From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In an environment where the multi-pack-index is useful, it is due to many pack-files and an inability to repack the object store into a single pack-file. However, it is likely that many of these pack-files are rather small, and could be repacked into a slightly larger pack-file without too much effort. It may also be important to ensure the object store is highly available and the repack operation does not interrupt concurrent git commands. Introduce a 'repack' subcommand to 'git multi-pack-index' that takes a '--batch-size' option. The subcommand will inspect the multi-pack-index for referenced pack-files whose size is smaller than the batch size, until collecting a list of pack-files whose sizes sum to larger than the batch size. Then, a new pack-file will be created containing the objects from those pack-files that are referenced by the multi-pack-index. The resulting pack is likely to actually be smaller than the batch size due to compression and the fact that there may be objects in the pack- files that have duplicate copies in other pack-files. The current change introduces the command-line arguments, and we add a test that ensures we parse these options properly. Since we specify a small batch size, we will guarantee that future implementations do not change the list of pack-files. In addition, we hard-code the modified times of the packs in the pack directory to ensure the list of packs sorted by modified time matches the order if sorted by size (ascending). This will be important in a future test.
