mod.rs

//! Streaming Git pack encoder.
//!
//! The encoder has two modes:
//!
//! - `window_size == 0`: encode objects independently with zlib. Object compression is
//!   parallelized with Rayon and input order is preserved.
//! - `window_size > 0`: group and sort objects, search a sliding window for a suitable delta
//!   base, encode the target as an offset delta when profitable, then zlib-compress the payload.
//!
//! Rabin fingerprinting is the default delta engine. Building without `diff_rabin` falls back to
//! Myers (`diff_mydrs`) or Patience when neither diff feature is enabled.
//!
//! Pack bytes are sent through an async channel instead of being written directly. This keeps
//! object preparation, CPU-heavy compression, and file or network output decoupled. When an index
//! sender is configured, the encoder also records each object's hash, CRC32, and pack offset so an
//! `.idx` v2 file can be generated after the pack is complete.
