TemporaryBuffer is great when the output size is not known, but must
be bound by a relatively large upper limit that fits in memory, e.g.
64 KiB or 20 MiB. The buffer gracefully supports growing storage by
allocating 8 KiB blocks and storing them in an ArrayList.
In a Git repository many deltas are less than 8 KiB. Typical tree
objects are well below this threshold, and their deltas must be
encoded even smaller.
For these much smaller cases avoid the 8 KiB minimum allocation used
by TemporaryBuffer. Instead allocate a very small OutputStream
writing to an array that is sized at the limit.

Nicolas Pitre discovered a very simple rule for selecting between two
different delta base candidates:
- if based whole object, must be <= 50% of target
- if at end of a chain, must be <= 1/depth * 50% of target
The rule penalizes deltas near the end of the chain, requiring them to
be very small in order to be kept by the packer. This favors deltas
that are based on a shorter chain, where the read-time unpack cost is
much lower. Fewer bytes need to be consulted from the source pack
file, and less copying is required in memory to rebuild the object.
Junio Hamano explained Nico's rule to me today, and this commit fixes
DeltaWindow to implement it as described.
When no base has been chosen the computation is simply the statements
denoted above. However once a base with depth of 9 has been chosen
(e.g. when pack.depth is limited to 10), a non-delta source may
create a new delta that is up to 10x larger than the already selected
base. This reflects the intent of Nico's size distribution rule no
matter what order objects are visited in the DeltaWindow.

The improved JGit result for the head pack is only 6.4 KiB larger than
CGit's resulting pack. This patch allowed JGit to find an additional

than CGit, despite also creating bitmaps and pruning objects after the
head pack creation.

When an idle thread tries to steal work from a sibling's remaining
toSearch queue, always try to split along a path boundary. This
avoids missing delta opportunities in the current window of the
thread whose work is being taken.
The search order is reversed to walk further down the chain from
current position, avoiding the risk of splitting the list within
the path the thread is currently processing.
When selecting which thread to split from use an accurate estimate
of the size to be taken. This avoids selecting a thread that has
only one path remaining but may contain more pending entries than
another thread with several paths remaining.
As there is now a race condition where the straggling thread can
start the next path before the split can finish, the stealWork()
loop spins until it is able to acquire a split or there is only
one path remaining in the siblings.

PackWriter generally chooses the order for objects when it builds the
object lists. This ordering already depends on history information to
guide placing more recent objects first and historical objects last.
Allow PackWriter to make the basic ordering decisions, instead of
trying to override them. The old approach of sorting the list caused
DfsReader to override any ordering change PackWriter might have tried
to make when repacking a repository.
This now better matches with WindowCursor's implementation, where
PackWriter solely determines the object ordering.

Typical window sizes are 10 and 250 (although others are accepted).
In either case the pointer overhead of 1 pointer in an array or
2 pointers for a double linked list is trivial. A doubly linked
list as used here for window=250 is only another 1024 bytes on a
32 bit machine, or 2048 bytes on a 64 bit machine.
The critical search loops scan through the array in either the
previous direction or the next direction until the cycle is finished,
or some other scan abort condition is reached. Loading the next
object's pointer from a field in the current object avoids the
branch required to test for wrapping around the edge of the array.
It also saves the array bounds check on each access.
When a delta is chosen the window is shuffled to hoist the currently
selected base as an earlier candidate for the next object. Moving
the window entry is easier in a double-linked list than sliding a
group of array entries.

Most objects are written as OFS_DELTA with the base in the pack,
that is why this case comes first in writeHeader(). Rewrite the
condition to always examine this first and cache the PackWriter's
formatting flag for use of OFS_DELTA headers, in modern Git networks
this is true more often then it it is false.
Assume the cost of write() is high, especially due to entering the
MessageDigest to update the pack footer SHA-1 computation. Combine
the OFS_DELTA information as part of the header buffer so that the
entire burst is a single write call, rather than two relatively
small ones. Most OFS_DELTA headers are <= 6 bytes, so this rewrite
tranforms 2 writes of 3 bytes each into 1 write of ~6 bytes.
Try to simplify the objectHeader code to reduce branches and use
more local registers. This shouldn't really be necessary if the
compiler is well optimized, but it isn't very hard to clarify data
usage to either javac or the JIT, which may make it easier for the
JIT to produce better machine code for this method.

If a server is streaming 3GiB worth of pack data to a client there
is no reason to compute the CRC32 checksum on the objects. The
CRC32 code computed by PackWriter is used only in the new index
created by writeIndex(), which is never invoked for the native Git
network protocols.
Object reuse may still compute its own CRC32 to verify the data
being copied from an existing pack has not been corrupted. This
check is done by the ObjectReader that implements ObjectReuseAsIs
and has no relationship to the CRC32 being skipped during output.

If the configuration wants to run 4 threads the delta search work
is initially split somewhat evenly across the 4 threads. During
execution some threads will finish early due to the work not being
split fairly, as the initial partitions were based on object count
and not cost to inflate or size of DeltaIndex.
When a thread finishes early it now tries to take 50% of the work
remaining on a sibling thread, and executes that before exiting.
This repeats as each thread completes until a thread has only 1
object remaining.

Some packs built by JGit have incredibly long delta chains due to a
long standing bug in PackWriter. Google has packs created by JGit's
DfsGarbageCollector with chains of 6000 objects long, or more.
Inflating objects at the end of this 6000 long chain is impossible
to complete within a reasonable time bound. It could take a beefy
system hours to perform even using the heavily optimized native C
implementation of Git, let alone with JGit.
Enable pack.cutDeltaChains to be set in a configuration file to
permit the PackWriter to determine the length of each delta chain
and clip the chain at arbitrary points to fit within pack.depth.
Delta chain cycles are still possible, but no attempt is made to
detect them. A trivial chain of A->B->A will iterate for the full
pack.depth configured limit (e.g. 50) and then pick an object to
store as non-delta.
When cutting chains the object list is walked in reverse to try
and take advantage of existing chain computations. The assumption
here is most deltas are near the end of the list, and their bases
are near the front of the list. Going up from the tail attempts to
reuse chainLength computations by relying on the memoized value in
the delta base.
The chainLength field in ObjectToPack is overloaded into the depth
field normally used by DeltaWindow. This is acceptable because the
chain cut happens before delta search, and the chainLength is reset
to 0 if delta search will follow.

Object type 5 is currently undefined. In the old code it would hit
the default and return true. In the new code it will match the early
case and also return true. In either implementation 5 should never show

Free up the WANT_WRITE flag in ObjectToPack by switching the test
to use the special offset value of 1. The Git pack file format
calls for the first 4 bytes to be 'PACK', which means any object
must start at an offset >= 4. Current versions require another 8
bytes in the header, placing the first object at offset = 12.
So offset = 1 is an invalid location for an object, and can be
used as a marker signal to indicate the writing loop has tried
to write the object, but recursed into the base first. When an
object is visited with offset == 1 it means there is a cycle in
the delta base path, and the cycle must be broken.

Garbage is randomly ordered and unlikely to delta compress against
other garbage. Disable delta compression allowing objects to switch
to whole form when moving to the garbage pack.
Because the garbage is not well compressed assume deltas were not
attempted during a normal GC cycle.
Override the reuse settings, garbage that can be reused should be
reused as-is into the garbage pack rather than switching something
like the compression level during a GC. It is intended that garbage
will eventually be removed from the repository so expending CPU
time on a compression switch is not worthwhile.

This implementation has been proven to deadlock in production server
loads. Google has been running with it disabled for a quite a while,
as the bugs have been difficult to identify and fix.
Instead of suggesting it works and is useful, drop the code. JGit
should not advertise support for functionality that is known to
be broken.
In a few of the places where read-ahead was enabled by DfsReader
there is more information about what blocks should be loaded when.
During object representation selection, or size lookup, or sending
object as-is to a PackWriter, or sending an entire pack as-is the
reader knows exactly which blocks are required in the cache, and it
also can compute when those will be needed. The broken read-ahead
code was stupid and just read a fixed amount ahead of the current
offset, which can waste IOs if more precise data was available.
DFS systems are usually slow to respond so read-ahead is still
a desired feature, but it needs to be rebuilt from scratch and
make better use of the offset information.

Rewrite this complicated logic to examine each pack file exactly
once. This reduces thrashing when there are many large pack files
present and the reader needs to locate each object's header.
The intermediate temporary list is now smaller, it is bounded to
the same length as the input object list. In the prior version of
this code the list contained one entry for every representation of
every object being packed.
Only one representation object is allocated, reducing the overall
memory footprint to be approximately one reference per object found
in the current pack file (the pointer in the BlockList). This saves
considerable working set memory compared to the prior version that
made and held onto a new representation for every ObjectToPack.

Due to the Git internal sort order a directory is sorted as if it ended
with a '/', this means that the path filter didn't set the last possible
matching entry to the correct value. In the reported issue we had the
following filters.
org.eclipse.jgit.console
org.eclipse.jgit
As an optimization we throw a StopWalkException when the walked tree
passes the last possible filter, which was this:
org.eclipse.jgit.console
Due to the git sorting order, the tree was processed in this order:
org.eclipse.jgit.console
org.eclipse.jgit.test
org.eclipse.jgit
At org.eclipse.jgit.test we threw the StopWalkException preventing the
walk from completing successfully.
A correct last possible match should be:
org.eclipse.jgit/
For simplicit we define it as:
org/eclipse/jgit/
This filter would be the maximum if we also had e.g. org and org.eclipse
in the filter, but that would require more work so we simply replace all
characters lower than '/' by a slash.
We believe the possible extra walking does not not warrant the extra
analysis.
