Restricting files to size_t is a silly limitation. The loose backend
writes to a file directly, so there is no issue in using 63 bits for the
size.
We still assume that the header is going to fit in 64 bytes, which does
mean quite a bit smaller files due to the run-length encoding, but it's
still a much larger size than you would want Git to handle.
It was there to keep it apart from the one which read in from a file on
disk. This other indexer does not exist anymore, so there is no need for
anything other than git_indexer to refer to it.
While here, rename _add() function to _append() and _finalize() to
_commit(). The former change is cosmetic, while the latter avoids
talking about "finalizing", which OO languages use to mean something
completely different.
Now that #1785 is merged, git_odb_stream_finalize_write() calculates the object id before invoking the odb backend.
This commit gives a chance to the backend to check if it already knows this object.
Clarify the role of each function and in particular mention that there
is no need for the backend or stream to worry about the object's id,
as it will be given when `finalize_write` is called.
The frontend is in charge of calculating the id of the objects. Thus
the backends should treat it as a read-only value. The positioning in
the function signature made it seem as though it was an output
parameter.
Make the id const and move it from the front to behind the subject
(backend or stream).
Hash the data as it's coming into the stream and tell the backend what
its name is when finalizing the write. This makes it consistent with
the way a plain git_odb_write() performs the write.
This moves some of the odb_backend stuff that is related to the
internals of an odb_backend implementation into include/git2/sys.
Some of the stuff related to streaming I left in include/git2
because it seemed like it would be reasonably needed by a normal
user who wanted to stream objects into and out of the ODB.
Also, I added APIs for traversing the list of backends so that
some of the tests would not need to access ODB internals.
All the ODB backends have a specific refresh interface. When reading an
object, first we attempt every single backend: if the read fails, then
we refresh all the backends and retry the read one more time to see if
the object has appeared.
1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
Temporary files when doing streaming writes are now stored inside the
Objects folder, to prevent issues when moving files between
disks/partitions.
Add support for block writes to the ODB again (for those backends that
cannot implement streaming).
Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings.
This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the
whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major
external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release.
Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be
included in the next minor release. Sorry again!
Major features include:
- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
- Streaming writes & reads from the ODB
- Single-method writes for all object types
- The external API is now partially thread-safe
The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when
reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when
writing big objects to the ODB.
Here's a full changelog for the external API:

- Add `git_commit_create_ov`
tag.h
-----
- Remove `git_tag_new`
- Remove `git_tag_set_target`
- Remove `git_tag_set_name`
- Remove `git_tag_set_tagger`
- Remove `git_tag_set_message`
- Add `git_tag_create`
- Add `git_tag_create_o`
tree.h
------
- Change `git_tree_entry_2object`:
New signature is `(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo, git_tree_entry *entry)`
- Remove `git_tree_new`
- Remove `git_tree_add_entry`
- Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byindex`

object.h
------------

memory leak.
odb.h
-----
- Remove type `git_rawobj`
- Remove `git_rawobj_close`
- Rename `git_rawobj_hash` -> `git_odb_hash`
- Change `git_odb_hash`:
New signature is `(git_oid *id, const void *data, size_t len, git_otype type)`
- Add type `git_odb_object`
- Add `git_odb_object_close`
- Change `git_odb_read`:
New signature is `(git_odb_object **out, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)`
- Change `git_odb_read_header`:
New signature is `(size_t *len_p, git_otype *type_p, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)`
- Remove `git_odb_write`

odb_backend.h
-------------
- Change type `git_odb_backend`:
New internal signatures are as follows
int (* read)(void **, size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
int (* read_header)(size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
int (* writestream)(struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, size_t, git_otype)
int (* readstream)( struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
- Add type `git_odb_stream`
- Add enum `git_odb_streammode`
