Code cleanup and typofixes
* ds/bloom-cleanup:
completion: offer '--(no-)patch' among 'git log' options
bloom: use num_changes not nr for limit detection
bloom: de-duplicate directory entries
Documentation: changed-path Bloom filters use byte words
bloom: parse commit before computing filters
test-bloom: fix usage typo
bloom: fix whitespace around tab length
|

* We need a `final_new_line` to make our source code as text file, per
POSIX and C specification.
* `bloom_filters` should be limited to interal linkage only

Fix alignment issues that were likely introduced due to an editor
using tab lengths of 4 instead of 8.

Revision walk will now use Bloom filters for commits to speed up
revision walks for a particular path (for computing history for
that path), if they are present in the commit-graph file.
We load the Bloom filters during the prepare_revision_walk step,
currently only when dealing with a single pathspec. Extending
it to work with multiple pathspecs can be explored and built on
top of this series in the future.
While comparing trees in rev_compare_trees(), if the Bloom filter
says that the file is not different between the two trees, we don't
need to compute the expensive diff. This is where we get our
performance gains. The other response of the Bloom filter is '`:maybe',
in which case we fall back to the full diff calculation to determine
if the path was changed in the commit.
We do not try to use Bloom filters when the '--walk-reflogs' option
is specified. The '--walk-reflogs' option does not walk the commit
ancestry chain like the rest of the options. Incorporating the
performance gains when walking reflog entries would add more
complexity, and can be explored in a later series.
Performance Gains:
We tested the performance of `git log -- <path>` on the git repo, the linux
and some internal large repos, with a variety of paths of varying depths.
On the git and linux repos:
- we observed a 2x to 5x speed up.
On a large internal repo with files seated 6-10 levels deep in the tree:
- we observed 10x to 20x speed ups, with some paths going up to 28 times
faster.

Add logic to
a) parse Bloom filter information from the commit graph file and,
b) re-use existing Bloom filters.
See Documentation/technical/commit-graph-format for the format in which
the Bloom filter information is written to the commit graph file.
To read Bloom filter for a given commit with lexicographic position
'i' we need to:
1. Read BIDX[i] which essentially gives us the starting index in BDAT for
filter of commit i+1. It is essentially the index past the end
of the filter of commit i. It is called end_index in the code.
2. For i>0, read BIDX[i-1] which will give us the starting index in BDAT
for filter of commit i. It is called the start_index in the code.
For the first commit, where i = 0, Bloom filter data starts at the
beginning, just past the header in the BDAT chunk. Hence, start_index
will be 0.
3. The length of the filter will be end_index - start_index, because
BIDX[i] gives the cumulative 8-byte words including the ith
commit's filter.
We toggle whether Bloom filters should be recomputed based on the
compute_if_not_present flag.

Add the core implementation for computing Bloom filters for
the paths changed between a commit and it's first parent.
We fill the Bloom filters as (const char *data, int len) pairs
as `struct bloom_filters" within a commit slab.
Filters for commits with no changes and more than 512 changes,
is represented with a filter of length zero. There is no gain
in distinguishing between a computed filter of length zero for
a commit with no changes, and an uncomputed filter for new commits
or for commits with more than 512 changes. The effect on
`git log -- path` is the same in both cases. We will fall back to
the normal diffing algorithm when we can't benefit from the
existence of Bloom filters.

Introduce the constructs for Bloom filters, Bloom filter keys
and Bloom filter settings.
For details on what Bloom filters are and how they work, refer
to Dr. Derrick Stolee's blog post [1]. It provides a concise
explanation of the adoption of Bloom filters as described in
[2] and [3].
Implementation specifics:
1. We currently use 7 and 10 for the number of hashes and the
size of each entry respectively. They served as great starting
values, the mathematical details behind this choice are
described in [1] and [4]. The implementation, while not
completely open to it at the moment, is flexible enough to allow
for tweaking these settings in the future.
Note: The performance gains we have observed with these values
are significant enough that we did not need to tweak these
settings. The performance numbers are included in the cover letter
of this series and in the commit message of the subsequent commit
where we use Bloom filters to speed up `git log -- path`.
2. As described in [1] and [3], we do not need 7 independent hashing
functions. We use the Murmur3 hashing scheme, seed it twice and
then combine those to procure an arbitrary number of hash values.
3. The filters will be sized according to the number of changes in
each commit, in multiples of 8 bit words.

In preparation for computing changed paths Bloom filters,
implement the Murmur3 hash algorithm as described in [1].
It hashes the given data using the given seed and produces
a uniformly distributed hash value.
