Edward Thomson f0e693b1 2021-09-07T17:53:49 str: introduce `git_str` for internal, `git_buf` is external libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by `git_buf`. We require: 1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc). 2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they can take ownership of. By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and reasoning about correctness is also difficult. Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class. The name also is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr"). The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint. It is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that follow the documentation. (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.) Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a `git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it back again.

lhchavez f847fa7b 2020-02-16T02:00:56 midx: Support multi-pack-index files in odb_pack.c This change adds support for reading multi-pack-index files from the packfile odb backend. This also makes git_pack_file objects open their backing failes lazily in more scenarios, since the multi-pack-index can avoid having to open them in some cases (yay!). This change also refreshes the documentation found in src/odb_pack.c to match the updated code. Part of: #5399

lhchavez 005e7715 2020-02-23T22:28:52 multipack: Introduce a parser for multi-pack-index files This change is the first in a series to add support for git's multi-pack-index. This should speed up large repositories significantly. Part of: #5399
