cat-file: add --batch-command mode
Add a new flag --batch-command that accepts commands and arguments
from stdin, similar to git-update-ref --stdin.
At GitLab, we use a pair of long running cat-file processes when
accessing object content. One for iterating over object metadata with
--batch-check, and the other to grab object contents with --batch.
However, if we had --batch-command, we wouldn't need to keep both
processes around, and instead just have one --batch-command process
where we can flip between getting object info, and getting object
contents. Since we have a pair of cat-file processes per repository,
this means we can get rid of roughly half of long lived git cat-file
processes. Given there are many repositories being accessed at any given
time, this can lead to huge savings.
git cat-file --batch-command
will enter an interactive command mode whereby the user can enter in
commands and their arguments that get queued in memory:
<command1> [arg1] [arg2] LF
<command2> [arg1] [arg2] LF
When --buffer mode is used, commands will be queued in memory until a
flush command is issued that execute them:
flush LF
The reason for a flush command is that when a consumer process (A)
talks to a git cat-file process (B) and interactively writes to and
reads from it in --buffer mode, (A) needs to be able to control when
the buffer is flushed to stdout.
Currently, from (A)'s perspective, the only way is to either
1. kill (B)'s process
2. send an invalid object to stdin.
1. is not ideal from a performance perspective as it will require
spawning a new cat-file process each time, and 2. is hacky and not a
good long term solution.
With this mechanism of queueing up commands and letting (A) issue a
flush command, process (A) can control when the buffer is flushed and
can guarantee it will receive all of the output when in --buffer mode.
--batch-command also will not allow (B) to flush to stdout until a flush
is received.
This patch adds the basic structure for adding command which can be
extended in the future to add more commands. It also adds the following
two commands (on top of the flush command):
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
The contents command takes an <object> argument and prints out the object
contents.
The info command takes an <object> argument and prints out the object
metadata.
These can be used in the following way with --buffer:
info <object> LF
contents <object> LF
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
flush LF
info <object> LF
flush LF
When used without --buffer:
info <object> LF
contents <object> LF
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
info <object> LF
