This means that the .git/objects/pack directory is also rsync'able,
since the filenames created there-in are either unique or refer to the
same data.
Otherwise you might not be able to pull from a directory that is partly
packed without having to worry about missing objects due to pack-file
name clashes.
In particular, check that it's a symlink, and points to refs/heads/. We
depend on that these days not only for "git checkout", but also because
fsck and others only check for references in the .git/refs/
subdirectory, not things like HEAD itself.
This implements show_pack_info() function used in verify-pack
command when -v flag is used to obtain something like
unpack-objects used to give when it was first written.
It shows the following for each non-deltified object found in
the pack:
SHA1 type size offset
For deltified objects, it shows this instead:
SHA1 type size offset depth base_sha1
In order to get the output in the order that appear in the pack
file for debugging purposes, you can do this:
$ git-verify-pack -v packfile | sort -n -k 4,4

Nico pointed out that having verify_pack.c and verify-pack.c was
confusing. Rename verify_pack.c to pack-check.c as suggested,
and enhances the verification done quite a bit.
- Built-in sha1_file unpacking knows that a base object of a
deltified object _must_ be in the same pack, and takes
advantage of that fact.
- Earlier verify-pack command only checked the SHA1 sum for the
entire pack file and did not look into its contents. It now
checks everything idx file claims to have unpacks correctly.
- It now has a hook to give more detailed information for
objects contained in the pack under -v flag.

This teaches packed_delta_info() that it only needs to look at
the type of the base object to figure out both type and size of
a deltified object. This saves quite a many calls to inflate()
when dealing with a deep delta chain.

This makes the receiver always send a full list of valid refs, which
will allow us to do better packs, as well as handle creation of new
refs. Eventually. Right now we just moved the matching and enabled it.
So now you can do
git-send-pack host:path branch1 branch2
to only send branches "branch1" and "branch2".
A "old ref" of all zeroes is considered a "don't care" ref, and allows
us to say "write the new ref regardless of what the old ref contained
(or even if it existed at all)".
This allows (if git-send-pack were to do it) creating new refs, and
fixing up old ones.
This concludes this lesson. I've actually successfully sent an update
using the git-send-pack command.
Probably tons of work still to do, and nasty debugging, but it's now
actually potentially useful.
After unpacking the object pack successfully, we go through the list of
refs, and verify that they still contain their expected values. Then we
replace them with the new ones.
This patch removes an unnecessary sort from the t6001 testcase.
Sorts were previously necessary when testing non --merge-order cases
because the output order wasn't entirely deterministic unless commit
date was fixed.
However, commit dates are now fixed, so the need for a sort has
disappeared. So the sort has been removed.

Junio discovered a problem where an actual test case break was hidden

This patch fixes the broken infrastructure (and demonstrates the break

This patch makes --merge-order produce the same list as git-rev-list
without --merge-order specified.
In particular, if the graph looks like this:
A
| B
|/
C
|
D
The both git-rev-list B ^A and git-rev-list --merge-order will produce B.
The unit tests have been changed to reflect the fact that the prune
points are now formally part of the start list that is used to perform
the --merge-order sort.
That is: git-rev-list --merge-order A ^D used to produce
= A
| C
It now produces:
^ A

git-rev-list --merge-order A ^B should produce just A. Instead

It's not working yet, but it's at the point where I want to be able to
track my changes. The theory of operation is that this is the "remote"
side of a "git push". It can tell us what references the remote side
has, receives out reference update commands and a pack-file, and can
execute the unpacking command.
Now you can give git-rev-list tags, trees and blobs, and it will do the
proper reachability for them all. Knock wood.
Of course, you need the "--objects" flag to do anything but plain
commits.
We want to be able to just say "give a difference between these
objects", rather than limiting it to commits only. This isn't there
yet, but it sets things up to be a bit easier.
It now always read from standard input and rejects non-flag
arguments.

It can no longer be as verbose, since it doesn't have a good way to
resolve deltas (now that it is purely streaming, it cannot seek around
to read the objects a delta is based on).
But it can check that the thing unpacks cleanly at least as far as pack
syntax goes - all the objects uncompress cleanly, and the pack has the
right final SHA1.
I'd like to add back the "dry-run" thing, but it turns out that to do it
well, I'd have to keep all the object data in memory (which is not
acceptable). So I'll clean it up a bit and make it do as many checks as
it can.
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.

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.
Since the delta data format is not tied to any actual git object
anymore, now is the time to add a small improvement to the delta data
header as it is been done for packed object header. This patch allows
for reducing the delta header of about 2 bytes and makes for simpler
code.

Deltas are useless by themselves and when you use them you need to get
to their base objects. A base object should inherit recency from the
most recent deltified object that is based on it and that is what this
patch teaches git-pack-objects.

It gets a bit more complicated to unpack in a streaming environment, but
here it is. The rewrite is actually a lot cleaner in other ways, it's
just a bit more subtle.
The diff_delta() interface was extended to reject generating too big a
delta while we were working on the packed GIT archive format.
Take advantage of that when generating delta in the similarity estimator
used in diffcore-rename.c
