searchForReuse might impact performance in large repositories
The search for reuse phase for *all* the objects scans *all*
the packfiles, looking for the best candidate to serve back to the
client.
This can lead to an expensive operation when the number of
packfiles and objects is high.
Add parameter "pack.searchForReuseTimeout" to limit the time spent
on this search.

Wait opening new packfile until it can't be racy anymore
If
- pack.waitPreventRacyPack = true (default is false)
- packfile size > pack.minSizePreventRacyPack (default is 100 MB)
wait after a new packfile was written and before it is opened until it
cannot be racy anymore.
If a new packfile is accessed while it's still racy at least the pack's
index will be reread by ObjectDirectory.scanPacksImpl(). Hence it may
save resources to wait one tick of the file system timer to avoid this
reloading. On filesystems with a coarse timestamp resolution it may be
beneficial to skip this wait for small packfiles.

gc: Add options to preserve and prune old pack files
The new --preserve-oldpacks option moves old pack files into the
preserved subdirectory instead of deleting them after repacking.
The new --prune-preserved option prunes old pack files from the
preserved subdirectory after repacking, but before potentially
moving the latest old packfiles to this subdirectory.
These options are designed to prevent stale file handle exceptions
during git operations which can happen on users of NFS repos when
repacking is done on them. The strategy is to preserve old pack files
around until the next repack with the hopes that they will become
unreferenced by then and not cause any exceptions to running processes
when they are finally deleted (pruned).

Expose the following bitmap selection parameters via PackConfig:
"bitmapContiguousCommitCount", "bitmapRecentCommitCount",
"bitmapRecentCommitSpan", "bitmapDistantCommitSpan",
"bitmapExcessiveBranchCount", and "bitmapInactiveBranchAge".
The value of bitmapContiguousCommitCount, whereby bitmaps are
created for the most recent N commits in a branch, has never
been verified. If experiments show that they are not valuable,
then we can simplify the implementation so that there is only
a concept of recent and distant commit history (defined by
"bitmapRecentCommitCount"), and the only controls we need are
"bitmapRecentCommitSpan" and "bitmapDistantCommitSpan".

Update bitmap selection throttling to fully span active branches.
Replace the “bitmapCommitRange” parameter that was recently introduced
with two new parameters: “bitmapExcessiveBranchCount” and
“bitmapInactiveBranchAgeInDays”. If the count of branches does not
exceed “bitmapExcessiveBranchCount”, then the current algorithm is kept
for all branches.
If the branch count is excessive, then the commit time for the tip
commit for each branch is used to determine if a branch is “inactive”.
"Active" branches get full commit selection using the existing
algorithm. "Inactive" branches get fewer bitmaps near the branch tips.
Introduce a "contiguousCommitCount" parameter that always enforces that
the N most recent commits in a branch are selected for bitmaps. The
previous nextSelectionDistance() algorithm created anywhere from 1-100
contiguous bitmaps at branch tips.
For example, consider a branch with commits numbering 0-300, with 0
being the most recent commit. If the most recent 200 commits are not
merge commits and the 200th commit was the last one selected,
nextSelectionDistance() returned 100, causing commits 200-101 to be
ignored. Then a window of size 100 was evaluated, searching for merge
commits. Since no merge commits are found, the next commit (commit 0)
was selected, for a total of 1 commit in the topmost 100 commits.
If instead the 250th commit was selected, then by the same logic
commit 50 is selected. At that point nextSelectionDistance() switches to
selecting consecutive commits, so commits 0-50 in the topmost 100
commits are selected. The "contiguousCommitCount" parameter provides
more determinism by always selecting a constant number or topmost
commits.
Add an optimization to break out of the inner loop of selectCommits() if
all of the commits for the current branch have already been found.
When reusing bitmaps from an existing pack, remove unnecessary
populating and clearing of the writeBitmaps/PackBitmapIndexBuilder.
Add comments to PackWriterBitmapPreparer, rename methods and variables
for readability.
Add tests for bitmap selection with and without merge commits and with
excessive branch pruning triggered.
Note: I will follow up with an additional change that exposes the new
parameters through PackConfig.

Limit the range of commits for which bitmaps are created.
A bitmap index contains bitmaps for a set of commits in a pack file.
Creating a bitmap for every commit is too expensive, so heuristics
select the most "important" commits. The most recent commits are the
most valuable. To clone a repository only those for the branch tips are
needed. When fetching, only commits since the last fetch are needed.
The commit selection heuristics generally work, but for some
repositories the number of selected commits is prohibitively high. One
example is the MSM 3.10 Linux kernel. With over 1 million commits on
2820 branches, the current heuristics resulted in +36k selected commits.
Each uncompressed bitmap for that repository is ~413k, making it
difficult to complete a GC operation in available memory.
The benefit of creating bitmaps over the entire history of a repository
like the MSM 3.10 Linux kernel isn't clear. For that repository, most
history for the last year appears to be in the last 100k commits.
Limiting bitmap commit selection to just those commits reduces the count
of selected commits from ~36k to ~10.5k. Dropping bitmaps for older
commits does not affect object counting times for clones or for fetches
on clients that are reasonably up-to-date.
This patch defines a new "bitmapCommitRange" PackConfig parameter to
limit the commit selection process when building bitmaps. The range
starts with the most recent commit and walks backwards. A range of 10k
considers only the 10000 most recent commits. A range of zero creates
bitmaps only for branch tips. A range of -1 (the default) does not limit
the range--all commits in the pack are used in the commit selection
process.

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.

Support creating pack bitmap indexes in PackWriter.
Update the PackWriter to support writing out pack bitmap indexes,
a parallel ".bitmap" file to the ".pack" file.
Bitmaps are selected at commits every 1 to 5,000 commits for
each unique path from the start. The most recent 100 commits are
all bitmapped. The next 19,000 commits have a bitmaps every 100
commits. The remaining commits have a bitmap every 5,000 commits.
Commits with more than 1 parent are prefered over ones
with 1 or less. Furthermore, previously computed bitmaps are reused,
if the previous entry had the reuse flag set, which is set when the
bitmap was placed at the max allowed distance.
Bitmaps are used to speed up the counting phase when packing, for
requests that are not shallow. The PackWriterBitmapWalker uses
a RevFilter to proactively mark commits with RevFlag.SEEN, when
they appear in a bitmap. The walker produces the full closure
of reachable ObjectIds, given the collection of starting ObjectIds.
For fetch request, two ObjectWalks are executed to compute the
ObjectIds reachable from the haves and from the wants. The
ObjectIds needed to be written are determined by taking all the
resulting wants AND NOT the haves.
For clone requests, we get cached pack support for "free" since
it is possible to determine if all of the ObjectIds in a pack file
are included in the resulting list of ObjectIds to write.
On my machine, the best times for clones and fetches of the linux
kernel repository (with about 2.6M objects and 300K commits) are
tabulated below:
Operation Index V2 Index VE003
Clone 37530ms (524.06 MiB) 82ms (524.06 MiB)
Fetch (1 commit back) 75ms 107ms
Fetch (10 commits back) 456ms (269.51 KiB) 341ms (265.19 KiB)
Fetch (100 commits back) 449ms (269.91 KiB) 337ms (267.28 KiB)

This refactoring permits applications to configure global per-process
settings for all packing and easily pass it through to per-request
PackWriters, ensuring that the process configuration overrides the
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
request, even though the repository's own pack.* settings might be
configured to be more aggressive. This allows fast but less bandwidth
efficient serving of clients, while still retaining good compression
through a cron managed `git gc`.

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.
