I've updated this onto 'master' now that ds/path-walk-1 is merged. v3
is imminent.

It required a few updates that I'm sure you've been making within the
merge in order to keep 'seen' building.

  - pack-objects: prevent name hash version change
  - test-tool: add helper for name-hash values
  - p5313: add size comparison test
  - pack-objects: add GIT_TEST_NAME_HASH_VERSION
  - repack: add --name-hash-version option

  "git pack-objects" and its wrapper "git repack" learned an option
  to use an alternative path-hash function to improve delta-base
  selection to produce a packfile with deeper history than window
  size.
  Will merge to 'next'?

Since this is still marked with a question mark, I'll mention that
the last version seems stable and has Taylor's review.

Indeed this has an Ack in [ref].  Let's
merge it down to 'next'.
