#!/bin/sh test_description='pack-objects breaks long cross-pack delta chains' . ./test-lib.sh # This mirrors a repeated push setup: # # 1. A client repeatedly modifies some files, makes a # commit, and pushes the result. It does this N times # before we get around to repacking. # # 2. Each push generates a thin pack with the new version of # various objects. Let's consider some file in the root tree # which is updated in each commit. # # When generating push number X, we feed commit X-1 (and # thus blob X-1) as a preferred base. The resulting pack has # blob X as a thin delta against blob X-1. # # On the receiving end, "index-pack --fix-thin" will # complete the pack with a base copy of blob X-1. # # 3. In older versions of git, if we used the delta from # pack X, then we'd always find blob X-1 as a base in the # same pack (and generate a fresh delta). # # But with the pack mru, we jump from delta to delta # following the traversal order: # # a. We grab blob X from pack X as a delta, putting it at # the tip of our mru list. # # b. Eventually we move onto commit X-1. We need other # objects which are only in pack X-1 (in the test code # below, it's the containing tree). That puts pack X-1 # at the tip of our mru list. # # c. Eventually we look for blob X-1, and we find the # version in pack X-1 (because it's the mru tip). # # Now we have blob X as a delta against X-1, which is a delta # against X-2, and so forth. # # In the real world, these small pushes would get exploded by # unpack-objects rather than "index-pack --fix-thin", but the # same principle applies to larger pushes (they only need one # repeatedly-modified file to generate the delta chain). test_expect_success 'create series of packs' ' test-tool genrandom foo 4096 >content && prev= && for i in $(test_seq 1 10) do cat content >file && echo $i >>file && git add file && git commit -m $i && cur=$(git rev-parse HEAD^{tree}) && { test -n "$prev" && echo "-$prev" echo $cur echo "$(git rev-parse :file) file" } | git pack-objects --stdout >tmp && GIT_TRACE2_EVENT=$PWD/trace \ git index-pack -v --stdin --fix-thin enter && grep -c region_leave.*progress trace >leave && test_cmp enter leave && prev=$cur done ' max_chain() { git index-pack --verify-stat-only "$1" >output && perl -lne ' BEGIN { $len = 0 } /chain length = (\d+)/ and $len = $1; END { print $len } ' output } # Note that this whole setup is pretty reliant on the current # packing heuristics.
