Linus Torvalds [Tue, 25 Oct 2005 20:01:42 +0000 (13:01 -0700)]
[PATCH] Make "gitk" work better with dense revlists

To generate the diff for a commit, gitk used to do

git-diff-tree -p -C $p $id

(and same thing to generate filenames, except using just "-r" there) which
does actually generate the diff from the parent to the $id, exactly like
it meant to do.

However, that really sucks with --dense, where the "parent" information
has all been rewritten to point to the previous commit. The diff actually
works exactly right, but now it's the diff of the _whole_ sequence of
commits all the way to the previous commit that last changed the file(s)
that we are looking at.

And that's really not what we want 99.9% of the time, even if it may be
perfectly sensible. Not only will the diff not actually match the commit
message, but it will usually be _huge_, and all of it will be totally
uninteresting to us, since we were only interested in a particular set of
files.

It also doesn't match what we do when we write the patch to a file.

So this makes gitk just show the diff of _that_ commit.

We might even want to have some way to limit the diff to only the
filenames we're interested in, but it's often nice to see what else
changed at the same time, so that's secondary.

The merge diff handling is left alone, although I think that should also
be changed to only look at what that _particular_ merge did, not what it
did when compared to the faked-out parents.

19 years agogit-rev-list: do not forget non-commit refs

git-rev-list: do not forget non-commit refs

What happens is that the new logic decides that if it can't look up a
commit reference (ie "get_commit_reference()" returns NULL), the thing
must be a pathname.

Fair enough.

But wrong.

The thing is, it may be a perfectly fine ref that _isn't_ a commit. In
git, you have a tag that points to your PGP key, and in the kernel, I have
a tag that points to a tree (and a direct ref that points to that tree
too, for that matter).

So the rule is (as for all the other programs that mix revs and pathnames)
not that we only accept commit references, but _any_ valid object ref.

If the object then isn't a commit ref, git-rev-list will either ignore it,
or add it to the list of non-commit objects (if using "--objects").

The solution is to move the "get_sha1()" out of get_commit_reference(),
and into the callers. In fact, we already _have_ the SHA1 in the case of
the handle_all() loop, since for_each_ref() will have done it for us, so
this is the correct thing to do anyway.

This patch (on top of the original one) does exactly that.

   no filenames are given, this doesn't actually change any historical

   filenames, do it fully. The sparse "merge-only" thing may be useful,
   but it's not what you'd normally expect)

 - make "git-rev-parse" show the default revision control before it shows
   any pathnames.

   This was a real bug, but nobody would ever have noticed, because
   the default thing tends to only make sense for git-rev-list, and
   git-rev-list didn't use to take pathnames.

 - it changes "git-rev-list" to match the other commands that take a mix
   of revisions and filenames - it no longer requires the "--" before
   filenames (although you still need to do it if a filename could be
   confused with a revision name, eg "gitk" in the git archive)

This all just makes for much more pleasant and obvous usage. Just doing a

gitk t/

git-upload-pack: Support sending multiple ACK messages

The current fetch/upload protocol works like this:

- client sends revs it wants to have via "want" messages
- client sends a flush message (message with len 0)
- client sends revs it has via "have" messages
- after one window (32 revs), a flush is sent
- after each subsequent window, a flush is sent, and an ACK/NAK is received.
        (NAK means that server does not have any of the transmitted revs;
         ACK sends also the sha1 of the rev server has)
 - when the first ACK is received, client sends "done", and does not expect
        any further messages

One special case, though:

- if no ACK is received (only NAK's), and client runs out of revs to send,
        "done" is sent, and server sends just one more "NAK"

A smarter scheme, which actually has a chance to detect more than one
common rev, would be to send more than just one ACK. This patch implements
the server side of the following extension to the protocol:

- client sends at least one "want" message with "multi_ack" appended, like

        "want 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 multi_ack"

- if the server understands that extension, it will send ACK messages for all
        revs it has, not just the first one

- server appends "continue" to the ACK messages like

        "ACK 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 continue"

        until it has MAX_HAS-1 revs. In this manner, client knows when to
        stop sending revs by checking for the substring "continue" (and
        further knows that server understands multi_ack)

In this manner, the protocol stays backwards compatible, since both client
must send "want ... multi_ack" and server must answer with "ACK ...
continue" to enable the extension.

git-rev-list: add "--dense" flag

This is what the recent git-rev-list changes have all been gearing up for.

When we use a path filter to git-rev-list, the new "--dense" flag asks
git-rev-list to compress the history so that it _only_ contains commits
that change files in the path filter.  It also rewrites the parent
information so that tools like "gitk" will see the result as a dense
history tree.

For example, on the current kernel archive:

[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l
9904
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD -- kernel | wc -l
5442
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list --dense HEAD -- kernel | wc -l
356

which shows that while we have almost ten thousand commits, we can prune
down the work to slightly more than half by only following the merges
that are interesting. But further, we can then compress the history to
just 356 entries that actually make changes to the kernel subdirectory.

To see this in action, try something like

gitk --dense -- gitk

to see just the history that affects gitk.  Or, to show that true
parallel development still remains parallel, do

gitk --dense -- daemon.c

which shows some parallel commits in the current git tree.

Teach git-rev-list to follow just a specified set of files

This is the first cut at a git-rev-list that knows to ignore commits that
don't change a certain file (or set of files).

NOTE! For now it only prunes _merge_ commits, and follows the parent where
there are no differences in the set of files specified. In the long run,
I'd like to make it re-write the straight-line history too, but for now
the merge simplification is much more fundamentally important (the
rewriting of straight-line history is largely a separate simplification
phase, but the merge simplification needs to happen early if we want to
optimize away unnecessary commit parsing).

If all parents of a merge change some of the files, the merge is left as
is, so the end result is in no way guaranteed to be a linear history, but
it will often be a lot /more/ linear than the full tree, since it prunes
out parents that didn't matter for that set of files.

As an example from the current kernel:

[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l
9885
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD -- Makefile | wc -l
4084
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD -- drivers/usb | wc -l
5206

and you can also use 'gitk' to more visually see the pruning of the
history tree, with something like

gitk -- drivers/usb

showing a simplified history that tries to follow the first parent in a
merge that is the parent that fully defines drivers/usb/.

This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a

some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables
from diff-tree.c into the options structure.

diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something
else than just show the diff on stdout.

19 years agoOptimize common case of git-rev-list
Linus Torvalds [Wed, 19 Oct 2005 01:29:17 +0000 (18:29 -0700)]
Optimize common case of git-rev-list

I took a look at webgit, and it looks like at least for the "projects"
page, the most common operation ends up being basically

git-rev-list --header --parents --max-count=1 HEAD

Now, the thing is, the way "git-rev-list" works, it always keeps on
popping the parents and parsing them in order to build the list of
parents, and it turns out that even though we just want a single commit,
git-rev-list will invariably look up _three_ generations of commits.

It will parse:
 - the commit we want (it obviously needs this)
 - it's parent(s) as part of the "pop_most_recent_commit()" logic
 - it will then pop one of the parents before it notices that it doesn't
   need any more
 - and as part of popping the parent, it will parse the grandparent (again
   due to "pop_most_recent_commit()".

Now, I've strace'd it, and it really is pretty efficient on the whole, but
if things aren't nicely cached, and with long-latency IO, doing those two
extra objects (at a minimum - if the parent is a merge it will be more) is
just wasted time, and potentially a lot of it.

So here's a quick special-case for the trivial case of "just one commit,
and no date-limits or other special rules".

19 years agogit-fetch-pack: avoid unnecessary zero packing
Linus Torvalds [Tue, 18 Oct 2005 18:35:17 +0000 (11:35 -0700)]
git-fetch-pack: avoid unnecessary zero packing

If everything is up-to-date locally, we don't need to even ask for a
pack-file from the remote, or try to unpack it.

This is especially important for tags - since the pack-file common commit
logic is based purely on the commit history, it will never be able to find
a common tag, and will thus always end up re-fetching them.

Especially notably, if the tag points to a non-commit (eg a tagged tree),
the pack-file would be unnecessarily big, just because it cannot any most
recent common point between commits for pruning.

Short-circuiting the case where we already have that reference means that
we avoid a lot of these in the common case.

NOTE! This only matches remote ref names against the same local name,
which works well for tags, but is not as generic as it could be. If we
ever need to, we could match against _any_ local ref (if we have it, we
have it), but this "match against same name" is simpler and more
efficient, and covers the common case.

Renaming of refs is common for branch heads, but since those are always
commits, the pack-file generation can optimize that case.

In some cases we might still end up fetching pack-files unnecessarily, but
this at least avoids the re-fetching of tags over and over if you use a
regular

git fetch --tags ...

which was the main reason behind the change.
