Rather than using 'errno == EMFILE' after a failed open() call to indicate the process is out of file descriptors and an LRU pack window should be closed, place a hard upper limit on the number of open packs based on the actual rlimit of the process. By using a hard upper limit that is below the rlimit of the current process it is not necessary to check for EMFILE on every single fd-allocating system call. Instead reserving 25 file descriptors makes it safe to assume the system call won't fail due to being over the filedescriptor limit. Here 25 is chosen as a WAG, but considers 3 for stdin/stdout/stderr, and at least a few for other Git code to operate on temporary files. An additional 20 is reserved as it is not known what the C library needs to perform other services on Git's behalf, such as nsswitch or name resolution. This fixes a case where running `git gc --auto` in a repository with more than 1024 packs (but an rlimit of 1024 open fds) fails due to the temporary output file not being able to allocate a file descriptor. The output file is opened by pack-objects after object enumeration and delta compression are done, both of which have already opened all of the packs and fully populated the file descriptor table.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
