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
trace_key'.
Add a 'trace_disable()' API, so that packet_trace() can cleanly disable
tracing when it encounters packed data (instead of using unsetenv()).

In the same way as there is for_each_ref() to iterate on refs,

a given commit. Use it to rewrite show_mergetag() used in "git log".

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
structs).

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.

This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more
importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer,
which will make it easier to change later.
Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a
tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the
object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are
not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that
buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it. But if we
are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an
object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then
detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller
can free it as usual). In this case, we don't want to free
the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer
associated with the commit.
Note that we are making the assumption here that the
attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all
(e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true
now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we
abstract the commit_buffer code, this dependency becomes
less obvious. So when we detach, let's also make sure that
we get back the same buffer that we gave to the
commit_buffer code.

The return value from logmsg_reencode may be either a newly
allocated buffer or a pointer to the existing commit->buffer.
We would not want the caller to accidentally free() or
modify the latter, so let's mark it as const. We can cast
away the constness in logmsg_free, but only once we have
determined that it is a free-able buffer.

While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is
more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than
a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by
dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other
way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about
memory ownership).
This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers
and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit
message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer
around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of
some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

We sometimes write tempfiles of the form "shallow_XXXXXX"
during fetch/push operations with shallow repositories.
Under normal circumstances, we clean up the result when we
are done. However, we do no take steps to clean up after
ourselves when we exit due to die() or signal death.
This patch teaches the tempfile creation code to register
handlers to clean up after ourselves. To handle this, we
change the ownership semantics of the filename returned by
setup_temporary_shallow. It now keeps a copy of the filename
itself, and returns only a const pointer to it.
We can also do away with explicit tempfile removal in the
callers. They all exit not long after finishing with the
file, so they can rely on the auto-cleanup, simplifying the
code.
Note that we keep things simple and maintain only a single
filename to be cleaned. This is sufficient for the current
caller, but we future-proof it with a die("BUG").

The basic 8 steps to update .git/shallow does not fully apply here
because the user may choose to accept just a few refs (while fetch
always accepts all refs). The steps are modified a bit.
1-6. same as before. After calling assign_shallow_commits_to_refs at
step 6, each shallow commit has a bitmap that marks all refs that
require it.
7. mark all "ours" shallow commits that are reachable from any
refs. We will need to do the original step 7 on them later.
8. go over all shallow commit bitmaps, mark refs that require new
shallow commits.
9. setup a strict temporary shallow file to plug all the holes, even
if it may cut some of our history short. This file is used by all
hooks. The hooks could use --shallow-file=$GIT_DIR/shallow to
overcome this and reach everything in current repo.
10. go over the new refs one by one. For each ref, do the reachability
test if it needs a shallow commit on the list from step 7. Remove
it if it's reachable from our refs. Gather all required shallow
commits, run check_everything_connected() with the new ref, then
install them to .git/shallow.

Suppose a fetch or push is requested between two shallow repositories
(with no history deepening or shortening). A pack that contains
necessary objects is transferred over together with .git/shallow of
the sender. The receiver has to determine whether it needs to update
.git/shallow if new refs needs new shallow comits.
The rule here is avoid updating .git/shallow by default. But we don't
want to waste the received pack. If the pack contains two refs, one
needs new shallow commits installed in .git/shallow and one does not,
we keep the latter and reject/warn about the former.
Even if .git/shallow update is allowed, we only add shallow commits
strictly necessary for the former ref (remember the sender can send
more shallow commits than necessary) and pay attention not to
accidentally cut the receiver history short (no history shortening is
asked for)
So the steps to figure out what ref need what new shallow commits are:
1. Split the sender shallow commit list into "ours" and "theirs" list
by has_sha1_file. Those that exist in current repo in "ours", the
remaining in "theirs".
2. Check the receiver .git/shallow, remove from "ours" the ones that
also exist in .git/shallow.
3. Fetch the new pack. Either install or unpack it.
4. Do has_sha1_file on "theirs" list again. Drop the ones that fail
has_sha1_file. Obviously the new pack does not need them.
5. If the pack is kept, remove from "ours" the ones that do not exist
in the new pack.
6. Walk the new refs to answer the question "what shallow commits,
both ours and theirs, are required in .git/shallow in order to add
this ref?". Shallow commits not associated to any refs are removed
from their respective list.
7. (*) Check reachability (from the current refs) of all remaining
commits in "ours". Those reachable are removed. We do not want to
cut any part of our (reachable) history. We only check up
commits. True reachability test is done by
check_everything_connected() at the end as usual.
8. Combine the final "ours" and "theirs" and add them all to
.git/shallow. Install new refs. The case where some hook rejects
some refs on a push is explained in more detail in the push
patches.
Of these steps, #6 and #7 are expensive. Both require walking through
some commits, or in the worst case all commits. And we rather avoid
them in at least common case, where the transferred pack does not
contain any shallow commits that the sender advertises. Let's look at
each scenario:
1) the sender has longer history than the receiver
All shallow commits from the sender will be put into "theirs" list
at step 1 because none of them exists in current repo. In the
common case, "theirs" becomes empty at step 4 and exit early.
2) the sender has shorter history than the receiver
All shallow commits from the sender are likely in "ours" list at
step 1. In the common case, if the new pack is kept, we could empty
"ours" and exit early at step 5.
If the pack is not kept, we hit the expensive step 6 then exit
after "ours" is emptied. There'll be only a handful of objects to
walk in fast-forward case. If it's forced update, we may need to
walk to the bottom.
3) the sender has same .git/shallow as the receiver
This is similar to case 2 except that "ours" should be emptied at
step 2 and exit early.
A fetch after "clone --depth=X" is case 1. A fetch after "clone" (from
a shallow repo) is case 3. Luckily they're cheap for the common case.
A push from "clone --depth=X" falls into case 2, which is expensive.
Some more work may be done at the sender/client side to avoid more
work on the server side: if the transferred pack does not contain any
shallow commits, send-pack should not send any shallow commits to the
receive-pack, effectively turning it into a normal push and avoid all
steps.
This patch implements all steps except #3, already handled by
fetch-pack and receive-pack, #6 and #7, which has their own patch due
to their size.
(*) in previous versions step 7 was put before step 3. I reorder it so
that the common case that keeps the pack does not need to walk
commits at all. In future if we implement faster commit
reachability check (maybe with the help of pack bitmaps or commit
cache), step 7 could become cheap and be moved up before 6 again.

If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow
repository, shallow commits (*) will be sent after the ref
advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has
the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for
the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary.
This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow
repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as
today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and
upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and
can make use of this information.
The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the
following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary.
upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if
it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no
shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the
cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it.
Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on
smart-http comes later separately.
(*) A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision
walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the
revision walker from going out of bound because there is no
guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

When using pathspec filtering in combination with diff-based log
output, parent simplification happens before the diff is computed.
The diff is therefore against the *simplified* parents.
This works okay, arguably by accident, in the normal case:
simplification reduces to one parent as long as the commit is TREESAME
to it. So the simplified parent of any given commit must have the
same tree contents on the filtered paths as its true (unfiltered)
parent.
However, --full-diff breaks this guarantee, and indeed gives pretty
spectacular results when comparing the output of
git log --graph --stat ...
git log --graph --full-diff --stat ...
(--graph internally kicks in parent simplification, much like
--parents).
To fix it, store a copy of the parent list before simplification (in a
slab) whenever --full-diff is in effect. Then use the stored parents
instead of the simplified ones in the commit display code paths. The
latter do not actually check for --full-diff to avoid duplicated code;
they just grab the original parents if save_parents() has not been
called for this revision walk.
For ordinary commits it should be obvious that this is the right thing
to do.
Merge commits are a bit subtle. Observe that with default
simplification, merge simplification is an all-or-nothing decision:
either the merge is TREESAME to one parent and disappears, or it is
different from all parents and the parent list remains intact.
Redundant parents are not pruned, so the existing code also shows them
as a merge.
So if we do show a merge commit, the parent list just consists of the
rewrite result on each parent. Running, e.g., --cc on this in
--full-diff mode is not very useful: if any commits were skipped, some
hunks will disagree with all sides of the merge (with one side,
because commits were skipped; with the others, because they didn't
have those changes in the first place). This triggers --cc showing
these hunks spuriously.
Therefore I believe that even for merge commits it is better to show
the diffs wrt. the original parents.

RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).
This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

In the current code, callers are expected to fill in the
pretty_print_context, and then the pretty.c functions simply
read from it. This leaves no room for the pretty.c functions
to communicate with each other by manipulating the context
(e.g., data seen while printing the header may impact how we
print the body).
Rather than introduce a new struct to hold modifiable data,
let's just drop the const-ness of the existing context
struct.

This helper function was introduced as a prio_queue
comparator to help topological sorting. However, other users
of prio_queue who want to replace commit_list_insert_by_date
will want to use it, too. So let's make it public.

"git log" learned the "--author-date-order" option, with which the
output is topologically sorted and commits in parallel histories
are shown intermixed together based on the author timestamp.
* jc/topo-author-date-sort:
t6003: add --author-date-order test
topology tests: teach a helper to set author dates as well
t6003: add --date-order test
topology tests: teach a helper to take abbreviated timestamps
t/lib-t6000: style fixes
log: --author-date-order
sort-in-topological-order: use prio-queue
prio-queue: priority queue of pointers to structs
toposort: rename "lifo" field
Allow adding custom information to commit objects in order to
represent unbound number of flag bits etc.
* jk/commit-info-slab:
commit-slab: introduce a macro to define a slab for new type
commit-slab: avoid large realloc
commit: allow associating auxiliary info on-demand
Sometimes people would want to view the commits in parallel
histories in the order of author dates, not committer dates.
Teach "topo-order" sort machinery to do so, using a commit-info slab
to record the author dates of each commit, and prio-queue to sort
them.

The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a
parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are. When
traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E":
A----B----C
\
D----E
we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B
has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done.
In some applications, however, we would further want to control how
these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains
are shown.
Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and
then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output). The
"lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used
to control this behaviour. We start the traversal by knowing two
commits, C and E. While keeping in mind that we also need to
inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and
record that B needs to be inspected. By structuring the "work to be
done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next,
before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to
inspect, e.g. E.
When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered
by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing
A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together.
When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work
to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics.
After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the
next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B.
The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the
function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the
behaviour _means_.
Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible
values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and
update the existing code. The mechanical replacement rule is:
"lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE"
"lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER"

index-pack --strict looks up and follows parent commits. If shallow
information is not ready by the time index-pack is run, index-pack may
be led to non-existent objects. Make fetch-pack save shallow file to
disk before invoking index-pack.
git learns new global option --shallow-file to pass on the alternate
shallow file path. Undocumented (and not even support --shallow-file=
syntax) because it's unlikely to be used again elsewhere.

The commit encoding is parsed by logmsg_reencode, there's no need for
the caller to re-parse it again. The reencoded message now has the new
encoding, not the original one. The caller would need to read commit
object again before parsing.

The "indegree" field in the commit object is only used while sorting
a list of commits in topological order, and wasting memory otherwise.
We would prefer to shrink the size of individual commit objects,
which we may have to hold thousands of in-core. We could eject
"indegree" field out from the commit object and represent it as a
dynamic table based on the decoration infrastructure, but the
decoration is meant for sparse annotation and is not a good match.
Instead, let's try a different approach.
- Assign an integer (commit->index) to each commit we keep in-core
(reuse the space of "indegree" field for it);
- When running the topological sort, allocate an array of integers
in bulk (called "slab"), use the commit->index as an index into
this array, and store the "indegree" information there.
This does _not_ reduce the memory footprint of a commit object, but
the commit->index can be used as the index to dynamically associate
commits with other kinds of information as needed.
