2013-06-11log: --author-date-orderLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+74
Sometimes people would want to view the commits in parallel histories in the order of author dates, not committer dates. Teach "topo-order" sort machinery to do so, using a commit-info slab to record the author dates of each commit, and prio-queue to sort them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-11sort-in-topological-order: use prio-queueLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-31/+44
Use the prio-queue data structure to implement a priority queue of commits sorted by committer date, when handling --date-order. The structure can also be used as a simple LIFO stack, which is a good match for --topo-order processing. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-11toposort: rename "lifo" fieldLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+8
The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are. When traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E": A----B----C \ D----E we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done. In some applications, however, we would further want to control how these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains are shown. Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output). The "lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used to control this behaviour. We start the traversal by knowing two commits, C and E. While keeping in mind that we also need to inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and record that B needs to be inspected. By structuring the "work to be done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next, before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to inspect, e.g. E. When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together. When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics. After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B. The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the behaviour _means_. Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and update the existing code. The mechanical replacement rule is: "lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE" "lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER" Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-06-07commit-slab: introduce a macro to define a slab for new typeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-58/+14
Introduce a header file to define a macro that can define the struct type, initializer, accessor and cleanup functions to manage a commit slab. Update the "indegree" topological sort facility using it. To associate 32 flag bits with each commit, you can write: define_commit_slab(flag32, uint32); to declare "struct flag32" type, define an instance of it with struct flag32 flags; and initialize it by calling init_flag32(&flags); After that, a call to flag32_at() function uint32 *fp = flag32_at(&flags, commit); will return a pointer pointing at a uint32 for that commit. Once you are done with these flags, clean them up with clear_flag32(&flags); Callers that cannot hard-code how wide the data to be associated with the commit be at compile time can use the "_with_stride" variant to initialize the slab. Suppose you want to give one bit per existing ref, and paint commits down to find which refs are descendants of each commit. Saying typedef uint32 bits320[5]; define_commit_slab(flagbits, bits320); at compile time will still limit your code with hard-coded limit, because you may find that you have more than 320 refs at runtime. The code can declare a commit slab "struct flagbits" like this instead: define_commit_slab(flagbits, unsigned char); struct flagbits flags; and initialize it by: nrefs = ... count number of refs ... init_flagbits_with_stride(&flags, (nrefs + 7) / 8); so that unsigned char *fp = flagbits_at(&flags, commit); will return a pointer pointing at an array of 40 "unsigned char"s associated with the commit, once you figure out nrefs is 320 at runtime.

2013-04-13commit-slab: avoid large reallocLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-20/+42
Instead of using a single "slab" and keep reallocating it as we find that we need to deal with commits with larger values of commit->index, make a "slab" an array of many "slab_piece"s. Each access may need two levels of indirections, but we only need to reallocate the first level array of pointers when we have to grow the table this way.

2013-04-13commit: allow associating auxiliary info on-demandLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+50
The "indegree" field in the commit object is only used while sorting a list of commits in topological order, and wasting memory otherwise. We would prefer to shrink the size of individual commit objects, which we may have to hold thousands of in-core. We could eject "indegree" field out from the commit object and represent it as a dynamic table based on the decoration infrastructure, but the decoration is meant for sparse annotation and is not a good match. Instead, let's try a different approach. - Assign an integer (commit->index) to each commit we keep in-core (reuse the space of "indegree" field for it); - When running the topological sort, allocate an array of integers in bulk (called "slab"), use the commit->index as an index into this array, and store the "indegree" information there. This does _not_ reduce the memory footprint of a commit object, but the commit->index can be used as the index to dynamically associate commits with other kinds of information as needed.

When refactoring the merge-base computation to reduce the pairwise O(n*(n-1)) traversals to parallel O(n) traversals, the code forgot that timestamp based heuristics needs each commit to have been parsed. This caused an empty "git pull" to spend cycles, traversing the history all the way down to 0 (because an unparsed commit object has 0 timestamp, and any other commit object with positive timestamp will be processed for its parents, all getting parsed), only to come up with a merge message to be used.

2012-08-30get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallelLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-21/+58
The get_merge_bases_many() function reduces the result returned by the merge_bases_many() function, which is a set of possible merge bases, by excluding commits that can be reached from other commits. We used to do N*(N-1) traversals for this, but we can check if one commit reaches which other (N-1) commits by a single traversal, and repeat it for all the candidates to find the answer.

Introduce a new helper function paint_down_to_common() that takes the same parameters as merge_bases_many(), but without the first optimization of not painting anything when "one" is one of the "twos" (or vice versa), and the last clean-up of removing the common ancestor that is known to be an ancestor of another common one. This way, the caller of the new function could tell if "one" is reachable from any of the "twos" by simply looking at the flag bits of "one". If (and only if) it is painted in PARENT2, it is reachable from one of the "twos". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-08-28in_merge_bases(): omit unnecessary redundant common ancestor reductionLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+4
The function get_merge_bases() needs to postprocess the result from merge_bases_many() in order to make sure none of the commit is a true ancestor of another commit, which is expensive. However, when checking if a commit is an ancestor of another commit, we only need to see if the commit is a common ancestor between the two, and do not have to care if other common ancestors merge_bases_many() finds are true merge bases or an ancestor of another merge base.

2012-04-11revision: insert unsorted, then sort in prepare_revision_walk()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+15
Speed up prepare_revision_walk() by adding commits without sorting to the commit_list and at the end sort the list in one go. Thanks to mergesort() working behind the scenes, this is a lot faster for large numbers of commits than the current insert sort. Also introduce and use commit_list_reverse(), to keep the ordering of commits sharing the same commit date unchanged. That's because commit_list_insert_by_date() sorts commits with descending date, but adds later entries with the same date entries last, while commit_list_insert() always inserts entries at the top. The following commit_list_sort_by_date() keeps the order of entries sharing the same date. Jeff's test case, in a repo with lots of refs, was to run: # make a new commit on top of HEAD, but not yet referenced sha1=`git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -p HEAD </dev/null` # now do the same "connected" test that receive-pack would do git rev-list --objects $sha1 --not --all With a git.git with a ref for each revision, master needs (best of five): real 0m2.210s user 0m2.188s sys 0m0.016s And with this patch: real 0m0.480s user 0m0.456s sys 0m0.020s Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Current implementation sees NUL as terminator. If users give a message with NUL byte in it (e.g. editor set to save as UTF-16), the new commit message will have NULs.

If we place it at the end of the log message, we would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block with an option. - Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message). - The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature block would look like. - When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit. A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this: $ git cat-file commit HEAD tree 3cd71d90e3db4136e5260ab54599791c4f883b9d parent b87755351a47b09cb27d6913e6e0e17e6254a4d4 author Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1317862251 -0700 committer Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1317862251 -0700 gpgsig -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJOjPtrAAoJELC16IaWr+bL4TMP/RSe2Y/jYnCkds9unO5JEnfG ... =dt98 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- foo but "git log" (unless you ask for it with --pretty=raw) output is not cluttered with the signature information.

2011-11-09commit: teach --amend to carry forward extra headersLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+66
After running "git pull $there for-linus" to merge a signed tag, the integrator may need to amend the resulting merge commit to fix typoes in it. Teach --amend option to read the existing extra headers, and carry them forward. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-11-09commit: copy merged signed tags to headers of merge commitLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+92
Now MERGE_HEAD records the tag objects without peeling, we could record the result of manual conflict resolution via "git commit" without losing the tag information. Introduce a new "mergetag" multi-line header field to the commit object, and use it to store the entire contents of each signed tag merged. A commit header that has a multi-line payload begins with the header tag (e.g. "mergetag" in this case), SP, the first line of payload, LF, and all the remaining lines have a SP inserted at the beginning. In hindsight, it would have been better to make "merge --continue" as the way to continue from such an interrupted merge, not "commit", but this is a backward compatibility baggage we would need to carry around for now.

2011-11-08merge: make usage of commit->util more extensibleLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+19
The merge-recursive code uses the commit->util field directly to annotate the commit objects given from the command line, i.e. the remote heads to be merged, with a single string to be used to describe it in its trace messages and conflict markers. Correct this short-signtedness by redefining the field to be a pointer to a structure "struct merge_remote_desc" that later enhancements can add more information. Store the original objects we were told to merge in a field "obj" in this struct, so that we can recover the tag we were told to merge. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
