The most expensive part of packing a repository for transport to
another system is enumerating all of the objects in the repository.
Once this gets to the size of the linux-2.6 repository (1.8 million
objects), enumeration can take several CPU minutes and costs a lot
of temporary working set memory.
Teach PackWriter to efficiently reuse an existing "cached pack"
by answering a clone request with a thin pack followed by a larger
cached pack appended to the end. This requires the repository
owner to first construct the cached pack by hand, and record the
tip commits inside of $GIT_DIR/objects/info/cached-packs:
cd $GIT_DIR
root=$(git rev-parse master)
tmp=objects/.tmp-$$
names=$(echo $root | git pack-objects --keep-true-parents --revs $tmp)
for n in $names; do
chmod a-w $tmp-$n.pack $tmp-$n.idx
touch objects/pack/pack-$n.keep
mv $tmp-$n.pack objects/pack/pack-$n.pack
mv $tmp-$n.idx objects/pack/pack-$n.idx
done
(echo "+ $root";
for n in $names; do echo "P $n"; done;
echo) >>objects/info/cached-packs
git repack -a -d
When a clone request needs to include $root, the corresponding
cached pack will be copied as-is, rather than enumerating all of
the objects that are reachable from $root.
For a linux-2.6 kernel repository that should be about 376 MiB,
the above process creates two packs of 368 MiB and 38 MiB[1].
This is a local disk usage increase of ~26 MiB, due to reduced
delta compression between the large cached pack and the smaller
recent activity pack. The overhead is similar to 1 full copy of
the compressed project sources.
With this cached pack in hand, JGit daemon completes a clone request
in 1m17s less time, but a slightly larger data transfer (+2.39 MiB):

Repository owners can periodically refresh their cached packs by
repacking their repository, folding all newer objects into a larger
cached pack. Since repacking is already considered to be a normal
Git maintenance activity, this isn't a very big burden.

It isn't strictly necessary to validate every reference's target
object is reachable in the repository before advertising it to a
client. This is an expensive operation when there are thousands of
references, and its very unlikely that a reference uses a missing
object, because garbage collection proceeds from the references and
walks down through the graph. So trying to hide a dangling reference
from clients is relatively pointless.
Even if we are trying to avoid giving a client a corrupt repository,
this simple check isn't sufficient. It is possible for a reference to
point to a valid commit, but that commit to have a missing blob in its
root tree. This can be caused by staging a file into the index,
waiting several weeks, then committing that file while also racing
against a prune. The prune may delete the blob, since its
modification time is more than 2 weeks ago, but retain the commit,
since its modification time is right now.
Such graph corruption is already caught during PackWriter as it
enumerates the graph from the client's want list and digs back
to the roots or common base. Leave the reference validation also
for that same phase, where we know we have to parse the object to
support the enumeration.

When MergeMessageFormatter was given a symbolic ref HEAD which points to
refs/heads/master (which is the case when merging a branch in EGit), it
would result in a merge message like the following:
Merge branch 'a' into HEAD
But it should print the following (as C Git does):
Merge branch 'a'
The solution is to use the leaf ref when checking for refs/heads/master.

There is no point in pushing all of the files within the edge
commits into the delta search when making a thin pack. This floods
the delta search window with objects that are unlikely to be useful
bases for the objects that will be written out, resulting in lower
data compression and higher transfer sizes.
Instead observe the path of a tree or blob that is being pushed
into the outgoing set, and use that path to locate up to WINDOW
ancestor versions from the edge commits. Push only those objects
into the edgeObjects set, reducing the number of objects seen by the
search window. This allows PackWriter to only look at ancestors
for the modified files, rather than all files in the project.
Limiting the search to WINDOW size makes sense, because more than
WINDOW edge objects will just skip through the window search as
none of them need to be delta compressed.
To further improve compression, sort edge objects into the front
of the window list, rather than randomly throughout. This puts
non-edges later in the window and gives them a better chance at
finding their base, since they search backwards through the window.
These changes make a significant difference in the thin-pack:

Some of this code predates making ObjectId.equals() final
and fixing RevObject.equals() to match ObjectId.equals().
It was therefore more complex than it needs to be, because
it tried to work around RevObject's broken equals() rules
by converting to ObjectId in a different collection.
Also combine setUpWalker() and findObjectsToPack() methods,
these can be one method and the code is actually cleaner.

CGit push clients 1.6.6 and later support progress messages on the
side-band-64k channel during push, as this was introduced to handle
server side hook errors reported over smart HTTP.
Since JGit's delta resolution isn't always as fast as CGit's is,
a user may think the server has crashed and failed to report
status if the user pushed a lot of content and sees no feedback.
Exposing the progress monitor during the resolving deltas phase
will let the user know the server is still making forward progress.
This also helps BasePackPushConnection, which has a bounded timeout
on how long it will wait before assuming the remote server is dead.
Progress messages pushed down the side-band channel will reset the
read timer, helping the connection to stay alive and avoid timing
out before the remote side's work is complete.

This reverts commit f5fe2dca3c.
I regret adding this feature to the public API. Caches aren't always
the best idea, as they require work to maintain. Here the cache is
redundant information that must be computed, and when it grows stale
must be removed. The redundant information takes up more disk space,
about the same size as the pack-*.idx files are. For the linux-2.6
repository, that's more than 40 MB for a 400 MB repository. So the
cache is a 10% increase in disk usage.
The entire point of this cache is to improve PackWriter performance,
and only PackWriter performance, and only when sending an initial
clone to a new client. There may be better ways to optimize this, and
until we have a solid solution, we shouldn't be using a separate cache
in JGit.

Counting the objects needed for packing is the most expensive part of
an UploadPack request that has no uninteresting objects (otherwise
known as an initial clone). During this phase the PackWriter is
enumerating the entire set of objects in this repository, so they can
be sent to the client for their new clone.
Allow the ObjectReader (and therefore the underlying storage system)
to keep a cached list of all reachable objects from a small number of
points in the project's history. If one of those points is reached
during enumeration of the commit graph, most objects are obtained from
the cached list instead of direct traversal.
PackWriter uses the list by discarding the current object lists and
restarting a traversal from all refs but marking the object list name
as uninteresting. This allows PackWriter to enumerate all objects
that are more recent than the list creation, or that were on side
branches that the list does not include.
However, ObjectWalk tags all of the trees and commits within the list
commit as UNINTERESTING, which would normally cause PackWriter to
construct a thin pack that excludes these objects. To avoid that,
addObject() was refactored to allow this list-based enumeration to
always include an object, even if it has been tagged UNINTERESTING by
the ObjectWalk. This implies the list-based enumeration may only be
used for initial clones, where all objects are being sent.
The UNINTERESTING labeling occurs because StartGenerator always
enables the BoundaryGenerator if the walker is an ObjectWalk and a
commit was marked UNINTERESTING, even if RevSort.BOUNDARY was not
enabled. This is the default reasonable behavior for an ObjectWalk,
but isn't desired here in PackWriter with the list-based enumeration.
Rather than trying to change all of this behavior, PackWriter works
around it.
Because the list name commit's immediate files and trees were all
enumerated before the list enumeration itself starts (and are also
within the list itself) PackWriter runs the risk of adding the same
objects to its ObjectIdSubclassMap twice. Since this breaks the
internal map data structure (and also may cause the object to transmit
twice), PackWriter needs to use a new "added" RevFlag to track whether
or not an object has been put into the outgoing list yet.

When performing an initial clone of a repository there are no
uninteresting commits, and the resulting pack will be completely
self-contained. Therefore PackWriter does not need to honor C
Git standard TOPO ordering as described in JGit commit ba984ba2e0
("Fix checkReferencedIsReachable to use correct base list").
Switching to COMMIT_TIME_DESC when there are no uninteresting commits
allows the "Counting objects" phase to emit progress earlier, as the
RevWalk will not buffer the commit list. When TOPO is set the RevWalk
enumerates all commits first, before outputing any for PackWriter to
mark progress updates from.
