Fix ArrayIndexOutOfBounds on non-square exact rename matrix
If the exact rename matrix for a particular ObjectId isn't square we
crashed with an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException because the matrix
entries were encoded backwards. The encode function accepts the
source (aka deleted) index first, not second. Add a unit test to
cover this non-square case to ensure we don't have this regression
in the future.

Fixed bug in scoring mechanism for rename detection
A bug in rename detection would cause file scores to be wrong. The
bug was due to the way rename detection would judge the similarity
between files. If file A has three lines containing 'foo', and file
B has 5 lines containing 'foo', the rename detection phase should
record that A and B have three lines in common (the minimum of the
number of times that line appears in both files). Instead, it would
choose the the number of times the line appeared in the destination
file, in this case file B. I fixed the bug by having the
SimilarityIndex instead choose the minimum number, as it should. I
also added a test case to verify that the bug had been fixed.
An utility method which was in RacyGitTests has been moved to
RepositoryTestCase. Also the javadoc has been improved.
This method allows to wait long enough until the
filesystem-timer has advanced. This is useful when it has to
be guaranteed that two files modifications have different
modification timestamps.

The indexState() method was enhanced to be more configurable. A bitmask
controls which of the optional parts are reported. All data about
the worktree is not reported anymore by this method which makes the
interface more cleaner for users wanting to test only the state of the
index.
This was done because the previous version reported always so much
additional data that it was hard to write good assertions against it.

In order to test racy git situations we have to be able to control
the last-modification timestamps of the filesystem. Since we already
access the modification timestamps of files through an abstraction
(the WorkingTreeIterator) I add a new implementation of this iterator
which allows to map timestamp-ranges to single constant timestamps.
For users of this iterator it looks like all files in that range
have been modified at exactly the same time.
With the help of this iterator a test has been writting which
checkes for racy git handling (smudging, unsmudging, dirty-detection).
Additionally add a method to RepositoryTestCase which encodes the
current index state in one String. This should include info about
pathes, file/index modtime, smudgeState, clean-state. Make
sure timestamps are presented in a way that it is easy to
write assertions against this strings (no concrete milliseconds
but t0,t1,...).
These two topics depend circulary on each other: thats why they have

This refactoring permits applications to configure global per-process

repository specific settings.
For example this might help in a daemon environment where the server
wants to cap the resources used to serve a dynamic upload pack

configured to be more aggressive. This allows fast but less bandwidth

Meaningful error message when trying to check-out submodules
Currently, a NullPointerException occurs in this case. We should
instead throw a more meaningful Exception with a proper message.
This is a very "stupid" implementation which simply checks for
the existence of a ".gitmodules" file.
the following tests fail under windows because certain inputstreams
are not closed and files cannot be deleted because of that. The
main problem I found is UnpackedObject.InflaterInputStream.close().
This method may throw exceptions found by checkValidEndOfStream()
but doesn't call super.close() before leaving. It is not clear to me
which resources a close() method should release before it throws an
exception. But those reseources which are not published to the
outside and which therefore cannot be closed by other means have to
be closed in all cases.
I changed the close() method to call super.close() under all
circumstances.
By deferring tag sorting until the commit is produced by the walker
we can avoid an infinite loop that was triggered by trying to sort
tags while allocating a commit. This also avoids needing to look
at commits which aren't going to be produced in the result.

Implemented file path based tie breaking to exact rename detection
During the exact rename detection phase in RenameDetector, ties were
resolved on a first-found basis. I added support for file path based
tie breaking during that phase. Basically, there are four situations
that have to be handled:
One add matching one delete:
In this simple case, we pair them as a rename.
One add matching many deletes:
Find the delete whos path matches the add the closest, and
pair them as a rename.
Many adds matching one delete:
Similar to the above case, we find the add that matches the
delete the closest, and pair them as a rename. The other adds
are marked as copies of the delete.
Many adds matching many deletes:
Build a scoring matrix similar to the one used for content-
based matching, scoring instead by file path. Some of the
utility functions in SimilarityRenameDetector are used in
this case, as we use the same encoding scheme. Once the
matrix is built, scan it for the best matches, marking them
as renames. The rest are marked as copies.
I don't particularly like the idea of using utility functions right
out of SimilarityRenameDetector, but it works for the moment. A later
commit will likely refactor this into a common utility class, as well
as bringing exact rename detection out of RenameDetector and into a
separate class, much like SimilarityRenameDetector.
Added possibility to compare the current entry of a WorkingTreeIterator
to a given DirCacheEntry. This is done to detect whether an entry
in the index is dirty or not. 'Dirty' means that the file in the working tree
is different from what's in the index. Merge algorithms will make use of
this to detect conflicts.

PackWriter now caches small deltas, or deltas that are very tiny
compared to their source inputs, so that the writing phase goes
faster by reusing those cached deltas.
The cached data is stored compressed, which usually translates to
a bigger footprint due to deltas being very hard to compress, but
saves time during writing by avoiding the deflate step. They are
held under SoftReferences so that the JVM GC can clear out deltas
if memory gets very tight. We would rather continue working and
spend a bit more CPU time during writing than crash due to OOME.
To avoid OutOfMemoryErrors during the caching phase we also trap
OOME and just abort out of the caching.
Because deflateBound() always produces something larger than what
we need to actually store the deflated data, we copy it over into
a new buffer if the actual length doesn't match the buffer length.
When packing jgit.git this saves over 111 KiB in the cache, and is
thus a worthwhile hit on CPU time.
To further save memory we store the inflated size of the delta
(which we need for the object header) in the same field as the
pathHash, as the pathHash is no longer necessary by this phase
of the packing algorithm.

PackWriter now produces new deltas if there is not a suitable delta
available for reuse from an existing pack file. This permits JGit to
send less data on the wire by sending a delta relative to an object
the other side already has, instead of sending the whole object.
The delta searching algorithm is similar in style to what C Git
uses, but apparently has some differences (see below for more on).
Briefly, objects that should be considered for delta compression are
pushed onto a list. This list is then sorted by a rough similarity
score, which is derived from the path name the object was discovered
at in the repository during object counting. The list is then
walked in order.
At each position in the list, up to $WINDOW objects prior to it
are attempted as delta bases. Each object in the window is tried,
and the shortest delta instruction sequence selects the base object.
Some rough rules are used to prevent pathological behavior during
this matching phase, like skipping pairings of objects that are
not similar enough in size.
PackWriter intentionally excludes commits and annotated tags from
this new delta search phase. In the JGit repository only 28 out
of 2600+ commits can be delta compressed by C Git. As the commit
count tends to be a fair percentage of the total number of objects
in the repository, and they generally do not delta compress well,
skipping over them can improve performance with little increase in
the output pack size.
Because this implementation was rebuilt from scratch based on my own
memory of how the packing algorithm has evolved over the years in
C Git, PackWriter, DeltaWindow, and DeltaEncoder don't use exactly
the same rules everywhere, and that leads JGit to produce different
(but logically equivalent) pack files.
For the above tests pack.threads was set to 1, window size=10,
delta depth=50, and delta and object reuse was disabled for both
implementations. Both implementations were reading from an already
fully packed repository on local disk. The running time reported
is after 1 warm-up run of the tested implementation.
PackWriter is writing 771 KiB more data on git.git, 3M more on
linux-2.6, but is actually 39.5 KiB smaller on jgit.git. Being
larger by less than 0.7% on linux-2.6 isn't bad, nor is taking an
extra 2 minutes to pack. On the running time side, JGit is at a
major disadvantage because linux-2.6 doesn't fit into the default
WindowCache of 20M, while C Git is able to mmap the entire pack and
have it available instantly in physical memory (assuming hot cache).
CGit also has a feature where it caches deltas that were created
during the compression phase, and uses those cached deltas during
the writing phase. PackWriter does not implement this (yet),
and therefore must create every delta twice. This could easily
account for the increased running time we are seeing.

debug-show-packdelta: Dump a pack delta to the console
This is a horribly crude application, it doesn't even verify that
the object its dumping is delta encoded. Its method of getting the
delta is pretty abusive to the public PackWriter API, because right
now we don't want to expose the real internal low-level methods
actually required to do this.

DeltaIndex is a simple pack style delta generator. The function works
by creating a compact index of a source buffer's blocks, and then
walking a sliding window along a desired result buffer, searching for
the window in the index. When a match is found, the window is
stretched to the longest possible length that is common with the
source buffer, and a copy instruction is created.
Rabin's polynomial hash function is used to compute the hash for a
block, permitting efficient sliding of the window in single byte
increments. The update function to slide one byte originated from
David Mazieres' work in LBFS, and our implementation of the update
step was certainly inspired by the initial work Geert Bosch proposed
for C Git in http://marc.info/?l=git&m=114565424620771&w=2.
To ensure the encoder runs in linear time with respect to the size of
the two input buffers (source and result), the maximum number of
blocks that can share the same position in the index's hashtable is
capped at a constant number. This prevents bad inputs from causing
the encoder to run in quadratic time, but comes with a penalty of
creating a longer delta due to fewer considered copy positions.
Strange hackery is used to cap the amount of memory used by the index
to be no more than 12 bytes for every 16 bytes of source buffer, no
matter what the JVM per-object overhead is. This permits an index to
always be no larger than 1.75x the source buffer length, which is an
important feature to support large windows of candidates to match
against while packing. Here the strange hackery is nothing more than
a manually managed chained hashtable, where pointers are array indexes
into storage arrays rather than object references.
Computation of the hash function for a single fixed sized block is
done through an unrolled loop, where the first 4 iterations have been
manually reduced down to eliminate unnecessary instructions. The
pattern is derived from ObjectId.equals(byte[], int, byte[], int),
where we have unrolled the loop required to compare two 20 byte
arrays. Hours of testing with the Sun 1.6 JRE concluded that the
non-obvious "foo[idx + 1]" style of reference is faster than
"foo[idx++]", and so that is what we use here during hashing.

Make ObjectToPack clearReuseAsIs signal available to subclasses
A subclass may want to use this method to release handles that are
caching reuse information. Make it protected so they can override
it and update themselves.

Searching for reuse candidates should be fast compared to actually
doing delta compression. So pull the progress monitor out of this
phase and rename it back to identify the compressing objects state.

Long ago when PackWriter is first written we thought that the delta
depth could be updated automatically. But its never used. Instead
make this a simple standard setter so the caller can more directly
set the delta depth of this object. This permits us to configure a
depth that takes into account more than just the depth of another
object in this same pack.

C Git's fast-import uses this to determine the maximum file size
that it tries to delta compress, anything equal to or above this
setting is stored with as a whole object with simple deflate.
Define the configuration so we can use it later.

This flag will later control whether or not PackWriter search for a
delta base for this object. Edge objects will never get searched,
as the writer won't be outputting them, so they should always have
this flag set on. Sometime in the future this flag should also be
set for file blobs on file paths that have the "-delta" gitattribute
set in the repository's attributes file.

PackWriter wants to categorize objects that are similar in path name,
so blobs that are probably from the same file (or same sort of file)
can be delta compressed against each other. Avoid converting into
a string by performing the hashing directly against the path buffer
in the tree iterator.
We only hash the last 16 bytes of the path, and we try avoid any
spaces, as we want the suffix of a file such as ".java" to be more
important than the directory it is in, like "src".

This is an informational function used by PackWriter to help it
better organize objects for delta compression. Storage systems
can implement it to provide up more detailed size information,
or they can simply rely on the default behavior that uses the
ObjectLoader obtained from open.
For local file storage, we can obtain this information faster
through specialized routines that parse a pack object header.

Allow TemporaryBuffer.Heap to allocate smaller than 8 KiB
If the heap limit was set to something smaller than 8 KiB, we were
still allocating the full 8 KiB block size, and accepting up to
the amount we allocated by. Instead actually put a hard cap on
the limit.

Create FileHeader from DiffEntry
Added support for converting DiffEntrys to FileHeaders. FileHeaders
are DiffEntrys with a buffer containing the diff output as well as
a list of HunkHeaders. The HunkHeaders contain EditLists. The
createFileHeader(DiffEntry) method in DiffFormatter performs a Myers
Diff on the files refered to by the DiffEntry, then puts the returned
EditList into a single HunkHeader, which is then put into the
FileHeader to be returned. It also generates the appropriate diff
header an puts it into the FileHeader's buffer. The rest of the diff
output, which would normally be parsed to generate the HunkHeaders,
is not generated. In fact, the purpose of this method is to avoid
the costly diff output generation and parsing normally required to
create a FileHeader.
ReadTreeTest was hardcoded to test WorkDirCheckout. Since we want
alternative checkout implementations (especially DirCacheCheckout)
this class has been refactored so that the tests can be reused
to test other implementations
The following changes have been done:
- abstract methods for checkout and prescanTwoTrees have been
introduced. Parameters are only the two trees. As index we
will implicitly use the current index of the repo.
- whenever tests needed a manipulated index before checkout
and prescanTwoTrees it was ensured that the correct index was
persisted (before we could use not-persisted instantiations of GitIndex
passed as parameters to checkout, prescanTwoTrees
- abstract methods for getting updated, conflicting, removed entries
resulting from the last checkout, prescanTwoTrees have been introduced
- an implementation for all these abstract methods using WorkDirCheckout
has been added
- method to assert a certain state of the index and the working tree has
been added

a single insert command. Rather than use the magical value 127,
lets name it to better document the code.
