Heh.  t/ passed which meant basic rev listing and verify-pack
appeared OK.  I hardcoded the window size to be 2*getpagesize() (8192
bytes on my Mac OS X system) and started beating up Git against its
own 8 MiB pack.  The window code opened a ton of windows at once as
the PACK_MAX_SZ was 128 MiB.  So I hardcoded that to be 16384 bytes.
And the code worked right against the 8 MiB Git pack by opening
only 4 windows at once and closing the least-recently-used one.

I can easily parameterize both values in .git/config; there's no
real reason for them to be hardcoded.  That should make it easier
to craft some new test cases that push the windowing code.

Not really.  We know the Mozilla pack decompressed is around 20 GiB.
I could decompress it and repack it using no deltas; that should
exceed 4 GiB.  It will take quite some time to run the decompression
and delta inflates, especially with the highly-compressed 450 MiB
pack Jon Smirl sent me.  I can do that kind of testing maybe later
next week after I get my new amd64 system built.
