Subject: Allow pack header preprocessing before unpack-objects/index-pack.
X-Git-Tag: v1.4.4-rc1~5^2~5
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bed006fbddf919eed81cf62954e0332a395bf035;p=git.git

Allow pack header preprocessing before unpack-objects/index-pack.

Some applications which invoke unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
may want to examine the pack header to determine the number of
objects contained in the pack and use that value to determine which
executable to invoke to handle the rest of the pack stream.

However if the caller consumes the pack header from the input stream
then its no longer available for unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin,
both of which need the version and object count to process the stream.

This change introduces --pack_header=ver,cnt as a command line option
that the caller can supply to indicate it has already consumed the
pack header and what version and object count were found in that
header.  As this option is only meant for low level applications
such as receive-pack we are not documenting it at this time.
