Previous patches leave lots of holes and padding in this struct. This patch reorders the members and shrinks the struct down to 80 bytes (from 136 bytes on 64-bit systems, before any field shrinking is done) with 16 bits to spare (and a couple more in in_pack_header_size when we really run out of bits). This is the last in a series of memory reduction patches (see "pack-objects: a bit of document about struct object_entry" for the first one). Overall they've reduced repack memory size on linux-2.6.git from 3.747G to 3.424G, or by around 320M, a decrease of 8.5%. The runtime of repack has stayed the same throughout this series. Ævar's testing on a big monorepo he has access to (bigger than linux-2.6.git) has shown a 7.9% reduction, so the overall expected improvement should be somewhere around 8%. See 87po42cwql.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on-list (https://public-inbox.org/git/87po42cwql.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/) for more detailed numbers and a test script used to produce the numbers cited above.
