jgit.storage.dht is a storage provider implementation for JGit that
permits storing the Git repository in a distributed hashtable, NoSQL
system, or other database.  The actual underlying storage system is
undefined, and can be plugged in by implementing 7 small interfaces:

  *  Database
  *  RepositoryIndexTable
  *  RepositoryTable
  *  RefTable
  *  ChunkTable
  *  ObjectIndexTable
  *  WriteBuffer

The storage provider interface tries to assume very little about the
underlying storage system, and requires only three key features:

  *  key -> value lookup (a hashtable is suitable)
  *  atomic updates on single rows
  *  asynchronous operations (Java's ExecutorService is easy to use)

Most NoSQL database products offer all 3 of these features in their
clients, and so does any decent network based cache system like the
open source memcache product.  Relying only on key equality for data
retrevial makes it simple for the storage engine to distribute across
multiple machines.  Traditional SQL systems could also be used with a
JDBC based spi implementation.

Before submitting this change I have implemented six storage systems
for the spi layer:

  * Apache HBase[1]
  * Apache Cassandra[2]
  * Google Bigtable[3]
  * an in-memory implementation for unit testing
  * a JDBC implementation for SQL
  * a generic cache provider that can ride on top of memcache

All six systems came in with an spi layer around 1000 lines of code to
implement the above 7 interfaces.  This is a huge reduction in size
compared to prior attempts to implement a new JGit storage layer.  As
this package shows, a complete JGit storage implementation is more
than 17,000 lines of fairly complex code.

A simple cache is provided in storage.dht.spi.cache.  Implementers can
use CacheDatabase to wrap any other type of Database and perform fast
reads against a network based cache service, such as the open source
memcached[4].  An implementation of CacheService must be provided to
glue this spi onto the network cache.

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.

Similar to what we did with the file code, move the pack writer
into its own package so the related classes and their package
private methods are hidden from the rest of the library.

Rather than making a loader, and then using that to fill the object
representation, parse the header and set up our data directly.
This saves some time, as we don't waste cycles on information we
won't use right now.

The weight computed for a representation is now its actual stored
size in the pack file, rather than its inflated size.  This accounts
for changes made when the compression level is modified on the
repository.  It is however more costly to determine the weight of
the object, since we have to find its length in the pack.  To try and
recover that cost we now cache the length as part of our ObjectToPack
record, so it doesn't have to be found during the output phase.

A LocalObjectToPack now costs us (assuming 32 bit pointers):

                   (32 bit)     (64 bit)
  vm header:         8 bytes      8 bytes
  ObjectId:         20 bytes     20 bytes
  PackedObjectInfo: 12 bytes     12 bytes
  ObjectToPack:      8 bytes     12 bytes
  LocalOTP:         20 bytes     24 bytes
                 -----------    ---------
                    68 bytes     74 bytes

This move isolates all of the local file specific implementation code
into a single package, where their package-private methods and support
classes are properly hidden away from the rest of the core library.

Because of the sheer number of files impacted, I have limited this
change to only the renames and the updated imports.

Output of selected reuses is refactored to use a new ObjectReuseAsIs
interface that extends the ObjectReader.  This interface allows the
reader to control how it performs the reuse into the output stream,
but also allows it to throw an exception to request the writer to
find a different candidate representation.

The PackFile reuse code was overhauled, cleaning up the APIs so they
aren't exposed in the object loader, but instead are now a single
method on the PackFile itself.  The reuse algorithm was changed to do
a data verification pass, followed by the copy pass to the output.
This permits us to work around a corrupt object in a pack file by
seeking another copy of that object when this one is bad.

The reuse code was also optimized for the common case, where the
in-pack representation is under 16 KiB.  In these smaller cases
data is sent to the pack writer more directly, avoiding some copying.

The new selection implementation uses a public API on the
ObjectReader, allowing the storage library to enumerate its
candidates and select the best one for this packer without
needing to build a temporary list of the candidates first.

The ObjectReader class is dual-purposed into being a factory for the
ObjectToPack, permitting specific ObjectDatabase implementations
to override the method and offer their own custom subclass of the
generic ObjectToPack class.  By allowing them to directly extend the
type, each implementation can add custom fields to support tracking
where an object is stored, without incurring any additional penalties
like a parallel Map<ObjectId,Object> would cost.

The reader was chosen to act as a factory rather than the database,
as the reader will eventually be tied more tightly with the
ObjectWalk and TreeWalk.  During object enumeration the reader
would have had to load the object for the RevWalk, and may chose
to cache object position data internally so it can later be reused
and fed into the ObjectToPack instance supplied to the PackWriter.
Since a reader is not thread-safe, and is scoped to this PackWriter
and its internal ObjectWalk, its a great place for the database to
perform caching, if any.

Right now this change goes a bit backwards by changing what should
be generic ObjectToPack references inside of PackWriter to the very
PackFile specific LocalObjectToPack subclass.  We will correct these
in a later commit as we start to refine what the ObjectToPack API
will eventually look like in order to better support the PackWriter.

This is a simple HTTP server that provides the minimum server side
support required for dumb (non-git aware) transport clients.

We produce the info/refs and objects/info/packs file on the fly
from the local repository state, but otherwise serve data as raw
files from the on-disk structure.

In the future we could better optimize the FileSender class and the
servlets that use it to take advantage of direct file to network
APIs in more advanced servlet containers like Jetty.

Our glue package borrows the idea of a micro embedded DSL from
Google Guice and uses it to configure a collection of Filters
and HttpServlets, all of which are matched against requests using
regular expressions.  If a subgroup exists in the pattern, it is
extracted and used for the path info component of the request.

Per CQ 3448 this is the initial contribution of the JGit project
to eclipse.org.  It is derived from the historical JGit repository
