[PATCH 01/11] repo-settings: create repo.size=large setting

Message-ID: <704613f4480e3b9aacab91d2241247791f34ce22.1559593097.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.254.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

Several advanced config settings are highly recommended for clients using large repositories. Power users learn these one-by-one and enable them as they see fit. This could be made simpler, to allow more users to have access to these almost-always beneficial features (and more beneficial in larger repos).

Create a 'repo.size' config setting whose only accepted value is 'large'. When a repo.size=large is given, change the default values of some config settings. If the setting is given explicitly, then take the explicit value.

This change adds these two defaults to the repo.size=large setting:

 * core.commitGraph=true
 * gc.writeCommitGraph=true

To centralize these config options and properly set the defaults, create a repo_settings that contains chars for each config variable. Use -1 as "unset", with 0 for false and 1 for true.

The prepare_repo_settings() method ensures that this settings struct has been initialized, and avoids double-scanning the config settings.
