The on-disk bitmap format has a flag to mark a bitmap to be "reused". This is a rather curious feature, and works like this: - a run of pack-objects would decide to mark the last 80% of the bitmaps it generates with the reuse flag - the next time we generate bitmaps, we'd see those reuse flags from the last run, and mark those commits as special: - we'd be more likely to select those commits to get bitmaps in the new output - when generating the bitmap for a selected commit, we'd reuse the old bitmap as-is (rearranging the bits to match the new pack, of course) However, neither of these behaviors particularly makes sense. Just because a commit happened to be bitmapped last time does not make it a good candidate for having a bitmap this time. In particular, we may choose bitmaps based on how recent they are in history, or whether a ref tip points to them, and those things will change. We're better off re-considering fresh which commits are good candidates. Reusing the existing bitmap _is_ a reasonable thing to do to save computation. But only reusing exact bitmaps is a weak form of this. If we have an old bitmap for A and now want a new bitmap for its child, we should be able to compute that only by looking at trees and that are new to the child. But this code would consider only exact reuse (which is perhaps why it was eager to select those commits in the first place). Furthermore, the recent switch to the reverse-edge algorithm for generating bitmaps dropped this optimization entirely (and yet still performs better). So let's do a few cleanups: - drop the whole "reusing bitmaps" phase of generating bitmaps. It's not helping anything, and is mostly unused code (or worse, code that is using CPU but not doing anything useful) - drop the use of the on-disk reuse flag to select commits to bitmap - stop setting the on-disk reuse flag in bitmaps we generate (since nothing respects it anymore) We will keep a few innards of the reuse code, which will help us implement a more capable version of the "reuse" optimization: - simplify rebuild_existing_bitmaps() into a function that only builds the mapping of bits between the old and new orders, but doesn't actually convert any bitmaps - make rebuild_bitmap() public; we'll call it lazily to convert bitmaps as we traverse (using the mapping created above) Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Taylor Blau <me@ttaylorr.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> |

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt
for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
