Pack streaming and restoring

• index-from-pack
  • capability to receive packs from a stream
  • stream pack with iterator interface
    • provide seen compressed bytes
  • repair pack - write trailer for all complete objects
  • build index from pack
    • header
    • fan-out table
    • oids
    • crc32
      • encode pack header (for needed for CRC32)
    • 32bit offsets
    • 64 bit offset extension
  • stress test generating an index for the linux kernel pack (uses 64 bit offsets)
• **cli index-from-pack **
  • build index from pack
  • complete pack with trailer
• asciinemas
  • explode
  • index-from-pack

Cloning

• receive pack
  • resolve thin pack with Bundle
• git-transport
  • transport layer
  • receive a pack
• git-refs
  • Enough to handle a git fetch - maybe we can just hardcode things for now…
• git-repository
  • clone from https remote

FSCK an entire repository

• multi-db (incorporate object lookup for loose objects and packs)
  • single threaded
  • optional object cache
  • fs-check - verify all object content of a git repository
• cli
  • Clone into valid repository

Other

• quality
  • use parking_lot to get rid of poisoned locks (and the unwraps() that go with it)
• progress - convenience
  • Alternate unit - might help doing throughput and things like throughput per second (for downloads)
  • a way to measure throughput on drop
  • percentages somewhere near the progress bar
• criner
  • switch to isahc seems to allow async-reading of bodies, allowing to get rid of reqwest and tokio. Redirect is configurable.
• quick-error update
  • We need a new release soon with the latest updates to get rid of our git dependency. Until then we can't release.
