The default behaviour for the packbuilder is to perform the work in a
single thread, which is fine for the public API, but we currently have
no way for a user to determine the number of threads to use when
creating the packfile, which makes our clone behaviour over the
filesystem quite a bit slower than what git offers.
This is a very particular scenario, in which we avoid spawning git by
being ourselves the server-side, so it's probably ok to auto-set the
threading, as the upload-pack process would do if we were talking to
git.
Currently we use the most naïve and inefficient method for figuring out
which objects to send to the remote whereby we end up trying to insert
subdirs which have not changed multiple times.
Instead, make use of the packbuilder's built-in more efficient method
which uses the walk to feed the object list and avoids inserting an
object and its descendants.
Most use-cases for the object packer communicate in terms of commits
which each side has. We already have an object to specify this
relationship between commits, namely git_revwalk.
By knowing which commits we want to pack and which the other side
already has, we can perform similar optimisations to git, by marking
each tree as interesting or uninteresting only once, and not sending
those trees which we know the other side has.
Keep the definitions in the headers, while putting the declarations in
the C files. Putting the function definitions in headers causes
them to be duplicated if you include two headers with them.
If a refspec could not be parsed, the git_refspec__parse function would
return an error value but would not provide additional error information
for the callers. This commit amends that function to set a more useful
error message.
When we rename a reference, we want the old and new ids to be the same
one (as we did not change it). The normal code path looks up the old id
from the current value of the brtanch, but by the time we look it up, it
does not exist anymore and thus we write a zero id.
Pass the old id explicitly instead.

Clear the error message on git_libgit2_shutdown for all versions of
the library (no threads and Win32 threads). Drop the giterr_clear
in clar, as that shouldn't be necessary.
This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
a git_buf which the user then owns.
The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
