4 The sha1-array API provides storage and manipulation of sets of SHA1
5 identifiers. The emphasis is on storage and processing efficiency,
6 making them suitable for large lists. Note that the ordering of items is
7 not preserved over some operations.
14 A single array of SHA1 hashes. This should be initialized by
15 assignment from `SHA1_ARRAY_INIT`. The `sha1` member contains
16 the actual data. The `nr` member contains the number of items in
17 the set. The `alloc` and `sorted` members are used internally,
18 and should not be needed by API callers.
24 Add an item to the set. The sha1 will be placed at the end of
25 the array (but note that some operations below may lose this
29 Perform a binary search of the array for a specific sha1.
30 If found, returns the offset (in number of elements) of the
31 sha1. If not found, returns a negative integer. If the array is
32 not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting it.
35 Free all memory associated with the array and return it to the
38 `sha1_array_for_each_unique`::
39 Efficiently iterate over each unique element of the list,
40 executing the callback function for each one. If the array is
41 not sorted, this function has the side effect of sorting it.

69 * avoided adding duplicate objects in the first place,
70 * but we would end up re-sorting the array repeatedly.
71 * Instead, this will sort once and then skip duplicates
