This commit prepares for adding batch-fsync to the bulk-checkin infrastructure. The bulk-checkin infrastructure is currently used to batch up addition of large blobs to a packfile. When a blob is larger than big_file_threshold, we unconditionally add it to a pack. If bulk checkins are 'plugged', we allow multiple large blobs to be added to a single pack until we reach the packfile size limit; otherwise, we simply make a new packfile for each large blob. The 'unplug' call tells us when the series of blob additions is done so that we can finish the packfiles and make their objects available to subsequent operations. Stated another way, bulk-checkin allows callers to define a transaction that adds multiple objects to the object database, where the object database can optimize its internal operations within the transaction boundary. Batched fsync will fit into bulk-checkin by taking advantage of the plug/unplug functionality to determine the appropriate time to fsync and make newly-added objects available in the primary object database. * Rename 'state' variable to 'bulk_checkin_packfile', since we will later be adding 'bulk_fsync_objdir'. This also makes the variable easier to find in the debugger, since the name is more unique. * Rename finish_bulk_checkin to flush_bulk_checkin_packfile and call it unconditionally from unplug_bulk_checkin. Internally it will conditionally do a flush if there's any work to do. * Move the 'plugged' data member of 'bulk_checkin_state' into a separate static variable. Doing this avoids resetting the variable in finish_bulk_checkin when zeroing the 'bulk_checkin_state'. As-is, we seem to unintentionally disable the plugging functionality the first time a new packfile must be created due to packfile size limits. While disabling the plugging state only results in suboptimal behavior for the current code, it would be fatal for the bulk-fsync functionality later in this patch series. The net effect of these changes is to make a clear separation between the portion of the bulk-checkin infrastructure that is related to the packfile (nearly all of it at present) and the part that is related to other future optimizations of the ODB.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
