What do you mean by "keep the exposed surface area small enough"? If you mean the total number of exposed functions in sha1_file and pack (once everything is done), I think it will be almost the same as that currently in sha1_file. ... During this patch set, there might be some functions that need to be temporarily made global, but those are reverted to static in the end.
That is exactly what I meant.
As stated above, I don't think so, but I'll make a list of the functions needing to be made global.
Good. Thanks.
