The in-core "commit" object had an all-purpose "void *util" field,

Most code paths load commits using lookup_commit() and then
parse_commit(). In some cases, including some branch lookups, the commit
is parsed using parse_object_buffer() which side-steps parse_commit() in
favor of parse_commit_buffer().
With generation numbers in the commit-graph, we need to ensure that any
commit that exists in the commit-graph file has its generation number
loaded.
Create new load_commit_graph_info() method to fill in the information
for a commit that exists only in the commit-graph file. Call it from
parse_commit_buffer() after loading the other commit information from
the given buffer. Only fill this information when specified by the
'check_graph' parameter.

Define compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date(), which uses generation
numbers as a primary comparison and commit date to break ties (or as a
comparison when both commits do not have computed generation numbers).
Since the commit-graph file is closed under reachability, we know that
all commits in the file have generation at most GENERATION_NUMBER_MAX
which is less than GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY.
This change does not affect the number of commits that are walked during
the execution of paint_down_to_common(), only the order that those
commits are inspected. In the case that commit dates violate topological
order (i.e. a parent is "newer" than a child), the previous code could
walk a commit twice: if a commit is reached with the PARENT1 bit, but
later is re-visited with the PARENT2 bit, then that PARENT2 bit must be
propagated to its parents. Using generation numbers avoids this extra
effort, even if it is somewhat rare.

The generation number of a commit is defined recursively as follows:
* If a commit A has no parents, then the generation number of A is one.
* If a commit A has parents, then the generation number of A is one
more than the maximum generation number among the parents of A.
Add a uint32_t generation field to struct commit so we can pass this
information to revision walks. We use three special values to signal
the generation number is invalid:
GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY 0xFFFFFFFF
GENERATION_NUMBER_MAX 0x3FFFFFFF
GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO 0
The first (_INFINITY) means the generation number has not been loaded or
computed. The second (_MAX) means the generation number is too large to
store in the commit-graph file. The third (_ZERO) means the generation
number was loaded from a commit graph file that was written by a version
of git that did not support generation numbers.

If you have come this far, you probably have seen that this 'util'
pointer is used for many different purposes. Some are not even
contained in a command code, but buried deep in common code with no
clue who will use it and how.
The move to using commit-slab gives us a much better picture of how
some piece of data is associated with a commit and what for. Since
nobody uses 'util' pointer anymore, we can retire so that nobody will
abuse it again. commit-slab will be the way forward for associating
data to a commit.
As a side benefit, this shrinks struct commit by 8 bytes (on 64-bit
architecture) which should help reduce memory usage for reachability
test a bit. This is also what commit-slab is invented for [1].

This is yet another patch to be filed under the keyword "libification".
There is one subtle change in behavior here, where a `git log` that has

upon the first failure, whereas previously, it would have continued to the
next mergetag, if any.
In practice, that change should not matter, as it is 1) uncommon to
perform octopus merges using multiple tags as merge heads, and 2) when the

The commit-graph file provides quick access to commit data, including
the OID of the root tree for each commit in the graph. When performing
a deep commit-graph walk, we may not need to load most of the trees
for these commits.
Delay loading the tree object for a commit loaded from the graph
until requested via get_commit_tree(). Do not lazy-load trees for
commits not in the graph, since that requires duplicate parsing
and the relative peformance improvement when trees are not needed
is small.
On the Linux repository, performance tests were run for the following
command:
git log --graph --oneline -1000
Before: 0.92s
After: 0.66s

Using the commit-graph file to walk commit history removes the large
cost of parsing commits during the walk. This exposes a performance
issue: lookup_tree() takes a large portion of the computation time,
even when Git never uses those trees.
In anticipation of lazy-loading these trees, rename the 'tree' member
of struct commit to 'maybe_tree'. This serves two purposes: it hints
at the future role of possibly being NULL even if the commit has a
valid tree, and it allows for unambiguous transformation from simple
member access (i.e. commit->maybe_tree) to method access.

Teach Git to inspect a commit graph file to supply the contents of a
struct commit when calling parse_commit_gently(). This implementation
satisfies all post-conditions on the struct commit, including loading
parents, the root tree, and the commit date.
If core.commitGraph is false, then do not check graph files.
In test script t5318-commit-graph.sh, add output-matching conditions on
read-only graph operations.
By loading commits from the graph instead of parsing commit buffers, we
save a lot of time on long commit walks. Here are some performance
results for a copy of the Linux repository where 'master' has 678,653
reachable commits and is behind 'origin/master' by 59,929 commits.

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Instead of a custom commit walker like get_shallow_commits(), this new
function uses rev-list to mark NOT_SHALLOW to all reachable commits,
except borders. The definition of reachable is to be defined by the
protocol later. This makes it more flexible to define shallow boundary.
The way we find border is paint all reachable commits NOT_SHALLOW. Any
of them that "touches" commits without NOT_SHALLOW flag are considered
shallow (e.g. zero parents via grafting mechanism). Shallow commits and
their true parents are all marked SHALLOW. Then NOT_SHALLOW is removed
from shallow commits at the end.
There is an interesting observation. With a generic walker, we can
produce all kinds of shallow cutting. In the following graph, every
commit but "x" is reachable. "b" is a parent of "a".
x -- a -- o
/ /
x -- c -- b -- o
After this function is run, "a" and "c" are both considered shallow
commits. After grafting occurs at the client side, what we see is
a -- o
/
c -- b -- o
Notice that because of grafting, "a" has zero parents, so "b" is no
longer a parent of "a".
This is unfortunate and may be solved in two ways. The first is change
the way shallow grafting works and keep "a -- b" connection if "b"
exists and always ends at shallow commits (iow, no loose ends). This is
hard to detect, or at least not cheap to do.
The second way is mark one "x" as shallow commit instead of "a" and
produce this graph at client side:
x -- a -- o
/ /
c -- b -- o
More commits, but simpler grafting rules.

This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking
readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message.
Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to
be fully-reversible. "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to
showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers.
This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting
completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having
multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers.
"mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems
of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing
tooling based around mailsplit.

A commit log message sometimes tries to line things up using tabs,
assuming fixed-width font with the standard 8-place tab settings.
Viewing such a commit however does not work well in "git log", as
we indent the lines by prefixing 4 spaces in front of them.
This should all line up:
Column 1 Column 2

SPACES Instead of Tabs

Tab-expand the lines in "git log --expand-tabs" output before
prefixing 4 spaces.

require an explicit command line option to enable the behaviour.

verify-tag: share code with verify-commit
verify-tag: add tests
In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra
information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the
date_mode enum into a struct.
Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass
the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where
necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}"
constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the
enum labels as constants, like:
show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL);
Ideally we could say:
show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL });
but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot
cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an
actual address. Our options are basically:
1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }"
definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes
the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even
have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch
statement).
2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can
be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822",
"date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness
is defined in one place.
3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on
the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to
a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant.
But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not
matter.
This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep
the size of the callers sane.

* jk/squelch-missing-link-warning-for-unreachable:
suppress errors on missing UNINTERESTING links
silence broken link warnings with revs->ignore_missing_links
add quieter versions of parse_{tree,commit}
When we call parse_commit, it will complain to stderr if the
object does not exist or cannot be read. This means that we
may produce useless error messages if this situation is
expected (e.g., because the object is marked UNINTERESTING,
or because revs->ignore_missing_links is set).
We can fix this by adding a new "parse_X_gently" form that
takes a flag to suppress the messages. The existing
"parse_X" form is already gentle in the sense that it
returns an error rather than dying, and we could in theory
just add a "quiet" flag to it (with existing callers passing
"0"). But doing it this way means we do not have to disturb
existing callers.
Note also that the new flag is "quiet_on_missing", and not
just "quiet". We could add a flag to suppress _all_ errors,
but besides being a more invasive change (we would have to
pass the flag down to sub-functions, too), there is a good
reason not to: we would never want to use it. Missing a
linked object is expected in some circumstances, but it is
never expected to have a malformed commit, or to get a tree
when we wanted a commit. We should always complain about
these corruptions.

used during the merge-base traversal by passing cleanup=0 as a

preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see
the object without contaminate flags.

get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the

Usually when we parse a commit, we read it line by line and
handle each individual line (e.g., parse_commit and
parse_commit_header). Sometimes, however, we only care
about extracting a single header. Code in this situation is
stuck doing an ad-hoc parse of the commit buffer.
Let's provide a reusable function to locate a header within
the commit. The code is modeled after pretty.c's
get_header, which is used to extract the encoding.
Since some callers may not have the "struct commit" to go
along with the buffer, we drop that parameter. The only
thing lost is a warning for truncated commits, but that's
OK. This shouldn't happen in practice, and even if it does,
there's no particular reason that this function needs to
complain about it. It either finds the header it was asked
for, or it doesn't (and in the latter case, the caller will
typically complain).

that understand flex-arrays.
Note that we need to bump the allocation in add_name_decoration,
which did not explicitly add one byte for the NUL terminator

need to before, because the struct itself was over-allocated
by one byte).

In the previous commit, we made add_name_decoration global
so that adders would not have to access the hash directly.
We now make the hash itself static so that callers _have_ to
add through our function, making sure that all additions go
through a single point. To do this, we have to add one more
accessor function: a way to lookup entries in the hash.
Since the only caller doesn't actually look at the returned
value, but rather only asks whether there is a decoration or
not, we could provide only a boolean "has_name_decoration".
That would allow us to make "struct name_decoration" local
to log-tree, as well.
However, it's unlikely to cause any maintainability harm
making the actual data public, and this interface is more
flexible if we need to look at decorations from other parts
of the code in the future.

The log-tree code keeps a "struct decoration" hash to show
text decorations for each commit during log traversals. It
makes this available to other files by providing global
access to the hash. This can result in other code adding
entries that do not conform to what log-tree expects.
For example, the bisect code adds its own "dist"
decorations to be shown. Originally the bisect code was
correct, but when the name_decoration code grew a new field
in eb3005e (commit.h: add 'type' to struct name_decoration,
2010-06-19), the bisect code was not updated. As a result,
the log-tree code can access uninitialized memory and even
segfault.
We can fix this by making name_decoration's adding function
public. If all callers use it, then any changes to struct
initialization only need to happen in one place (and because
the members come in as parameters, the compiler can notice a
caller who does not supply enough information).
As a bonus, this also means that the decoration hashes
created by the bisect code will use less memory (previously
we over-allocated space for the distance integer, but now we
format it into a temporary buffer and copy it to the final
flex-array).

2. We add an extra newline between the pretty-printed

The trace API currently rechecks the environment variable and reopens the
trace file on every API call. This has the ugly side effect that errors
(e.g. file cannot be opened, or the user specified a relative path) are
also reported on every call. Performance can be improved by about factor
three by remembering the environment state and keeping the file open.
Replace the 'const char *key' parameter in the API with a pointer to a
'struct trace_key' that bundles the environment variable name with
additional, trace-internal state. Change the call sites of these APIs to
use a static 'struct trace_key' instead of a string constant.
In trace.c::get_trace_fd(), save and reuse the file descriptor in 'struct

When we call show_signature or show_mergetag, we read the
commit object fresh via read_sha1_file and reparse its
headers. However, in most cases we already have the object
data available, attached to the "struct commit". This is
partially laziness in dealing with the memory allocation
issues, but partially defensive programming, in that we
would always want to verify a clean version of the buffer
(not one that might have been munged by other users of the
commit).
However, we do not currently ever munge the commit buffer,
and not using the already-available buffer carries a fairly
big performance penalty when we are looking at a large
number of commits. Here are timings on linux.git:
[baseline, no signatures]
$ time git log >/dev/null
real 0m4.902s
user 0m4.784s
sys 0m0.120s
[before]
$ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
real 0m14.735s
user 0m9.964s
sys 0m0.944s
[after]
$ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
real 0m9.981s
user 0m5.260s
sys 0m0.936s
Note that our user CPU time drops almost in half, close to
the non-signature case, but we do still spend more
wall-clock and system time, presumably from dealing with
gpg.
An alternative to this is to note that most commits do not
have signatures (less than 1% in this repo), yet we pay the
re-parsing cost for every commit just to find out if it has
a mergetag or signature. If we checked that when parsing the
commit initially, we could avoid re-examining most commits
later on. Even if we did pursue that direction, however,
this would still speed up the cases where we _do_ have
signatures. So it's probably worth doing either way.

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

This will make it easier to manage the buffer cache
independently of the "struct commit" objects. It also
shrinks "struct commit" by one pointer, which may be
helpful.
Unfortunately it does not reduce the max memory size of
something like "rev-list", because rev-list uses
get_cached_commit_buffer() to decide not to show each
commit's output (and due to the design of slab_at, accessing
the slab requires us to extend it, allocating exactly the
same number of buffer pointers we dropped from the commit

Like the callsites in the previous commit, logmsg_reencode
already falls back to read_sha1_file when necessary.
However, I split its conversion out into its own commit
because it's a bit more complex.
We return either:
1. The original commit->buffer
2. A newly allocated buffer from read_sha1_file
3. A reencoded buffer (based on either 1 or 2 above).
while trying to do as few extra reads/allocations as
possible. Callers currently free the result with
logmsg_free, but we can simplify this by pointing them
straight to unuse_commit_buffer. This is a slight layering
violation, in that we may be passing a buffer from (3).
However, since the end result is to free() anything except
(1), which is unlikely to change, and because this makes the
interface much simpler, it's a reasonable bending of the
rules.

Many sites look at commit->buffer to get more detailed
information than what is in the parsed commit struct.
However, we sometimes drop commit->buffer to save memory,
in which case the caller would need to read the object
afresh. Some callers do this (leading to duplicated code),
and others do not (which opens the possibility of a segfault
if somebody else frees the buffer).
Let's provide a pair of helpers, "get" and "unuse", that let
callers easily get the buffer. They will use the cached
buffer when possible, and otherwise load from disk using
read_sha1_file.
Note that we also need to add a "get_cached" variant which
returns NULL when we do not have a cached buffer. At first
glance this seems to defeat the purpose of "get", which is
to always provide a return value. However, some log code
paths actually use the NULL-ness of commit->buffer as a
boolean flag to decide whether to try printing the
commit. At least for now, we want to continue supporting
that use.
