Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.
On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().
In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.

Recent "git push" keeps transferred objects packed much more aggressively
than before. Monitoring output from git-count-objects -v for number of
loose objects is not enough to decide when to repack -- having too many
small packs is also a good cue for repacking.

Incremental repack without -a essentially boils down to:
rev-list --objects --unpacked --all |
pack-objects $new_pack
which picks up all loose objects that are still live and creates
a new pack.
This implements --unpacked=<existing pack> option to tell the
revision walking machinery to pretend as if objects in such a
pack are unpacked for the purpose of object listing. With this,
we could say:
rev-list --objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all |
pack-objects $new_pack
instead, to mean "all live loose objects but pretend as if
objects that are in this pack are also unpacked". The newly
created pack would be perfect for updating $active_pack by
replacing it.
Since pack-objects now knows how to do the rev-list's work
itself internally, you can also write the above example by:
pack-objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all $new_pack </dev/null

This cleans up the build procedure for built-in commands by:
- generating mostly redundant definition of BUILT_INS from
BUILTIN_OBJS in the Makefile,
- renaming a few files to make the above possible, and
- sorting the built-in command table in git.c.
It might be a good idea to binary search (or perfect hash) the built-in
command table, but that can be done later when somebody feels like.
