Rescale "Compressing objects" progress meter by size
Instead of counting objects processed, count number of bytes added
into the window. This should rescale the progress meter so that 30%
complete means 30% of the total uncompressed content size has been
inflated and fed into the window.
In theory the progress meter should be more accurate about its
percentage complete/remaining fraction than with objects. When
counting objects small objects move the progress meter more rapidly
than large objects, but demand a smaller amount of work than large
objects being compressed.

Instead of assuming all objects cost the same amount of time to
delta compress, aggregate the byte size of objects in the list
and partition threads with roughly equal total bytes.
Before splitting the list select the N largest paths and assign
each one to its own thread. This allows threads to get through the
worst cases in parallel before attempting smaller paths that are
more likely to be splittable.
By running the largest path buckets first on each thread the likely
slowest part of compression is done early, while progress is still
reporting a low percentage. This gives users a better impression of
how fast the phase will run. On very complex inputs the slow part
is more likely to happen first, making a user realize its time to
go grab lunch, or even run it overnight.
If the worst sections are earlier, memory overruns may show up
earlier, giving the user a chance to correct the configuration and
try again before wasting large amounts of time. It also makes it
less likely the delta compression phase reaches 92% in 30 minutes
and then crawls for 10 hours through the remaining 8%.

By excluding objects the compactor can avoid storing objects that
are already well packed in the base GC packs, or any other pack
not being replaced by the current compaction operation.
For deltas the base object is still included even if the base exists
in another exclusion set. This favors keeping deltas for recent
history, to support faster fetch operations for clients.

Make recursive merge strategy the default merge strategy
Use recursive merge as the default strategy since it can successfully
merge more cases than the resolve strategy can. This is also the default
in native Git.

Update PackBitmapIndexRemapper to handle mappings not in the new pack.
Previously, the code assumed all commits in the old pack would also
be present in the new pack. This assumption caused an
ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException during remapping of ids. Fix the
iterator to only return entries that may be remapped. Furthermore,
update getBitmap() to return null if commit does not exist in the
new pack.

Always attempt delta compression when reuseDeltas is false
If reuseObjects=true but reuseDeltas=false the caller wants attempt
a delta for every object in the input list. Test for reuseDeltas
to ensure every object passes through the searchInWindow() method.
If no delta is possible for an object and it will be stored whole
(non-delta format), PackWriter may still reuse its content from any
source pack. This avoids an inflate()-deflate() cycle to recompress
the object contents.

TemporaryBuffer is great when the output size is not known, but must
be bound by a relatively large upper limit that fits in memory, e.g.
64 KiB or 20 MiB. The buffer gracefully supports growing storage by
allocating 8 KiB blocks and storing them in an ArrayList.
In a Git repository many deltas are less than 8 KiB. Typical tree
objects are well below this threshold, and their deltas must be
encoded even smaller.
For these much smaller cases avoid the 8 KiB minimum allocation used
by TemporaryBuffer. Instead allocate a very small OutputStream
writing to an array that is sized at the limit.

Correct distribution of allowed delta size along chain length
Nicolas Pitre discovered a very simple rule for selecting between two
different delta base candidates:
- if based whole object, must be <= 50% of target
- if at end of a chain, must be <= 1/depth * 50% of target
The rule penalizes deltas near the end of the chain, requiring them to
be very small in order to be kept by the packer. This favors deltas
that are based on a shorter chain, where the read-time unpack cost is
much lower. Fewer bytes need to be consulted from the source pack
file, and less copying is required in memory to rebuild the object.
Junio Hamano explained Nico's rule to me today, and this commit fixes
DeltaWindow to implement it as described.
When no base has been chosen the computation is simply the statements
denoted above. However once a base with depth of 9 has been chosen
(e.g. when pack.depth is limited to 10), a non-delta source may
create a new delta that is up to 10x larger than the already selected
base. This reflects the intent of Nico's size distribution rule no
matter what order objects are visited in the DeltaWindow.

The improved JGit result for the head pack is only 6.4 KiB larger than
CGit's resulting pack. This patch allowed JGit to find an additional
39.7 KiB worth of space savings. JGit now also often runs 2s faster
than CGit, despite also creating bitmaps and pruning objects after the
head pack creation.

When an idle thread tries to steal work from a sibling's remaining
toSearch queue, always try to split along a path boundary. This
avoids missing delta opportunities in the current window of the
thread whose work is being taken.
The search order is reversed to walk further down the chain from
current position, avoiding the risk of splitting the list within
the path the thread is currently processing.
When selecting which thread to split from use an accurate estimate
of the size to be taken. This avoids selecting a thread that has
only one path remaining but may contain more pending entries than
another thread with several paths remaining.
As there is now a race condition where the straggling thread can
start the next path before the split can finish, the stealWork()
loop spins until it is able to acquire a split or there is only
one path remaining in the siblings.

PackWriter generally chooses the order for objects when it builds the
object lists. This ordering already depends on history information to
guide placing more recent objects first and historical objects last.
Allow PackWriter to make the basic ordering decisions, instead of
trying to override them. The old approach of sorting the list caused
DfsReader to override any ordering change PackWriter might have tried
to make when repacking a repository.
This now better matches with WindowCursor's implementation, where
PackWriter solely determines the object ordering.

Replace DeltaWindow array with circularly linked list
Typical window sizes are 10 and 250 (although others are accepted).
In either case the pointer overhead of 1 pointer in an array or
2 pointers for a double linked list is trivial. A doubly linked
list as used here for window=250 is only another 1024 bytes on a
32 bit machine, or 2048 bytes on a 64 bit machine.
The critical search loops scan through the array in either the
previous direction or the next direction until the cycle is finished,
or some other scan abort condition is reached. Loading the next
object's pointer from a field in the current object avoids the
branch required to test for wrapping around the edge of the array.
It also saves the array bounds check on each access.
When a delta is chosen the window is shuffled to hoist the currently
selected base as an earlier candidate for the next object. Moving
the window entry is easier in a double-linked list than sliding a
group of array entries.

Most objects are written as OFS_DELTA with the base in the pack,
that is why this case comes first in writeHeader(). Rewrite the
condition to always examine this first and cache the PackWriter's
formatting flag for use of OFS_DELTA headers, in modern Git networks
this is true more often then it it is false.
Assume the cost of write() is high, especially due to entering the
MessageDigest to update the pack footer SHA-1 computation. Combine
the OFS_DELTA information as part of the header buffer so that the
entire burst is a single write call, rather than two relatively
small ones. Most OFS_DELTA headers are <= 6 bytes, so this rewrite
tranforms 2 writes of 3 bytes each into 1 write of ~6 bytes.
Try to simplify the objectHeader code to reduce branches and use
more local registers. This shouldn't really be necessary if the
compiler is well optimized, but it isn't very hard to clarify data
usage to either javac or the JIT, which may make it easier for the
JIT to produce better machine code for this method.

The getCopyBuffer() is almost always used during output. All known
implementations of ObjectReuseAsIs rely on the buffer to be present,
and the only sane way to get good performance from PackWriter is to
reuse objects during packing.

it is always populated.

Disable CRC32 computation when no PackIndex will be created
If a server is streaming 3GiB worth of pack data to a client there
is no reason to compute the CRC32 checksum on the objects. The
CRC32 code computed by PackWriter is used only in the new index
created by writeIndex(), which is never invoked for the native Git
network protocols.
Object reuse may still compute its own CRC32 to verify the data
being copied from an existing pack has not been corrupted. This
check is done by the ObjectReader that implements ObjectReuseAsIs
and has no relationship to the CRC32 being skipped during output.

Steal work from delta threads to rebalance CPU load
If the configuration wants to run 4 threads the delta search work
is initially split somewhat evenly across the 4 threads. During
execution some threads will finish early due to the work not being
split fairly, as the initial partitions were based on object count
and not cost to inflate or size of DeltaIndex.
When a thread finishes early it now tries to take 50% of the work
remaining on a sibling thread, and executes that before exiting.
This repeats as each thread completes until a thread has only 1
object remaining.

Support cutting existing delta chains longer than the max depth
Some packs built by JGit have incredibly long delta chains due to a
long standing bug in PackWriter. Google has packs created by JGit's
DfsGarbageCollector with chains of 6000 objects long, or more.
Inflating objects at the end of this 6000 long chain is impossible
to complete within a reasonable time bound. It could take a beefy
system hours to perform even using the heavily optimized native C
implementation of Git, let alone with JGit.
Enable pack.cutDeltaChains to be set in a configuration file to
permit the PackWriter to determine the length of each delta chain
and clip the chain at arbitrary points to fit within pack.depth.
Delta chain cycles are still possible, but no attempt is made to
detect them. A trivial chain of A->B->A will iterate for the full
pack.depth configured limit (e.g. 50) and then pick an object to
store as non-delta.
When cutting chains the object list is walked in reverse to try
and take advantage of existing chain computations. The assumption
here is most deltas are near the end of the list, and their bases
are near the front of the list. Going up from the tail attempts to
reuse chainLength computations by relying on the memoized value in
the delta base.
The chainLength field in ObjectToPack is overloaded into the depth
field normally used by DeltaWindow. This is acceptable because the
chain cut happens before delta search, and the chainLength is reset
to 0 if delta search will follow.

Object type 5 is currently undefined. In the old code it would hit
the default and return true. In the new code it will match the early

Object type 7 REF_DELTA is not permitted to be supplied here.
