2021-07-29add: ignore outside the sparse-checkout in refresh()Libravatar Derrick Stolee1-5/+1
Since b243012 (refresh_index(): add flag to ignore SKIP_WORKTREE entries, 2021-04-08), 'git add --refresh <path>' will output a warning message when the path is outside the sparse-checkout definition. The implementation of this warning happened in parallel with the sparse-index work to add ensure_full_index() calls throughout the codebase. Update this loop to have the proper logic that checks to see if the pathspec is outside the sparse-checkout definition. This avoids the need to expand the sparse directory entry and determine if the path is tracked, untracked, or ignored. We simply avoid updating the stat() information because there isn't even an entry that matches the path!

2021-07-29pathspec: stop calling ensure_full_indexLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-4/+3
The add_pathspec_matches_against_index() focuses on matching a pathspec to file entries in the index. This already works correctly for its only use: checking if untracked files exist in the index. The compatibility checks in t1092 already test that 'git add <dir>' works for a directory outside of the sparse cone. That provides coverage for removing this guard. This finalizes our ability to run 'git add .' without expanding a sparse index to a full one. This is evidenced by an update to t1092 and by these performance numbers for p2000-sparse-operations.sh: Test HEAD~1 HEAD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000.10: git add . (full-index-v3) 0.37(0.28+0.07) 0.36(0.27+0.06) -2.7% 2000.11: git add . (full-index-v4) 0.33(0.26+0.06) 0.32(0.28+0.05) -3.0% 2000.12: git add .

Comparing to the full index case, we see the performance go from 0.33s to 0.05s, an 85% improvement.

2021-07-29add: allow operating on a sparse-only indexLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-7/+18
Disable command_requires_full_index for 'git add'. This does not require any additional removals of ensure_full_index(). The main reason is that 'git add' discovers changes based on the pathspec and the worktree itself. These are then inserted into the index directly, and calls to index_name_pos() or index_file_exists() already call expand_to_path() at the appropriate time to support a sparse-index. Add a test to check that 'git add -A' and 'git add <file>' does not expand the index at all, as long as <file> is not within a sparse directory. This does not help the global 'git add .' case. We can measure the improvement using p2000-sparse-operations.sh with these results: Test HEAD~1 HEAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2000.6: git add -A (full-index-v3) 0.35(0.30+0.05) 0.37(0.29+0.06) +5.7% 2000.7: git add -A (full-index-v4) 0.31(0.26+0.06) 0.33(0.27+0.06) +6.5% 2000.8: git add -A (sparse-index-v3) 0.57(0.53+0.07) 0.05(0.04+0.08) -91.2% 2000.9: git add -A (sparse-index-v4) 0.58(0.55+0.06) 0.05(0.05+0.06) -91.4% While the 91% improvement seems impressive, it's important to recognize that previously we had significant overhead for expanding the sparse-index. Comparing to the full index case, 'git add -A' goes from 0.37s to 0.05s, which is "only" an 86% improvement. This modification to 'git add' creates some behavior change depending on the use of a sparse index. We modify a test in t1092 to demonstrate these changes which will be remedied in future changes.

Conflicts can occur outside of the sparse-checkout definition, and in that case users might try to resolve the conflicts in several ways. Document a few of these ways in a test.

2021-07-20unpack-trees: resolve sparse-directory/file conflictsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-12/+12
When running unpack_trees() with a sparse index, we attempt to operate on the index without expanding the sparse directory entries. Thus, we operate by manipulating entire directories and passing them to the unpack function. In the case of the 'git checkout' command, this is the twoway_merge() function. There are several cases in twoway_merge() that handle different situations. One new one to add is the case of a directory/file conflict where the directory is sparse. Before the sparse index, such a conflict would appear as a list of file additions and deletions. Now, twoway_merge() initializes 'current', 'oldtree', and 'newtree' from src[0], src[1], and src[2], then sets 'oldtree' to NULL because it is equal to the df_conflict_entry. The way to determine that we have a directory/file conflict is to test that 'current' and 'newtree' disagree on being sparse directory entries. When we are in this case, we want to resolve the situation by calling merged_entry(). This allows replacing the 'current' entry with the 'newtree' entry. This is important for cases where we want to run 'git checkout' across the conflict and have the new HEAD represent the new file type at that path. The first NEEDSWORK comment dropped in t1092 demonstrates this necessary behavior. However, we still are in a confusing state when 'current' corresponds to a staged change within a sparse directory that is not present at HEAD. This should be atypical, because it requires adding a change outside of the sparse-checkout cone, but it is possible. Since we are unable to determine that this is a staged change within twoway_merge(), we cannot add a case to reject the merge at this point. I believe this is due to the use of df_conflict_entry in the place of 'oldtree' instead of using the valud at HEAD, which would provide some perspective to this decision. Any change that would allow this differentiation for staged entries would need to involve information further up in unpack_trees(). That work should be done, sometime, because we are further confusing the behavior of a directory/file conflict when staging a change in the directory. The two cases 'checkout behaves oddly with df-conflict-?' in t1092 demonstrate that even without a sparse-checkout, Git is not consistent in its behavior. Neither of the two options seems correct, either. This change makes the sparse-index behave differently than the typcial sparse-checkout case, but it does match the full checkout behavior in the df-conflict-2 case.

2021-07-20t1092: document bad 'git checkout' behaviorLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+140
Add new branches to the test repo that demonstrate directory/file conflicts in different ways. Since the directory 'folder1/' has adjacent files 'folder1-', 'folder1.txt', and 'folder10' it causes searches for 'folder1/' to land in a different place in the index than a search for 'folder1'. This causes a change in behavior when working with the df-conflict-1 and df-conflict-2 branches, whose only difference is that the first uses 'folder1' as the conflict and the other uses 'folder2' which does not have these adjacent files. We can extend two tests that compare the behavior across different 'git checkout' commands, and we see already that the behavior will be different in some cases and not in others. The difference between the two test loops is that one uses 'git reset --hard' between iterations. Further, we isolate the behavior of creating a staged change within a directory and then checking out a branch where that directory is replaced with a file. A full checkout behaves differently across these two cases, while a sparse-checkout cone behaves consistently. In both cases, the behavior is wrong. In one case, the staged change is dropped entirely. The other case the staged change is kept, replacing the file at that location, but none of the other files in the directory are kept. Likely, the correct behavior in this case is to reject the checkout and report the conflict, leaving HEAD in its previous location. None of the cases behave this way currently. Use comments to demonstrate that the tested behavior is only a documentation of the current, incorrect behavior to ensure we do not _accidentally_ change it. Instead, we would prefer to change it on purpose with a future change. At this point, the sparse-index does not handle these 'git checkout' commands correctly. Or rather, it _does_ reject the 'git checkout' when we have the staged change, but for the wrong reason. It also rejects the 'git checkout' commands when there is no staged change and we want to replace a directory with a file. A fix for that unstaged case will follow in the next change, but that will make the sparse-index agree with the full checkout case in these documented incorrect behaviors.

2021-07-14checkout: stop expanding sparse indexesLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+9
Previous changes did the necessary improvements to unpack-trees.c and diff-lib.c in order to modify a sparse index based on its comparision with a tree. The only remaining work is to remove some ensure_full_index() calls and add tests that verify that the index is not expanded in our interesting cases. Include 'switch' and 'restore' in these tests, as they share a base implementation with 'checkout'. Here are the relevant performance results from p2000-sparse-operations.sh: Test HEAD~1 HEAD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000.18: git checkout -f - (full-v3) 0.49(0.43+0.03) 0.47(0.39+0.05) -4.1% 2000.19: git checkout -f - (full-v4) 0.45(0.37+0.06) 0.42(0.37+0.05) -6.7% 2000.20: git checkout -f - (sparse-v3) 0.76(0.71+0.07) 0.04(0.03+0.04) -94.7% 2000.21: git checkout -f - (sparse-v4) 0.75(0.72+0.04) 0.05(0.06+0.04) -93.3% It is important to compare the full index case to the sparse index case, as the previous results for the sparse index were inflated by the index expansion. For index v4, this is an 88% improvement. On an internal repository with over two million paths at HEAD and a sparse-checkout definition containing ~60,000 of those paths, 'git checkout' went from 3.5s to 297ms with this change. The theoretical optimum where only those ~60,000 paths exist was 275ms, so the extra sparse directory entries contribute a 22ms overhead.

2021-07-14commit: integrate with sparse-indexLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-4/+43
Update 'git commit' to allow using the sparse-index in memory without expanding to a full one. The only place that had an ensure_full_index() call was in cache_tree_update(). The recursive algorithm for update_one() was already updated in 2de37c536 (cache-tree: integrate with sparse directory entries, 2021-03-03) to handle sparse directory entries in the index. Most of this change involves testing different command-line options that allow specifying which on-disk changes should be included in the commit. This includes no options (only take currently-staged changes), -a (take all tracked changes), and --include (take a list of specific changes). To simplify testing that these options do not expand the index, update the test that previously verified that 'git status' does not expand the index with a helper method, ensure_not_expanded(). This allows 'git commit' to operate much faster when the sparse-checkout cone is much smaller than the full list of files at HEAD. Here are the relevant lines from p2000-sparse-operations.sh: Test HEAD~1 HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000.14: git commit -a -m A (full-v3) 0.35(0.26+0.06) 0.36(0.28+0.07) +2.9% 2000.15: git commit -a -m A (full-v4) 0.32(0.26+0.05) 0.34(0.28+0.06) +6.3% 2000.16: git commit -a -m A (sparse-v3) 0.63(0.59+0.06) 0.04(0.05+0.05) -93.7% 2000.17: git commit -a -m A (sparse-v4) 0.64(0.59+0.08) 0.04(0.04+0.04) -93.8% It is important to compare the full-index case to the sparse-index case, so the improvement for index version v4 is actually an 88% improvement in this synthetic example. In a real repository with over two million files at HEAD and 60,000 files in the sparse-checkout definition, the time for 'git commit -a' went from 2.61 seconds to 134ms. I compared this to the result if the index only contained the paths in the sparse-checkout definition and found the theoretical optimum to be 120ms, so the out-of-cone paths only add a 12% overhead.

It is difficult, but possible, to get into a state where we intend to add a directory that is outside of the sparse-checkout definition. Add a test to t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh that demonstrates this using a combination of 'git reset --mixed' and 'git checkout --orphan'. This test failed before because the output of 'git status --porcelain=v2' would not match on the lines for folder1/: * The sparse-checkout repo (with a full index) would output each path name that is intended to be added. * The sparse-index repo would only output that "folder1/" is staged for addition. The status should report the full list of files to be added, and so this sparse-directory entry should be expanded to a full list when reaching it inside the wt_status_collect_changes_initial() method. Use read_tree_at() to assist. Somehow, this loop over the cache entries was not guarded by ensure_full_index() as intended.

2021-07-14status: use sparse-index throughoutLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-4/+9
By testing 'git -c core.fsmonitor= status -uno', we can check for the simplest index operations that can be made sparse-aware. The necessary implementation details are already integrated with sparse-checkout, so modify command_requires_full_index to be zero for cmd_status(). In refresh_index(), we loop through the index entries to refresh their stat() information. However, sparse directories have no stat() information to populate. Ignore these entries. This allows 'git status' to no longer expand a sparse index to a full one. This is further tested by dropping the "-uno" option and adding an untracked file into the worktree. The performance test p2000-sparse-checkout-operations.sh demonstrates these improvements: Test HEAD~1 HEAD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000.2: git status (full-index-v3) 0.31(0.30+0.05) 0.31(0.29+0.06) +0.0% 2000.3: git status (full-index-v4) 0.31(0.29+0.07) 0.34(0.30+0.08) +9.7% 2000.4: git status (sparse-index-v3) 2.35(2.28+0.10) 0.04(0.04+0.05) -98.3% 2000.5: git status (sparse-index-v4) 2.35(2.24+0.15) 0.05(0.04+0.06) -97.9% Note that since HEAD~1 was expanding the sparse index by parsing trees, it was artificially slower than the full index case. Thus, the 98% improvement is misleading, and instead we should celebrate the 0.34s to 0.05s improvement of 85%. This is more indicative of the peformance gains we are expecting by using a sparse index. Note: we are dropping the assignment of core.fsmonitor here. This is not necessary for the test script as we are not altering the config any other way. Correct integration with FS Monitor will be validated in later changes.

2021-07-14status: skip sparse-checkout percentage with sparse-indexLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+8
'git status' began reporting a percentage of populated paths when sparse-checkout is enabled in 051df3cf (wt-status: show sparse checkout status as well, 2020-07-18). This percentage is incorrect when the index has sparse directories. It would also be expensive to calculate as we would need to parse trees to count the total number of possible paths. Avoid the expensive computation by simplifying the output to only report that a sparse checkout exists, without the percentage. This change is the reason we use 'git status --porcelain=v2' in t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh.

Before moving to update 'git status' and 'git add' to work with sparse indexes, add an explicit test that ensures the sparse-index works the same as a normal sparse-checkout when the worktree contains directories and files outside of the sparse cone. Specifically, 'folder1/a' is a file in our test repo, but 'folder1' is not in the sparse cone. When 'folder1/a' is modified, the file is not shown as modified and adding it will fail. This is new behavior as of a20f704 (add: warn when asked to update SKIP_WORKTREE entries, 2021-04-08). Before that change, these adds would be silently ignored. Untracked files are fine: adding new files both with 'git add .' and 'git add folder1/' works just as in a full checkout. This may not be entirely desirable, but we are not intending to change behavior at the moment, only document it. A future change could alter the behavior to be more sensible, and this test could be modified to satisfy the new expected behavior.

2021-07-14sparse-index: skip indexes with unmerged entriesLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+22
The sparse-index format is designed to be compatible with merge conflicts, even those outside the sparse-checkout definition. The reason is that when converting a full index to a sparse one, a cache entry with nonzero stage will not be collapsed into a sparse directory entry. However, this behavior was not tested, and a different behavior within convert_to_sparse() fails in this scenario. Specifically, cache_tree_update() will fail when unmerged entries exist. convert_to_sparse_rec() uses the cache-tree data to recursively walk the tree structure, but also to compute the OIDs used in the sparse-directory entries. Add an index scan to convert_to_sparse() that will detect if these merge conflict entries exist and skip the conversion before trying to update the cache-tree. This is marked as NEEDSWORK because this can be removed with a suitable update to cache_tree_update() or a similar method that can construct a cache-tree with invalid nodes, but still allow creating the nodes necessary for creating sparse directory entries. It is possible that in the future we will not need to make such an update, since if we do not expand a sparse-index into a full one, this conversion does not need to happen. Thus, this can be deferred until the merge machinery is made to integrate with the sparse-index.

2021-05-25t1092: use GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY for consistent resultsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-3/+3
The t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh tests compare the stdout and stderr for several Git commands across both full checkouts, sparse checkouts with a full index, and sparse checkouts with a sparse index. Since these are direct comparisons, sometimes a progress indicator can flush at unpredictable points, especially on slower machines. This causes the tests to be flaky. One standard way to avoid this is to add GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY=0 to the Git commands that are run, as this will force every progress indicator created with start_progress_delay() to be created immediately. However, there are some progress indicators that are created in the case of a full index that are not created with a sparse index. Moreover, their values may be different as those indexes have a different number of entries. Instead, use GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY=-1 (which will turn into UINT_MAX) to ensure that any reasonable machine running these tests would never display delayed progress indicators.

2021-03-30sparse-index: convert from full to sparseLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-2/+59
If we have a full index, then we can convert it to a sparse index by replacing directories outside of the sparse cone with sparse directory entries. The convert_to_sparse() method does this, when the situation is appropriate. For now, we avoid converting the index to a sparse index if: 1. the index is split. 2. the index is already sparse. 3. sparse-checkout is disabled. 4. sparse-checkout does not use cone mode. Finally, we currently limit the conversion to when the GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX environment variable is enabled. A mode using Git config will be added in a later change. The trickiest thing about this conversion is that we might not be able to mark a directory as a sparse directory just because it is outside the sparse cone. There might be unmerged files within that directory, so we need to look for those. Also, if there is some strange reason why a file is not marked with CE_SKIP_WORKTREE, then we should give up on converting that directory. There is still hope that some of its subdirectories might be able to convert to sparse, so we keep looking deeper. The conversion process is assisted by the cache-tree extension. This is calculated from the full index if it does not already exist. We then abandon the cache-tree as it no longer applies to the newly-sparse index. Thus, this cache-tree will be recalculated in every sparse-full-sparse round-trip until we integrate the cache-tree extension with the sparse index. Some Git commands use the index after writing it. For example, 'git add' will update the index, then write it to disk, then read its entries to report information. To keep the in-memory index in a full state after writing, we re-expand it to a full one after the write. This is wasteful for commands that only write the index and do not read from it again, but that is only the case until we make those commands "sparse aware." We can compare the behavior of the sparse-index in t1092-sparse-checkout-compability.sh by using GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=1 when operating on the 'sparse-index' repo. We can also compare the two sparse repos directly, such as comparing their indexes (when expanded to full in the case of the 'sparse-index' repo). We also verify that the index is actually populated with sparse directory entries. The 'checkout and reset (mixed)' test is marked for failure when comparing a sparse repo to a full repo, but we can compare the two sparse-checkout cases directly to ensure that we are not changing the behavior when using a sparse index.

We will use 'test-tool read-cache --table' to check that a sparse index is written as part of init_repos. Since we will no longer always expand a sparse index into a full index, add an '--expand' parameter that adds a call to ensure_full_index() so we can compare a sparse index directly against a full index, or at least what the in-memory index looks like when expanded in this way.

2021-03-30t1092: compare sparse-checkout to sparse-indexLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-4/+20
Add a new 'sparse-index' repo alongside the 'full-checkout' and 'sparse-checkout' repos in t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh. Also add run_on_sparse and test_sparse_match helpers. These helpers will be used when the sparse index is implemented. Add the GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX environment variable to enable the sparse-index by default. This can be enabled across all tests, but that will only affect cases where the sparse-checkout feature is enabled.

2021-03-30t1092: clean up script quotingLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-10/+10
This test was introduced in 19a0acc83e4 (t1092: test interesting sparse-checkout scenarios, 2021-01-23), but it contains issues with quoting that were not noticed until starting this follow-up series. The old mechanism would drop quoting such as in test_all_match git commit -m "touch README.md" The above happened to work because README.md is a file in the repository, so 'git commit -m touch REAMDE.md' would succeed by accident. Other cases included quoting for no good reason, so clean that up now. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

These also document some behaviors that differ from a full checkout, and possibly in a way that is not intended. The test is designed to be run with "--run=1,X" where 'X' is an interesting test case. Each test uses 'init_repos' to reset the full and sparse copies of the initial-repo that is created by the first test case. This also makes it possible to have test cases leave the working directory or index in unusual states without disturbing later cases.
