This is a small-ish series that I worked on to split the functions from
midx.c which are responsible for writing MIDX files into a separate
compilation unit, midx-write.c.
This is done for a couple of reasons:
- It reduces the size of midx.c, which is already quite large, thus
making it easier to read.
- It more clearly separates responsibility between the two, similar to
the division between pack-bitmap.c, and pack-bitmap-write.c.
Most importantly, it makes midx.c easier to read in preparation for
future changes that I hope to make to midx.c in order to support
incremental MIDXs in a repository.
The series is structured as follows:
- The first seven patches move all writing-related functions from
midx.c to their new home in midx-write.c.
- The remaining four patches rewrite `git multi-pack-index repack` in
terms of `git pack-objects --stdin-packs`, yielding more
tightly-packed output as a result of the supplemental traversal
performed by `--stdin-packs`.
The first seven are the main goal of this series, and the remaining four
could be queued separately, depending on how folks feel about them.
Thanks in advance for your review!
