git/unpack-objects.c, branch v1.2.2

remove delta-against-self bit

2006-02-10T05:06:38Z

After experimenting with code to add the ability to encode a delta against part of the deltified file, it turns out that resulting packs are _bigger_ than when this ability is not used. The raw delta output might be smaller, but it doesn't compress as well using gzip with a negative net saving on average. Said bit would in fact be more useful to allow for encoding the copying of chunks larger than 64KB providing more savings with large files. This will correspond to packs version 3. While the current code still produces packs version 2, it is made future proof so pack versions 2 and 3 are accepted. Any pack version 2 are compatible with version 3 since the redefined bit was never used before. When enough time has passed, code to use that bit to produce version 3 packs could be added.

unpack-objects: default to quiet if stderr is not a tty.

This would help cron/at jobs that run send-pack to mirror repositories. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

xread/xwrite: do not worry about EINTR at calling sites.

2005-12-20T02:28:16Z

We had errno==EINTR check after read(2)/write(2) sprinkled all over the places, always doing continue. Consolidate them into xread()/xwrite() wrapper routines. Credits for suggestion goes to HPA -- bugs are mine. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Fix up progress report for off-by-one error

2005-07-10T23:14:22Z

We used to print the index of the object we unpacked, not how many we had unpacked. Which caused slightly confusing progress reports like 100% (2/3) done rather than the more obvious "3/3" for 100% ;)

git-unpack-objects: show progress report by default

2005-07-09T17:43:02Z

This ends up being very calming for big "git clone"s, since otherwise you just get very frustrated with a long silence, wondering whether it's working at all. Use "-q" to quiet it down. Now if we could just do the same for the initial "figure out what to pack" phase, which can also be quite slow if the other end is busy (or not packed and not in cache)...

Don't special-case a zero-sized compression.

2005-07-06T00:06:09Z

zlib actually writes a header for that case, and while ignoring that header will get us the right data, it will also end up messing up our stream position. So we actually want zlib to "uncompress" even an empty object.
