4614043c8f index-pack: use streaming interface for collision test on large blobs
When putting whole objects in core is unavoidable, try match object
type and size first before actually inflating.

9ec2dde9f3 index-pack: use streaming interface on large blobs (most of the time)
unpack_raw_entry() will not allocate and return decompressed blobs if
they are larger than core.bigFileThreshold. sha1_object() may not be
called on those objects because there's no actual content.

sha1_object() is called later on those objects, where we can safely
use get_data_from_pack() to retrieve blob content for checking.
However we always do that when we definitely need the blob
content. And we often don't.

There are two cases when we may need object content. The first case is
when we find an in-repo blob with the same SHA-1. We need to do
collision test, byte-on-byte. If this test is on, the blob must be
loaded on memory (i.e. no streaming). Normally (e.g. in
fetch/pull/clone) this does not happen because git avoid to send
objects that client already has.

The other case is when --strict is specified and the object in
question is not a blob, which can't happen in reality becase we deal
with large _blobs_ here.

Note: --verify (or git-verify-pack) a pack from current repository
will trigger collision test on every object in the pack, which
effectively disables this patch. This could be easily worked around by
setting GIT_DIR to an imaginary place with no packs.

b038a61020 index-pack: disable threading if NO_PREAD is defined
NO_PREAD simulates pread() as a sequence of seek, read, seek in
compat/pread.c. The simulation is not thread-safe because another
thread could move the file offset away in the middle of pread
operation. Do not allow threading in that case.

b8a2486f15 index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolving
This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base
cache per thread. Per-thread data is grouped in struct thread_local.
When running with nr_threads == 1, no pthreads calls are made. The
system essentially runs in non-thread mode.

An experiment on a Xeon 24 core machine with git.git shows that
performance does not increase proportional to the number of cores. So
by default, we use maximum 3 cores. Some numbers with --threads from 1

5272f75587 index-pack: restructure pack processing into three main functions
The second pass in parse_pack_objects() are split into
resolve_deltas(). The final phase, fixing thin pack or just seal the
pack, is now in conclude_pack() function. Main pack processing is now
a sequence of these functions:

 - parse_pack_objects() reads through the input pack
 - resolve_deltas()     makes sure all deltas can be resolved
 - conclude_pack()      seals the output pack
 - write_idx_file()     writes companion index file
 - final()              moves the pack/index to proper place

20e95d0a84 index-pack: eliminate unlimited recursion in get_base_data()
Revese the order of delta applying so that by the time a delta is
applied, its base is either non-delta or already inflated.
get_base_data() is still recursive, but because base's data is always
ready, the inner get_base_data() call never has any chance to call
itself again.

2baad22013 index-pack: eliminate recursion in find_unresolved_deltas
Current find_unresolved_deltas() links all bases together in a form of
tree, using struct base_data, with prev_base pointer to point to
parent node. Then it traverses down from parent to children in
recursive manner with all base_data allocated on stack.

To eliminate recursion, we simply need to put all on heap
(parse_pack_objects and fix_unresolved_deltas). After that, it's
simple non-recursive depth-first traversal loop. Each node also
maintains its own state (ofs and ref indices) to iterate over all
children nodes.

So we process one node:

 - if it returns a new (child) node (a parent base), we link it to our
   tree, then process the new node.

 - if it returns nothing, the node is done, free it. We go back to
   parent node and resume whatever it's doing.

and do it until we have no nodes to process.

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)

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

ef49a7a012 zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a time
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.

But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.

In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.

Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

55bb5c9147 zlib: wrap deflate side of the API
Wrap deflateInit, deflate, and deflateEnd for everybody, and the sole use
of deflateInit2 in remote-curl.c to tell the library to use gzip header
and trailer in git_deflate_init_gzip().

There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the
status and act on it (i.e. die) for now, but we would probably want to
make inflate_end/deflate_end die when they ran out of memory and get
rid of the _gently() kind.

38a4556198 index-pack: start learning to emulate "verify-pack -v"
The "index-pack" machinery already has almost enough knowledge to produce
the same output as "verify-pack -v". Fill small gaps in its bookkeeping,
and teach it to show what it knows.

Add a few more command line options that do not have to be advertised to
the end users. They will be used internally when verify-pack calls this.
The eventual goal is to remove verify-pack implementation and redo it as a
thin wrapper around the index-pack, so that we can remove the rather
expensive packed_object_info_detail() API.

This still does not do the delta-chain-depth histogram yet but that part
is easy.

9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

only when the offset does not fit within 31-bit, but you can handcraft

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

e337a04de2 index-pack: --verify
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.

6e2a09d24b index-pack: Don't follow replace refs.
Without this, attempting to index a pack containing objects that have been
replaced results in a fatal error that looks like:

fatal: SHA1 COLLISION FOUND WITH <replaced-object> !

3f8099fce7 Revert "rehabilitate 'git index-pack' inside the object store"
Now setup_git_directory_gently behaves sanely even from subdirs of
.git, so simplify index-pack by no longer protecting against that.

This reverts commit a672ea6ac5
(excluding tests).

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
