This patch series adds support for large packs to GIT.  It creates a new
index format to accommodate both larger offsets and to store a checksum
for each raw object in a pack.  More details is provided in each patch
commit message.

This is not a replacement for the pack size limiting feature.  I think that
GIT should support both: large packs and split packs.
