Re: [PATCH 0/8] git-repack --max-pack-size

On 4/8/07, Dana How [off-list ref] wrote:

The three most common ways of making large packfiles
are git-fast-import, the first git-repack, or git-repack -a.
The first already supports a "--max-pack-size=N" option,
which limits the resulting packfiles to N megabytes.
This patchset adds the same option, with the same
behavior, to git-repack to handle the other two cases.

After reviewing others' comments,  this latest patchset
touches 2/3 fewer files and 1/6 fewer lines,  and
introduces no behavior not seen elsewhere in git.

At the moment,  I plan the following changes to this patchset:
* Redo after 64b index applied (Nicolas)
* Bad re-use of header around sha1write (Nicolas)
* Set object_entry.offset before write_object (Dana)
* Finish reducing struct object_entry (Junio)
* Remove spaces from inside () (Junio)

Concerning refactorings,
I'd prefer to keep those in a separate (follow-on?) patchset.

Thanks,
