gix-pack v0.73.0

Bug Fixes

• cap remaining gix-pack allocations
• reject invalid pack entry header metadata
  The pack entry decoder stored the consumed header length with an infallible u16
  conversion and accepted ref-delta hash lengths through panic-capable slice and
  ObjectId conversions. Malformed or unsupported metadata should become decode
  errors instead of process panics.

New Features (BREAKING)

• make pack compression levels configurable
  Require explicit compression levels when creating pack entries and expose compression in bundle-writing options. Defaults match git: the zlib default for pack entries and the fastest level when completing thin packs with loose-object data.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• prevent panics when decoding malformed pack entry headers
  Represent the pack entry object hash as gix_hash::Kind in
  Entry::from_bytes() instead of accepting a raw hash length. This keeps callers
  from passing unsupported or inconsistent hash lengths and lets the decoder derive
  the ref-delta base id length from the selected object format.
