This JGit version fixes:
- Bug 420915 - jgit gc hangs in partitionTasks with a very small repo
- Bug 427107 - cannot push anymore
The latter was observed by CollabNet to break Gerrit replication if gc
created a bitmap index which may have induced PackWriterBitmapWalker.
findObjects() to throw a MissingObjectException.
This version of JGit also fixes the recursive merger on all storage
systems. Objects created during the virtual base construction of a
recursive merge must be written out somewhere and made available
through an ObjectReader for later passes to work on.
In both local filesystem and DFS implementations Gerrit was no-op'ing
the inserter in dry-run mode, causing these objects to be lost and
unavailable during the later processing stages of the merger. With a
virtual common ancestor tree or blob missing, the dry-run merger fails
and a spurious merge conflict is reported.
Instead build a non-flushing inserter wrapper around a real inserter
for the repository. On local disk (standard storage) this will allow
the virtual base to write loose objects, which may be reclaimed in
about two weeks by the standard `git prune` invoked by `git gc`.
On DFS systems this will create a new pack file and buffer a block of
data in memory before starting to store to persistent storage.
However with no flush() the DfsInserter will attempt to rollback the
pack, which may allow the DFS system to reclaim its storage quickly.
Some implementations of DFS may buffer even more deeply than one
block, making the discard even cheaper for smaller merges.
This update also fixes a potential infinite loop during object
inflation within both the WindowCursor or DfsReader versions of
ObjectReader. Inflation could get stuck if an object's compression
stream within a pack ended at a very precise alignment with the cache
block size. The alignment problem is very rare, as it has taken
several years to identify and track down.
