This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base
cache per thread. Per-thread data is grouped in struct thread_local.
When running with nr_threads == 1, no pthreads calls are made. The
system essentially runs in non-thread mode.
An experiment on a Xeon 24 core machine with git.git shows that
performance does not increase proportional to the number of cores. So
by default, we use maximum 3 cores. Some numbers with --threads from 1
to 16:
1..4
real 0m8.003s 0m5.307s 0m4.321s 0m3.830s
user 0m7.720s 0m8.009s 0m8.133s 0m8.305s

--strict::
Die, if the pack contains broken objects or links.
+--threads=<n>::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when resolving
+ deltas. This requires that index-pack be compiled with
+ pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a warning.
+ This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor
+ machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search
+ window is however multiplied by the number of threads.
+ Specifying 0 will cause git to auto-detect the number of CPU's
+ and use maximum 3 threads.
