midx: implement `BTMP` chunk When a multi-pack bitmap is used to implement verbatim pack reuse (that is, when verbatim chunks from an on-disk packfile are copied directly[^1]), it does so by using its "preferred pack" as the source for pack-reuse. This allows repositories to pack the majority of their objects into a single (often large) pack, and then use it as the single source for verbatim pack reuse. This increases the amount of objects that are reused verbatim (and consequently, decrease the amount of time it takes to generate many packs). But this performance comes at a cost, which is that the preferred packfile must pace its growth with that of the entire repository in order to maintain the utility of verbatim pack reuse. As repositories grow beyond what we can reasonably store in a single packfile, the utility of verbatim pack reuse diminishes. Or, at the very least, it becomes increasingly more expensive to maintain as the pack grows larger and larger. It would be beneficial to be able to perform this same optimization over multiple packs, provided some modest constraints (most importantly, that the set of packs eligible for verbatim reuse are disjoint with respect to the subset of their objects being sent). If we assume that the packs which we treat as candidates for verbatim reuse are disjoint with respect to any of their objects we may output, we need to make only modest modifications to the verbatim pack-reuse code itself. Most notably, we need to remove the assumption that the bits in the reachability bitmap corresponding to objects from the single reuse pack begin at the first bit position. Future patches will unwind these assumptions and reimplement their existing functionality as special cases of the more general assumptions (e.g. that reuse bits can start anywhere within the bitset, but happen to start at 0 for all existing cases). This patch does not yet relax any of those assumptions. Instead, it implements a foundational data-structure, the "Bitampped Packs" (`BTMP`) chunk of the multi-pack index. The `BTMP` chunk's contents are described in detail here. Importantly, the `BTMP` chunk contains information to map regions of a multi-pack index's reachability bitmap to the packs whose objects they represent. For now, this chunk is only written, not read (outside of the test-tool used in this patch to test the new chunk's behavior). Future patches will begin to make use of this new chunk.

pack-revindex: read multi-pack reverse indexes Implement reading for multi-pack reverse indexes, as described in the previous patch. Note that these functions don't yet have any callers, and won't until multi-pack reachability bitmaps are introduced in a later patch series. In the meantime, this patch implements some of the infrastructure necessary to support multi-pack bitmaps. There are three new functions exposed by the revindex API: - load_midx_revindex(): loads the reverse index corresponding to the given multi-pack index. - midx_to_pack_pos() and pack_pos_to_midx(): these convert between the multi-pack index and pseudo-pack order. load_midx_revindex() and pack_pos_to_midx() are both relatively straightforward. load_midx_revindex() needs a few functions to be exposed from the midx API. One to get the checksum of a midx, and another to get the .rev's filename. Similar to recent changes in the packed_git struct, three new fields are added to the multi_pack_index struct: one to keep track of the size, one to keep track of the mmap'd pointer, and another to point past the header and at the reverse index's data. pack_pos_to_midx() simply reads the corresponding entry out of the table. midx_to_pack_pos() is the trickiest, since it needs to find an object's position in the psuedo-pack order, but that order can only be recovered in the .rev file itself. This mapping can be implemented with a binary search, but note that the thing we're binary searching over isn't an array of values, but rather a permuted order of those values. So, when comparing two items, it's helpful to keep in mind the difference. Instead of a traditional binary search, where you are comparing two things directly, here we're comparing a (pack, offset) tuple with an index into the multi-pack index. That index describes another (pack, offset) tuple, and it is _those_ two tuples that are compared. Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

midx: implement `midx_preferred_pack()` When performing a binary search over the objects in a MIDX's bitmap (i.e. in pseudo-pack order), the reader reconstructs the pseudo-pack ordering using a combination of (a) the preferred pack, (b) the pack's lexical position in the MIDX based on pack names, and (c) the object offset within the pack. In order to perform this binary search, the reader must know the identity of the preferred pack. This could be stored in the MIDX, but isn't for historical reasons, mostly because it can easily be inferred at read-time by looking at the object in the first bit position and finding out which pack it was selected from in the MIDX, like so: nth_midxed_pack_int_id(m, pack_pos_to_midx(m, 0)); In midx_to_pack_pos() which performs this binary search, we look up the identity of the preferred pack before each search. This is relatively quick, since it involves two table-driven lookups (one in the MIDX's revindex for `pack_pos_to_midx()`, and another in the MIDX's object table for `nth_midxed_pack_int_id()`). But since the preferred pack does not change after the MIDX is written, it is safe to cache this value on the MIDX itself. Write a helper to do just that, and rewrite all of the existing call-sites that care about the identity of the preferred pack in terms of this new helper. This will prepare us for a subsequent patch where we will need to binary search through the MIDX's pseudo-pack order multiple times.

midx: read `RIDX` chunk when present When a MIDX contains the new `RIDX` chunk, ensure that the reverse index is read from it instead of the on-disk .rev file. Since we need to encode the object order in the MIDX itself for correctness reasons, there is no point in storing the same data again outside of the MIDX. So, this patch stops writing separate .rev files, and reads it out of the MIDX itself. This is possible to do with relatively little new code, since the format of the RIDX chunk is identical to the data in the .rev file. In other words, we can implement this by pointing the `revindex_data` field at the reverse index chunk of the MIDX instead of the .rev file without any other changes. Note that we have two knobs that are adjusted for the new tests: GIT_TEST_MIDX_WRITE_REV and GIT_TEST_MIDX_READ_RIDX. The former controls whether the MIDX .rev is written at all, and the latter controls whether we read the MIDX's RIDX chunk. Both are necessary to ensure that the test added at the beginning of this series continues to work. This is because we always need to write the RIDX chunk in the MIDX in order to change its checksum, but we want to make sure reading the existing .rev file still works (since the RIDX chunk takes precedence by default). Arguably this isn't a very interesting mode to test, because the precedence rules mean that we'll always read the RIDX chunk over the .rev file. But it makes it impossible for a user to induce corruption in their repository by adjusting the test knobs (since if we had an either/or knob they could stop writing the RIDX chunk, allowing them to tweak the MIDX's object order without changing its checksum).

midx: preliminary support for `--refs-snapshot` To figure out which commits we can write a bitmap for, the multi-pack index/bitmap code does a reachability traversal, marking any commit which can be found in the MIDX as eligible to receive a bitmap. This approach will cause a problem when multi-pack bitmaps are able to be generated from `git repack`, since the reference tips can change during the repack. Even though we ignore commits that don't exist in the MIDX (when doing a scan of the ref tips), it's possible that a commit in the MIDX reaches something that isn't. This can happen when a multi-pack index contains some pack which refers to loose objects (e.g., if a pack was pushed after starting the repack but before generating the MIDX which depends on an object which is stored as loose in the repository, and by definition isn't included in the multi-pack index). By taking a snapshot of the references before we start repacking, we can close that race window. In the above scenario (where we have a packed object pointing at a loose one), we'll either (a) take a snapshot of the references before seeing the packed one, or (b) take it after, at which point we can guarantee that the loose object will be packed and included in the MIDX. This patch does just that. It writes a temporary "reference snapshot", which is a list of OIDs that are at the ref tips before writing a multi-pack bitmap. References that are "preferred" (i.e,. are a suffix of at least one value of the 'pack.preferBitmapTips' configuration) are marked with a special '+'. The format is simple: one line per commit at each tip, with an optional '+' at the beginning (for preferred references, as described above). When provided, the reference snapshot is used to drive bitmap selection instead of the MIDX code doing its own traversal. When it isn't provided, the usual traversal takes place instead.
