This patch series is upstreaming work made by GitHub and available in:

https://github.com/peff/git/commits/jk/delta-islands

The above work has been already described in the following article:

https://githubengineering.com/counting-objects/

The above branch contains only one patch. In this patch series the
patch has been split into 5 patches (1/8, 2/8, 4/8, 5/8 and 6/8) with
their own commit message, and on top of that 3 new patches (3/8, 7/8
and 8/8) have been added. The new patches implement things that were
requested after the previous iterations.

I kept Peff as the author of the original 5 patches and took the
liberty to add his Signed-off-by to them.

As explained in details in the Counting Object article referenced
above, the goal of the delta island mechanism is for a hosting
provider to make it possible to have the "forks" of a repository share
as much storage as possible while preventing object packs to contain
deltas between different forks.

If deltas between different forks are not prevented, when users clone
or fetch a fork, preparing the pack that should be sent to them can be
very costly CPU wise, as objects from a different fork should not be
sent, which means that a lot of deltas might need to be computed
again (instead of reusing existing deltas).


The following changes have been made since the previous iteration:

* suggested by Duy: move the code computing the write order for a
  layer to a new separate function called compute_layer_order() in
  builtin/pack-objects.c in new patch 3/8

  I think that indeed this makes the following patch (4/8) shorter and
  easier to understand as well as the overall result nicer.

* suggested by Duy and Peff: rework the way the 'tree_depth' field is
  moved from 'struct object_entry' to 'struct packing_data' in
  pack-object.h in patch 7/8

* suggested by Duy and Peff: move field 'layer' from
  'struct object_entry' to 'struct packing_data' in pack-object.h in
  new patch 8/8
