Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Allow pack header preprocessing before unpack-objects/index-pack.

From: Shawn Pearce <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 02:56:29 -0500

Some applications which invoke unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
may want to examine the pack header to determine the number of
objects contained in the pack and use that value to determine which
executable to invoke to handle the rest of the pack stream.

However if the caller consumes the pack header from the input stream
then its no longer available for unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin,
both of which need the version and object count to process the stream.

This change introduces --pack_header=ver,cnt as a command line option
that the caller can supply to indicate it has already consumed the
pack header and what version and object count were found in that
header.  As this option is only meant for low level applications
such as receive-pack we are not documenting it at this time.

Credit goes to Nicolas Pitre for suggesting this approach on the
git mailing list.

 This series of two patches replaces my last receive-pack (3/3)
 patch.
