisement, receive-pack will iterate
over every ref in the repository and advertise it to the client after
ensuring that the ref exists in the local repository.  If the ref is
located inside a pack, then the pack is opened to ensure that it
exists, but since the object is not actually read from the pack, no
mmap windows are allocated.  When the number of open packs exceeds
pack_max_fds, unuse_one_window() will not be able to find any windows to
free and will not be able to close any packs.  Once the per-process
file descriptor limit is exceeded, receive-pack will produce a warning,
not an error, for each pack it cannot open, and will then most likely
fail with an error to spawn rev-list or index-pack like:

   error: cannot create standard input pipe for rev-list: Too many open files
   error: Could not run 'git rev-list'

This may also occur during upload-pack when refs are packed (in the
packed-refs file) and the number of packs that must be opened to
verify that these packed refs exist exceeds the file descriptor
limit.  If the refs are loose, then upload-pack will read each ref
from the object database (if the object is in a pack, allocating one
or more mmap windows for it) in order to peel tags and advertise the
underlying object.  But when the refs are packed and peeled,
upload-pack will use the peeled sha1 in the packed-refs file and
will not need to read from the pack files, so no mmap windows will
be allocated and just like with receive-pack, unuse_one_window()
will never select these opened packs to close.

When we have file descriptor pressure, we just need to find an open
pack to close.  We can leave the existing mmap windows open.  If
additional windows need to be mapped into the pack file, it will be
reopened when necessary.  If the pack file has been rewritten in the
mean time, open_packed_git_1() should notice when it compares the file
size or the pack's sha1 checksum to what was previously read from the
pack index, and reject it.

Let's introduce a new function close_one_pack() designed specifically
for this purpose to search for and close the least-recently-used pack,
where LRU is defined as (in order of preference):

   * pack with oldest mtime and no allocated mmap windows
   * pack with the least-recently-used windows, i.e. the pack
     with the oldest most-recently-used window, where none of
     the windows are in use
   * pack with the least-recently-used windows

5b0864070e sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation optional
Each caller of sha1_object_info_extended sets up an
object_info struct to tell the function which elements of
the object it wants to get. Until now, getting the type of
the object has always been required (and it is returned via
the return type rather than a pointer in object_info).

This can involve actually opening a loose object file to
determine its type, or following delta chains to determine a
packed file's base type. These effects produce a measurable
slow-down when doing a "cat-file --batch-check" that does
not include %(objecttype).

This patch adds a "typep" query to struct object_info, so
that it can be optionally queried just like size and
disk_size. As a result, the return type of the function is
no longer the object type, but rather 0/-1 for success/error.

As there are only three callers total, we just fix up each
caller rather than keep a compatibility wrapper:

  1. The simpler sha1_object_info wrapper continues to
     always ask for and return the type field.

  2. The istream_source function wants to know the type, and
     so always asks for it.

  3. The cat-file batch code asks for the type only when
     %(objecttype) is part of the format string.

On linux.git, the best-of-five for running:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'

on a fully packed repository goes from:

  real    0m8.680s
  user    0m8.160s
  sys     0m0.512s

to:

  real    0m7.205s

052fe5eaca sha1_loose_object_info: make type lookup optional
Until recently, the only items to request from
sha1_object_info_extended were type and size. This meant
that we always had to open a loose object file to determine
one or the other.  But with the addition of the disk_size
query, it's possible that we can fulfill the query without
even opening the object file at all. However, since the
function interface always returns the type, we have no way
of knowing whether the caller cares about it or not.

This patch only modified sha1_loose_object_info to make type
lookup optional using an out-parameter, similar to the way
the size is handled (and the return value is "0" or "-1" for
success or error, respectively).

There should be no functional change yet, though, as

f2f57e31f6 sha1_object_info_extended: rename "status" to "type"
The value we get from each low-level object_info function
(e.g., loose, packed) is actually the object type (or -1 for
error). Let's explicitly call it "type", which will make
further refactorings easier to read.

161f00e708 teach sha1_object_info_extended a "disk_size" query
Using sha1_object_info_extended, a caller can find out the
type of an object, its size, and information about where it
is stored. In addition to the object's "true" size, it can
also be useful to know the size that the object takes on
disk (e.g., to generate statistics about which refs consume
space).

This patch adds a "disk_sizep" field to "struct object_info",
and fills it in during sha1_object_info_extended if it is
non-NULL.

7c07385d90 zero-initialize object_info structs
The sha1_object_info_extended function expects the caller to
provide a "struct object_info" which contains pointers to
"query" items that will be filled in. The purpose of
providing pointers rather than storing the response directly
in the struct is so that callers can choose not to incur the
expense in finding particular fields that they do not care
about.

Right now the only query item is "sizep", and all callers
set it explicitly to choose whether or not to query it; they
can then leave the rest of the struct uninitialized.

However, as we add new query items, each caller will have to
be updated to explicitly turn off the new ones (by setting
them to NULL).  Instead, let's teach each caller to
zero-initialize the struct, so that they do not have to
learn about each new query item added.

1ee886c1f0 unpack_entry: do not die when we fail to apply a delta
When we try to load an object from disk and fail, our
general strategy is to see if we can get it from somewhere
else (e.g., a loose object). That lets users fix corruption
problems by copying known-good versions of objects into the
object database.

We already handle the case where we were not able to read
the delta from disk. However, when we find that the delta we
read does not apply, we simply die.  This case is harder to
trigger, as corruption in the delta data itself would
trigger a crc error from zlib.  However, a corruption that
pointed us at the wrong delta base might cause it.

We can do the same "fail and try to find the object
elsewhere" trick instead of dying. This not only gives us a
chance to recover, but also puts us on code paths that will
alert the user to the problem (with the current message,
they do not even know which sha1 caused the problem).

Note that unlike some other pack corruptions, we do not
recover automatically from this case when doing a repack.
There is nothing apparently wrong with the delta, as it
points to a valid, accessible object, and we realize the
error only when the resulting size does not match up. And in
theory, one could even have a case where the corrupted size
is the same, and the problem would only be noticed by
recomputing the sha1.

We can get around this by recomputing the deltas with
--no-reuse-delta, which our test does (and this is probably
good advice for anyone recovering from pack corruption).

dbea72a8c0 sha1_file: silence sha1_loose_object_info
sha1_object_info() returns -1 (OBJ_BAD) if it cannot find the object
for some reason, which suggests that it wants the _caller_ to report
this error.  However, part of its work happens in
sha1_loose_object_info, which _does_ report errors itself.  This is
doubly strange because:

* packed_object_info(), which is the other half of the duo, does _not_
  report this.

* In the event that an object is packed and pruned while
  sha1_object_info_extended() goes looking for it, we would
  erroneously show the error -- even though the code of the latter
  function purports to handle this case gracefully.

* A caller might invoke sha1_object_info() to find the type of an
  object even if that object is not known to exist.

Silence this error.  The others remain untouched as a corrupt object
is a much more grave error than it merely being absent.

756a042600 unpack_entry: avoid freeing objects in base cache
In the !delta_data error path of unpack_entry(), we run free(base).
This became a window for use-after-free() in abe601b (sha1_file:
remove recursion in unpack_entry, 2013-03-27), as follows:

Before abe601b, we got the 'base' from cache_or_unpack_entry(..., 0);
keep_cache=0 tells it to also remove that entry.  So the 'base' is at
this point not cached, and freeing it in the error path is the right
thing.

After abe601b, the structure changed: we use a three-phase approach
where phase 1 finds the innermost base or a base that is already in
the cache.  In phase 3 we therefore know that all bases we unpack are
not part of the delta cache yet.  (Observe that we pop from the cache
in phase 1, so this is also true for the very first base.)  So we make
no further attempts to look up the bases in the cache, and just call
add_delta_base_cache() on every base object we have assembled.

But the !delta_data error path remained unchanged, and now calls
free() on a base that has already been entered in the cache.  This
means that there is a use-after-free if we later use the same base
again.

So remove that free(); we are still going to use that data.

Similar to the recursion in packed_object_info(), this leads to
problems on stack-space-constrained systems in the presence of long
delta chains.

We proceed in three phases:

1. Dig through the delta chain, saving each delta object's offsets and

2. Unpack the base object at the bottom.

3. Unpack and apply the deltas from the stack.

790d96c023 sha1_file: remove recursion in packed_object_info
packed_object_info() and packed_delta_info() were mutually recursive.
The former would handle ordinary types and defer deltas to the latter;
the latter would use the former to resolve the delta base.

This arrangement, however, leads to trouble with threaded index-pack
and long delta chains on platforms where thread stacks are small, as
happened on OS X (512kB thread stacks by default) with the chromium
repo.

The task of the two functions is not all that hard to describe without
any recursion, however.  It proceeds in three steps:

- determine the representation type and size, based on the outermost
  object (delta or not)

- follow through the delta chain, if any

- determine the object type from what is found at the end of the delta
  chain

The only complication stems from the error recovery.  If parsing fails
at any step, we want to mark that object (within the pack) as bad and
try getting the corresponding SHA1 from elsewhere.  If that also
fails, we want to repeat this process back up the delta chain until we
find a reasonable solution or conclude that there is no way to
reconstruct the object.  (This is conveniently checked by t5303.)

To achieve that within the pack, we keep track of the entire delta
chain in a stack.  When things go sour, we process that stack from the
top, marking entries as bad and attempting to re-resolve by sha1.  To
avoid excessive malloc(), the stack starts out with a small
stack-allocated array.  The choice of 64 is based on the default of
pack.depth, which is 50, in the hope that it covers "most" delta
chains without any need for malloc().

It's much harder to make the actual re-resolving by sha1 nonrecursive,
so we skip that.  If you can't afford *that* recursion, your
corruption problems are more serious than your stack size problems.

090ea12671 parse_object: avoid putting whole blob in core
Traditionally, all the callers of check_sha1_signature() first
called read_sha1_file() to prepare the whole object data in core,
and called this function.  The function is used to revalidate what
we read from the object database actually matches the object name we
used to ask for the data from the object database.

Update the API to allow callers to pass NULL as the object data, and
have the function read and hash the object data using streaming API
to recompute the object name, without having to hold everything in
core at the same time.  This is most useful in parse_object() that
parses a blob object, because this caller does not have to keep the
actual blob data around in memory after a "struct blob" is returned.

4f22b1015d do not stream large files to pack when filters are in use
Because git's object format requires us to specify the
number of bytes in the object in its header, we must know
the size before streaming a blob into the object database.
This is not a problem when adding a regular file, as we can
get the size from stat(). However, when filters are in use
(such as autocrlf, or the ident, filter, or eol
gitattributes), we have no idea what the ultimate size will
be.

The current code just punts on the whole issue and ignores
filter configuration entirely for files larger than
core.bigfilethreshold. This can generate confusing results
if you use filters for large binary files, as the filter
will suddenly stop working as the file goes over a certain
size.  Rather than try to handle unknown input sizes with
streaming, this patch just turns off the streaming
optimization when filters are in use.

This has a slight performance regression in a very specific
case: if you have autocrlf on, but no gitattributes, a large
binary file will avoid the streaming code path because we
don't know beforehand whether it will need conversion or
not. But if you are handling large binary files, you should
be marking them as such via attributes (or at least not
using autocrlf, and instead marking your text files as
such). And the flip side is that if you have a large
_non_-binary file, there is a correctness improvement;
before we did not apply the conversion at all.

The first half of the new t1051 script covers these failures
on input. The second half tests the matching output code
paths. These already work correctly, and do not need any
adjustment.

This comes from a failure of mmap on this empty file, which sets errno to
EINVAL. Instead of calling xmmap on empty file, we display a clean error

optimization.  The kept pointer however may become invalid if
free_pack_by_name() happens to free that particular pack.

Current code base does not access packs after calling
free_pack_by_name() so it should not be a problem. Anyway, move the
pointer out so that free_pack_by_name() can reset it to avoid running
into troubles in future.

95099731bf sha1_file.c: move the core logic of find_pack_entry() into fill_pack_entry()
The new helper function implements the logic to find the offset for the
object in one pack and fill a pack_entry structure. The next patch will
restructure the loop and will call the helper from two places.

ab1900a36e Appease Sun Studio by renaming "tmpfile"
On Solaris the system headers define the "tmpfile" name, which'll
cause Git compiled with Sun Studio 12 Update 1 to whine about us
redefining the name:

    "pack-write.c", line 76: warning: name redefined by pragma redefine_extname declared static: tmpfile     (E_PRAGMA_REDEFINE_STATIC)
    "sha1_file.c", line 2455: warning: name redefined by pragma redefine_extname declared static: tmpfile    (E_PRAGMA_REDEFINE_STATIC)
    "fast-import.c", line 858: warning: name redefined by pragma redefine_extname declared static: tmpfile   (E_PRAGMA_REDEFINE_STATIC)
    "builtin/index-pack.c", line 175: warning: name redefined by pragma redefine_extname declared static: tmpfile    (E_PRAGMA_REDEFINE_STATIC)

Just renaming the "tmpfile" variable to "tmp_file" in the relevant
places is the easiest way to fix this.

568508e765 bulk-checkin: replace fast-import based implementation
This extends the earlier approach to stream a large file directly from the
filesystem to its own packfile, and allows "git add" to send large files
directly into a single pack. Older code used to spawn fast-import, but the
new bulk-checkin API replaces it.

58a6a9cc43 downgrade "packfile cannot be accessed" errors to warnings
These can happen if another process simultaneously prunes a
pack. But that is not usually an error condition, because a
properly-running prune should have repacked the object into
a new pack. So we will notice that the pack has disappeared
unexpectedly, print a message, try other packs (possibly
after re-scanning the list of packs), and find it in the new
pack.

4c08018204 pack-objects: protect against disappearing packs
It's possible that while pack-objects is running, a
simultaneously running prune process might delete a pack
that we are interested in. Because we load the pack indices
early on, we know that the pack contains our item, but by
the time we try to open and map it, it is gone.

Since c715f78, we already protect against this in the normal
object access code path, but pack-objects accesses the packs
at a lower level.  In the normal access path, we call
find_pack_entry, which will call find_pack_entry_one on each
pack index, which does the actual lookup. If it gets a hit,
we will actually open and verify the validity of the
matching packfile (using c715f78's is_pack_valid). If we
can't open it, we'll issue a warning and pretend that we
didn't find it, causing us to go on to the next pack (or on
to loose objects).

Furthermore, we will cache the descriptor to the opened
packfile. Which means that later, when we actually try to
access the object, we are likely to still have that packfile
opened, and won't care if it has been unlinked from the
filesystem.

Notice the "likely" above. If there is another pack access
in the interim, and we run out of descriptors, we could
close the pack. And then a later attempt to access the
closed pack could fail (we'll try to re-open it, of course,
but it may have been deleted). In practice, this doesn't
happen because we tend to look up items and then access them
immediately.

Pack-objects does not follow this code path. Instead, it
accesses the packs at a much lower level, using
find_pack_entry_one directly. This means we skip the
is_pack_valid check, and may end up with the name of a
packfile, but no open descriptor.

We can add the same is_pack_valid check here. Unfortunately,
the access patterns of pack-objects are not quite as nice
for keeping lookup and object access together. We look up
each object as we find out about it, and the only later when
writing the packfile do we necessarily access it. Which
means that the opened packfile may be closed in the interim.

In practice, however, adding this check still has value, for
three reasons.

  1. If you have a reasonable number of packs and/or a
     reasonable file descriptor limit, you can keep all of
     your packs open simultaneously. If this is the case,
     then the race is impossible to trigger.

  2. Even if you can't keep all packs open at once, you
     may end up keeping the deleted one open (i.e., you may
     get lucky).

  3. The race window is shortened. You may notice early that
     the pack is gone, and not try to access it. Triggering
     the problem without this check means deleting the pack
     any time after we read the list of index files, but
     before we access the looked-up objects.  Triggering it
     with this check means deleting the pack means deleting
     the pack after we do a lookup (and successfully access
     the packfile), but before we access the object. Which
     is a smaller window.

e6baf4a1ae clone: clone from a repository with relative alternates
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:

 - If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
   command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
   command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.

 - An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
   stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
   directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
   the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
   relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
   repository.

This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

7f684a2aff Tolerate zlib deflation with window size < 32Kb
Git currently reports loose objects as 'corrupt' if they've been
deflated using a window size less than 32Kb, because the
experimental_loose_object() function doesn't recognise the header
byte as a zlib header. This patch makes the function tolerant of
all valid window sizes (15-bit to 8-bit) - but doesn't sacrifice
it's accuracy in distingushing the standard loose-object format
from the experimental (now abandoned) format.

On memory constrained systems zlib may use a much smaller window
size - working on Agit, I found that Android uses a 4KB window;
giving a header byte of 0x48, not 0x78. Consequently all loose
objects generated appear 'corrupt', which is why Agit is a read-only
Git client at this time - I don't want my client to generate Git
repos that other clients treat as broken :(

This patch makes Git tolerant of different deflate settings - it
might appear that it changes experimental_loose_object() to the point
where it could incorrectly identify the experimental format as the
standard one, but the two criteria (bitmask & checksum) can only
give a false result for an experimental object where both of the
following are true:

1) object size is exactly 8 bytes when uncompressed (bitmask)
2) [single-byte in-pack git type&size header] * 256
   + [1st byte of the following zlib header] % 31 = 0 (checksum)

As it happens, for all possible combinations of valid object type
(1-4) and window bits (0-7), the only time when the checksum will be
divisible by 31 is for 0x1838 - ie object type *1*, a Commit - which,
due the fields all Commit objects must contain, could never be as
small as 8 bytes in size.

Given this, the combination of the two criteria (bitmask & checksum)
always correctly determines the buffer format, and is more tolerant
than the previous version.

The alternative to this patch is simply removing support for the
experimental format, which I am also totally cool with.
