[v4,1/8] packfile: introduce 'find_kept_pack_entry()'

Commit Message

Taylor Blau Feb. 23, 2021, 2:25 a.m. UTC

Future callers will want a function to fill a 'struct pack_entry' for a
given object id but _only_ from its position in any kept pack(s).

In particular, an new 'git repack' mode which ensures the resulting
packs form a geometric progress by object count will mark packs that it
does not want to repack as "kept in-core", and it will want to halt a
reachability traversal as soon as it visits an object in any of the kept
packs. But, it does not want to halt the traversal at non-kept, or
.keep packs.

The obvious alternative is 'find_pack_entry()', but this doesn't quite
suffice since it only returns the first pack it finds, which may or may
not be kept (and the mru cache makes it unpredictable which one you'll
get if there are options).

Short of that, you could walk over all packs looking for the object in
each one, but it scales with the number of packs, which may be
prohibitive.

Introduce 'find_kept_pack_entry()', a function which is like
'find_pack_entry()', but only fills in objects in the kept packs.

Handle packs which have .keep files, as well as in-core kept packs
separately, since certain callers will want to distinguish one from the
other. (Though on-disk and in-core kept packs share the adjective
"kept", it is best to think of the two sets as independent.)

There is a gotcha when looking up objects that are duplicated in kept
and non-kept packs, particularly when the MIDX stores the non-kept
version and the caller asked for kept objects only. This could be
resolved by teaching the MIDX to resolve duplicates by always favoring
the kept pack (if one exists), but this breaks an assumption in existing
MIDXs, and so it would require a format change.

The benefit to changing the MIDX in this way is marginal, so we instead
have a more thorough check here which is explained with a comment.

Callers will be added in subsequent patches.
