From c523035cbd8515d095dc15e9661fd896733bedbc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2019 11:14:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] commit-graph: allow cross-alternate chains In an environment like a fork network, it is helpful to have a commit-graph chain that spans both the base repo and the fork repo. The fork is usually a small set of data on top of the large repo, but sometimes the fork is much larger. For example, git-for-windows/git has almost double the number of commits as git/git because it rebases its commits on every major version update. To allow cross-alternate commit-graph chains, we need a few pieces: 1. When looking for a graph-{hash}.graph file, check all alternates. 2. When merging commit-graph chains, do not merge across alternates. 3. When writing a new commit-graph chain based on a commit-graph file in another object directory, do not allow success if the base file has of the name "commit-graph" instead of "commit-graphs/graph-{hash}.graph".

The first file that +exists defines our chain. As we look for the `graph-{hash}` files for +each `{hash}` in the chain file, we follow the same pattern for the host +directories. + +This allows commit-graphs to be split across multiple forks in a fork network. +The typical case is a large "base" repo with many smaller forks. + +As the base repo advances, it will likely update and merge its commit-graph +chain more frequently than the forks. If a fork updates their commit-graph after +the base repo, then it should "reparent" the commit-graph chain onto the new +chain in the base repo. When reading each `graph-{hash}` file, we track +the object directory containing it. During a write of a new commit-graph file, +we check for any changes in the source object directory and read the +`commit-graph-chain` file for that source and create a new file based on those +files. During this "reparent" operation, we necessarily need to collapse all +levels in the fork, as all of the files are invalid against the new base file. + +It is crucial to be careful when cleaning up "unreferenced" `graph-{hash}.graph` +files in this scenario. It falls to the user to define the proper settings for +their custom environment: + + 1. When merging levels in the base repo, the unreferenced files may still be + referenced by chains from fork repos. + + 2. The expiry time should be set to a length of time such that every fork has + time to recompute their commit-graph chain to "reparent" onto the new base + file(s). + + 3. If the commit-graph chain is updated in the base, the fork will not have + access to the new chain until its chain is updated to reference those files. + (This may change in the future [5].) + Related Links ------------- [0] https://bugs.chromium.org/p/git/issues/detail?id=8 @@ -292,3 +328,7 @@ Related Links [4] https://public-inbox.org/git/20180108154822.54829-1-git@jeffhostetler.com/T/#u A patch to remove the ahead-behind calculation from 'status'. + +[5] https://public-inbox.org/git/f27db281-abad-5043-6d71-cbb083b1c877@gmail.com/ + A discussion of a "two-dimensional graph position" that can allow reading + multiple commit-graph chains at the same time. diff --git a/commit-graph.c b/commit-graph.c index fb3100921c..fba705bc51 100644 --- a/commit-graph.c +++ b/commit-graph.c @@ -320,6 +320,9 @@ static struct commit_graph *load_commit_graph_v1(struct repository *r, const cha struct commit_graph *g = load_commit_graph_one(graph_name);
