When a caller tries to read a particular set of bytes via
read_in_full(), there are three possible outcomes:
1. An error, in which case -1 is returned and errno is
set.
2. A short read, in which fewer bytes are returned and
errno is unspecified (we never saw a read error, so we
may have some random value from whatever syscall failed
last).
3. The full read completed successfully.
Many callers handle cases 1 and 2 together by just checking
the result against the requested size. If their combined
error path looks at errno (e.g., by calling die_errno), they
may report a nonsense value.
Let's fix these sites by having them distinguish between the
two error cases. That avoids the random errno confusion, and
lets us give more detailed error messages.

The odb_mkstemp() function expects the caller to provide a
fixed buffer to write the resulting tempfile name into. But
it creates the template using snprintf without checking the
return value. This means we could silently truncate the
filename.
In practice, it's unlikely that the truncation would end in
the template-pattern that mkstemp needs to open the file. So
we'd probably end up failing either way, unless the path was
specially crafted.
The simplest fix would be to notice the truncation and die.
However, we can observe that most callers immediately
xstrdup() the result anyway. So instead, let's switch to
using a strbuf, which is easier for them (and isn't a big
deal for the other 2 callers, who can just strbuf_release
when they're done with it).
Note that many of the callers used static buffers, but this
was purely to avoid putting a large buffer on the stack. We
never passed the static buffers out of the function, so
there's no complicated memory handling we need to change.

The odb_mkstemp function does not return an error; it dies
on failure instead. But many of its callers compare the
resulting descriptor against -1 and die themselves.
Mostly this is just pointless, but it does raise a question
when looking at the callers: if they show the results of the
"template" buffer after a failure, what's in it? The answer
is: it doesn't matter, because it cannot happen.
So let's make that clear by removing the bogus error checks.
In bitmap_writer_finish(), we can drop the error-handling
code entirely. In the other two cases, it's shared with the
open() in another code path; we can just move the
error-check next to that open() call.
And while we're at it, let's flesh out the function's
docstring a bit to make the error behavior clear.

The encode_in_pack_object_header() writes a variable-length
header to an output buffer, but it doesn't actually know
long the buffer is. At first glance, this looks like it
might be possible to overflow.
In practice, this is probably impossible. The smallest
buffer we use is 10 bytes, which would hold the header for
an object up to 2^67 bytes. Obviously we're not likely to
see such an object, but we might worry that an object could
lie about its size (causing us to overflow before we realize
it does not actually have that many bytes). But the argument
is passed as a uintmax_t. Even on systems that have __int128
available, uintmax_t is typically restricted to 64-bit by
the ABI.
So it's unlikely that a system exists where this could be
exploited. Still, it's easy enough to use a normal out/len
pair and make sure we don't write too far. That protects the
hypothetical 128-bit system, makes it harder for callers to
accidentally specify a too-small buffer, and makes the
resulting code easier to audit.
Note that the one caller in fast-import tried to catch such
a case, but did so _after_ the call (at which point we'd
have already overflowed!). This check can now go away.

The point of this function is to drop an entry from the
"packed_git" cache that points to a file we might be
overwriting, because our contents may not be the same (and
hence the only caller was pack-objects as it moved a
temporary packfile into place).
In older versions of git, this could happen because the
names of packfiles were derived from the set of objects they
contained, not the actual bits on disk. But since 1190a1a
(pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash,
2013-12-05), the name reflects the actual bits on disk, and
any two packfiles with the same name can be used
interchangeably.
Dropping this function not only saves a few lines of code,
it makes the lifetime of "struct packed_git" much easier to
reason about: namely, we now do not ever free these structs.

This commit extends more the functionality of `pack-objects` by allowing
it to write out a `.bitmap` index next to any written packs, together
with the `.idx` index that currently gets written.
If bitmap writing is enabled for a given repository (either by calling
`pack-objects` with the `--write-bitmap-index` flag or by having
`pack.writebitmaps` set to `true` in the config) and pack-objects is
writing a packfile that would normally be indexed (i.e. not piping to
stdout), we will attempt to write the corresponding bitmap index for the
packfile.
Bitmap index writing happens after the packfile and its index has been
successfully written to disk (`finish_tmp_packfile`). The process is
performed in several steps:
1. `bitmap_writer_set_checksum`: this call stores the partial
checksum for the packfile being written; the checksum will be
written in the resulting bitmap index to verify its integrity
2. `bitmap_writer_build_type_index`: this call uses the array of
`struct object_entry` that has just been sorted when writing out
the actual packfile index to disk to generate 4 type-index bitmaps
(one for each object type).
These bitmaps have their nth bit set if the given object is of
the bitmap's type. E.g. the nth bit of the Commits bitmap will be
1 if the nth object in the packfile index is a commit.
This is a very cheap operation because the bitmap writing code has
access to the metadata stored in the `struct object_entry` array,
and hence the real type for each object in the packfile.
3. `bitmap_writer_reuse_bitmaps`: if there exists an existing bitmap
index for one of the packfiles we're trying to repack, this call
will efficiently rebuild the existing bitmaps so they can be
reused on the new index. All the existing bitmaps will be stored
in a `reuse` hash table, and the commit selection phase will
prioritize these when selecting, as they can be written directly
to the new index without having to perform a revision walk to
fill the bitmap. This can greatly speed up the repack of a
repository that already has bitmaps.
4. `bitmap_writer_select_commits`: if bitmap writing is enabled for
a given `pack-objects` run, the sequence of commits generated
during the Counting Objects phase will be stored in an array.
We then use that array to build up the list of selected commits.
Writing a bitmap in the index for each object in the repository
would be cost-prohibitive, so we use a simple heuristic to pick
the commits that will be indexed with bitmaps.
The current heuristics are a simplified version of JGit's
original implementation. We select a higher density of commits
depending on their age: the 100 most recent commits are always
selected, after that we pick 1 commit of each 100, and the gap
increases as the commits grow older. On top of that, we make sure
that every single branch that has not been merged (all the tips
that would be required from a clone) gets their own bitmap, and
when selecting commits between a gap, we tend to prioritize the
commit with the most parents.
Do note that there is no right/wrong way to perform commit
selection; different selection algorithms will result in
different commits being selected, but there's no such thing as
"missing a commit". The bitmap walker algorithm implemented in
`prepare_bitmap_walk` is able to adapt to missing bitmaps by
performing manual walks that complete the bitmap: the ideal
selection algorithm, however, would select the commits that are
more likely to be used as roots for a walk in the future (e.g.
the tips of each branch, and so on) to ensure a bitmap for them
is always available.
5. `bitmap_writer_build`: this is the computationally expensive part
of bitmap generation. Based on the list of commits that were
selected in the previous step, we perform several incremental
walks to generate the bitmap for each commit.
The walks begin from the oldest commit, and are built up
incrementally for each branch. E.g. consider this dag where A, B,
C, D, E, F are the selected commits, and a, b, c, e are a chunk
of simplified history that will not receive bitmaps.
A---a---B--b--C--c--D
\
E--e--F
We start by building the bitmap for A, using A as the root for a
revision walk and marking all the objects that are reachable
until the walk is over. Once this bitmap is stored, we reuse the
bitmap walker to perform the walk for B, assuming that once we
reach A again, the walk will be terminated because A has already
been SEEN on the previous walk.
This process is repeated for C, and D, but when we try to
generate the bitmaps for E, we can reuse neither the current walk
nor the bitmap we have generated so far.
What we do now is resetting both the walk and clearing the
bitmap, and performing the walk from scratch using E as the
origin. This new walk, however, does not need to be completed.
Once we hit B, we can lookup the bitmap we have already stored
for that commit and OR it with the existing bitmap we've composed
so far, allowing us to limit the walk early.
After all the bitmaps have been generated, another iteration
through the list of commits is performed to find the best XOR
offsets for compression before writing them to disk. Because of
the incremental nature of these bitmaps, XORing one of them with
its predecesor results in a minimal "bitmap delta" most of the
time. We can write this delta to the on-disk bitmap index, and
then re-compose the original bitmaps by XORing them again when
loaded.
This is a phase very similar to pack-object's `find_delta` (using
bitmaps instead of objects, of course), except the heuristics
have been greatly simplified: we only check the 10 bitmaps before
any given one to find best compressing one. This gives good
results in practice, because there is locality in the ordering of
the objects (and therefore bitmaps) in the packfile.
6. `bitmap_writer_finish`: the last step in the process is
serializing to disk all the bitmap data that has been generated
in the two previous steps.
The bitmap is written to a tmp file and then moved atomically to
its final destination, using the same process as
`pack-write.c:write_idx_file`.

The sha1write function returns an int, but it will always be

we just end up calling die() during the flush.

Our current scheme for naming packfiles is to calculate the
sha1 hash of the sorted list of objects contained in the
packfile. This gives us a unique name, so we are reasonably
sure that two packs with the same name will contain the same
objects.
It does not, however, tell us that two such packs have the
exact same bytes. This makes things awkward if we repack the
same set of objects. Due to run-to-run variations, the bytes
may not be identical (e.g., changed zlib or git versions,
different source object reuse due to new packs in the
repository, or even different deltas due to races during a
multi-threaded delta search).
In theory, this could be helpful to a program that cares
that the packfile contains a certain set of objects, but
does not care about the particular representation. In
practice, no part of git makes use of that, and in many
cases it is potentially harmful. For example, if a dumb http
client fetches the .idx file, it must be sure to get the
exact .pack that matches it. Similarly, a partial transfer
of a .pack file cannot be safely resumed, as the actual
bytes may have changed. This could also affect a local
client which opened the .idx and .pack files, closes the
.pack file (due to memory or file descriptor limits), and
then re-opens a changed packfile.
In all of these cases, git can detect the problem, as we
have the sha1 of the bytes themselves in the pack trailer
(which we verify on transfer), and the .idx file references
the trailer from the matching packfile. But it would be
simpler and more efficient to actually get the correct
bytes, rather than noticing the problem and having to
restart the operation.
This patch simply uses the pack trailer sha1 as the pack
name. It should be similarly unique, but covers the exact
representation of the objects. Other parts of git should not
care, as the pack name is returned by pack-objects and is
essentially opaque.
One test needs to be updated, because it actually corrupts a
pack and expects that re-packing the corrupted bytes will
use the same name. It won't anymore, but we can easily just
use the name that pack-objects hands back.

- rename temporary idxfile to the final name

A pack v2 .idx file usually records offset using 64-bit representation
only when the offset does not fit within 31-bit, but you can handcraft
your .idx file to record smaller offset using 64-bit, storing all zero
in the upper 4-byte. By inspecting the original idx file when running
index-pack --verify, encode such low offsets that do not need to be in
64-bit but are encoded using 64-bit just like the original idx file so
that we can still validate the pack/idx pair by comparing the idx file

Given an existing .pack file and the .idx file that describes it,
this new mode of operation reads and re-index the packfile and makes
sure the existing .idx file matches the result byte-for-byte.
All the objects in the .pack file are validated during this operation as
well. Unlike verify-pack, which visits each object described in the .idx
file in the SHA-1 order, index-pack efficiently exploits the delta-chain
to avoid rebuilding the objects that are used as the base of deltified
objects over and over again while validating the objects, resulting in
much quicker verification of the .pack file and its .idx file.
This version however cannot verify a .pack/.idx pair with a handcrafted v2
index that uses 64-bit offset representation for offsets that would fit
within 31-bit. You can create such an .idx file by giving a custom offset
to --index-version option to the command.

In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create
"pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is
not created upon initialization. It was Ok because subdirectories are
created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then,
packfiles were recent invention.
After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of
objects/pack/ directory in the repository. This was exacerbated with
8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs,
2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from
objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to
the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation.
Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail
mysteriously because of this.
This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better.
- odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the
code and teach it to create leading directories as needed;
- odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while
create leading directories as needed.

Two functions, namely write_idx_file() and open_pack_file(), currently
return a const pointer. However that pointer is either a copy of the
first argument, or set to a malloc'd buffer when that first argument
is null. In the later case it is wrong to qualify that pointer as const
since ownership of the buffer is transferred to the caller to dispose of,
and obviously the free() function is not meant to be passed const
pointers.
Making the return pointer not const causes a warning when the first
argument is returned since that argument is also marked const.
The correct thing to do is therefore to remove the const qualifiers,
avoiding the need for ugly casts only to silence some warnings.

There is a subtle (but important) linkage between receive-pack and
index-pack that allows index-pack to create a packfile but protect
it from being deleted by a concurrent `git repack -a -d` operation.
The linkage works by having index-pack mark the newly created pack
with a ".keep" file and then it passes the SHA-1 name of that new
packfile to receive-pack along its stdout channel.
The receive-pack process must unkeep the packfile by deleting the
.keep file, but can it can only do so after all elgible refs have
been updated in the receiving repository. This ensures that the
packfile is either kept or its objects are reachable, preventing
a concurrent repacker from deleting the packfile before it can
determine that its objects are actually needed by the repository.
The new builtin-fetch code needs to perform the same actions if
it choose to run index-pack rather than unpack-objects, so I am
moving this code out to its own function where both receive-pack
and fetch-pack are able to invoke it when necessary. The caller
is responsible for deleting the returned ".keep" and freeing the
path if the returned path is not NULL.

This patch unifies the write_index_file functions in
builtin-pack-objects.c and index-pack.c. As the name
"index" is overloaded in git, move in the direction of
using "idx" and "pack idx" when refering to the pack index.
There should be no change in functionality.

The return value from xread() is ssize_t.
Paolo Teti <paolo.teti@gmail.com> pointed out that in this case, the
signed return value was assigned to an unsigned type (size_t). This patch
fixes that.

Include a generalized fixup_pack_header_footer() in this new file.
Needed by git-repack --max-pack-size feature in a later patchset.
[sp: Moved close(pack_fd) to callers, to support index-pack, and
changed name to better indicate it is for packfiles.]
