[PATCH v9 0/9] Implement a batched fsync option for core.fsyncObjectFiles

["Neeraj K. Singh via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

Thanks to everyone for review so far!

This series shares the base tmp-objdir patches with my merged version of
Elijah Newren's remerge-diff series at:
https://github.com/neerajsi-msft/git/tree/neerajsi/remerge-diff.

Changes between v8 and v9 [1]:

 * Rebased onto master at tag v2.34.0
 * Fixed git-prune bug when trying to clean up multiple cruft directories.
 * Preserve the tmp-objdir around update_relative_gitdir, which is called by
   setup_work_tree through the chdir_notify mechanism.
 * Per [2], I'm leaving the fsyncObjectFiles configuration as is with
   'true', 'false', and 'batch'. This makes using old and new versions of
   git with 'batch' mode a little trickier, but hopefully people will
   generally be moving forward in versions.

[1] See
https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.1067.git.1635287730.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqh7cimuxt.fsf@gitster.g/

Changes between v7 and v8:

 * Dropped the tmp-objdir patch to avoid renaming in a quarantine/temporary
   objdir, as suggested by Jeff King. This wasn't a good idea because we
   don't really know that there's only a single reader/writer. Avoiding the
   rename was a relatively minor perf optimization so it's okay to drop.

 * Added disable_ref_updates logic (as a flag on the odb) which is set when
   we're in a quarantine or when a tmp objdir is active. I believe this
   roughly follows the strategy suggested by Jeff King.

Neeraj Singh (9):
  tmp-objdir: new API for creating temporary writable databases
  tmp-objdir: disable ref updates when replacing the primary odb
  bulk-checkin: rename 'state' variable and separate 'plugged' boolean
  core.fsyncobjectfiles: batched disk flushes
  core.fsyncobjectfiles: add windows support for batch mode
  update-index: use the bulk-checkin infrastructure
  unpack-objects: use the bulk-checkin infrastructure
  core.fsyncobjectfiles: tests for batch mode
  core.fsyncobjectfiles: performance tests for add and stash
