fast-import was relying on the fact that on most systems mmap() and
write() are synchronized by the filesystem's buffer cache. We were
relying on the ability to mmap() 20 bytes beyond the current end
of the file, then later fill in those bytes with a future write()
call, then read them through the previously obtained mmap() address.
This isn't always true with some implementations of NFS, but it is
especially not true with our NO_MMAP=YesPlease build time option used
on some platforms. If fast-import was built with NO_MMAP=YesPlease
we used the malloc()+pread() emulation and the subsequent write()
call does not update the trailing 20 bytes of a previously obtained
"mmap()" (aka malloc'd) address.
Under NO_MMAP that behavior causes unpack_entry() in sha1_file.c to
be unable to read an object header (or data) that has been unlucky
enough to be written to the packfile at a location such that it
is in the trailing 20 bytes of a window previously opened on that
same packfile.
This bug has gone unnoticed for a very long time as it is highly data
dependent. Not only does the object have to be placed at the right
position, but it also needs to be positioned behind some other object
that has been accessed due to a branch cache invalidation. In other
words the stars had to align just right, and if you did run into
this bug you probably should also have purchased a lottery ticket.
Fortunately the workaround is a lot easier than the bug explanation.
Before we allow unpack_entry() to read data from a pack window
that has also (possibly) been modified through write() we force
all existing windows on that packfile to be closed. By closing
the windows we ensure that any new access via the emulated mmap()
will reread the packfile, updating to the current file content.
This comes at a slight performance degredation as we cannot reuse
previously cached windows when we update the packfile. But it
is a fairly minor difference as the window closes happen at only
two points:
- When the packfile is finalized and its .idx is generated:
At this stage we are getting ready to update the refs and any
data access into the packfile is going to be random, and is
going after only the branch tips (to ensure they are valid).
Our existing windows (if any) are not likely to be positioned
at useful locations to access those final tip commits so we
probably were closing them before anyway.
- When the branch cache missed and we need to reload:
At this point fast-import is getting change commands for the next
commit and it needs to go re-read a tree object it previously
had written out to the packfile. What windows we had (if any)
are not likely to cover the tree in question so we probably were
closing them before anyway.
We do try to avoid unnecessarily closing windows in the second case
by checking to see if the packfile size has increased since the
last time we called unpack_entry() on that packfile. If the size
has not changed then we have not written additional data, and any
existing window is still vaild. This nicely handles the cases where
fast-import is going through a branch cache reload and needs to read
many trees at once. During such an event we are not likely to be
updating the packfile so we do not cycle the windows between reads.
With this change in place t9301-fast-export.sh (which was broken
by c3b0dec509) finally works again.

Conflicts:
fast-import.c
Brian Downing noticed fast-import can produce tree depths of up
to 6,035 objects and even deeper. Long delta chains can create
very small packfiles but cause problems during repacking as git
needs to unpack each tree to count the reachable blobs.
What's happening here is the active branch cache isn't big enough.
We're swapping out the branch and thus recycling the tree information
(struct tree_content) back into the free pool. When we later reload
the tree we set the delta_depth to 0 but we kept the tree we just
reloaded as a delta base.
So if the tree we reloaded was already at the maximum depth we
wouldn't know it and make the new tree a delta. Multiply the
number of times the branch cache has to swap out the tree times
max_depth (10) and you get the maximum delta depth of a tree created
by fast-import. In Brian's case above the active branch cache had
to swap the branch out 603/604 times during this import to produce
a tree with a delta depth of 6035.

For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living
in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept

strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf

The gory details are explained in strbuf.h. The change of semantics this
patch enforces is that the embeded buffer has always a '\0' character after
its last byte, to always make it a C-string. The offs-by-one changes are all
related to that very change.
A strbuf can be used to store byte arrays, or as an extended string
library. The `buf' member can be passed to any C legacy string function,
because strbuf operations always ensure there is a terminating \0 at the end
of the buffer, not accounted in the `len' field of the structure.
A strbuf can be used to generate a string/buffer whose final size is not
really known, and then "strbuf_detach" can be used to get the built buffer,
and keep the wrapping "strbuf" structure usable for further work again.
Other interesting feature: strbuf_grow(sb, size) ensure that there is
enough allocated space in `sb' to put `size' new octets of data in the
buffer. It helps avoiding reallocating data for nothing when the problem the
strbuf helps to solve has a known typical size.

When we crash the frontend developer (or end-user) may need to know
roughly around what part of the input stream we had a problem with
and aborted on. Because line numbers aren't very useful in this
sort of application we instead just keep the last 100 commands in
a FIFO queue and print them as part of the crash report.
Currently one problem with this design is a commit that has
more than 100 modified files in it will flood the FIFO and any
context regarding branch/from/committer/mark/comments will be lost.
We really should save only the last few (10?) file changes for the
current commit, ensuring we have some prior higher level commands
in the FIFO when we crash on a file M/D/C/R command.
Another issue with this approach is the FIFO only includes the
commands, it does not include the commit messages. Yet having a
commit message may be useful to help locate the relevant change in
the source material. In practice I don't think this is going to be a
major concern as the frontend can always embed its own source change
set identifier as a comment (which will appear in the crash report)
and the commit message(s) for the most recent commits of any given
branch should be obtainable from the (packed) commit objects.

As fast-import is quite strict about its input and die()'s anytime
something goes wrong it can be difficult for a frontend developer
to troubleshoot why fast-import rejected their input, or to even
determine what input command it rejected.
This change introduces a custom handler for Git's die() routine.
When we receive a die() for any reason (fast-import or a lower level
core Git routine we called) the error is first dumped onto stderr
and then a more extensive crash report file is prepared in GIT_DIR.
Finally we exit the process with status 128, just like the stock
builtin die handler.
An internal flag is set to prevent any further die()'s that may be
invoked during the crash report generator from causing us to enter
into an infinite loop. We shouldn't die() from our crash report
handler, but just in case someone makes a future code change we are
prepared to gaurd against small mistakes turning into huge problems
for the end-user.

The existing checkpoint command is very useful to force fast-import
to dump the branches out to disk so that standard Git tools can
access them and the objects they refer to. However there was not a
way to know when fast-import had finished executing the checkpoint
and it was safe to read those refs.
The progress command can be used to make fast-import output any
message of the frontend's choosing to standard out. The frontend
can scan for these messages using select() or poll() to monitor a
pipe connected to the standard output of fast-import.

For the same reasons as the prior change we want to allow frontends
to omit the trailing LF that usually delimits commands. In some
cases these just make the input stream more verbose looking than
it needs to be, and its just simpler for the frontend developer to
get started if our parser is slightly more lenient about where an
LF is required and where it isn't.
To make this optional LF feature work we now have to buffer up to one
line of input in command_buf. This buffering can happen if we look
at the current input command but don't recognize it at this point
in the code. In such a case we need to "unget" the entire line,
but we cannot depend upon the stdio library to let us do ungetc()
for that many characters at once.

A few fast-import frontend developers have found it odd that we
require the LF following a `data` command, especially in the exact
byte count format. Technically we don't need this LF to parse
the stream properly, but having it here does make the stream more

at the next byte available from the stream and pushing it back into
the buffer if its not LF.

Several frontend developers have asked that some form of stream
comments be permitted within a fast-import data stream. This way
they can include information from their own frontend program about
where specific data was taken from in the source system, or about
a decision that their frontend may have made while creating the
fast-import data stream.
This change introduces comments in the Bourne-shell/Tcl/Perl style.
Lines starting with '#' are ignored, up to and including the LF.
Unlike the above mentioned three languages however we do not look for
and ignore leading whitespace. This just simplifies the definition
of the comment format and the code that parses them.
To make comments work we had to stop using read_next_command() within
cmd_data() and directly invoke read_line() during the inline variant
of the function. This is necessary to retain any lines of the
input data that might otherwise look like a comment to fast-import.

The reason we were rejecting the branch name was check_ref_format()
returns -2 when there are less than 2 '/' characters in the input
name. TAG_FIXUP has 0 '/' characters, but is technically just as
valid of a ref as HEAD and MERGE_HEAD, so we really should permit it
(and any other similar looking name) during import.
New test cases have been added to make sure we still detect very
wrong branch names (e.g. containing [ or starting with .) and yet
still permit reasonable names (e.g. TAG_FIXUP).

Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames by telling us the directory was copied, then deleted in the
same revision. This makes it difficult for a frontend to convert
such data formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has
on hand is "Copy a/ to b/; Delete a/" with no details about what
files are in a/, unless the frontend also kept track of all files.
The new 'C' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to make a
recursive copy of one path to another path within the branch, without
needing to keep track of the individual file paths. The metadata
copy is performed in memory efficiently, but is implemented as a
copy-immediately operation, rather than copy-on-write.
With this new 'C' subcommand frontends could obviously implement an
'R' (rename) on their own as a combination of 'C' and 'D' (delete),
but since we have already offered up 'R' in the past and it is a
trivial thing to keep implemented I'm not going to deprecate it.

When e8438420bb allowed us to reload
the marks table on subsequent runs of fast-import we really broke
things, as we set pack_id to MAX_PACK_ID for any objects we imported
into the marks table. Creating a branch from that mark should fail
as we attempt to read the object through a non-existant packed_git
pointer. Instead we have to use the normal Git object system to
locate the older commit, as we ourselves do not have a reference
to the packed_git it resides in.
This bug only occurred because t9300 was not complete enough.
When we added the --import-marks feature we didn't actually test
its implementation enough to verify the function worked as intended.
I have corrected that, and included the changes as part of this fix.

Some users of fast-import have been trying to use it to rewrite
commits and trees, an activity where the all of the relevant blobs
are already available from the existing packfiles. In such a case
we don't want to repack a blob, even if the frontend application
has supplied us the raw data rather than a mark or a SHA-1 name.
I'm intentionally only checking the packfiles that existed when
fast-import started and am always ignoring all loose object files.
We ignore loose objects because fast-import tends to operate on a
very large number of objects in a very short timespan, and it is
usually creating new objects, not reusing existing ones. In such
a situtation the majority of the objects will not be found in the
existing packfiles, nor will they be loose object files. If the
frontend application really wants us to look at loose object files,
then they can just repack the repository before running fast-import.

When building up a tree for a commit, fast-import
dynamically allocates memory for the tree entries. When more
space is needed, the allocated memory is increased by a
constant amount. For very large trees, this means
re-allocating and memcpy()ing the memory O(n) times.
To compound this problem, releasing the previous tree
resource does not free the memory; it is kept in a pool
for future trees. This means that each of the O(n)
allocations will consume increasing amounts of memory,
giving O(n^2) memory consumption.

Allow fast-import frontends to reload the marks table

Preallocate memory earlier in fast-import

When we allow fast-import frontends to reload a mark file from a
prior session we want to let them use the same file as they exported
the marks to. This makes it very simple for the frontend to save
state across incremental imports.
But we don't want to lose the old marks table if anything goes wrong
while writing our current marks table. So instead of truncating and
overwriting the path specified to --export-marks we use the standard
lockfile code to write the current marks out to a temporary file,
then rename it over the old marks table.

I'm about to teach fast-import how to reload the marks file created
by a prior session. The general approach that I want to use is to
immediately parse the marks file when the specific argument is found
in argv, thereby allowing the caller to supply multiple marks files,
as the mark space can be sparsely populated.
To make that work out we need to allocate our object tables before
we parse the command line options. Since none of these tables
depend on the command line options, we can easily relocate them.

fast-import: Fail if a non-existant commit is used for merge
fast-import: Avoid infinite loop after reset
[sp: Minor evil merge to deal with type_names array moving
to be private in 'master'.]
Johannes Sixt noticed during one of his own imports that fast-import
did not fail if a non-existant commit is referenced by SHA-1 value
as an argument to the 'merge' command. This allowed the user to
unknowingly create commits that would fail in fsck, as the commit
contents would not be completely reachable.
A side effect of this bug was that a frontend process could mark
any SHA-1 object (blob, tree, tag) as a parent of a merge commit.
This should also fail in fsck, as the commit is not a valid commit.
We now use the same rule as the 'from' command. If a commit is
referenced in the 'merge' command by hex formatted SHA-1 then the
SHA-1 must be a commit or a tag that can be peeled back to a commit,
the commit must already exist, and must be readable by the core Git
infrastructure code. This requirement means that the commit must
have existed prior to fast-import starting, or the commit must have
been flushed out by a prior 'checkpoint' command.

Johannes Sixt noticed that a 'reset' command applied to a branch that
is already active in the branch LRU cache can cause fast-import to
relink the same branch into the LRU cache twice. This will cause
the LRU cache to contain a cycle, making unload_one_branch run in an
infinite loop as it tries to select the oldest branch for eviction.
I have trivially fixed the problem by adding an active bit to
each branch object; this bit indicates if the branch is already
in the LRU and allows us to avoid trying to add it a second time.
Converting the pack_id field into a bitfield makes this change take

It was suggested on the mailing list that being able to use `from`
in any commit to reset the current branch is useful in some types of
importers, such as a darcs importer.
We originally did not permit resetting an existing branch with a
new `from` command during a `commit` command, but this restriction
was only to help debug the hacked up cvs2svn that Jon Smirl was
developing in parallel with git-fast-import. It is probably more
of a problem to disallow it than to allow it. So now we permit a
`from` during any `commit`.
While making the changes required to permit multiple `from`
commands on the same branch, I discovered we no longer needed the
last_commit field to be set to 0 during a reset, so that was removed.
(Reset was originally setting the field to 0 to signal cmd_from()
that it was OK to execute on the branch.)
While poking around in this section of fast-import I also realized
the `reset` command was not working as intended if the corresponding
`from` command was omitted (as allowed by the BNF grammar and the
code). If `from` was omitted we cleared out the tree but we left
the tree SHA-1 and parent commit SHA-1 intact. This is not what
the user intended in this case. Instead they would be trying to
reset the branch to have no parent and to have no tree, making the
branch look new-born during the next commit. We now clear these
SHA-1 values during `reset`, ensuring the branch looks new-born if
`from` does not get supplied.
New test cases for these were also added.

Some frontends may not be able to (easily) keep track of which files
are included in the branch, and which aren't. Performing this
tracking can be tedious and error prone for the frontend to do,
especially if its foreign data source cannot supply the changed
path list on a per-commit basis.
fast-import now allows a frontend to request that a branch's tree
be wiped clean (reset to the empty tree) at the start of a commit,
allowing the frontend to feed in all paths which belong on the branch.
This is ideal for a tar-file importer frontend, for example, as
the frontend just needs to reformat the tar data stream into a gfi
data stream, which may be something a few Perl regexps can take

If fast-import is being used to update an existing branch of
a repository, the user may not want to lose commits if another
process updates the same ref at the same time. For example, the
user might be using fast-import to make just one or two commits
against a live branch.
We now perform a fast-forward check during the ref updating process.
If updating a branch would cause commits in that branch to be lost,
we skip over it and display the new SHA1 to standard error.
This new default behavior can be overridden with `--force`, like
git-push and git-fetch.

Since some frontends may be working with source material where
the dates are only readily available as RFC 2822 strings, it is
more friendly if fast-import exposes Git's parse_date() function
to handle the conversion. This way the frontend doesn't need
to perform the parsing itself.
The new --date-format option to fast-import can be used by a
frontend to select which format it will supply date strings in.
The default is the standard `raw` Git format, which fast-import
has always supported. Format rfc2822 can be used to activate the
parse_date() function instead.
Because fast-import could also be useful for creating new, current
commits, the format `now` is also supported to generate the current
system timestamp. The implementation of `now` is a trivial call
to datestamp(), but is actually a whole whopping 3 lines so that
fast-import can verify the frontend really meant `now`.
As part of this change I have added validation of the `raw` date
format. Prior to this change fast-import would accept anything
in a `committer` command, even if it was seriously malformed.
Now fast-import requires the '> ' near the end of the string and
verifies the timestamp is formatted properly.

The current implementation of shell-style quoted refnames and
SHA-1 expressions within fast-import contains a bad memory leak.
We leak the unquoted strings used by the `from` and `merge`
commands, maybe others. Its also just muddling up the docs.
Since Git refnames cannot contain LF, and that is our delimiter
for the end of the refname, and we accept any other character
as-is, there is no reason for these strings to support quoting,
except to be nice to frontends. But frontends shouldn't be
expecting to use funny refs in Git, and its just as simple to
never quote them as it is to always pass them through the same
quoting filter as pathnames. So frontends should never quote
refs, or ref expressions.

Some structs are allocated rather frequently, but were using integer
types which were far larger than required to actually store their
full value range.
As packfiles are limited to 4 GiB we don't need more than 32 bits to
store the offset of an object within that packfile, an `unsigned long`
on a 64 bit system is likely a 64 bit unsigned value. Saving 4 bytes
per object on a 64 bit system can add up fast on any sizable import.
As atom strings are strictly single components in a path name these
are probably limited to just 255 bytes by the underlying OS. Going
to that short of a string is probably too restrictive, but certainly
`unsigned int` is far too large for their lengths. `unsigned short`
is a reasonable limit.
Modes within a tree really only need two bytes to store their whole
value; using `unsigned int` here is vast overkill. Saving 4 bytes
per file entry in an active branch can add up quickly on a project
with a large number of files.

Its very annoying to need to specify the file content ahead of a
commit and use marks to connect the individual blobs to the commit's
file modification entry, especially if the frontend can't/won't
generate the blob SHA1s itself. Instead it would much easier to
use if we can accept the blob data at the same time as we receive
each file_change line.
Now fast-import accepts 'inline' instead of a mark idnum or blob
SHA1 within the 'M' type file_change command. If an inline is
detected the very next line must be a 'data n' command, supplying
the file data.

During testing its nice to not have to feed the length of a data
chunk to the 'data' command of fast-import. Instead we would
prefer to be able to establish a data chunk much like shell's <<
operator and use a line delimiter to denote the end of the input.
So now if a data command is started as 'data <<EOF' we will look
for a terminator line containing only the string EOF on that line.
Once found, we stop the data command. Everything between the two
lines is used as the data value.
The 'data <<' syntax is slower than 'data n', as we don't know how
many bytes to expect and instead must grow our buffer on the fly.
It also has the problem that the frontend must use a string which
will not appear on a line by itself in the input, and the data
region will always end in an LF. For these reasons real import
frontends are encouraged to continue to use _only_ 'data n'.

The --objects command line option is rather unnecessary. Internally
we allocate objects in 5000 unit blocks, ensuring that any sort
of malloc overhead is ammortized over the individual objects to
almost nothing. Since most frontends don't know how many objects
they will need for a given import run (and its hard for them to
predict without just doing the run) we probably won't see anyone
using --objects. Further since there's really no major benefit
to using the option, most frontends won't even bother supplying
it even if they could estimate the number of objects. So I'm
removing it.
The --max-objects-per-pack option was probably a mistake to even
have added in the first place. The packfile format is limited
to 4 GiB today; given that objects need at least 3 bytes of data
(and probably need even more) there's no way we are going to exceed
the limit of 1<<32-1 objects before we reach the file size limit.
So I'm removing it (to slightly reduce the complexity of the code)

set to MAX_PACK_ID to ensure they don't cause their commit to list
as part of the first packfile when it closes out if the commit was
actually in existance before fast-import started.
Also corrected the type of last_commit to be umaxint_t to prevent
overflow and wraparound on very large imports. Though that is
highly unlikely to occur as we're talking 4 billion commits, which
no real project has right now.

Now that fast-import uses uintmax_t (the largest available unsigned
integer type) for marks we don't want to say its an unsigned 32

especially on 64 bit systems, and especially if a frontend uses
a very large number of marks (1 per file revision on a very, very

To help callers repack very large repositories into a series of
packfiles fast-import now outputs the last commits/tags it wrote to
a packfile when it prints out the packfile name. This information
can be feed to pack-objects --revs to repack. For the first pack
of an initial import this is pretty easy (just feed those SHA1s on
stdin) but for subsequent packs you want to feed the subsequent
pack's final SHA1s but also all prior pack's SHA1s prefixed with
the negation operator. This way the prior pack's data does not
get included into the subsequent pack.

Since object_count is limited to 'unsigned long' (really an
unsigned 32 bit integer value) by the pack file format we may as
well use exactly that type here in fast-import for that counter.
An earlier change by me incorrectly made it uintmax_t.
But since object_count is a counter for the current packfile only,
we don't want to output its value at the end. Instead we should
sum up the individual type counters and report that total, as that
will cover all of the packfiles.

Much like the pack_sha1 the pack_fd is an unnecessary global

Because fast-import automatically updates all references (heads
and tags) at the end of its run the repository is corrupt unless
the objects are available in the .git/objects/pack directory prior
to the refs being modified. The easiest way to ensure that is true
is to move the packfile and its associated index directly into the
.git/objects/pack directory as soon as we have finished output to it.
But the only safe way to do this is to create the a temporary .keep
file for that pack, so we use the same tricks that index-pack uses
when its being invoked by receive-pack.

If a frontend wants to use a mark per file revision and per commit
and is doing a truly huge import (such as a 32 GiB SVN repository)
we may need more than 2**32 unique mark values, especially if the
frontend is unable (or unwilling) to recycle mark values. For mark
idnums we should use the largest unsigned integer type available,
hoping that will be at least 64 bits when we are compiled as a 64
bit executable. This way we may consume huge amounts of memory
storing our mark table, but we'll at least be able to process
the entire import without failing.

If we previously were using a delta but we needed to checkpoint the
current packfile and switch to a new packfile we need to throw away
the delta and compress the raw object by itself, as delta chains
cannot span non-thin packfiles. Unfortunately the output buffer
in this case needs to grow, as the size of the compressed object
may be quite a bit larger than the size of the compressed delta.
I've also avoided recompressing the object if we are checkpointing
and we didn't use a delta. In this case the output buffer is the
correct size and has already been populated with the right data,
we just need to close out the current packfile and open a new one.

When the number of objects or number of bytes gets close to the limit
allowed by the packfile format (or configured on the command line by
our caller) we should automatically checkpoint the current packfile
and start a new one before writing the object out. This does however
require that we abandon the delta (if we had one) as its not valid
in a new packfile.
I also added the simple rule that if we got a delta back but the
delta itself is the same size as or larger than the uncompressed
object to ignore the delta and just store the object data. This
should avoid some really bad behavior caused by our current delta
strategy.

When we are generating multiple packfiles at once we only need
to scan the blocks of object_entry structs which contain objects
for the current packfile. Because the most recent blocks are at
the front of the linked list, and because all new objects going

we can stop scanning for objects as soon as we identify one which
doesn't belong to the current packfile.

If the last packfile is going to be empty (has 0 objects) then it

To help importers which are dealing with massive amounts of data
fast-import needs to be able to close the packfile it is currently

to occur at any time. This may be useful to ensure a very long

There is little reason to be keeping a global duplicate_count

Now that we are starting to see some really large projects (such
as KDE or a fork of FreeBSD) get imported into Git we're running
into the upper limit on packfile object count as well as overall
byte length. The KDE and FreeBSD projects are both likely to
require more than 4 GiB to store their current history, which means
we really need multiple packfiles to handle their content.
This is a fairly simple restructuring of the internal code to help
us support creating multiple packfiles from within fast-import.
We are now adding a 5 digit incrementing suffix to the end of the
basename supplied to us by the caller, permitting up to 99,999

Now that the sha1_file.c library routines use the sliding mmap
routines to perform efficient access to portions of a packfile
I can remove that code from fast-import.c and just invoke it.
One benefit is we now have reloading support for any packfile which
uses OBJ_OFS_DELTA. Another is we have significantly less code
to maintain.
This code reuse change *requires* that fast-import generate only
an OBJ_OFS_DELTA format packfile, as there is absolutely no index
available to perform OBJ_REF_DELTA lookup in while unpacking
an object. This is probably reasonable to require as the delta
offsets result in smaller packfiles and are faster to unpack,
as no index searching is required. Its also only a temporary
requirement as users could always repack without offsets before
making the import available to older versions of Git.

I'm bringing master in early so that the OBJ_OFS_DELTA implementation

repacked with git-pack-objects.
Due to the API changes in master during the period of development

Some importers may want to create a branch long before they actually
commit to it, or in some cases they may never commit to the branch
but they still need the ref to be created in the repository after
the import is complete.
This extends the 'reset ' command to automatically create a new
branch if the supplied reference isn't already known as a branch.
While I'm at it I also modified the syntax of the reset command
to terminate with an empty line, like commit and tag operate.
This just makes the command set more consistent.

Some importers are able to determine when branch merges occurred
within their source data. In these cases they will want to supply
the correct commits to fast-import so that a proper merge commit
will exist in Git. This is now supported by supplying a 'merge '

A merge is not actually performed by fast-import, its assumed that
the frontend performed any sort of merging activity already and
that fast-import should simply be storing its result.

the base (aka "version 0") and the current/new (aka "version 1").

saves a significant amount of memory as we can continue to use the
atom pool for file/directory names and only increases each tree
entry by an additional 24 bytes of memory.
Branches should automatically delta against their ancestor tree,
unless the ancestor tree is already at the delta chain limit.

When generating a very large pack file (for example close to 1 GB
in size) it may be impossible for the kernel to find a contiguous
free range within a 32 bit address space for the mapping to be
located at. This is especially problematic on large imports where
there is a lot of malloc activity occuring within the same process
and the malloc'd regions may straddle the previously mapped regions,
thereby creating large holes in the address space.
So instead we map only 128 MB of the pack at any given time.
This will likely increase the number of times the file gets mapped
(with additional system time required to update the page tables
more frequently) but will allow the program to handle packs up to
4 GB in size.

Tree reloading allows fast-import to swap out the least-recently used
branch by simply deallocating the data structures from memory that
were associated with that branch. Later if the branch becomes active
again it can lazily recreate those structures on demand by reloading
the necessary trees from the pack file it originally wrote them to.
The reloading process is implemented by mmap'ing the pack into
memory and using a much tighter variant of the pack reading code
contained in sha1_file.c. This was a blatent copy from sha1_file.c
but the unpacking functions were significantly simplified and are
actually now in a form that should make it easier to map only the
