2005-09-17[PATCH] Fix "git-rev-list" revision range parsingLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+3
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. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-16[PATCH] Avoid building object ref lists when not neededLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+1
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+26718minor)pagefaults 0swaps 59124 After this change: $ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l 10.33user 0.18system 0:10.54elapsed 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.

2005-09-16[PATCH] Improve git-rev-list memory usage furtherLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+10
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 11.65user 0.38system 0:12.65elapsed 95%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+42934minor)pagefaults 0swaps 59124 After: $ /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+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). Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-15[PATCH] Re-organize "git-rev-list --objects" logicLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-25/+15
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+47947minor)pagefaults 0swaps 58945 After: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l 11.80user 0.36system 0:12.16elapsed 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.

2005-09-15[PATCH] Avoid wasting memory in git-rev-listLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+2
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+3714minor)pagefaults 0swaps after the change: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list v2.6.12..HEAD > /dev/null 0.26user 0.00system 0:00.27elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+2433minor)pagefaults 0swaps note how the minor faults have decreased from 3714 pages to 2433 pages.

2005-08-24[PATCH] Fix "prefix" mixup in git-rev-listLibravatar Pavel Roskin1-8/+8
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().

2005-07-29[PATCH] Fix interesting git-rev-list corner caseLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+11
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.

2005-07-23Be more aggressive about marking trees uninterestingLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+25
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.
2005-07-11[PATCH] Dereference tag repeatedly until we get a non-tag.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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.

2005-06-24git-rev-list: add option to list all objects (not just commits)Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+91
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.

2005-06-17git-rev-list: add "--bisect" flag to find the "halfway" pointLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+80
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.

2005-06-06[PATCH] Modify git-rev-list to linearise the commit history in merge order.Libravatar jon@blackcubes.dyndns.org1-14/+67
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) This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.

2005-06-05pretty_print_commit: add different formatsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-10/+20
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.
2005-06-04git-rev-list: allow arbitrary head selections, use git-rev-tree syntaxLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-24/+21
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).

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.

2005-05-30git-rev-list: use proper lazy reachability analysisLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-5/+50
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.
2005-05-25git-rev-list: add "end" commit and "--header" flagLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-15/+42
The "end" commit is just faking it right now, it's sorting things purely by date, so this is _not_ a reachability analysis. Some day. The "--header" flag causes the commit message to be printed out, with a NUL character separator after it for parseability. This allows you to do things like use "grep -z" to grep for certain authors etc.
