Copying the first bytes of a SHA1 is duplicated in six places,
however, the implications (the actual value would depend on the
endianness of the platform) is documented only once.

Whenever the hash table becomes too small then its size is increased,
the original part (and the added space) is zerod out using memset(),
and the table is rebuilt from scratch.
Simplify this proceess by returning the old memory using free() and
allocating the new buffer using xcalloc(), which already clears the
buffer for us. That way we avoid copying the old hash table contents
needlessly inside xrealloc().
While at it, use the first array member with sizeof instead of a
specific type. The old code used uint32_t and int, while index is
actually an array of int32_t. Their sizes are the same basically
everywhere, so it's not actually a problem, but the new code is
cleaner and doesn't have to be touched should the type be changed.

The hash table that stores the packing list for a given `pack-objects`
run was tightly coupled to the pack-objects code.
In this commit, we refactor the hash table and the underlying storage
array into a `packing_data` struct. The functionality for accessing and
adding entries to the packing list is hence accessible from other parts
of Git besides the `pack-objects` builtin.
This refactoring is a requirement for further patches in this series
that will require accessing the commit packing list from outside of
`pack-objects`.
The hash table implementation has been minimally altered: we now
use table sizes which are always a power of two, to ensure a uniform
index distribution in the array.

For some repositories, deltas simply don't make sense. One can disable
them for git-repack by adding --window, but git-push insists on making
the deltas which can be very CPU-intensive for little benefit.

If no delta is attempted on some objects then it is useless to load them
in memory, neither create any delta index for them. The best thing to
do is therefore to load and index them only when really needed.

In the repacking window, if both objects we are looking at already came
from the same (old) pack-file, don't bother delta'ing them against each
other.
That means that we'll still always check for better deltas for (and
against!) _unpacked_ objects, but assuming incremental repacks, you'll
avoid the delta creation 99% of the time.

This trivial patch not only simplifies the name hashing, it actually
improves packing for both git and the kernel.
The git archive pack shrinks from 6824090->6622627 bytes (a 3%
improvement), and the kernel pack shrinks from 108756213 to 108219021 (a
mere 0.5% improvement, but still, it's an improvement from making the
hashing much simpler!)
We just create a 32-bit hash, where we "age" previous characters by two
bits, so the last characters in a filename count most. So when we then
compare the hashes in the sort routine, filenames that end the same way
sort the same way.
It takes the subdirectory into account (unless the filename is > 16
characters), but files with the same name within the same subdirectory
will obviously sort closer than files in different subdirectories.
And, incidentally (which is why I tried the hash change in the first
place, of course) builtin-rev-list.c will sort fairly close to rev-list.c.
And no, it's not a "good hash" in the sense of being secure or unique, but
that's not what we're looking for. The whole "hash" thing is misnamed
here. It's not so much a hash as a "sorting number".

This adds a "tree_entry()" function that combines the common operation of
doing a "tree_entry_extract()" + "update_tree_entry()".
It also has a simplified calling convention, designed for simple loops
that traverse over a whole tree: the arguments are pointers to the tree
descriptor and a name_entry structure to fill in, and it returns a boolean
"true" if there was an entry left to be gotten in the tree.
This allows tree traversal with
struct tree_desc desc;
struct name_entry entry;
desc.buf = tree->buffer;
desc.size = tree->size;
while (tree_entry(&desc, &entry) {
... use "entry.{path, sha1, mode, pathlen}" ...
}
which is not only shorter than writing it out in full, it's hopefully less
error prone too.
[ It's actually a tad faster too - we don't need to recalculate the entry
pathlength in both extract and update, but need to do it only once.
Also, some callers can avoid doing a "strlen()" on the result, since
it's returned as part of the name_entry structure.
However, by now we're talking just 1% speedup on "git-rev-list --objects
--all", and we're definitely at the point where tree walking is no
longer the issue any more. ]
NOTE! Not everybody wants to use this new helper function, since some of
the tree walkers very much on purpose do the descriptor update separately
from the entry extraction. So the "extract + update" sequence still
remains as the core sequence, this is just a simplified interface.
We should probably add a silly two-line inline helper function for
initializing the descriptor from the "struct tree" too, just to cut down
on the noise from that common "desc" initializer.

This provides a linear decrement on the penalty related to delta depth

Apparently <stdint.h> is not enough for uint32_t on OpenBSD; use
"unsigned int" -- hopefully that would stay 32-bit on every
platform we care about, at least until we update the pack-index
file format.
Our sha1 routines optimized for architectures use uint32_t and
expects '#include <stdint.h>' to be enough, so OpenBSD on arm or
ppc might have similar issues down the road, I dunno.

Avoid creating a delta index for objects with maximum depth since they
are not going to be used as delta base anyway. This also reduce peak
memory usage slightly as the current object's delta index is not useful
until the next object in the loop is considered for deltification. This
saves a bit more than 1% on CPU usage.

Given that the early eviction of objects with maximum delta depth
may exhibit bad packing on its own, why not considering a bias against
deep base objects in try_delta() to mitigate that bad behavior.
This patch adjust the MAX_size allowed for a delta based on the depth of
the base object as well as enabling the early eviction of max depth
objects from the object window. When used separately, those two things
produce slightly better and much worse results respectively. But their
combined effect is a surprising significant packing improvement.
With this really simple patch the GIT repo gets nearly 15% smaller, and
the Linux kernel repo about 5% smaller, with no significantly measurable
CPU usage difference.

The offset of an object in the pack is recorded as a 4-byte integer
in the index file. When reading the offset from the mmap'ed index
in prepare_pack_revindex(), the address is dereferenced as a long*.
This works fine as long as the long type is four bytes wide. On
NetBSD/sparc64, however, a long is 8 bytes wide and so dereferencing
the offset produces garbage.

Because we sort the delta window by name-hash and then size,
hitting an object that is too small to consider as a delta base
for the current object does not mean we do not have better
candidate in the window beyond it.

Jens Axboe noticed that recent "git push" has become very slow
since we made --thin transfer the default.
Thin pack generation to push a handful revisions that touch
relatively small number of paths out of huge tree was stupid; it
registered _everything_ from the excluded revisions. As a
result, "Counting objects" phase was unnecessarily expensive.
This changes the logic to register the blobs and trees from
excluded revisions only for paths we are actually going to send
to the other end.

This is the "letter of the law" version of using fgets() properly in the

Introduce tree-walk.[ch] and move "struct tree_desc" and
associated functions from various places.
Rename DIFF_FILE_CANON_MODE(mode) macro to canon_mode(mode) and
move it to cache.h. This macro returns the canonicalized
st_mode value in the host byte order for files, symlinks and
directories -- to be compared with a tree_desc entry.
create_ce_mode(mode) in cache.h is similar but is intended to be
used for index entries (so it does not work for directories) and
returns the value in the network byte order.

There was a misguided logic to overly prefer using objects that

When creating a new pack to be used in .git/objects/pack/
directory, we carefully count the depth of deltified objects to
be reused, so that the generated pack does not to exceed the
specified depth limit for runtime efficiency. However, when we
are generating a thin pack that does not contain base objects,
such a pack can only be used during network transfer that is
expanded on the other end upon reception, so being careful and
artificially cutting the delta chain does not buy us anything
except increased bandwidth requirement. This patch disables the
delta chain depth limit check when reusing an existing delta.

Since we sort objects by type, hash, preferredness and then
size, after we have a delta against preferred base, there is no
point trying a delta with non-preferred base. This seems to

If that pack is big, it takes significant time to write and might
