2019-08-06revision: allow --end-of-options to end option parsingLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+7
There's currently no robust way to tell Git that a particular option is meant to be a revision, and not an option. So if you have a branch "refs/heads/--foo", you cannot just say: git rev-list --foo You can say: git rev-list refs/heads/--foo But that breaks down if you don't know the refname, and in particular if you're a script passing along a value from elsewhere. In most programs, you can use "--" to end option parsing, like this: some-prog -- "$revision" But that doesn't work for the revision parser, because "--" is already meaningful there: it separates revisions from pathspecs. So we need some other marker to separate options from revisions. This patch introduces "--end-of-options", which serves that purpose: git rev-list --oneline --end-of-options "$revision" will work regardless of what's in "$revision" (well, if you say "--" it may fail, but it won't do something dangerous, like triggering an unexpected option). The name is verbose, but that's probably a good thing; this is meant to be used for scripted invocations where readability is more important than terseness. One alternative would be to introduce an explicit option to mark a revision, like: git rev-list --oneline --revision="$revision" That's slightly _more_ informative than this commit (because it makes even something silly like "--" unambiguous). But the pattern of using a separator like "--" is well established in git and in other commands, and it makes some scripting tasks simpler like: git rev-list --end-of-options "$@" There's no documentation in this patch, because it will make sense to describe the feature once it is available everywhere (and support will be added in further patches).

2019-07-01check_everything_connected: assume alternate ref tips are validLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+29
When we receive a remote ref update to sha1 "X", we want to check that we have all of the objects needed by "X". We can assume that our repository is not currently corrupted, and therefore if we have a ref pointing at "Y", we have all of its objects. So we can stop our traversal from "X" as soon as we hit "Y". If we make the same non-corruption assumption about any repositories we use to store alternates, then we can also use their ref tips to shorten the traversal. This is especially useful when cloning with "--reference", as we otherwise do not have any local refs to check against, and have to traverse the whole history, even though the other side may have sent us few or no objects. Here are results for the included perf test (which shows off more or less the maximal savings, getting one new commit and sharing the whole history): Test HEAD^ HEAD -------------------------------------------------------------------- [on git.git] 5600.3: clone --reference 2.94(2.86+0.08) 0.09(0.08+0.01) -96.9% [on linux.git] 5600.3: clone --reference 45.74(45.34+0.41) 0.36(0.30+0.08) -99.2% Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2019-05-28revision: keep topo-walk free of unintersting commitsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+3
When updating the topo-order walk in b454241 (revision.c: generation-based topo-order algorithm, 2018-11-01), the logic was a huge rewrite of the walk logic. In that massive change, we accidentally included the UNINTERESTING commits in expand_topo_walk(). This means that a simple query like git rev-list --topo-order HEAD~1..HEAD will expand the topo walk for all commits reachable from HEAD, and not just one commit. This change should speed up these cases, but there is still a need for corrected commit-date for some A..B queries.

2019-05-28revision: use generation for A..B --topo-order queriesLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+3
If a commit-graph exists with computed generation numbers, then a 'git rev-list --topo-order -n <N> <rev>' query will use those generation numbers to reduce the number of commits walked before writing N commits. One caveat put in b454241 (revision.c: generation-based topo-order algorithm, 2018-11-01) was to not enable the new algorithm for queries with a revision range "A..B". The logic was placed to walk from "A" and mark those commits as uninteresting, but the performance was actually worse than the existing logic in some cases. The root cause of this performance degradation is that generation numbers _increase_ the number of commits we walk relative to the existing heuristic of walking by commit date. While generation numbers actually guarantee that the algorithm is correct, the existing logic is very rarely wrong and that added requirement is not worth the cost. This motivates the planned "corrected commit date" to replace generation numbers in a future version of Git. The current change enables the logic to use whatever reachability index is currently in the commit-graph (generation numbers or corrected commit date). The limited flag in struct rev_info forces a full walk of the commit history (after discovering the A..B range). Previosuly, it is enabled whenever we see an uninteresting commit. We prevent enabling the parameter when we are planning to use the reachability index for a topo-order.

2019-04-04revision: use a prio_queue to hold rewritten parentsLibravatar Jeff King1-22/+36
This patch fixes a quadratic list insertion in rewrite_one() when pathspec limiting is combined with --parents. What happens is something like this: 1. We see that some commit X touches the path, so we try to rewrite its parents. 2. rewrite_one() loops forever, rewriting parents, until it finds a relevant parent (or hits the root and decides there are none). The heavy lifting is done by process_parent(), which uses try_to_simplify_commit() to drop parents. 3. process_parent() puts any intermediate parents into the &revs->commits list, inserting by commit date as usual. So if commit X is recent, and then there's a large chunk of history that doesn't touch the path, we may add a lot of commits to &revs->commits. And insertion by commit date is O(n) in the worst case, making the whole thing quadratic. We tried to deal with this long ago in fce87ae538 (Fix quadratic performance in rewrite_one., 2008-07-12). In that scheme, we cache the oldest commit in the list; if the new commit to be added is older, we can start our linear traversal there. This often works well in practice because parents are older than their descendants, and thus we tend to add older and older commits as we traverse. But this isn't guaranteed, and in fact there's a simple case where it is not: merges. Imagine we look at the first parent of a merge and see a very old commit (let's say 3 years old). And on the second parent, as we go back 3 years in history, we might have many commits. That one first-parent commit has polluted our oldest-commit cache; it will remain the oldest while we traverse a huge chunk of history, during which we have to fall back to the slow, linear method of adding to the list. Naively, one might imagine that instead of caching the oldest commit, we'd start at the last-added one. But that just makes some cases faster while making others slower (and indeed, while it made a real-world test case much faster, it does quite poorly in the perf test include here). Fundamentally, these are just heuristics; our worst case is still quadratic, and some cases will approach that. Instead, let's use a data structure with better worst-case performance. Swapping out revs->commits for something else would have repercussions all over the code base, but we can take advantage of one fact: for the rewrite_one() case, nobody actually needs to see those commits in revs->commits until we've finished generating the whole list. That leaves us with two obvious options: 1. We can generate the list _unordered_, which should be O(n), and then sort it afterwards, which would be O(n log n) total. This is "sort-after" below. 2. We can insert the commits into a separate data structure, like a priority queue. This is "prio-queue" below. I expected that sort-after would be the fastest (since it saves us the extra step of copying the items into the linked list), but surprisingly the prio-queue seems to be a bit faster. Here are timings for the new p0001.6 for all three techniques across a few repositories, as compared to master: master cache-last sort-after prio-queue -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GIT_PERF_REPO=git.git 0.52(0.50+0.02) 0.53(0.51+0.02) +1.9% 0.37(0.33+0.03) -28.8% 0.37(0.32+0.04) -28.8% GIT_PERF_REPO=linux.git 20.81(20.74+0.07) 20.31(20.24+0.07) -2.4% 0.94(0.86+0.07) -95.5% 0.91(0.82+0.09) -95.6% GIT_PERF_REPO=llvm-project.git 83.67(83.57+0.09) 4.23(4.15+0.08) -94.9% 3.21(3.15+0.06) -96.2% 2.98(2.91+0.07) -96.4% A few items to note: - the cache-list tweak does improve the bad case for llvm-project.git that started my digging into this problem. But it performs terribly on linux.git, barely helping at all. - the sort-after and prio-queue techniques work well. They approach the timing for running without --parents at all, which is what you'd expect (see below for more data). - prio-queue just barely outperforms sort-after. As I said, I'm not really sure why this is the case, but it is. You can see it even more prominently in this real-world case on llvm-project.git: git rev-list --parents 07ef786652e7 -- llvm/test/CodeGen/Generic/bswap.ll where prio-queue routinely outperforms sort-after by about 7%. One guess is that the prio-queue may just be more efficient because it uses a compact array. There are three new perf tests: - "rev-list --parents" gives us a baseline for running with --parents. This isn't sped up meaningfully here, because the bad case is triggered only with simplification. But it's good to make sure we don't screw it up (now, or in the future). - "rev-list -- dummy" gives us a baseline for just traversing with pathspec limiting. This gives a lower bound for the next test (and it's also a good thing for us to be checking in general for regressions, since we don't seem to have any existing tests). - "rev-list --parents -- dummy" shows off the problem (and our fix) Here are the timings for those three on llvm-project.git, before and after the fix: Test master prio-queue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0001.3: rev-list --parents 2.24(2.12+0.12) 2.22(2.11+0.11) -0.9% 0001.5: rev-list -- dummy 2.89(2.82+0.07) 2.92(2.89+0.03) +1.0% 0001.6: rev-list --parents -- dummy 83.67(83.57+0.09) 2.98(2.91+0.07) -96.4% Changes in the first two are basically noise, and you can see we approach our lower bound in the final one. Note that we can't fully get rid of the list argument from process_parents(). Other callers do have lists, and it would be hard to convert them. They also don't seem to have this problem (probably because they actually remove items from the list as they loop, meaning it doesn't grow so large in the first place). So this basically just drops the "cache_ptr" parameter (which was used only by the one caller we're fixing here) and replaces it with a prio_queue. Callers are free to use either data structure, depending on what they're prepared to handle.

The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if rename or copy detection is active.

In contrast, for non-merge commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score to boot). In order to also provide original filenames for merge commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when renames are involved. This transforms the above output to: ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM desc.c desc.c desc.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM foo.sh bar.sh bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR fooey.c fuey.c phooey.c Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent.

2019-01-17revision: implement sparse algorithmLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-10/+128
When enumerating objects to place in a pack-file during 'git pack-objects --revs', we discover the "frontier" of commits that we care about and the boundary with commit we find uninteresting. From that point, we walk trees to discover which trees and blobs are uninteresting. Finally, we walk trees from the interesting commits to find the interesting objects that are placed in the pack. This commit introduces a new, "sparse" way to discover the uninteresting trees. We use the perspective of a single user trying to push their topic to a large repository. That user likely changed a very small fraction of the paths in their working directory, but we spend a lot of time walking all reachable trees. The way to switch the logic to work in this sparse way is to start caring about which paths introduce new trees. While it is not possible to generate a diff between the frontier boundary and all of the interesting commits, we can simulate that behavior by inspecting all of the root trees as a whole, then recursing down to the set of trees at each path. We already had taken the first step by passing an oidset to mark_trees_uninteresting_sparse(). We now create a dictionary whose keys are paths and values are oidsets. We consider the set of trees that appear at each path. While we inspect a tree, we add its subtrees to the oidsets corresponding to the tree entry's path. We also mark trees as UNINTERESTING if the tree we are parsing is UNINTERESTING. To actually improve the performance, we need to terminate our recursion. If the oidset contains only UNINTERESTING trees, then we do not continue the recursion. This avoids walking trees that are likely to not be reachable from interesting trees. If the oidset contains only interesting trees, then we will walk these trees in the final stage that collects the intersting objects to place in the pack. Thus, we only recurse if the oidset contains both interesting and UNINITERESTING trees. There are a few ways that this is not a universally better option. First, we can pack extra objects. If someone copies a subtree from one tree to another, the first tree will appear UNINTERESTING and we will not recurse to see that the subtree should also be UNINTERESTING. We will walk the new tree and see the subtree as a "new" object and add it to the pack. A test is modified to demonstrate this behavior and to verify that the new logic is being exercised. Second, we can have extra memory pressure. If instead of being a single user pushing a small topic we are a server sending new objects from across the entire working directory, then we will gain very little (the recursion will rarely terminate early) but will spend extra time maintaining the path-oidset dictionaries. Despite these potential drawbacks, the benefits of the algorithm are clear. By adding a counter to 'add_children_by_path' and 'mark_tree_contents_uninteresting', I measured the number of parsed trees for the two algorithms in a variety of repos. For git.git, I used the following input: v2.19.0 ^v2.19.0~10 Objects to pack: 550 Walked (old alg): 282 Walked (new alg): 130 For the Linux repo, I used the following input: v4.18 ^v4.18~10 Objects to pack: 518 Walked (old alg): 4,836 Walked (new alg): 188 The two repos above are rather "wide and flat" compared to other repos that I have used in the past. As a comparison, I tested an old topic branch in the Azure DevOps repo, which has a much deeper folder structure than the Linux repo. Objects to pack: 220 Walked (old alg): 22,804 Walked (new alg): 129 I used the number of walked trees the main metric above because it is consistent across multiple runs. When I ran my tests, the performance of the pack-objects command with the same options could change the end-to-end time by 10x depending on the file system being warm. However, by repeating the same test on repeat I could get more consistent timing results. The git.git and Linux tests were too fast overall (less than 0.5s) to measure an end-to-end difference. The Azure DevOps case was slow enough to see the time improve from 15s to 1s in the warm case. The cold case was 90s to 9s in my testing. These improvements will have even larger benefits in the super- large Windows repository. In our experiments, we see the "Enumerate objects" phase of pack-objects taking 60-80% of the end-to-end time of non-trivial pushes, taking longer than the network time to send the pack and the server time to verify the pack.

In preparation for a new algorithm that walks fewer trees when creating a pack from a set of revisions, create a method that takes an oidset of tree oids and marks reachable objects as UNINTERESTING. The current implementation uses the existing mark_tree_uninteresting to recursively walk the trees and blobs. This will walk the same number of trees as the old mechanism. To ensure that mark_tree_uninteresting walks the tree, we need to remove the UNINTERESTING flag before calling the method. This implementation will be replaced entirely in a later commit. There is one new assumption in this approach: we are also given the oids of the interesting trees. This implementation does not use those trees at the moment, but we will use them in a later rewrite of this method.

2019-01-15tree-walk: store object_id in a separate memberLibravatar brian m. carlson1-2/+2
When parsing a tree, we read the object ID directly out of the tree buffer. This is normally fine, but such an object ID cannot be used with oidcpy, which copies GIT_MAX_RAWSZ bytes, because if we are using SHA-1, there may not be that many bytes to copy. Instead, store the object ID in a separate struct member. Since we can no longer efficiently compute the path length, store that information as well in struct name_entry. Ensure we only copy the object ID into the new buffer if the path length is nonzero, as some callers will pass us an empty path with no object ID following it, and we will not want to read past the end of the buffer.

2018-12-28revision: use commit graph in get_reference()Libravatar Jonathan Tan1-1/+14
When fetching into a repository, a connectivity check is first made by check_exist_and_connected() in builtin/fetch.c that runs: git rev-list --objects --stdin --not --all --quiet <(list of objects) If the client repository has many refs, this command can be slow, regardless of the nature of the server repository or what is being fetched. A profiler reveals that most of the time is spent in setup_revisions() (approx. 60/63), and of the time spent in setup_revisions(), most of it is spent in parse_object() (approx. 49/60). This is because setup_revisions() parses the target of every ref (from "--all"), and parse_object() reads the buffer of the object. Reading the buffer is unnecessary if the repository has a commit graph and if the ref points to a commit (which is typically the case). This patch uses the commit graph wherever possible; on my computer, when I run the above command with a list of 1 object on a many-ref repository, I get a speedup from 1.8s to 1.0s.

2018-11-19tree-walk.c: make tree_entry_interesting() take an indexLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
In order to support :(attr) when matching pathspec on a tree, tree_entry_interesting() needs to take an index (because git_check_attr() needs it). This is the preparation step for it. This also makes it clearer what index we fall back to when looking up attributes during an unpack-trees operation: the source index. This also fixes revs->pruning.repo initialization that should have been done in 2abf350385 (revision.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index - 2018-09-21).

2018-11-02rev-list: handle flags for --indexed-objectsLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+9
When a traversal sees the --indexed-objects option, it adds all blobs and valid cache-trees from the index to the traversal using add_index_objects_to_pending(). But that function totally ignores its flags parameter! That means that doing: git rev-list --objects --indexed-objects and git rev-list --objects --not --indexed-objects produce the same output, because we ignore the UNINTERESTING flag when walking the index in the second example. Nobody noticed because this feature was added as a way for tools like repack to increase their coverage of reachable objects, meaning it would only be used like the first example above. But since it's user facing (and because the documentation describes it "as if the objects are listed on the command line"), we should make sure the negative case behaves sensibly.

2018-11-02revision.c: generation-based topo-order algorithmLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-5/+190
The current --topo-order algorithm requires walking all reachable commits up front, topo-sorting them, all before outputting the first value. This patch introduces a new algorithm which uses stored generation numbers to incrementally walk in topo-order, outputting commits as we go. This can dramatically reduce the computation time to write a fixed number of commits, such as when limiting with "-n <N>" or filling the first page of a pager. When running a command like 'git rev-list --topo-order HEAD', Git performed the following steps: 1. Run limit_list(), which parses all reachable commits, adds them to a linked list, and distributes UNINTERESTING flags. If all unprocessed commits are UNINTERESTING, then it may terminate without walking all reachable commits. This does not occur if we do not specify UNINTERESTING commits. 2. Run sort_in_topological_order(), which is an implementation of Kahn's algorithm. It first iterates through the entire set of important commits and computes the in-degree of each (plus one, as we use 'zero' as a special value here). Then, we walk the commits in priority order, adding them to the priority queue if and only if their in-degree is one. As we remove commits from this priority queue, we decrement the in-degree of their parents. 3. While we are peeling commits for output, get_revision_1() uses pop_commit on the full list of commits computed by sort_in_topological_order(). In the new algorithm, these three steps correspond to three different commit walks. We run these walks simultaneously, and advance each only as far as necessary to satisfy the requirements of the 'higher order' walk. We know when we can pause each walk by using generation numbers from the commit- graph feature. Recall that the generation number of a commit satisfies: * If the commit has at least one parent, then the generation number is one more than the maximum generation number among its parents. * If the commit has no parent, then the generation number is one. There are two special generation numbers: * GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY: this value is 0xffffffff and indicates that the commit is not stored in the commit-graph and the generation number was not previously calculated. * GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO: this value (0) is a special indicator to say that the commit-graph was generated by a version of Git that does not compute generation numbers (such as v2.18.0). Since we use generation_numbers_enabled() before using the new algorithm, we do not need to worry about GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO. However, the existence of GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY implies the following weaker statement than the usual we expect from generation numbers: If A and B are commits with generation numbers gen(A) and gen(B) and gen(A) < gen(B), then A cannot reach B. Thus, we will walk in each of our stages until the "maximum unexpanded generation number" is strictly lower than the generation number of a commit we are about to use. The walks are as follows: 1. EXPLORE: using the explore_queue priority queue (ordered by maximizing the generation number), parse each reachable commit until all commits in the queue have generation number strictly lower than needed. During this walk, update the UNINTERESTING flags as necessary. 2. INDEGREE: using the indegree_queue priority queue (ordered by maximizing the generation number), add one to the in- degree of each parent for each commit that is walked. Since we walk in order of decreasing generation number, we know that discovering an in-degree value of 0 means the value for that commit was not initialized, so should be initialized to two. (Recall that in-degree value "1" is what we use to say a commit is ready for output.) As we iterate the parents of a commit during this walk, ensure the EXPLORE walk has walked beyond their generation numbers. 3. TOPO: using the topo_queue priority queue (ordered based on the sort_order given, which could be commit-date, author- date, or typical topo-order which treats the queue as a LIFO stack), remove a commit from the queue and decrement the in-degree of each parent. If a parent has an in-degree of one, then we add it to the topo_queue. Before we decrement the in-degree, however, ensure the INDEGREE walk has walked beyond that generation number. The implementations of these walks are in the following methods: * explore_walk_step and explore_to_depth * indegree_walk_step and compute_indegrees_to_depth * next_topo_commit and expand_topo_walk These methods have some patterns that may seem strange at first, but they are probably carry-overs from their equivalents in limit_list and sort_in_topological_order. One thing that is missing from this implementation is a proper way to stop walking when the entire queue is UNINTERESTING, so this implementation is not enabled by comparisions, such as in 'git rev-list --topo-order A..B'. This can be updated in the future. In my local testing, I used the following Git commands on the Linux repository in three modes: HEAD~1 with no commit-graph, HEAD~1 with a commit-graph, and HEAD with a commit-graph. This allows comparing the benefits we get from parsing commits from the commit-graph and then again the benefits we get by restricting the set of commits we walk. Test: git rev-list --topo-order -100 HEAD HEAD~1, no commit-graph: 6.80 s HEAD~1, w/ commit-graph: 0.77 s HEAD, w/ commit-graph: 0.02 s Test: git rev-list --topo-order -100 HEAD -- tools HEAD~1, no commit-graph: 9.63 s HEAD~1, w/ commit-graph: 6.06 s HEAD, w/ commit-graph: 0.06 s This speedup is due to a few things. First, the new generation- number-enabled algorithm walks commits on order of the number of results output (subject to some branching structure expectations). Since we limit to 100 results, we are running a query similar to filling a single page of results. Second, when specifying a path, we must parse the root tree object for each commit we walk. The previous benefits from the commit-graph are entirely from reading the commit-graph instead of parsing commits. Since we need to parse trees for the same number of commits as before, we slow down significantly from the non-path-based query. For the test above, I specifically selected a path that is changed frequently, including by merge commits. A less-frequently-changed path (such as 'README') has similar end-to-end time since we need to walk the same number of commits (before determining we do not have 100 hits). However, get the benefit that the output is presented to the user as it is discovered, much the same as a normal 'git log' command (no '--topo-order'). This is an improved user experience, even if the command has the same runtime.

2018-11-02commit/revisions: bookkeeping before refactoringLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-8/+10
There are a few things that need to move around a little before making a big refactoring in the topo-order logic: 1. We need access to record_author_date() and compare_commits_by_author_date() in revision.c. These are used currently by sort_in_topological_order() in commit.c. 2. Moving these methods to commit.h requires adding an author_date_slab declaration to commit.h. Consumers will need their own implementation. 3. The add_parents_to_list() method in revision.c performs logic around the UNINTERESTING flag and other special cases depending on the struct rev_info. Allow this method to ignore a NULL 'list' parameter, as we will not be populating the list for our walk. Also rename the method to the slightly more generic name process_parents() to make clear that this method does more than add to a list (and no list is required anymore).

2018-11-02revision.c: begin refactoring --topo-order logicLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-4/+38
When running 'git rev-list --topo-order' and its kin, the topo_order setting in struct rev_info implies the limited setting. This means that the following things happen during prepare_revision_walk(): * revs->limited implies we run limit_list() to walk the entire reachable set. There are some short-cuts here, such as if we perform a range query like 'git rev-list COMPARE..HEAD' and we can stop limit_list() when all queued commits are uninteresting. * revs->topo_order implies we run sort_in_topological_order(). See the implementation of that method in commit.c. It implies that the full set of commits to order is in the given commit_list. These two methods imply that a 'git rev-list --topo-order HEAD' command must walk the entire reachable set of commits _twice_ before returning a single result. If we have a commit-graph file with generation numbers computed, then there is a better way. This patch introduces some necessary logic redirection when we are in this situation. In v2.18.0, the commit-graph file contains zero-valued bytes in the positions where the generation number is stored in v2.19.0 and later. Thus, we use generation_numbers_enabled() to check if the commit-graph is available and has non-zero generation numbers. When setting revs->limited only because revs->topo_order is true, only do so if generation numbers are not available. There is no reason to use the new logic as it will behave similarly when all generation numbers are INFINITY or ZERO. In prepare_revision_walk(), if we have revs->topo_order but not revs->limited, then we trigger the new logic. It breaks the logic into three pieces, to fit with the existing framework: 1. init_topo_walk() fills a new struct topo_walk_info in the rev_info struct. We use the presence of this struct as a signal to use the new methods during our walk. In this patch, this method simply calls limit_list() and sort_in_topological_order(). In the future, this method will set up a new data structure to perform that logic in-line. 2. next_topo_commit() provides get_revision_1() with the next topo- ordered commit in the list. Currently, this simply pops the commit from revs->commits. 3. expand_topo_walk() provides get_revision_1() with a way to signal walking beyond the latest commit. Currently, this calls add_parents_to_list() exactly like the old logic. While this commit presents method redirection for performing the exact same logic as before, it allows the next commit to focus only on the new logic.

Extra logic outside of revision.c is needed because fetch_if_missing must be turned on before revision.c sees the option or it will BUG-crash.

2018-10-07revision: mark non-user-given objects insteadLibravatar Matthew DeVore1-1/+0
Currently, list-objects.c incorrectly treats all root trees of commits as USER_GIVEN. Also, it would be easier to mark objects that are non-user-given instead of user-given, since the places in the code where we access an object through a reference are more obvious than the places where we access an object that was given by the user. Resolve these two problems by introducing a flag NOT_USER_GIVEN that marks blobs and trees that are non-user-given, replacing USER_GIVEN. (Only blobs and trees are marked because this mark is only used when filtering objects, and filtering of other types of objects is not supported yet.) This fixes a bug in that git rev-list behaved differently from git pack-objects. pack-objects would *not* filter objects given explicitly on the command line and rev-list would filter. This was because the two commands used a different function to add objects to the rev_info struct. This seems to have been an oversight, and pack-objects has the correct behavior, so I added a test to make sure that rev-list now behaves properly.
