Re: [PATCH] repack: rewrite the shell script in C.

This is the beginning of the rewrite of the repacking.

(please, mark your patch as RFC/PATCH in the subject in this case)

A few quick comments on style below.

I suggested that you first enrich the test suite if needed. Did you
check that the testsuite had good enough coverage for git-repack?

+static const char * const git_repack_usage[] = {

Style: no space after *.

+static int delta_base_offset = 1; // enabled by default since 22c79eab (2008-06-25)

No // comments please (they're C99, not portable C90).

+int cmd_repack(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) {

Brace on the next line.

+	fname = xmalloc(strlen(packdir) + 47); // 40 chars for the sha1

+	fname_old = xmalloc(strlen(packdir) + 52); // 40 chars for the sha1

I'd rather have "40 + strlen("whatever")" explicitly.
