I think we could do this with something like the patch below, which
checks two things:
1. When we expand the ewah, it has the same number of bits we claimed
in the on-disk header.
2. The ewah header matches the number of objects in the packfile.
The first catches a corruption in the ewah data itself, and the latter
when the header is corrupted. You can test either by breaking the
endian-swapping. :)
Vicent, can you confirm my assumptions about the round-to-nearest-64 in
the patch below? I assume that the bit_size on-disk may be rounded in
some cases (and it is -- if you take out the rounding, this breaks
things). Is that sane? Or should the on-disk ewah bit_size header always
match the number of objects in the pack, and our writer is just being
sloppy?
