Each of these were checked with
   gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).

...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file.  These cases were:
  * builtin/credential-cache.c
  * builtin/pull.c
  * builtin/send-pack.c

Update check_object_signature to find the hash algorithm the exising
signature uses, and to use the same hash algorithm when recomputing it
to check the signature is valid.

This will be useful when teaching git ls-tree to display objects
encoded with the compat hash algorithm.

oid_object_info_extended is updated to detect an oid encoding that
does not match the current repository, use repo_oid_to_algop to find
the correspoding oid in the current repository and to return the data
for the oid.

To create the proper signatures for commit objects both versions of
the commit object need to be generated and signed.  After that it is
a waste to throw away the work of generating the compatibility hash
so update write_object_file_flags to take a compatibility hash input
parameter that it can use to skip the work of generating the
compatability hash.

Update the places that don't generate the compatability hash to
pass NULL so it is easy to tell write_object_file_flags should
not attempt to use their compatability hash.

<title>object-file: update the loose object map when writing loose objects</title>

<id>urn:sha1:63a6745a07c2202d16d580156661d42e00b9762f</id>
<content type='text'>
To implement SHA1 compatibility on SHA256 repositories the loose
object map needs to be updated whenver a loose object is written.
Updating the loose object map this way allows git to support
the old hash algorithm in constant time.

The functions write_loose_object, and stream_loose_object are
the only two functions that write to the loose object store.

Update stream_loose_object to compute the compatibiilty hash, update
the loose object, and then call repo_add_loose_object_map to update
the loose object map.

Update write_object_file_flags to convert the object into
it's compatibility encoding, hash the compatibility encoding,
write the object, and then update the loose object map.

Update force_object_loose to lookup the hash of the compatibility
encoding, write the loose object, and then update the loose object
map.

Update write_object_file_literally to convert the object into it's
compatibility hash encoding, hash the compatibility enconding, write
the object, and then update the loose object map, when the type string
is a known type.  For objects with an unknown type this results in a
partially broken repository, as the objects are not mapped.

The point of write_object_file_literally is to generate a partially
broken repository for testing.  For testing skipping writing the loose
object map is much more useful than refusing to write the broken
object at all.

Except that the loose objects are updated before the loose object map
I have not done any analysis to see how robust this scheme is in the
event of failure.

<title>bulk-checkin: only support blobs in index_bulk_checkin</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=9eb5419799f08402ee3bd185c2d2c50ded669b06'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9eb5419799f08402ee3bd185c2d2c50ded669b06</id>
<content type='text'>
As the code is written today index_bulk_checkin only accepts blobs.
Remove the enum object_type parameter and rename index_bulk_checkin to
index_blob_bulk_checkin, index_stream to index_blob_stream,
deflate_to_pack to deflate_blob_to_pack, stream_to_pack to
stream_blob_to_pack, to make this explicit.

Not supporting commits, tags, or trees has no downside as it is not
currently supported now, and commits, tags, and trees being smaller by
design do not have the problem that the problem that index_bulk_checkin
was built to solve.

Before we start adding code to support the hash function transition
supporting additional objects types in index_bulk_checkin has no real
additional cost, just an extra function parameter to know what the
object type is.  Once we begin the hash function transition this is not
the case.

The hash function transition document specifies that a repository with
compatObjectFormat enabled will compute and store both the SHA-1 and
SHA-256 hash of every object in the repository.

What makes this a challenge is that it is not just an additional hash
over the same object.  Instead the hash function transition document
specifies that the compatibility hash (specified with
compatObjectFormat) be computed over the equivalent object that another
git repository whose storage hash (specified with objectFormat) would
store.  When comparing equivalent repositories built with different
storage hash functions, the oids embedded in objects used to refer to
other objects differ and the location of signatures within objects
differ.

As blob objects have neither oids referring to other objects nor stored
signatures their storage hash and their compatibility hash are computed
over the same object.

The other kinds of objects: trees, commits, and tags, all store oids
referring to other objects.  Signatures are stored in commit and tag
objects.  As oids and the tags to store signatures are not the same size
in repositories built with different storage hashes the size of the
equivalent objects are also different.

A version of index_bulk_checkin that supports more than just blobs when
computing both the SHA-1 and the SHA-256 of every object added would
need a different, and more expensive structure.  The structure is more
expensive because it would be required to temporarily buffering the
equivalent object the compatibility hash needs to be computed over.

A temporary object is needed, because before a hash over an object can
computed it's object header needs to be computed.  One of the members of
the object header is the entire size of the object.  To know the size of
an equivalent object an entire pass over the original object needs to be
made, as trees, commits, and tags are composed of a variable number of
variable sized pieces.  Unfortunately there is no formula to compute the
size of an equivalent object from just the size of the original object.

Avoid all of those future complications by limiting index_bulk_checkin
to only work on blobs.

<content type='text'>
There are a few callback functions which are used with the fsck code,
but it's natural that not all callbacks need all parameters. For
reporting, even something as obvious as "the oid of the object which had
a problem" is not always used, as some callers are only checking a
single object in the first place. And for both reporting and walking,
things like void data pointers and the fsck_options aren't always
necessary.

But since each such parameter is used by _some_ callback, we have to
keep them in the interface. Mark the unused ones in specific callbacks
to avoid triggering -Wunused-parameter.

alloc_nr, ALLOC_GROW, and ALLOC_GROW_BY are commonly used macros for
dynamic array allocation. Moving these macros to git-compat-util.h with
the other alloc macros focuses alloc.[ch] to allocation for Git objects
and additionally allows us to remove inclusions to alloc.h from files
that solely used the above macros.
