    Rewrite git_hashtable internals The old hash table with chained buckets has been replaced by a new one using Cuckoo hashing, which offers guaranteed constant lookup times. This should improve speeds on most use cases, since hash tables in libgit2 are usually used as caches where the objects are stored once and queried several times. The Cuckoo hash implementation is based off the one in the Basekit library [1] for the IO language, but rewritten to support an arbritrary number of hashes. We currently use 3 to maximize the usage of the nodes pool. [1]: https://github.com/stevedekorte/basekit/blob/master/source/CHash.c Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>
