The remaining missing piece in order to teach the `merge-tree` builtin
how to write the contents of a merge into a pack is a function to index
tree objects into a bulk-checkin pack.
This patch implements that missing piece, which is a thin wrapper around
all of the functionality introduced in previous commits.
If and when Git gains support for a "compatibility" hash algorithm, the
changes to support that here will be minimal. The bulk-checkin machinery
will need to convert the incoming tree to compute its length under the
compatibility hash, necessary to reconstruct its header. With that
information (and the converted contents of the tree), the bulk-checkin
machinery will have enough to keep track of the converted object's hash
in order to update the compatibility mapping.
Within some thin wrapper around `deflate_obj_to_pack_incore()` (perhaps
`deflate_tree_to_pack_incore()`), the changes should be limited to
something like:
struct strbuf converted = STRBUF_INIT;
if (the_repository->compat_hash_algo) {
if (convert_object_file(&compat_obj,
the_repository->hash_algo,
the_repository->compat_hash_algo, ...) < 0)
die(...);
format_object_header_hash(the_repository->compat_hash_algo,
OBJ_TREE, size);
}
/* compute the converted tree's hash using the compat algorithm */
strbuf_release(&converted);
, assuming related changes throughout the rest of the bulk-checkin
machinery necessary to update the hash of the converted object, which
are likewise minimal in size.
