[PATCH 08/17] builtin/pack-objects.c: --cruft without expiration

From

Nov 29, 2021, 22:25 UTC
Message-ID
<66165917a4660f63ce60b820d178d52a51304d20.1638224692.git.me@ttaylorr.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1638224692.git.me@ttaylorr.com>

Teach `pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack when no objects are dropped (i.e., `--cruft-expiration=never`). Later patches will teach `pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack that prunes objects.

When generating a cruft pack which does not prune objects, we want to collect all unreachable objects into a single pack (noting and updating their mtimes as we accumulate them). Ordinary use will pass the result of a `git repack -A` as a kept pack, so when this patch says "kept pack", readers should think "reachable objects".

Generating a non-expiring cruft packs works as follows:
  - Callers provide a list of every pack they know about, and indicate
    which packs are about to be removed.
  - All packs which are going to be removed (we'll call these the
    redundant ones) are marked as kept in-core, as well as any packs
    that `pack-objects` found but the caller did not specify.
    These packs are presumed to have entered the repository between
    the caller collecting packs and invoking `pack-objects`. Since we
    do not want to include objects in these packs (because we don't know
    which of their objects are or aren't reachable), these are also
    marked as kept in-core.
  - Then, we enumerate all objects in the repository, and add them to
    our packing list if they do not appear in an in-core kept pack.

This results in a new cruft pack which contains all known objects that aren't included in the kept packs. When the kept pack is the result of `git repack -A`, the resulting pack contains all unreachable objects.
