PackWriter: Sort commits by parse order to improve locality
RevWalk in JGit and the revision code in C Git both parse commits out
of the pack file in an order that differs from strict timestamp and
topological sorting. Both implementations pop a commit from the head
of a date queue, and then immediately parse all of its parents in
order to insert those into the date queue at the proper positions as
determined by their committer timestamp field. This implies that the
parents are parsed when their most recent child is popped from the
queue, and not where they are popped during traversal.
Hoisting a parent commit to be immediately behind its child improves
locality by making sure all parents of a merge are clustered together,
and thus can be paged into the parser by the pack file buffering
system (aka WindowCache in JGit) together.

Fix NullPointer when pulling from a deleted local branch
A checked Exception is thrown instead.
The reason for throwing an Exception is that the state of the
repository is inconsistent in this case: There is a merge
configuration containing a non-existing local branch. Ideally the
deletion of a local branch should also delete the corresponding
merge configuration.

As PackParser supports a progress meter for the "Resolving deltas"
phase of its work, we should export this to smart HTTP clients so
they know the server is still working on their (large) upload.
However this isn't as simple as just dropping in a binding for
the SmartOutputStream to flush when its told to. We want to
avoid spurious flushes triggered by the use of sideband, or the
status report formatting in the send-pack/receive-pack protocol.

Using a resolver and factory pattern for the anonymous git:// Daemon
class makes transport.Daemon more useful on non-file storage systems,
or in embedded applications where the caller wants more precise
control over the work tasks constructed within the daemon.
Rather than defining new interfaces, move the existing HTTP ones
into transport.resolver and make them generic on the connection
handle type. For HTTP, continue to use HttpServletRequest, and
for transport.Daemon use DaemonClient.
To remain compatible with transport.Daemon, FileResolver needs to
learn how to use multiple base directories, and how to export any
Repository instance at a fixed name.

Applications like UploadPack reset() and reuse the same RevWalk
multiple times in very rapid succession. Releasing the ObjectReader's
internal state on each use, only to allocate it again on the next

even if the Inflater gets returned and pulled from the InflaterCache
too frequently.
Making releasing the ObjectReader the application's responsibility
when it is done with the RevWalk, which most already do by wrapping
their loop in a try/finally block.

When UploadPack has computed the merge base between the client's have
set and the want set, its already loaded and parsed all of the
interesting commits that PackWriter needs to transmit to the client.
Switching the RevWalk and its object pool over to be an ObjectWalk
saves PackWriter from needing to re-parse these same commits from the
ObjectDatabase, reducing the startup latency for the enumeration
phase of packing.
UploadPack doesn't want to use an ObjectWalk for the okToGiveUp()
tests because its slower, during each commit popped it needs to cache
the tree into the pendingObjects list, and during each reset() it
discards a bunch of ObjectWalk specific state and reallocates some
internal collections. ObjectWalk was never meant to be rapidly
reset() like UploadPack does, so its perhaps somewhat cleaner to allow
"upgrading" a RevWalk to an ObjectWalk.

When the walker resets, its going to scrub the COMMON and SATISIFIED
flags off a commit if the commit is contained within another commit
the client wants. This is common if the client asks for both a
'maint' and 'master' branch, and 'maint' is also fully merged into
'master'.
COMMON shouldn't be scrubbed during reset because its used to control
membership of the commonBase collection, which is a List. commonBase
should technically be a set, but membership is cheaper with a RevFlag.
COMMON appears on a commit reachable from a WANT when there is also a
PEER_HAS flag present, as this is a merge base. Scrubbing this off
when another branch is tested isn't useful.
SATISIFIED is a cache to tell us if wantSatisified() has already
completed for this particular WANT. If it has, there isn't a need to
recompute on that branch. Scrubbing it off 'maint' when we test
'master' just means we would later need to re-test 'maint', wasting
CPU time on the server.

If a client wants to perform a clone of the repository, it sends
wants, but no haves. There is no point in parsing the want list
within UploadPack, as there won't be a common merge base search.
Instead just defer the parsing to PackWriter, which will do its
own parsing and object enumeration.
If the client does have a "have" set, defer parsing of the want list
until the have list is also parsed, and parse them together in a
single batch queue. This lets the underlying storage system use a
larger lookup batch if there is significant latency involved when
resolving an ObjectId to a RevObject.

The most expensive part of packing a repository for transport to
another system is enumerating all of the objects in the repository.
Once this gets to the size of the linux-2.6 repository (1.8 million
objects), enumeration can take several CPU minutes and costs a lot
of temporary working set memory.
Teach PackWriter to efficiently reuse an existing "cached pack"
by answering a clone request with a thin pack followed by a larger
cached pack appended to the end. This requires the repository
owner to first construct the cached pack by hand, and record the
tip commits inside of $GIT_DIR/objects/info/cached-packs:
cd $GIT_DIR
root=$(git rev-parse master)
tmp=objects/.tmp-$$
names=$(echo $root | git pack-objects --keep-true-parents --revs $tmp)
for n in $names; do
chmod a-w $tmp-$n.pack $tmp-$n.idx
touch objects/pack/pack-$n.keep
mv $tmp-$n.pack objects/pack/pack-$n.pack
mv $tmp-$n.idx objects/pack/pack-$n.idx
done
(echo "+ $root";
for n in $names; do echo "P $n"; done;
echo) >>objects/info/cached-packs
git repack -a -d
When a clone request needs to include $root, the corresponding
cached pack will be copied as-is, rather than enumerating all of
the objects that are reachable from $root.
For a linux-2.6 kernel repository that should be about 376 MiB,
the above process creates two packs of 368 MiB and 38 MiB[1].
This is a local disk usage increase of ~26 MiB, due to reduced
delta compression between the large cached pack and the smaller
recent activity pack. The overhead is similar to 1 full copy of
the compressed project sources.
With this cached pack in hand, JGit daemon completes a clone request
in 1m17s less time, but a slightly larger data transfer (+2.39 MiB):

Repository owners can periodically refresh their cached packs by
repacking their repository, folding all newer objects into a larger
cached pack. Since repacking is already considered to be a normal
Git maintenance activity, this isn't a very big burden.

It isn't strictly necessary to validate every reference's target
object is reachable in the repository before advertising it to a
client. This is an expensive operation when there are thousands of
references, and its very unlikely that a reference uses a missing
object, because garbage collection proceeds from the references and
walks down through the graph. So trying to hide a dangling reference
from clients is relatively pointless.
Even if we are trying to avoid giving a client a corrupt repository,
this simple check isn't sufficient. It is possible for a reference to
point to a valid commit, but that commit to have a missing blob in its
root tree. This can be caused by staging a file into the index,
waiting several weeks, then committing that file while also racing
against a prune. The prune may delete the blob, since its
modification time is more than 2 weeks ago, but retain the commit,
since its modification time is right now.
Such graph corruption is already caught during PackWriter as it
enumerates the graph from the client's want list and digs back
to the roots or common base. Leave the reference validation also
for that same phase, where we know we have to parse the object to
support the enumeration.

There is no point in pushing all of the files within the edge
commits into the delta search when making a thin pack. This floods
the delta search window with objects that are unlikely to be useful
bases for the objects that will be written out, resulting in lower
data compression and higher transfer sizes.
Instead observe the path of a tree or blob that is being pushed
into the outgoing set, and use that path to locate up to WINDOW
ancestor versions from the edge commits. Push only those objects
into the edgeObjects set, reducing the number of objects seen by the
search window. This allows PackWriter to only look at ancestors
for the modified files, rather than all files in the project.
Limiting the search to WINDOW size makes sense, because more than
WINDOW edge objects will just skip through the window search as
none of them need to be delta compressed.
To further improve compression, sort edge objects into the front
of the window list, rather than randomly throughout. This puts
non-edges later in the window and gives them a better chance at
finding their base, since they search backwards through the window.
These changes make a significant difference in the thin-pack:

CGit push clients 1.6.6 and later support progress messages on the
side-band-64k channel during push, as this was introduced to handle
server side hook errors reported over smart HTTP.
Since JGit's delta resolution isn't always as fast as CGit's is,
a user may think the server has crashed and failed to report
status if the user pushed a lot of content and sees no feedback.
Exposing the progress monitor during the resolving deltas phase
will let the user know the server is still making forward progress.
This also helps BasePackPushConnection, which has a bounded timeout
on how long it will wait before assuming the remote server is dead.
Progress messages pushed down the side-band channel will reset the
read timer, helping the connection to stay alive and avoid timing
out before the remote side's work is complete.

Revert "Teach PackWriter how to reuse an existing object list"
This reverts commit f5fe2dca3c.
I regret adding this feature to the public API. Caches aren't always
the best idea, as they require work to maintain. Here the cache is
redundant information that must be computed, and when it grows stale
must be removed. The redundant information takes up more disk space,
about the same size as the pack-*.idx files are. For the linux-2.6
repository, that's more than 40 MB for a 400 MB repository. So the
cache is a 10% increase in disk usage.
The entire point of this cache is to improve PackWriter performance,
and only PackWriter performance, and only when sending an initial
clone to a new client. There may be better ways to optimize this, and
