* jk/doc-max-pack-size:
doc: warn people against --max-pack-size
|
|
This option is almost never a good idea, as the resulting repository is
larger and slower (see the new explanations in the docs).
I outlined the potential problems. We could go further and make the
option harder to find (or at least, make the command-line option
descriptions a much more terse "you probably don't want this; see
pack.packsizeLimit for details"). But this seems like a minimal change
that may prevent people from thinking it's more useful than it is.

"git repack" so far has been only capable of repacking everything
under the sun into a single pack (or split by size). A cleverer
strategy to reduce the cost of repacking a repository has been
introduced.

builtin/pack-objects.c: ignore missing links with --stdin-packs
builtin/repack.c: reword comment around pack-objects flags
builtin/repack.c: be more conservative with unsigned overflows
builtin/repack.c: assign pack split later
t7703: test --geometric repack with loose objects
builtin/repack.c: do not repack single packs with --geometric

In an upcoming commit, 'git repack' will want to create a pack comprised
of all of the objects in some packs (the included packs) excluding any
objects in some other packs (the excluded packs).
This caller could iterate those packs themselves and feed the objects it
finds to 'git pack-objects' directly over stdin, but this approach has a
few downsides:
- It requires every caller that wants to drive 'git pack-objects' in
this way to implement pack iteration themselves. This forces the
caller to think about details like what order objects are fed to
pack-objects, which callers would likely rather not do.
- If the set of objects in included packs is large, it requires
sending a lot of data over a pipe, which is inefficient.
- The caller is forced to keep track of the excluded objects, too, and
make sure that it doesn't send any objects that appear in both
included and excluded packs.
But the biggest downside is the lack of a reachability traversal.
Because the caller passes in a list of objects directly, those objects
don't get a namehash assigned to them, which can have a negative impact
on the delta selection process, causing 'git pack-objects' to fail to
find good deltas even when they exist.
The caller could formulate a reachability traversal themselves, but the
only way to drive 'git pack-objects' in this way is to do a full
traversal, and then remove objects in the excluded packs after the
traversal is complete. This can be detrimental to callers who care
about performance, especially in repositories with many objects.
Introduce 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' which remedies these four
concerns.
'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' expects a list of pack names on stdin,
where 'pack-xyz.pack' denotes that pack as included, and
'^pack-xyz.pack' denotes it as excluded. The resulting pack includes all
objects that are present in at least one included pack, and aren't
present in any excluded pack.
To address the delta selection problem, 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs'
works as follows. First, it assembles a list of objects that it is going
to pack, as above. Then, a reachability traversal is started, whose tips
are any commits mentioned in included packs. Upon visiting an object, we
find its corresponding object_entry in the to_pack list, and set its
namehash parameter appropriately.
To avoid the traversal visiting more objects than it needs to, the
traversal is halted upon encountering an object which can be found in an
excluded pack (by marking the excluded packs as kept in-core, and
passing --no-kept-objects=in-core to the revision machinery).
This can cause the traversal to halt early, for example if an object in
an included pack is an ancestor of ones in excluded packs. But stopping
early is OK, since filling in the namehash fields of objects in the
to_pack list is only additive (i.e., having it helps the delta selection
process, but leaving it blank doesn't impact the correctness of the
resulting pack).
Even still, it is unlikely that this hurts us much in practice, since
the 'git repack --geometric' caller (which is introduced in a later
commit) marks small packs as included, and large ones as excluded.
During ordinary use, the small packs usually represent pushes after a
large repack, and so are unlikely to be ancestors of objects that
already exist in the repository.
(I found it convenient while developing this patch to have 'git
pack-objects' report the number of objects which were visited and got
their namehash fields filled in during traversal. This is also included
in the below patch via trace2 data lines).

The options --missing=allow-{any,promisor} were introduced in caf3827e2f
("rev-list: add list-objects filtering support", 2017-11-22) with the
following note in the commit message:
This patch introduces handling of missing objects to help
debugging and development of the "partial clone" mechanism,
and once the mechanism is implemented, for a power user to
perform operations that are missing-object aware without
incurring the cost of checking if a missing link is expected.
The idea that these options are missing-object aware (and thus do not
need to lazily fetch objects, unlike unaware commands that assume that
all objects are present) are assumed in later commits such as 07ef3c6604
("fetch test: use more robust test for filtered objects", 2020-01-15).
However, the current implementations of these options use
has_object_file(), which indeed lazily fetches missing objects. Teach
these implementations not to do so. Also, update the documentation of
these options to be clearer.

The pack.useSparse config option was introduced by 3d036eb0
(pack-objects: create pack.useSparse setting, 2019-01-19) and was
first available in v2.21.0. When enabled, the pack-objects process
during 'git push' will use a sparse tree walk when deciding which
trees and blobs to send to the remote. The algorithm was introduced
by d5d2e93 (revision: implement sparse algorithm, 2019-01-16) and
has been in production use by VFS for Git since around that time.
The features.experimental config option also enabled pack.useSparse,
so hopefully that has also increased exposure.
It is worth noting that pack.useSparse has a possibility of
sending more objects across a push, but requires a special
arrangement of exact _copies_ across directories. There is a test
in t5322-pack-objects-sparse.sh that demonstrates this possibility.
This test uses the --sparse option to "git pack-objects" but we
can make it implied by the config value to demonstrate that the
default value has changed.
While updating that test, I noticed that the documentation did not
include an option for --no-sparse, which is now more important than
it was before.
Since the downside is unlikely but the upside is significant, set
the default value of pack.useSparse to true. Remove it from the
set of options implied by features.experimental.

Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran
"git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases
where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed
one of the repeated words.
There were many false positives by this grep command, including
deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that
that" which I left alone, of course.
I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated
words in old RelNotes.

When creating a pack-file using 'git pack-objects --revs' we provide
a list of interesting and uninteresting commits. For example, a push
operation would make the local topic branch be interesting and the
known remote refs as uninteresting. We want to discover the set of
new objects to send to the server as a thin pack.
We walk these commits until we discover a frontier of commits such
that every commit walk starting at interesting commits ends in a root
commit or unintersting commit. We then need to discover which
non-commit objects are reachable from uninteresting commits. This
commit walk is not changing during this series.
The mark_edges_uninteresting() method in list-objects.c iterates on
the commit list and does the following:
* If the commit is UNINTERSTING, then mark its root tree and every
object it can reach as UNINTERESTING.
* If the commit is interesting, then mark the root tree of every
UNINTERSTING parent (and all objects that tree can reach) as
UNINTERSTING.
At the very end, we repeat the process on every commit directly
given to the revision walk from stdin. This helps ensure we properly
cover shallow commits that otherwise were not included in the
frontier.
The logic to recursively follow trees is in the
mark_tree_uninteresting() method in revision.c. The algorithm avoids
duplicate work by not recursing into trees that are already marked
UNINTERSTING.
Add a new 'sparse' option to the mark_edges_uninteresting() method
that performs this logic in a slightly different way. As we iterate
over the commits, we add all of the root trees to an oidset. Then,
call mark_trees_uninteresting_sparse() on that oidset. Note that we
include interesting trees in this process. The current implementation
of mark_trees_unintersting_sparse() will walk the same trees as
the old logic, but this will be replaced in a later change.
Add a '--sparse' flag in 'git pack-objects' to call this new logic.
Add a new test script t/t5322-pack-objects-sparse.sh that tests this
option. The tests currently demonstrate that the resulting object
list is the same as the old algorithm. This includes a case where
both algorithms pack an object that is not needed by a remote due to
limits on the explored set of trees. When the sparse algorithm is
changed in a later commit, we will add a test that demonstrates a
change of behavior in some cases.

These options are added in [1] [2] [3]. All these depend on running
rev-list internally which is normally true since they are always used
with "--all --objects" which implies --revs. But let's keep this

We allow to keep existing packs by having companion .keep files. This
is helpful when a pack is permanently kept. In the next patch, git-gc
just wants to keep a pack temporarily, for one pack-objects
run. git-gc can use --keep-pack for this use case.
A note about why the pack_keep field cannot be reused and
pack_keep_in_core has to be added. This is about the case when
--keep-pack is specified together with either --keep-unreachable or
--unpack-unreachable, but --honor-pack-keep is NOT specified.
In this case, we want to exclude objects from the packs specified on
command line, not from ones with .keep files. If only one bit flag is
used, we have to clear pack_keep on pack files with the .keep file.
But we can't make any assumption about unreachable objects in .keep
packs. If "pack_keep" field is false for .keep packs, we could
potentially pull lots of unreachable objects into the new pack, or
unpack them loose. The safer approach is ignore all packs with either
.keep file or --keep-pack.

Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.
Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:
1. It makes the source prettier to read.
2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
reading the source.
3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a

Before cdab485 (upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to
pack-objects - 2013-08-16) upload-pack does not write to the source
repository. cdab485 starts to write $GIT_DIR/shallow_XXXXXX if it's a

git:// servers do not need write access to repos and usually don't
have it, which means cdab485 breaks shallow clone over git://

The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list

to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.
This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:
- most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
indicate that it was a hierarchy. I didn't do the same for longer
paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
"refs/heads/").
- in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).
- In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed
refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent

Currently the --all-progress flag is used to use force progress display

intent except for actually forcing the activation of any progress
display. With this, progress display will be automatically inhibited
whenever stderr is not a terminal, or full progress display will be
included otherwise. This should let people use 'git push' within a cron
job without filling their logs with useless percentage displays.

When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.
So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.
As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.

With this patch, --local means pack only local objects that are not already
packed.
Additionally, this fixes t7700 testing whether loose objects in an alternate
object database are repacked.

This adds a new option to pack-objects which will cause it to ignore an
object which appears in a local pack which has a .keep file, even if it
was specified for packing.
This option will be used by the porcelain repack.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done
git diff
.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.
