The trick is to consider the time-based filtering a limiter, the same way
we do for release ranges.
That means that the time-based filtering runs _before_ the topological
sorting, which makes it meaningful again. It also simplifies the code
logic.
This makes "gitk" useful with time ranges.

There were two bugs in there:
- if the range didn't end up working, we restored the '.' character in
the wrong place.
- an empty end-of-range should be interpreted as HEAD.
See rev-parse.c for the reference implementation of this.

The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that
object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it.
However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for
git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight.
So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to
disable it, and use it in git-rev-list.
Before:
$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l
12.28user 0.29system 0:12.57elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

0inputs+0outputs (0major+18509minor)pagefaults 0swaps
59124
and note how the number of pages touched by git-rev-list for this
particular object list has shrunk from 26,718 (104 MB) to 18,509 (72 MB).
Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still
clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time),
but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.

This avoids keeping tree entries around, and free's them as it traverses
the list. This avoids building up a huge memory footprint just for these
small but very common allocations.
Before:
$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l

0inputs+0outputs (0major+26718minor)pagefaults 0swaps
59124
Note how the minor fault numbers - which ends up being how many pages we
needed to map - go down from 42934 (167 MB) to 26718 (104 MB). That is:
Before:
42934 minor pagefaults
After:
26718 minor pagefaults
This is all in _addition_ to the previous fixes. It used to be
~48,000 pagefaults.
That's still a honking big memory footprint, but it's about half of what
it was just a day or two ago (and this is the object list for a pretty big
update - almost 60,000 objects. Smaller updates need less memory).

The logic to calculate the full object list used to be very inter-twined
with the logic that looked up the commits.
For no good reason - it's actually a lot simpler to just do that logic
as a separate pass.
This improves performance a bit, and uses slightly less memory in my
tests, but more importantly it makes the code simpler to work with and
follow what it does.
The performance win is less than I had hoped for, but I get:
Before:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l
13.64user 0.42system 0:14.13elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

0inputs+0outputs (0major+42684minor)pagefaults 0swaps
58945
ie it improved by 2 seconds, and took a 5000+ fewer pages (hey, that's
20MB out of 174MB to go). And got the same number of objects (in theory,
the more expensive one might find some more shared objects to avoid. In
practice it obviously doesn't).
I know how to make it use _lots_ less memory, which will probably speed it
up. But that's for another time, and I'd prefer to see this go in first.

As pointed out on the list, git-rev-list can use a lot of memory.
One low-hanging fruit is to free the commit buffer for commits that we
parse. By default, parse_commit() will save away the buffer, since a lot
of cases do want it, and re-reading it continually would be unnecessary.
However, in many cases the buffer isn't actually necessary and saving it
just wastes memory.
We could just free the buffer ourselves, but especially in git-rev-list,
we actually end up using the helper functions that automatically add
parent commits to the commit lists, so we don't actually control the
commit parsing directly.
Instead, just make this behaviour of "parse_commit()" a global flag.
Maybe this is a bit tasteless, but it's very simple, and it makes a
noticable difference in memory usage.
Before the change:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list v2.6.12..HEAD > /dev/null
0.26user 0.02system 0:00.28elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

0inputs+0outputs (0major+2433minor)pagefaults 0swaps
note how the minor faults have decreased from 3714 pages to 2433 pages.
That's all due to the fewer anonymous pages allocated to hold the comment
buffers and their metadata.

Recent changes in git have broken cg-log. git-rev-list no longer
prints "commit" in front of commit hashes. It turn out a local
"prefix" variable in main() shadows a file-scoped "prefix" variable.
The patch removed the local "prefix" variable since its value is never
used (in the intended way, that is). The call to
setup_git_directory() is kept since it has useful side effects.
The file-scoped "prefix" variable is renamed to "commit_prefix" just
in case someone reintroduces "prefix" to hold the return value of
setup_git_directory().

This corner-case was triggered by a kernel commit that was not in date
order, due to a misconfigured time zone that made the commit appear three
hours older than it was.
That caused git-rev-list to traverse the commit tree in a non-obvious
order, and made it parse several of the _parents_ of the misplaced commit
before it actually parsed the commit itself. That's fine, but it meant
that the grandparents of the commit didn't get marked uninteresting,
because they had been reached through an "interesting" branch.
The reason was that "mark_parents_uninteresting()" (which is supposed to
mark all existing parents as being uninteresting - duh) didn't actually
traverse more than one level down the parent chain.
NORMALLY this is fine, since with the date-based traversal order,
grandparents won't ever even have been looked at before their parents (so
traversing the chain down isn't needed, because the next time around when
we pick out the parent we'll mark _its_ parents uninteresting), but since
we'd gotten out of order, we'd already seen the parent and thus never got
around to mark the grandparents.
Anyway, the fix is simple. Just traverse parent chains recursively.
Normally the chain won't even exist (since the parent hasn't been parsed
yet), so this is not actually going to trigger except in this strange
corner-case.
Add a comment to the simple one-liner, since this was a bit subtle, and I
had to really think things through to understand how it could happen.

We'll mark all the trees at the edges (as deep as we had to go to
realize that we have all the commits needed) as uninteresting.
Otherwise we'll occasionally list a lot of objects that were actually
available at the edge in a commit that we just never ended up parsing
because we could determine early that we had all relevant commits.
NOTE! The object listing is still just a _heuristic_. It's guaranteed
to list a superset of the actual new objects, but there might be the
occasional old object in the list, just because the commit that
referenced it was much further back in the history.
For example, let's say that a recent commit is a revert of part of the
tree to much older state: since we didn't walk _that_ far back in the
commit history tree to list the commits necessary, git-rev-tree will
never have marked the old objects uninteresting, and we'll end up
listing them as "new".
That's ok.

When we allow a tag object in place of a commit object, we only
dereferenced the given tag once, which causes a tag that points at a tag
that points at a commit to be rejected. Instead, dereference tag
repeatedly until we get a non-tag.
This patch makes change to two functions:
- commit.c::lookup_commit_reference() is used by merge-base,
rev-tree and rev-parse to convert user supplied SHA1 to that of
a commit.
- rev-list uses its own get_commit_reference() to do the same.
Dereferencing tags this way helps both of these uses.

That's what we should have done in the first place, since it not only
avoids another unnecessary flag, it also protects the commits from
showing up as duplicates later when they show up as parents of another
commit (in the pop_most_recent_commit() path).
This will hopefully also fix --topo-sort.

..and move the DUPCHECK to rev-list.c since both the merge-order and the
upcoming topo-sort get confused by dups.
|
|
Jon wants the commits in a different order for merge-order.
|
|
Same argument order, same return type. This allows us to use a function
pointer to choose one over the other.
|
|
Not only is it unnecessary, it incorrectly allows extraneous characters
at the end of the argument.
Junio noticed the --merge-order thing, and Jon points out that if we fix
that one, we should fix --show-breaks too.
|
|
We didn't sort the refs by date, so if you had multiple refs, the end
result would not be properly sorted.
|
|
We'd rather get the revisions in a slow but timely manner than
have to wait for them.
|
|
More infrastructure to do efficient incremental packs.
|
|
And make git-rev-list just silently ignore non-commit refs if we're not
asking for all objects.
|
|
Mainly making a lot of local functions and variables be marked "static",
but there was a "zero as NULL" warning in there too.
|
|
Now you can give git-rev-list tags, trees and blobs, and it will do the
proper reachability for them all. Knock wood.
Of course, you need the "--objects" flag to do anything but plain
commits.
|
|
We want to be able to just say "give a difference between these
objects", rather than limiting it to commits only. This isn't there
yet, but it sets things up to be a bit easier.
|
|
Also move the common implementation of parsing the --pretty argument
format into commit.c rather than having duplicates in diff-tree.c and
rev-list.c.
|
|
The name isn't unique, it's just the first name that object is reached
through, so it's really nothing more than a hint.
|
|
When you do
git-rev-list --objects $(git-rev-parse HEAD^..HEAD)
it now lists not only the "commit difference" between the parent of HEAD
and HEAD itself (which is normally just the parent, but in the case of a
merge will be all the newly merged commits), but also all the new tree
and blob objects that weren't in the original.
NOTE! It doesn't walk all the way to the root, so it doesn't do a full
object search in the full old history. Instead, it will only look as
far back in the history as it needs to resolve the commits. Thus, if
the commit reverts a blob (or tree) back to a state much further back in
history, we may end up listing some blobs (or trees) as "new" even
though they exist further back.
Regardless, the list of objects will be a superset (usually exact) list
of objects needed to go from the beginning commit to ending commit.
As a particularly obvious special case,
git-rev-list --objects HEAD
will end up listing every single object that is reachable from the HEAD
commit.
Side note: the objects are sorted by "recency", with commits first.

This is useful for doing binary searching for problems. You start with
a known good and known bad point, and you then test the "halfway" point
in between:
git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good
and you test that. If that one tests good, you now still have a known
bad case, but two known good points, and you can bisect again:
git-rev-list --bisect bad ^good1 ^good2
and test that point. If that point is bad, you now use that as your
known-bad starting point:
git-rev-list --bisect newbad ^good1 ^good2
and basically at every iteration you shrink your list of commits by
half: you're binary searching for the point where the troubles started,
even though there isn't a nice linear ordering.

This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.
The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.
With this patch a graph like this:
a4 ---
| \ \
| b4 |
|/ | |
a3 | |
| | |
a2 | |
| | c3
| | |
| | c2
| b3 |
| | /|
| b2 |
| | c1
| | /
| b1
a1 |
| |
a0 |
| /
root
Sorts like this:
= a4
| c3
| c2
| c1
^ b4
| b3
| b2
| b1
^ a3
| a2
| a1
| a0
= root
Instead of this:
= a4
| c3
^ b4
| a3
^ c2
^ b3
^ a2
^ b2
^ c1
^ a1
^ b1
^ a0
= root
A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:
cd t
./t6000-rev-list.sh
cd trash
cat actual-default-order
cat actual-merge-order
The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.
This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm.
This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting
algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated
with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8da45f10fe9a0c3cf571600f55ead2ce.
This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c.
(see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c)

You can ask to print out "raw" format (full headers, full body),
"medium" format (author and date, full body) or "short" format
(author only, condensed body).
Use "git-rev-list --pretty=short HEAD | less -S" for an example.
|
|
This makes git-rev-list use the same command line syntax to mark the
commits as git-rev-tree does, and instead of just allowing a start and
end commit, it allows an arbitrary list of "interesting" and "uninteresting"
commits.
For example, imagine that you had three branches (a, b and c) that you
are interested in, but you don't want to see stuff that already exists
in another persons three releases (x, y and z). You can do
git-rev-list a b c ^x ^y ^z
(order doesn't matter, btw - feel free to put the uninteresting ones
first or otherwise swithc them around), and it will show all the
commits that are reachable from a/b/c but not reachable from x/y/z.
The old syntax "git-rev-list start end" would not be written as
"git-rev-list start ^end", or "git-rev-list ^end start".
There's no limit to the number of heads you can specify (unlike
git-rev-tree, which can handle a maximum of 16 heads).
|
|
Ok, now I'm happier.
|
|
Functions that do many things are bad. We should basically
just parse the arguments in main(). We're not quite there
yet, but it's a step in the right direction.
|
|
That pretty-prints the resulting commit messages, so
git-rev-list --pretty HEAD v2.6.12-rc5 | less -S
basically ends up being a log of the changes between -rc5
and current head.
It uses the pretty-printing helper function I just extracted
from diff-tree.c.
|
|
It makes rev-list show the list of parents, the same
way git-rev-tree does (but without the expense).
|
|
This mean sthat you can give a beginning/end pair to git-rev-list,
and it will show all entries that are reachable from the beginning
but not the end.
For example
git-rev-list v2.6.12-rc5 v2.6.12-rc4
shows all commits that are in -rc5 but are not in -rc4.
