Eric W. Biederman 9eb5419799 bulk-checkin: only support blobs in index_bulk_checkin
As the code is written today index_bulk_checkin only accepts blobs.
Remove the enum object_type parameter and rename index_bulk_checkin to
index_blob_bulk_checkin, index_stream to index_blob_stream,
deflate_to_pack to deflate_blob_to_pack, stream_to_pack to
stream_blob_to_pack, to make this explicit.

Not supporting commits, tags, or trees has no downside as it is not
currently supported now, and commits, tags, and trees being smaller by
design do not have the problem that the problem that index_bulk_checkin
was built to solve.

Before we start adding code to support the hash function transition
supporting additional objects types in index_bulk_checkin has no real
additional cost, just an extra function parameter to know what the
object type is.  Once we begin the hash function transition this is not
the case.

The hash function transition document specifies that a repository with
compatObjectFormat enabled will compute and store both the SHA-1 and
SHA-256 hash of every object in the repository.

What makes this a challenge is that it is not just an additional hash
over the same object.  Instead the hash function transition document
specifies that the compatibility hash (specified with
compatObjectFormat) be computed over the equivalent object that another
git repository whose storage hash (specified with objectFormat) would
store.  When comparing equivalent repositories built with different
storage hash functions, the oids embedded in objects used to refer to
other objects differ and the location of signatures within objects
differ.

As blob objects have neither oids referring to other objects nor stored
signatures their storage hash and their compatibility hash are computed
over the same object.

The other kinds of objects: trees, commits, and tags, all store oids
referring to other objects.  Signatures are stored in commit and tag
objects.  As oids and the tags to store signatures are not the same size
in repositories built with different storage hashes the size of the
equivalent objects are also different.

A version of index_bulk_checkin that supports more than just blobs when
computing both the SHA-1 and the SHA-256 of every object added would
need a different, and more expensive structure.  The structure is more
expensive because it would be required to temporarily buffering the
equivalent object the compatibility hash needs to be computed over.

A temporary object is needed, because before a hash over an object can
computed it's object header needs to be computed.  One of the members of
the object header is the entire size of the object.  To know the size of
an equivalent object an entire pass over the original object needs to be
made, as trees, commits, and tags are composed of a variable number of
variable sized pieces.  Unfortunately there is no formula to compute the
size of an equivalent object from just the size of the original object.

Avoid all of those future complications by limiting index_bulk_checkin
to only work on blobs.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
