26 * Note: this header isn't active yet. In future versions of git
27 * we may change the index file format. At that time we would start
28 * the first four bytes of the new index format with this signature,
29 * as all older git binaries would find this value illegal and abort
30 * reading the file.
32 * This is the case because the number of objects in a packfile
33 * cannot exceed 1,431,660,000 as every object would need at least
34 * 3 bytes of data and the overall packfile cannot exceed 4 GiB due
35 * to the 32 bit offsets used by the index. Clearly the signature
36 * exceeds this maximum.
38 * Very old git binaries will also compare the first 4 bytes to the
39 * next 4 bytes in the index and abort with a "non-monotonic index"
40 * error if the second 4 byte word is smaller than the first 4
41 * byte word. This would be true in the proposed future index
42 * format as idx_signature would be greater than idx_version.
