Hidehiro Kawai 0e4fb5e283 ext3: add an option to control error handling on file data
If the journal doesn't abort when it gets an IO error in file data blocks,
the file data corruption will spread silently.  Because most of
applications and commands do buffered writes without fsync(), they don't
notice the IO error.  It's scary for mission critical systems.  On the
other hand, if the journal aborts whenever it gets an IO error in file
data blocks, the system will easily become inoperable.  So this patch
introduces a filesystem option to determine whether it aborts the journal
or just call printk() when it gets an IO error in file data.

If you mount a ext3 fs with data_err=abort option, it aborts on file data
write error.  If you mount it with data_err=ignore, it doesn't abort, just
call printk().  data_err=ignore is the default.

Steven Whitehouse a447c09324 vfs: Use const for kernel parser table
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.

This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

Al Viro 77e69dac3c [PATCH] fix races and leaks in vfs_quota_on() users
* new helper: vfs_quota_on_path(); equivalent of vfs_quota_on() sans the
  pathname resolution.
* callers of vfs_quota_on() that do their own pathname resolution and
  checks based on it are switched to vfs_quota_on_path(); that way we
  avoid the races.
* reiserfs leaked dentry/vfsmount references on several failure exits.

Jan Kara d06bf1d252 ext3: correct mount option parsing to detect when quota options can be changed
We should not allow user to change quota mount options when quota is just
suspended.  I would make mount options and internal quota state inconsistent.
Also we should not allow user to change quota format when quota is turned on.
On the other hand we can just silently ignore when some option is set to the
value it already has (mount does this on remount).

In journal=data mode, it is not enough to do write_inode_now as done in
vfs_quota_on() to write all data to their final location (which is needed for
quota_read to work correctly).  Calling journal_flush() does its job.

Jan Blunck 4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

without patch series:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5321639  858418  715768 6895825  6938d1 vmlinux

with patch series:

5320026  858418  715768 6894212  693284 vmlinux

This patch:

Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

Takashi Sato 0f0a89ebe1 ext3: support large blocksize up to PAGESIZE
This patch set supports large block size(>4k, <=64k) in ext3 just enlarging
the block size limit.  But it is NOT possible to have 64kB blocksize on
ext3 without some changes to the directory handling code.  The reason is
that an empty 64kB directory block would have a rec_len == (__u16)2^16 ==
0, and this would cause an error to be hit in the filesystem.  The proposed
solution is treat 64k rec_len with a an impossible value like rec_len =
0xffff to handle this.

The Patch-set consists of the following 2 patches.
  [1/2]  ext3: enlarge blocksize
         - Allow blocksize up to pagesize

  [2/2]  ext3: fix rec_len overflow
         - prevent rec_len from overflow with 64KB blocksize

Now on 64k page ppc64 box runs with this patch set we could create a 64k
block size ext3, and able to handle empty directory block.

Eric Sandeen 780dcdb211 fix inode_table test in ext234_check_descriptors
ext[234]_check_descriptors sanity checks block group descriptor geometry at
mount time, testing whether the block bitmap, inode bitmap, and inode table
reside wholly within the blockgroup.  However, the inode table test is off
by one so that if the last block in the inode table resides on the last
block of the block group, the test incorrectly fails.  This is because it
tests the last block as (start + length) rather than (start + length - 1).

This can be seen by trying to mount a filesystem made such as:

 mkfs.ext2 -F -b 1024 -m 0 -g 256 -N 3744 fsfile 1024

which yields:

 EXT2-fs error (device loop0): ext2_check_descriptors: Inode table for group 0 not in group (block 101)!
 EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted!

There is a similar bug in e2fsprogs, patch already sent for that.

(I wonder if inside(), outside(), and/or in_range() should someday be
used in this and other tests throughout the ext filesystems...)

Badari Pulavarty a71ce8c6c9 ext3: statfs speed up
This is a patch that speeds up statfs.  It is very simple - the "overhead"
calculation, which takes a huge amount of time for large filesystems, never
changes unless the size of the filesystem itself changes.  That means we can
store it in memory and only recalculate if the filesystem has been resized
(almost never).

It also fixes a minor problem that we never update the on-disk superblock free
blocks/inodes counts until the filesystem is unmounted.  While not fatal, we
may as well update that on disk when we have the information, and it makes

Jan Kara 030703e49d ext3: fix deadlock in ext3_remount() and orphan list handling
ext3_orphan_add() and ext3_orphan_del() functions lock sb->s_lock with a
transaction started with ext3_mark_recovery_complete() waits for a transaction
holding sb->s_lock, thus leading to a possible deadlock.  At the moment we
call ext3_mark_recovery_complete() from ext3_remount() we have done all the
work needed for remounting and thus we are safe to drop sb->s_lock before we
wait for transactions to commit.  Note that at this moment we are still
guarded by s_umount lock against other remounts/umounts.

Christoph Lameter 50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

Hugh Dickins 2e7842b887 [PATCH] fix umask when noACL kernel meets extN tuned for ACLs
Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2 or
ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by a
kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating
inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666,
and mkdir creates directories as 0777.

This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default
mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does,
unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in
s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts.

We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test);
but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured.  We
could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting
the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs).

Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support.

read-write, disallow a remount,rw transition of the filesystem when we have an
unprocessed orphan inodes as this would corrupt the list.

Ideally we should process the orphan inode list during the remount, but that's
trickier, and this plugs the hole for now.

David Howells f0d1b0b30d [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel
This facility provides three entry points:

	ilog2()		Log base 2 of unsigned long
	ilog2_u32()	Log base 2 of u32
	ilog2_u64()	Log base 2 of u64

These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:

	int do_something(long q)
	{
		...;
		y = ilog2(x)
		...;
	}

Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:

	unsigned n = ilog2(27);

When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant.  They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.

When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

Dmitry Mishin 2245d7c21f [PATCH] ext3: errors behaviour fix
Current error behaviour for ext2 and ext3 filesystems does not fully
correspond to the documentation and should be fixed.

According to man 8 mount, ext2 and ext3 file systems allow to set one of 3
different on-errors behaviours:

  ---- start of quote man 8 mount ----

  errors=continue / errors=remount-ro / errors=panic

    Define the behaviour when an error is encountered.  (Either ignore
    errors and just mark the file system erroneous and continue, or remount
    the file system read-only, or panic and halt the system.) The default is
    set in the filesystem superblock, and can be changed using tune2fs(8).

  ---- end of quote ----

However EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock, and thus
ERRORS_CONT is not saved on the sbi->s_mount_opt.  It leads to the incorrect
handle of errors on ext3.

Then we've checked corresponding code in ext2 and discovered that it is buggy
as well:

- EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE is not read from the superblock (the same);

- parse_option() does not clean the alternative values and thus something
  like (ERRORS_CONT|ERRORS_RO) can be set;

- if options are omitted, parse_option() does not set any of these options.

Therefore it is possible to set any combination of these options on the ext2:

- none of them may be set: EXT2_ERRORS_CONTINUE on superblock / empty mount
  options;

- any of them may be set using mount options;

- 2 any options may be set: by using EXT2_ERRORS_RO/EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the
  superblock and other value in mount options;

- and finally all three options may be set by adding third option in remount.

Currently ext2 uses these values only in ext2_error() and it is not leading to
any noticeable troubles.  However somebody may be discouraged when he will try
to workaround EXT2_ERRORS_PANIC on the superblock by using errors=continue in
mount options.

This patch:

EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE should be taken from the superblock as default value for
error behaviour.

Vasily Averin 7543fc7b3a [PATCH] ext3: wrong error behavior
SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error
behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following
patch:

2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org
Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ

In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue
(EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible.  However at
present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem
to read-only.  Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ
from that of 2.4.x kernels.

This patch fixes this:
- do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE,
- set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases
- panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save
 sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS

Eric Sandeen 855565e81a [PATCH] fix ext3 mounts at 16T
I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for
a 16T ext3 filesystem.  (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that
off the kernel list)

This patch fixes these issues in the kernel:

o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super()

	sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) -
			       le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) +
			       EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) /
			      EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb);

  at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding
  EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0.
  Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount.

  Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this
  way should work & avoid the overflow:

  (A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1

o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks

  ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure
  that various bits are within the right block ranges...  on the last pass
  through, it is checking the error case

   [item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)

  where "block" is the first block in the last block group.  The last
  block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block
  + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1.  block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps
  back around to 0.

  so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those
  are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=.

  Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account
  for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1;

(a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind
use ext2 at 16T?  I'll send an ext2 patch doing the same thing if that's
warranted)

Arjan van de Ven 5c81a4197d [PATCH] lockdep: annotate the quota code
The quota code plays interesting games with the lock ordering; to quote Jan:

| i_mutex of inode containing quota file is acquired after all other
| quota locks. i_mutex of all other inodes is acquired before quota
| locks. Quota code makes sure (by resetting inode operations and
| setting special flag on inode) that noone tries to enter quota code
| while holding i_mutex on a quota file...

The good news is that all of this special case i_mutex grabbing happens in the
(per filesystem) low level quota write function.  For this special case we
need a new I_MUTEX_* nesting level, since this just entirely outside any of
the regular VFS locking rules for i_mutex.  I trust Jan on his blue eyes that
this is not ever going to deadlock; and based on that the patch below is what
it takes to inform lockdep of these very interesting new locking rules.

The new locking rule for the I_MUTEX_QUOTA nesting level is that this is the
deepest possible level of nesting for i_mutex, and that this only should be
used in quota write (and possibly read) function of filesystems.  This makes
the lock ordering of the I_MUTEX_* levels:

I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL -> I_MUTEX_QUOTA

Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

Mingming Cao 1c2bf374a4 [PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixes
Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes
int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based).  While
trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some
blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need
to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning).  So it seem saner to define
two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is
group-relative blocks.  The following patches clarify these two types of
blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3
filesystem limit to 8TB.

With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm
tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB.

This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes
the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine
ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for
ext3 filesystem block corresponding.

Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have
been reviewed and discussed:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2

Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and
>8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39).  Tests
includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress.

This patch:

Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for
filesystem wide blocks.

This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks
occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before.  Also include
kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables.  There are
some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel
currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code.  This
patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned
long) type.

The percpu counter data type are changed in this set of patches to support
more users like ext3 who need more than 32 bit to store the free blocks
total in the filesystem.

- Generic perpcu counters data type changes.  The size of the global counter
  and local counter were explictly specified using s64 and s32.  The global
  counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from
  long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases.

- Users of the percpu counters are updated to make use of the new
  percpu_counter_init() routine now taking an additional parameter to allow
  users to pass the initial value of the global counter.

David Howells 726c334223 [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.

This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there.  However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.

Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

David Howells 454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Paul Jackson 4b6a9316fa [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems
Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
memory spreading.

If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
spreading.

Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

Mark Bellon 8fc2751beb [PATCH] disk quotas fail when /etc/mtab is symlinked to /proc/mounts
If /etc/mtab is a regular file all of the mount options (of a file system)
are written to /etc/mtab by the mount command.  The quota tools look there
for the quota strings for their operation.  If, however, /etc/mtab is a
symlink to /proc/mounts (a "good thing" in some environments) the tools
don't write anything - they assume the kernel will take care of things.

While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount system
call and the file system codes handle them properly unfortunately there is
no code to echo the quota strings into /proc/mounts and the quota tools
fail in the symlink case.

The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and JFS codes to add the necessary
hooks.  The show_options function of each file system in these patches
currently deal with only those things that seemed related to quotas;
especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).

Jan Kara also noted the difficulty in moving these changes above the FS
codes responding similarly to myself to Andrew's comment about possible
VFS migration. Issue summary:

 - FS codes have to process the entire string of options anyway.

 - Only FS codes that use quotas must have a show_options function (for
   quotas to work properly) however quotas are only used in a small number
   of FS.

 - Since most of the quota using FS support other options these FS codes
   should have the a show_options function to show those options - and the
   quota echoing becomes virtually negligible.

Based on feedback I have modified my patches from the original:

   JFS a missing patch has been restored to the posting
   EXT[2|3] and JFS always use the show_options function
       - Each FS has at least one FS specific option displayed
       - QUOTA output is under a CONFIG_QUOTA ifdef
       - a follow-on patch will add a multitude of options for each FS
   EXT[2|3] and JFS "quota" is treated as "usrquota"
   EXT3 journalled data check for journalled quota removed
   EXT[2|3] mount when quota specified but not compiled in

 - no changes from my original patch.  I tested the patch and the codes
   warn but

 - still mount.  With all due respection I believe the comments
   otherwise were a

 - misread of the patch.  Please reread/test and comment.  XFS patch
   removed - the XFS team already made the necessary changes EXT3 mixing
   old and new quotas are handled differently (not purely exclusive)

 - if old and new quotas for the same type are used together the old
   type is silently depricated for compatability (e.g.  usrquota and
   usrjquota)

 - mixing of old and new quotas is an error (e.g.  usrjquota and
   grpquota)

Jan Kara 1f54587bea [PATCH] quota: ext3: Improve quota credit estimates
Use improved credits estimates for quota operations.  Also reserve a space
for a quota operation in a transaction only if filesystem was mounted with
some quota options.

Stephen Tweedie 301216244b [PATCH] Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal.
Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal.

ext3 usually reports error conditions that it detects in its environment.
But when its journal gets aborted due to such errors, it can sometimes
continue to report that condition forever, spamming the console to such
an extent that the initial first cause of the journal abort can be lost.

When the journal aborts, we put the filesystem into readonly mode.  Most
subsequent filesystem operations will get rejected immediately by checks
for MS_RDONLY either in the filesystem or in the VFS.  But some paths do
not have such checks --- for example, if we continue to write to a file
handle that was opened before the fs went readonly.  (We only check for
the ROFS condition when the file is first opened.)  In these cases, we
can continue to generate log errors similar to

EXT3-fs error (device $DEV) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted

for each subsequent write.

There is really no point in generating these errors after the initial
error has been fully reported.  Specifically, if we're starting a
completely new filesystem operation, and the filesystem is *already*
readonly (ie. the ext3 layer has already detected and handled the
underlying jbd abort), and we see an EROFS error, then there is simply
no point in reporting it again.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
