Subject: repack-geometry: prepare for incremental MIDX repacking
X-Git-Tag: v2.55.0-rc0~45^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d0ac3969f4b8a859d23c9f45cab873cbbf8cdfb8;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

repack-geometry: prepare for incremental MIDX repacking

Teach `pack_geometry_init()` to optionally restrict the set of
repacking candidates to only packs in the tip MIDX layer when a
`midx_layer_threshold` is configured. If the tip layer has fewer packs
than the threshold, those packs are excluded entirely; otherwise only
packs in that layer participate in the geometric repack.

Also track whether any tip-layer packs were included in the rollup
(`midx_tip_rewritten`), which a subsequent commit will use to decide
how to update the MIDX chain after repacking.
