2018-08-14for_each_*_object: move declarations to object-store.hLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The for_each_loose_object() and for_each_packed_object() functions are meant to be part of a unified interface: they use the same set of for_each_object_flags, and it's not inconceivable that we might one day add a single for_each_object() wrapper around them. Let's put them together in a single file, so we can avoid awkwardness like saying "the flags for this function are over in cache.h". Moving the loose functions to packfile.h is silly. Moving the packed functions to cache.h works, but makes the "cache.h is a kitchen sink" problem worse. The best place is the recently-created object-store.h, since these are quite obviously related to object storage. The for_each_*_in_objdir() functions do not use the same flags, but they are logically part of the same interface as for_each_loose_object(), and share callback signatures. So we'll move those, as well, as they also make sense in object-store.h. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-14cat-file: use a single strbuf for all outputLibravatar Jeff King1-11/+17
When we're in batch mode, we end up in batch_object_write() for each object, which allocates its own strbuf for each call. Instead, we can provide a single "scratch" buffer that gets reused for each output. When running: git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname)' on git.git, my best-of-five time drops from: real 0m0.171s user 0m0.159s sys 0m0.012s to: real 0m0.133s user 0m0.121s sys 0m0.012s Note that we could do this just by putting the "scratch" pointer into "struct expand_data", but I chose instead to add an extra parameter to the callstack. That's more verbose, but it makes it a bit more obvious what is going on, which in turn makes it easy to see where we need to be releasing the string in the caller (right after the loop which uses it in each case).

2018-08-13attr: remove index from git_attr_set_direction()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
Since attr checking API now take the index, there's no need to set an index in advance with this call. Most call sites are straightforward because they either pass the_index or NULL (which defaults back to the_index previously). There's only one suspicious call site in unpack-trees.c where it sets a different index. This code in unpack-trees is about to check out entries from the new/temporary index after merging is done in it. The attributes will be used by entry.c code to do crlf conversion if needed. entry.c now respects struct checkout's istate field, and this field is correctly set in unpack-trees.c, there should be no regression from this change.

2018-08-13attr: remove an implicit dependency on the_indexLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2-3/+3
Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive further updates to use the right index instead of the_index. There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some more explanation. Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index. The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that: while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we delete use_index. So this has to be done later. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-13diff.c: move read_index() code back to the callerLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+5
This code is only needed for diff-tree (since f0c6b2a2fd ([PATCH] Optimize diff-tree -[CM] --stdin - 2005-05-27)). Let the caller do the preparation instead and avoid read_index() in diff.c code. read_index() should be avoided (in addition to the_index) because it uses get_index_file() underneath to get the path $GIT_DIR/index. This effectively pulls the_repository in and may become the only reason to pull a 'struct repository *' in diff.c.

2018-08-13cat-file: support "unordered" output for --batch-all-objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+51
If you're going to access the contents of every object in a packfile, it's generally much more efficient to do so in pack order, rather than in hash order. That increases the locality of access within the packfile, which in turn is friendlier to the delta base cache, since the packfile puts related deltas next to each other. By contrast, hash order is effectively random, since the sha1 has no discernible relationship to the content. This patch introduces an "--unordered" option to cat-file which iterates over packs in pack-order under the hood. You can see the results when dumping all of the file content: $ time ./git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c 6883195596 real 0m44.491s user 0m42.902s sys 0m5.230s $ time ./git cat-file --unordered \ --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c 6883195596 real 0m6.075s user 0m4.774s sys 0m3.548s Same output, different order, way faster. The same speed-up applies even if you end up accessing the object content in a different process, like: git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check | grep blob | git cat-file --batch='%(objectname) %(rest)' | wc -c Adding "--unordered" to the first command drops the runtime in git.git from 24s to 3.5s. Side note: there are actually further speedups available for doing it all in-process now. Since we are outputting the object content during the actual pack iteration, we know where to find the object and could skip the extra lookup done by oid_object_info(). This patch stops short of that optimization since the underlying API isn't ready for us to make those sorts of direct requests. So if --unordered is so much better, why not make it the default? Two reasons: 1. We've promised in the documentation that --batch-all-objects outputs in hash order. Since cat-file is plumbing, people may be relying on that default, and we can't change it. 2. It's actually _slower_ for some cases. We have to compute the pack revindex to walk in pack order. And our de-duplication step uses an oidset, rather than a sort-and-dedup, which can end up being more expensive. If we're just accessing the type and size of each object, for example, like: git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check my best-of-five warm cache timings go from 900ms to 1100ms using --unordered. Though it's possible in a cold-cache or under memory pressure that we could do better, since we'd have better locality within the packfile. And one final question: why is it "--unordered" and not "--pack-order"? The answer is again two-fold: 1. "pack order" isn't a well-defined thing across the whole set of objects. We're hitting loose objects, as well as objects in multiple packs, and the only ordering we're promising is _within_ a single pack. The rest is apparently random. 2. The point here is optimization. So we don't want to promise any particular ordering, but only to say that we will choose an ordering which is likely to be efficient for accessing the object content. That leaves the door open for further changes in the future without having to add another compatibility option.

2018-08-13range-diff: also show the diff between patchesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+29
Just like tbdiff, we now show the diff between matching patches. This is a "diff of two diffs", so it can be a bit daunting to read for the beginner. An alternative would be to display an interdiff, i.e. the hypothetical diff which is the result of first reverting the old diff and then applying the new diff. Especially when rebasing frequently, an interdiff is often not feasible, though: if the old diff cannot be applied in reverse (due to a moving upstream), an interdiff can simply not be inferred. This commit brings `range-diff` closer to feature parity with regard to tbdiff. To make `git range-diff` respect e.g. color.diff.* settings, we have to adjust git_branch_config() accordingly. Note: while we now parse diff options such as --color, the effect is not yet the same as in tbdiff, where also the commit pairs would be colored. This is left for a later commit. Note also: while tbdiff accepts the `--no-patches` option to suppress these diffs between patches, we prefer the `-s` (or `--no-patch`) option that is automatically supported via our use of diff_opt_parse(). And finally note: to support diff options, we have to call `parse_options()` such that it keeps unknown options, and then loop over those and let `diff_opt_parse()` handle them. After that loop, we have to call `parse_options()` again, to make sure that no unknown options are left.

2018-08-13range-diff: first rudimentary implementationLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+44
At this stage, `git range-diff` can determine corresponding commits of two related commit ranges. This makes use of the recently introduced implementation of the linear assignment algorithm. The core of this patch is a straight port of the ideas of tbdiff, the apparently dormant project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff. The output does not at all match `tbdiff`'s output yet, as this patch really concentrates on getting the patch matching part right. Note: due to differences in the diff algorithm (`tbdiff` uses the Python module `difflib`, Git uses its xdiff fork), the cost matrix calculated by `range-diff` is different (but very similar) to the one calculated by `tbdiff`. Therefore, it is possible that they find different matching commits in corner cases (e.g. when a patch was split into two patches of roughly equal length).

This is done by an additional invocation of pack-objects on all promisor objects individually given, which takes care of deduplication and allows the resulting packfiles to respect flags such as --max-pack-size.

2018-08-09repack: refactor setup of pack-objects cmdLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-44/+55
A subsequent patch will teach repack to run pack-objects with some same and some different arguments if repacking of promisor objects is required. Refactor the setup of the pack-objects cmd so that setting up the arguments common to both is done in a function.

2018-08-06pull --rebase=<type>: allow single-letter abbreviations for the typeLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+3
Git for Windows' original 4aa8b8c8283 (Teach 'git pull' to handle --rebase=interactive, 2011-10-21) had support for the very convenient abbreviation git pull --rebase=i which was later lost when it was ported to the builtin `git pull`, and it was not introduced before the patch eventually made it into Git as f5eb87b98dd (pull: allow interactive rebase with --rebase=interactive, 2016-01-13). However, it is *really* a useful short hand for the occasional rebasing pull on branches that do not usually want to be rebased. So let's reintroduce this convenience, at long last.

2018-08-03parse-options: automatically infer PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELPLibravatar René Scharfe8-14/+10
Parseopt wraps argument help strings in a pair of angular brackets by default, to tell users that they need to replace it with an actual value. This is useful in most cases, because most option arguments are indeed single values of a certain type. The option PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP needs to be used in option definitions with arguments that have multiple parts or are literal strings. Stop adding these angular brackets if special characters are present, as they indicate that we don't deal with a simple placeholder. This simplifies the code a bit and makes defining special options slightly easier. Remove the flag PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP in the cases where the new and more cautious handling suffices.

2018-08-03shortlog: correct option help for -wLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+4
Wrap the placeholders in the option help string for -w in pairs of angular brackets to document that users need to replace them with actual numbers. Use the flag PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP to prevent parseopt from adding another pair. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-03send-pack: specify --force-with-lease argument help explicitlyLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+3
Wrap each part of the argument help string in angular brackets to show that users need to replace them with actual values. Do that explicitly to balance the pairs nicely in the code and avoid confusing casual readers. Add the flag PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP to keep parseopt from adding another pair.
