Change Ide3445e652 introduced the `--pack-kept-objects` option to GC for
including the objects contained in the locked packfiles during the
repack phase.
Whilst this allowed to explicitly pass a command line argument to the
jgit gc program, it did not allow the option to be read from
configuration.
Allow the pack kept objects option to be configured exactly as C-Git
documents [1], by introducing a new `repack.packKeptObjects`
configuration.
`repack.packKeptObjects` defaults to `true`, when the
`pack.buildBitmaps` is `true` (which is the default case), `false`
otherwise.

Introduce a core.packedIndexGitUseStrongRefs configuration key, which
defaults to true so that the current behavior does not change. However,
setting it to false allows soft references to be used for Pack indices
instead of strong references so that they can be garbage collected when
there is memory pressure.
Pack objects can be large when associated with pack files with large
object counts, and this memory is not really accounted for or tracked by
the WindowCache and it can be very substantial at times, especially with
many large object count projects. A particularly problematic use case is
Gerrit's ls-projects command which loads very little data in the
WindowCache via ByteWindows, but ends up loading and holding many entire
indices in memory, sometimes even after the ByteWindows for their Pack
objects have already been garbage collected since they won't get cleared
until after a new ByteWindow is loaded. By using SoftReferences, single
use indices can get cleared when there is memory pressure and OOMs can
be easily avoided, drastically reducing the amount of memory required to
perform an ls-projects on large sites with many projects and large
object counts.
On one of our test sites, an ls-projects command with strong index
references requires more than 66GB of heap to complete successfully,
with soft index references it requires less than 23GB.

By default, Git will report, to the server, commits reachable from all local refs to find common commits in an attempt to reduce the size of the to-be-received packfile. If specified with negotiation tip, Git will only report commits reachable from the given tips. This is useful to speed up fetches when the user knows which local ref is likely to have commits in common with the upstream ref being fetched.
When negotation-tip is on, use the wanted refs instead of all refs as source of the "have" list to send.
This is controlled by the `fetch.usenegotationtip` flag, false by default. This works only for programmatic fetches and there is no support for it yet in the CLI.

Fix getPackedRefs to not throw NoSuchFileException
Add pack options to preserve and prune old pack files
Allow to perform PackedBatchRefUpdate without locking loose refs
Document option "core.sha1Implementation" introduced in 59029aec
Change-Id: I36051c623fcd480aa80ed32b4e89f9bdd1b798e0
The object size index can have up to #(blobs-in-repo) entries, taking
a relevant amount of memory. Let operators configure the threshold size
to include objects in the size index.
The index will include objects with size *at or above* this
value (with -1 for none). This is more effective for the
filter-by-size case.
Lowering the threshold adds more objects to the index. This improves
performance at the cost of memory/storage space. For the object-size
case, more calls will use the index instead of reading IO. For the
filter-by-size case, lower threshold means better granularity (if
ObjectReader#isSmallerThan is implemented based only on the index).

Add the options
- pack.preserveOldPacks
- pack.prunePreserved
This allows to configure in git config if old packs should be preserved
during gc and pruned during the next gc.
The original implementation in 91132bb0 only allows to set these options
using the API.

When running a GC.repack() against a repository with over one
thousands of refs/heads and tens of millions of ObjectIds,
the calculation of all bitmaps associated with all the refs
would result in an unreasonable big file that would take up to
several hours to compute.
Test scenario: repo with 2500 heads / 10M obj Intel Xeon E5-2680 2.5GHz
Before this change: 20 mins
After this change and 2300 heads excluded: 10 mins (90s for bitmap)
Having such a large bitmap file is also slow in the runtime
processing and have negligible or even negative benefits, because
the time lost in reading and decompressing the bitmap in memory
would not be compensated by the time saved by using it.
It is key to preserve the bitmaps for those refs that are mostly
used in clone/fetch and give the ability to exlude some refs
prefixes that are known to be less frequently accessed, even
though they may actually be actively written.
Example: Gerrit sandbox branches may even be actively
used and selected automatically because its commits are very
recent, however, they may bloat the bitmap, making it ineffective.
A mono-repo with tens of thousands of developers may have
a relatively small number of active branches where the
CI/CD jobs are continuously fetching/cloning the code. However,
because Gerrit allows the use of sandbox branches, the
total number of refs/heads may be even tens to hundred
thousands.

A new loose object may not be immediately visible on a NFS
client if it was created on another client. Refreshing the
'objects' dir and trying again can help work around the NFS
behavior.
Here's an E2E problem that this change can help fix. Consider
a Gerrit multi-primary setup with repositories based on NFS.
Add a new patch-set to an existing change and then immediately
fetch the new patch-set of that change. If the fetch is handled
by a Gerrit primary different that the one which created the
patch-set, then we sometimes run into a MissingObjectException
that causes the fetch to fail.

Currently, we always read packed-refs file when 'trustFolderStat'
is false. Introduce a new config 'trustPackedRefsStat' which takes
precedence over 'trustFolderStat' when reading packed refs. Possible
values for this new config are:
* always: Trust packed-refs file attributes
* after_open: Same as 'always', but refresh the file attributes of
packed-refs before trusting it
* never: Always read the packed-refs file
* unset: Fallback to 'trustFolderStat' to determine if the file
attributes of packed-refs can be trusted
Folks whose repositories are on NFS and have traditionally been
setting 'trustFolderStat=false' can now get some performance improvement
with 'trustPackedRefsStat=after_open' as it refreshes the file
attributes of packed-refs (at least on some NFS clients) before
considering it.
For example, consider a repository on NFS with ~500k packed-refs. Here
are some stats which illustrate the improvement with this new config
when reading packed refs on NFS:
trustFolderStat=true trustPackedRefsStat=unset: 0.2ms
trustFolderStat=false trustPackedRefsStat=unset: 155ms
trustFolderStat=false trustPackedRefsStat=after_open: 1.5ms

The search for reuse phase for *all* the objects scans *all*
the packfiles, looking for the best candidate to serve back to the
client.
This can lead to an expensive operation when the number of
packfiles and objects is high.
Add parameter "pack.searchForReuseTimeout" to limit the time spent
on this search.
