2005-06-29[PATCH] Add git-verify-pack command.Junio C Hamano
Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency. This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache when the --full flag is used. During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check. We may further want to check the pack signature and version when we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch. Earlier, errors to map a pack file was not flagged fatal but led to a random fatal error later. This version explicitly die()s when such an error is detected.

2005-06-29Make git pack files use little-endian size encodingLinus Torvalds
This makes it match the new delta encoding, and admittedly makes the code easier to follow. This also updates the PACK file version to 2, since this (and the delta encoding change in the previous commit) are incompatible with the old format.
2005-06-28Change pack file format. Hopefully for the last time.Linus Torvalds
This also adds a header with a signature, version info, and the number of objects to the pack file. It also encodes the file length and type more efficiently.
