This is v3 of a patch series that changes the reading and caching of
the `packed-refs` file to use `mmap()`. Thanks to Stefan, Peff, Dscho,
and Junio for their comments about v2. I think I have addressed all of
the feedback from v1 [1] and v2 [2].
This version has only minor changes relative to v2:
* Fixed a trivial error in the commit message for patch 08.
* In patch 13:
* In the commit message, explain the appearance of `MMAP_TEMPORARY`
even though it is not yet treated differently than `MMAP_NONE`.
* In `Makefile`, don't make `USE_WIN32_MMAP` imply
`MMAP_PREVENTS_DELETE`.
* Correct the type of a local variable from `size_t` to `ssize_t`.
This patch series is also available from my GitHub repo [3] as branch
`mmap-packed-refs`.
