2021-02-10docs: clarify that refs/notes/ do not keep the attached objects aliveLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-6/+8
`git help gc` contains this snippet: "[...] it will keep [..] objects referenced by the index, remote-tracking branches, notes saved by git notes under refs/notes/" I had interpreted that as saying that the objects that notes were attached to are kept, but that is not the case. Let's clarify the documentation by moving out the part about git notes to a separate sentence.

Using "1~5" isn't portable. Nobody seems to have noticed, since perhaps people don't tend to run the perf suite on more exotic platforms. Still, it's better to set a good example.

2021-01-27ci: do not cancel all jobs of a matrix if one failsLibravatar Philippe Blain1-0/+4
The CI/PR GitHub Actions workflow uses the 'matrix' strategy for the "windows-test", "vs-test", "regular" and "dockerized" jobs. The default behaviour of GitHub Actions is to cancel all in-progress jobs in a matrix if one of the job of the matrix fails [1]. This is not ideal as a failure early in a job, like during installation of the build/test dependencies on a specific platform, leads to the cancellation of all other jobs in the matrix. Set the 'fail-fast' variable to 'false' for all four matrix jobs in the workflow.

We run "git pull" against "$cask_repo"; clarify that we are expecting not to have any of our own modifications and running "git pull" to merely update, by passing "--ff-only" on the command line. Also, the "brew cask install" command line triggers an error message that says: Error: Calling brew cask install is disabled! Use brew install [--cask] instead. In addition, "brew install caskroom/cask/perforce" step triggers an error that says: Error: caskroom/cask was moved. Tap homebrew/cask instead.

2021-01-12patch-ids: handle duplicate hashmap entriesLibravatar Jeff King4-4/+48
This fixes a bug introduced in dfb7a1b4d0 (patch-ids: stop using a hand-rolled hashmap implementation, 2016-07-29) in which git rev-list --cherry-pick A...B will fail to suppress commits reachable from A even if a commit with matching patch-id appears in B. Around the time of that commit, the algorithm for "--cherry-pick" looked something like this: 0. Traverse all of the commits, marking them as being on the left or right side of the symmetric difference. 1. Iterate over the left-hand commits, inserting a patch-id struct for each into a hashmap, and pointing commit->util to the patch-id struct. 2. Iterate over the right-hand commits, checking which are present in the hashmap. If so, we exclude the commit from the output _and_ we mark the patch-id as "seen". 3. Iterate again over the left-hand commits, checking whether commit->util->seen is set; if so, exclude them from the output. At the end, we'll have eliminated commits from both sides that have a matching patch-id on the other side. But there's a subtle assumption here: for any given patch-id, we must have exactly one struct representing it. If two commits from A both have the same patch-id and we allow duplicates in the hashmap, then we run into a problem: a. In step 1, we insert two patch-id structs into the hashmap. b. In step 2, our lookups will find only one of these structs, so only one "seen" flag is marked. c. In step 3, one of the commits in A will have its commit->util->seen set, but the other will not. We'll erroneously output the latter. Prior to dfb7a1b4d0, our hashmap did not allow duplicates. Afterwards, it used hashmap_add(), which explicitly does allow duplicates. At that point, the solution would have been easy: when we are about to add a duplicate, skip doing so and return the existing entry which matches. But it gets more complicated. In 683f17ec44 (patch-ids: replace the seen indicator with a commit pointer, 2016-07-29), our step 3 goes away entirely. Instead, in step 2, when the right-hand side finds a matching patch_id from the left-hand side, we can directly mark the left-hand patch_id->commit to be omitted. Solving that would be easy, too; there's a one-to-many relationship of patch-ids to commits, so we just need to keep a list. But there's more. Commit b3dfeebb92 (rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs, 2016-07-29) built on that by lazily computing the full patch-ids. So we don't even know when adding to the hashmap whether two commits truly have the same id. We'd have to tentatively assign them a list, and then possibly split them apart (possibly into N new structs) at the moment we compute the real patch-ids. This could work, but it's complicated and error-prone. Instead, let's accept that we may store duplicates, and teach the lookup side to be more clever. Rather than asking for a single matching patch-id, it will need to iterate over all matching patch-ids. This does mean examining every entry in a single hash bucket, but the worst-case for a hash lookup was already doing that. We'll keep the hashmap details out of the caller by providing a simple iteration interface. We can retain the simple has_commit_patch_id() interface for the other callers, but we'll simplify its return value into an integer, rather than returning the patch_id struct. That way they won't be tempted to look at the "commit" field of the return value without iterating.

So having more than 1/4 of the file taken up by a digression about a glibc bug that mostly doesn't happen to anyone anymore is just a needless distraction.
