[PATCH v4 02/17] chunk-format: create chunk format write API

From

Message-ID
<da1fcc68357609cfb379a2487c139665efbba59f.1613657259.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.848.v4.git.1613657259.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

In anticipation of combining the logic from the commit-graph and multi-pack-index file formats, create a new chunk-format API. Use a 'struct chunkfile' pointer to keep track of data that has been registered for writes. This struct is anonymous outside of chunk-format.c to ensure no user attempts to interfere with the data.

The next change will use this API in commit-graph.c, but the general approach is:

 1. initialize the chunkfile with init_chunkfile(f).
 2. add chunks in the intended writing order with add_chunk().
 3. write any header information to the hashfile f.
 4. write the chunkfile data using write_chunkfile().
 5. free the chunkfile struct using free_chunkfile().
