merge-ort: avoid recursing into directories when we don't need to
This combines the work of the last several patches, and implements the conditions when we don't need to recurse into directories. It's perhaps easiest to see the logic by separating the fact that a directory might have both rename sources and rename destinations: * rename sources: only files present in the merge base can serve as rename sources, and only when one side deletes that file. When the tree on one side matches the merge base, that means every file within the subtree matches the merge base. This means that the skip-irrelevant-rename-detection optimization from before kicks in and we don't need any of these files as rename sources. * rename destinations: the tree that does not match the merge base might have newly added and hence unmatched destination files. This is what usually prevents us from doing trivial directory resolutions in the merge machinery. However, the fact that we have deferred recursing into this directory until the end means we know whether there are any unmatched relevant potential rename sources elsewhere in this merge. If there are no unmatched such relevant sources anywhere, then there is no need to look for unmatched potential rename destinations to match them with. This informs our algorithm: * Search through relevant_sources; if we have entries, they better all be reflected in cached_pairs or cached_irrelevant, otherwise they represent an unmatched potential rename source (causing the optimization to be disallowed). * For any relevant_source represented in cached_pairs, we do need to to make sure to get the destination for each source, meaning we need to recurse into any ancestor directories of those destinations. * Once we've recursed into all the rename destinations for any relevant_sources in cached_pairs, we can then do the trivial directory resolution for the remaining directories. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 5.235 s ± 0.042 s 205.1 ms ± 3.8 ms mega-renames: 9.419 s ± 0.107 s 1.564 s ± 0.010 s just-one-mega: 480.1 ms ± 3.9 ms 479.5 ms ± 3.9 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
