let pack-objects do the writing of unreachable objects as loose objects
Commit ccc1297226b184c40459e9d373cc9eebfb7bd898 changed the behavior of 'git repack -A' so unreachable objects are stored as loose objects. However it did so in a naive and inn efficient way by making packs about to be deleted inaccessible and feeding their content through 'git unpack-objects'. While this works, there are major flaws with this approach: - It is unacceptably sloooooooooooooow. In the Linux kernel repository with no actual unreachable objects, doing 'git repack -A -d' before: real 2m33.220s user 2m21.675s sys 0m3.510s And with this change: real 0m36.849s user 0m24.365s sys 0m1.950s For reference, here's the timing for 'git repack -a -d': real 0m35.816s user 0m22.571s sys 0m2.011s This is explained by the fact that 'git unpack-objects' was used to unpack _every_ objects even if (almost) 100% of them were thrown away. - There is a black out period. Between the removal of the .idx file for the redundant pack and the completion of its unpacking, the unreachable objects become completely unaccessible. This is not a big issue as we're talking about unreachable objects, but some consistency is always good. - There is no way to easily set a sensible mtime for the newly created unreachable loose objects. So, while having a command called "pack-objects" to perform object unpacking looks really odd, this is probably the best compromize to be able to solve the above issues in an efficient way.
