gc: add --keep-largest-pack option
This adds a new repack mode that combines everything into a secondary pack, leaving the largest pack alone. This could help reduce memory pressure. On linux-2.6.git, valgrind massif reports 1.6GB heap in "pack all" case, and 535MB in "pack all except the base pack" case. We save roughly 1GB memory by excluding the base pack. This should also lower I/O because we don't have to rewrite a giant pack every time (e.g. for linux-2.6.git that's a 1.4GB pack file).. PS. The use of string_list here seems overkill, but we'll need it in the next patch... Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
