Provide more meaningful output from 'git init-db'.

Back in the old days of Git when people messed around with their
GIT_DIR environment variable more often it was nice to know whether
or not git-init-db created a .git directory or used GIT_DIR.
As most users at that time were rather technical UNIXy folk the
message "defaulting to local storage area" made sense to some and
seemed reasonable.

But it doesn't really convey any meaning to the new Git user,
as they don't know what a 'local storage area is' nor do they
know enough about Git to care.  It also really doesn't tell the
experienced Git user a whole lot about the command they just ran,
especially if they might be reinitializing an existing repository
(e.g. to update hooks).

So now we print out what we did ("Initialized empty" or
"Reinitialized existing"), what type of repository ("" or "shared"),
and what location the repository will be in ("$GIT_DIR").

17 years agoAvoid accessing a slow working copy during diffcore operations.
Shawn O. Pearce [Thu, 14 Dec 2006 11:15:57 +0000 (06:15 -0500)]
Avoid accessing a slow working copy during diffcore operations.

The Cygwin folks have done a fine job at creating a POSIX layer
on Windows That Just Works(tm).  However it comes with a penalty;
accessing files in the working tree by way of stat/open/mmap can
be slower for diffcore than inflating the data from a blob which
is stored in a packfile.

This performance problem is especially an issue in merge-recursive
when dealing with nearly 7000 added files, as we are loading
each file's content from the working directory to perform rename
detection.  I have literally seen (and sadly watched) paint dry in
less time than it takes for merge-recursive to finish such a merge.
On the other hand this very same merge runs very fast on Solaris.

If Git is compiled with NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY set then we will
avoid looking at the working directory when the blob in question
is available within a packfile and the caller doesn't need the data
unpacked into a temporary file.

We don't use loose objects as they have the same open/mmap/close
costs as the working directory file access, but have the additional
CPU overhead of needing to inflate the content before use.  So it
is still faster to use the working tree file over the loose object.

If the caller needs the file data unpacked into a temporary file
its likely because they are going to call an external diff program,
passing the file as a parameter.  In this case reusing the working
tree file will be faster as we don't need to inflate the data and
write it out to a temporary file.

The NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY feature is enabled by default on
Cygwin, as that is the platform which currently appears to benefit
the most from this option.

There are some baseless merge cases where git-merge-recursive will
try to compare one of the branches against the empty tree.  However
most projects won't have the empty tree object in their object database
as Git does not normally create empty tree objects.  If the empty tree
object is missing then the merge process will die, as it cannot load the
object from the database.  The error message may make the user think that
their database is corrupt when its actually not.

So instead we should just create the empty tree object whenever it is
needed.  If the object already exists as a loose object then no harm
done.  Otherwise that loose object will be pruned away later by either

17 years agochange the unpack limit treshold to a saner value
Nicolas Pitre [Thu, 7 Dec 2006 04:01:00 +0000 (23:01 -0500)]
change the unpack limit treshold to a saner value

Currently the treshold is 5000.  The likelihood of this value to ever be
crossed for a single push is really small making it not really useful.

The optimal treshold for a pure space saving on a filesystem with 4kb
blocks is 3.  However this is likely to create many small packs
concentrating a large number of files in a single directory compared to
the same objects which are spread over 256 directories when loose.  This
means we would need 512 objects per pack on average to approximagte the
same directory cost (a pack has 2 files because of the index).

But 512 is a really high value just like 5000 since most pushes are
unlikely to have that many objects.  So let's try with a value of 100
which should have a good balance between small pushes going to be
exploded into loose objects and large pushes kept as whole packs.

This is not a replacement for periodic repacks of course.

17 years agoExplicitly add the default "git pull" behaviour to .git/config on clone

Explicitly add the default "git pull" behaviour to .git/config on clone

Without any specification in the .git/config file, git-pull will execute
"git-pull origin"; which in turn defaults to pull from the first "pull"
definition for the remote, "origin".

This is a difficult set of defaults to track for a new user, and it's
difficult to see what tells git to do this (especially when it is
actually hard-coded behaviour).  To ameliorate this slightly, this patch
explicitly specifies the default behaviour during a clone using the
"branch" section of the config.

For example, a clone of a typical repository would create a .git/config
containing:
  [remote "origin"]
  url = proto://host/repo.git
  fetch = refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
  [branch "master"]
  remote = origin
  merge = refs/heads/master

The [branch "master"] section is such that there is no change to the
functionality of git-pull, but that functionality is now explicitly
documented.

changes to 10-25 conflict. But it is possible that the next

So, in the next iteration we have to look at the same change

The old code tried to be a bit too clever. The new code is
shorter and more to the point: do not fiddle with the ranges
at all.

Also, xdl_append_merge() tries harder to combine conflicts.
This is necessary, because with the above simplification,
some conflicts would not be recognized as conflicts otherwise:

In the above scenario, it is possible that there is no other
