merge-ort: port merge_start() from merge-recursive merge_start() basically does a bunch of sanity checks, then allocates and initializes opt->priv -- a struct merge_options_internal. Most of the sanity checks are usable as-is. The allocation/intialization is a bit different since merge-ort has a very different merge_options_internal than merge-recursive, but the idea is the same. The weirdest part here is that merge-ort and merge-recursive use the same struct merge_options, even though merge_options has a number of fields that are oddly specific to merge-recursive's internal implementation and don't even make sense with merge-ort's high-level design (e.g. buffer_output, which merge-ort has to always do). I reused the same data structure because: * most the fields made sense to both merge algorithms * making a new struct would have required making new enums or somehow externalizing them, and that was getting messy. * it simplifies converting the existing callers by not having to have different code paths for merge_options setup. I also marked detect_renames as ignored. We can revisit that later, but in short: merge-recursive allowed turning off rename detection because it was sometimes glacially slow. When you speed something up by a few orders of magnitude, it's worth revisiting whether that justification is still relevant. Besides, if folks find it's still too slow, perhaps they have a better scaling case than I could find and maybe it turns up some more optimizations we can add. If it still is needed as an option, it is easy to add later. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: add prefetching for content merges Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-05) introduced batching of fetching missing blobs, so that the diff machinery would have one fetch subprocess grab N blobs instead of N processes each grabbing 1. However, the diff machinery is not the only thing in a merge that needs to work on blobs. The 3-way content merges need them as well. Rather than download all the blobs 1 at a time, prefetch all the blobs needed for regular content merges. This does not cover all possible paths in merge-ort that might need to download blobs. Others include: - The blob_unchanged() calls to avoid modify/delete conflicts (when blob renormalization results in an "unchanged" file) - Preliminary content merges needed for rename/add and rename/rename(2to1) style conflicts. (Both of these types of conflicts can result in nested conflict markers from the need to do two levels of content merging; the first happens before our new prefetch_for_content_merges() function.) The first of these wouldn't be an extreme amount of work to support, and even the second could be theoretically supported in batching, but all of these cases seem unusual to me, and this is a minor performance optimization anyway; in the worst case we only get some of the fetches batched and have a few additional one-off fetches. So for now, just handle the regular 3-way content merges in our prefetching. For the testcase from the previous commit, the number of downloaded objects remains at 63, but this drops the number of fetches needed from 32 down to 20, a sizeable reduction.

merge-ort: use histogram diff In my cursory investigation, histogram diffs are about 2% slower than Myers diffs. Others have probably done more detailed benchmarks. But, in short, histogram diffs have been around for years and in a number of cases provide obviously better looking diffs where Myers diffs are unintelligible but the performance hit has kept them from becoming the default. However, there are real merge bugs we know about that have triggered on git.git and linux.git, which I don't have a clue how to address without the additional information that I believe is provided by histogram diffs. See the following: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190816184051.GB13894@sigill.intra.peff.net/ https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BHvJHpSJT7sdFwfNcPn_sOXwJi3=o14qjZS3M8Rzcxe2A@mail.gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BGtez4qjbtFT1hQoREfcJPmk9MzjhY5eEq1QhXT23tFOw@mail.gmail.com/ I don't like mismerges. I really don't like silent mismerges. While I am sometimes willing to make performance and correctness tradeoff, I'm much more interested in correctness in general. I want to fix the above bugs. I have not yet started doing so, but I believe histogram diff at least gives me an angle. Unfortunately, I can't rely on using the information from histogram diff unless it's in use. And it hasn't been used because of a few percentage performance hit. In testcases I have looked at, merge-ort is _much_ faster than merge-recursive for non-trivial merges/rebases/cherry-picks. As such, this is a golden opportunity to switch out the underlying diff algorithm (at least the one used by the merge machinery; git-diff and git-log are separate questions); doing so will allow me to get additional data and improved diffs, and I believe it will help me fix the above bugs at some point in the future.

merge-ort: add data structures for allowable trivial directory resolves As noted a few commits ago, we can resolve individual files early if all three sides of the merge have a file at the path and two of the three sides match. We would really like to do the same thing with directories, because being able to do a trivial directory resolve means we don't have to recurse into the directory, potentially saving us a huge amount of time in both collect_merge_info() and process_entries(). Unfortunately, resolving directories early would mean missing any renames whose source or destination is underneath that directory. If we somehow knew there weren't any renames under the directory in question, then we could resolve it early. Sadly, it is impossible to determine whether there are renames under the directory in question without recursing into it, and this has traditionally kept us from ever implementing such an optimization. In commit f89b4f2bee ("merge-ort: skip rename detection entirely if possible", 2021-03-11), we added an additional reason that rename detection could be skipped entirely -- namely, if no *relevant* sources were present. Without completing collect_merge_info_callback(), we do not yet know if there are no relevant sources. However, we do know that if the current directory on one side matches the merge base, then every source file within that directory will not be RELEVANT_CONTENT, and a few simple checks can often let us rule out RELEVANT_LOCATION as well. This suggests we can just defer recursing into such directories until the end of collect_merge_info. Since the deferred directories are known to not add any relevant sources due to the above properties, then if there are no relevant sources after we've traversed all paths other than the deferred ones, then we know there are not any relevant sources. Under those conditions, rename detection is unnecessary, and that means we can resolve the deferred directories without recursing into them. Note that the logic for skipping rename detection was also modified further in commit 76e253793c ("merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible", 2021-01-30); in particular rename detection can be skipped if we already have cached renames for each relevant source. We can take advantage of this information as well with our deferral of recursing into directories where one side matches the merge base. Add some data structures that we will use to do these deferrals, with some lengthy comments explaining their purpose.

merge-ort: precompute subset of sources for which we need rename detection rename detection works by trying to pair all file deletions (or "sources") with all file additions (or "destinations"), checking similarity, and then marking the sufficiently similar ones as renames. This can be expensive if there are many sources and destinations on a given side of history as it results in an N x M comparison matrix. However, there are many cases where we can compute in advance that detecting renames for some of the sources provides no useful information and thus that we can exclude those sources from the matrix. To see why, first note that the merge machinery uses detected renames in two ways: * directory rename detection: when one side of history renames a directory, and the other side of history adds new files to that directory, we want to be able to warn the user about the need to chose whether those new files stay in the old directory or move to the new one. * three-way content merging: in order to do three-way content merging of files, we need three different file versions. If one side of history renamed a file, then some of the content for the file is found under a different path than in the merge base or on the other side of history. Add a simple testcase showing the two kinds of reasons renames are relevant; it's a testcase that will only pass if we detect both kinds of needed renames. Other than the testcase added above, this commit concentrates just on the three-way content merging; it will punt and mark all sources as needed for directory rename detection, and leave it to future commits to narrow that down more. The point of three-way content merging is to reconcile changes made on *both* sides of history. What if the file wasn't modified on both sides? There are two possibilities: * If it wasn't modified on the renamed side: -> then we get to do exact rename detection, which is cheap. * If it wasn't modified on the unrenamed side: -> then detection of a rename for that source file is irrelevant That latter claim might be surprising at first, so let's walk through a case to show why rename detection for that source file is irrelevant. Let's use two filenames, old.c & new.c, with the following abbreviated object ids (and where the value '000000' is used to denote that the file is missing in that commit): old.c new.c MERGE_BASE: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE1: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE2: 000000 5e1ec7 If the rename *isn't* detected: then old.c looks like it was unmodified on one side and deleted on the other and should thus be removed. new.c looks like a new file we should keep as-is. If the rename *is* detected: then a three-way content merge is done. Since the version of the file in MERGE_BASE and MERGE_SIDE1 are identical, the three-way merge will produce exactly the version of the file whose abbreviated object id is 5e1ec7. It will record that file at the path new.c, while removing old.c from the directory. Note that these two results are identical -- a single file named 'new.c' with object id 5e1ec7. In other words, it doesn't matter if the rename is detected in the case where the file is unmodified on the unrenamed side. Use this information to compute whether we need rename detection for each source created in add_pair(). It's probably worth noting that there used to be a few other edge or corner cases besides three-way content merges and directory rename detection where lack of rename detection could have affected the result, but those cases actually highlighted where conflict resolution methods were not consistent with each other. Fixing those inconsistencies were thus critically important to enabling this optimization. That work involved the following: * bringing consistency to add/add, rename/add, and rename/rename conflict types, as done back in the topic merged at commit ac193e0e0a ("Merge branch 'en/merge-path-collision'", 2019-01-04), and further extended in commits 2a7c16c980 ("t6422, t6426: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving renames", 2020-08-10) and e8eb99d4a6 ("t642[23]: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving pair renames", 2020-08-10) * making rename/delete more consistent with modify/delete as done in commits 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) and 727c75b23f ("t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend", 2020-10-26) Since the set of relevant_sources we compute has not yet been narrowed down for directory rename detection, we do not pass it to diffcore_rename_extended() yet.

Let's use two filenames, old.c & new.c, with the following abbreviated object ids (and where the value '000000' is used to denote that the file is missing in that commit): old.c new.c MERGE_BASE: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE1: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE2: 000000 5e1ec7 If the rename *isn't* detected: then old.c looks like it was unmodified on one side and deleted on the other and should thus be removed. new.c looks like a new file we should keep as-is. If the rename *is* detected: then a three-way content merge is done. Since the version of the file in MERGE_BASE and MERGE_SIDE1 are identical, the three-way merge will produce exactly the version of the file whose abbreviated object id is 5e1ec7. It will record that file at the path new.c, while removing old.c from the directory. Note that these two results are identical -- a single file named 'new.c' with object id 5e1ec7. In other words, it doesn't matter if the rename is detected in the case where the file is unmodified on the unrenamed side. Use this information to compute whether we need rename detection for each source created in add_pair(). It's probably worth noting that there used to be a few other edge or corner cases besides three-way content merges and directory rename detection where lack of rename detection could have affected the result, but those cases actually highlighted where conflict resolution methods were not consistent with each other. Fixing those inconsistencies were thus critically important to enabling this optimization. That work involved the following: * bringing consistency to add/add, rename/add, and rename/rename conflict types, as done back in the topic merged at commit ac193e0e0a ("Merge branch 'en/merge-path-collision'", 2019-01-04), and further extended in commits 2a7c16c980 ("t6422, t6426: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving renames", 2020-08-10) and e8eb99d4a6 ("t642[23]: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving pair renames", 2020-08-10) * making rename/delete more consistent with modify/delete as done in commits 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) and 727c75b23f ("t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend", 2020-10-26) Since the set of relevant_sources we compute has not yet been narrowed down for directory rename detection, we do not pass it to diffcore_rename_extended() yet.

merge-ort: precompute subset of sources for which we need rename detection rename detection works by trying to pair all file deletions (or "sources") with all file additions (or "destinations"), checking similarity, and then marking the sufficiently similar ones as renames. This can be expensive if there are many sources and destinations on a given side of history as it results in an N x M comparison matrix. However, there are many cases where we can compute in advance that detecting renames for some of the sources provides no useful information and thus that we can exclude those sources from the matrix. To see why, first note that the merge machinery uses detected renames in two ways: * directory rename detection: when one side of history renames a directory, and the other side of history adds new files to that directory, we want to be able to warn the user about the need to chose whether those new files stay in the old directory or move to the new one. * three-way content merging: in order to do three-way content merging of files, we need three different file versions. If one side of history renamed a file, then some of the content for the file is found under a different path than in the merge base or on the other side of history. Add a simple testcase showing the two kinds of reasons renames are relevant; it's a testcase that will only pass if we detect both kinds of needed renames. Other than the testcase added above, this commit concentrates just on the three-way content merging; it will punt and mark all sources as needed for directory rename detection, and leave it to future commits to narrow that down more. The point of three-way content merging is to reconcile changes made on *both* sides of history. What if the file wasn't modified on both sides?

merge-ort: add data structures for allowable trivial directory resolves As noted a few commits ago, we can resolve individual files early if all three sides of the merge have a file at the path and two of the three sides match. We would really like to do the same thing with directories, because being able to do a trivial directory resolve means we don't have to recurse into the directory, potentially saving us a huge amount of time in both collect_merge_info() and process_entries(). Unfortunately, resolving directories early would mean missing any renames whose source or destination is underneath that directory. If we somehow knew there weren't any renames under the directory in question, then we could resolve it early. Sadly, it is impossible to determine whether there are renames under the directory in question without recursing into it, and this has traditionally kept us from ever implementing such an optimization. In commit f89b4f2bee ("merge-ort: skip rename detection entirely if possible", 2021-03-11), we added an additional reason that rename detection could be skipped entirely -- namely, if no *relevant* sources were present. Without completing collect_merge_info_callback(), we do not yet know if there are no relevant sources. However, we do know that if the current directory on one side matches the merge base, then every source file within that directory will not be RELEVANT_CONTENT, and a few simple checks can often let us rule out RELEVANT_LOCATION as well. This suggests we can just defer recursing into such directories until the end of collect_merge_info. Since the deferred directories are known to not add any relevant sources due to the above properties, then if there are no relevant sources after we've traversed all paths other than the deferred ones, then we know there are not any relevant sources. Under those conditions, rename detection is unnecessary, and that means we can resolve the deferred directories without recursing into them. Note that the logic for skipping rename detection was also modified further in commit 76e253793c ("merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible", 2021-01-30); in particular rename detection can be skipped if we already have cached renames for each relevant source. We can take advantage of this information as well with our deferral of recursing into directories where one side matches the merge base. Add some data structures that we will use to do these deferrals, with some lengthy comments explaining their purpose.

merge-ort: precompute whether directory rename detection is needed The point of directory rename detection is that if one side of history renames a directory, and the other side adds new files under the old directory, then the merge can move those new files into the new directory. This leads to the following important observation: * If the other side does not add any new files under the old directory, we do not need to detect any renames for that directory. Similarly, directory rename detection had an important requirement: * If a directory still exists on one side of history, it has not been renamed on that side of history. (See section 4 of t6423 or Documentation/technical/directory-rename-detection.txt for more details). Using these two bits of information, we note that directory rename detection is only needed in cases where (1) directories exist in the merge base and on one side of history (i.e. dirmask == 3 or dirmask == 5), and (2) where there is some new file added to that directory on the side where it still exists (thus where the file has filemask == 2 or filemask == 4, respectively). This has to be done in two steps, because we have the dirmask when we are first considering the directory, and won't get the filemasks for the files within it until we recurse into that directory. So, we save dir_rename_mask = dirmask - 1 when we hit a directory that is missing on one side, and then later look for cases of filemask == dir_rename_mask One final note is that as soon as we hit a directory that needs directory rename detection, we will need to detect renames in all subdirectories of that directory as well due to the "majority rules" decision when files are renamed into different directory hierarchies. We arbitrarily use the special value of 0x07 to record when we've hit such a directory. The combination of all the above mean that we introduce a variable named dir_rename_mask (couldn't think of a better name) which has one of the following values as we traverse into a directory: * 0x00: directory rename detection not needed * 0x02 or 0x04: directory rename detection only needed if files added * 0x07: directory rename detection definitely needed We then pass this value through to add_pairs() so that it can mark location_relevant as true only when dir_rename_mask is 0x07.

merge-ort: add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused We need to know when renames detected in a previous merge operation can be reused in a later merge operation. Consider the following setup (from the git-rebase manpage): A---B---C topic / D---E---F---G master After rebasing, this will appear as: A'--B'--C' topic / D---E---F---G master Further, let's say that 'oldfile' was renamed to 'newfile' between E and G. The rebase or cherry-pick of A onto G will involve a three-way merge between E (as the merge base) and G and A. After detecting the rename between E:oldfile and G:newfile, there will be a three-way content merge of the following: E:oldfile G:newfile A:oldfile and produce a new result: A':newfile Now, when we want to pick B onto A', we will need to do a three-way merge between A (as the merge-base) and A' and B. This will involve a three-way content merge of A:oldfile A':newfile B:oldfile but only if we can detect that A:oldfile is similar enough to A':newfile to be used together in a three-way content merge, i.e. only if we can detect that A:oldfile and A':newfile are a rename. But we already know that A:oldfile and A':newfile are similar enough to be used in a three-way content merge, because that is precisely where A':newfile came from in the previous merge. Note that A & A' both appear in both merges. That gives us the condition under which we can reuse renames. There are a couple important points about this optimization: - If the rebase or cherry-pick halts for user conflicts, these caches are NOT saved anywhere. Thus, resuming a halted rebase or cherry-pick will result in no reused renames for the next commit. This is intentional, as user resolution can change files significantly and in ways that violate the similarity assumptions here. - Technically, in a *very* narrow case this might give slightly different results for rename detection. Using the example above, if: * E:oldfile had 20 lines * G:newfile added 10 new lines at the beginning of the file * A:oldfile deleted all but the first three lines of the file then => A':newfile would have 13 lines, 3 of which matches those in A:oldfile. Consider the two cases: * Without this optimization: - the next step of the rebase operation (moving B to B') would not detect the rename betwen A:oldfile and A':newfile - we'd thus get a modify/delete conflict with the rebase operation halting for the user to resolve, and have both A':newfile and B:oldfile sitting in the working tree. * With this optimization: - the rename between A:oldfile and A':newfile would be detected via the cache of renames - a three-way merge between A:oldfile, A':newfile, and B:oldfile would commence and be written to A':newfile Now, is the difference in behavior a bug...or a bugfix? I can't tell. Given that A:oldfile and A':newfile are not very similar, when we three-way merge with B:oldfile it seems likely we'll hit a conflict for the user to resolve. And it shouldn't be too hard for users to see why we did that three-way merge; oldfile and newfile *were* renames somewhere in the sequence. So, most of these corner cases will still behave similarly -- namely, a conflict given to the user to resolve. Also, consider the interesting case when commit B is a clean revert of commit A. Without this optimization, a rebase could not both apply a weird patch like A and then immediately revert it; users would be forced to resolve merge conflicts. With this optimization, it would successfully apply the clean revert. So, there is certainly at least one case that behaves better. Even if it's considered a "difference in behavior", I think both behaviors are reasonable, and the time savings provided by this optimization justify using the slightly altered rename heuristics.

merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit. But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at all. Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one. It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for correctness. However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much faster due to having far fewer entries to process. This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2; but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3, we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best anyway.) Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100 lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things work. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 205.1 ms ± 3.8 ms 204.2 ms ± 3.0 ms mega-renames: 1.564 s ± 0.010 s 1.076 s ± 0.015 s just-one-mega: 479.5 ms ± 3.9 ms 364.1 ms ± 7.0 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It could be that tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2; but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3, we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best anyway.) Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100 lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things work.

* and if a directory is not affected then it permits us to do

* plus, the second collect_merge_info() will be much faster since
* it doesn't have to recurse into the relevant trees.
*
* Values for this flag:

merge-ort: add modify/delete handling and delayed output processing The focus here is on adding a path_msg() which will queue up warning/conflict/notice messages about the merge for later processing, storing these in a pathname -> strbuf map. It might seem like a big change, but it really just is: * declaration of necessary map with some comments * initialization and recording of data * a bunch of code to iterate over the map at print/free time * at least one caller in order to avoid an error about having an unused function (which we provide in the form of implementing modify/delete conflict handling). At this stage, it is probably not clear why I am opting for delayed output processing. There are multiple reasons: 1. Merges are supposed to abort if they would overwrite dirty changes in the working tree. We cannot correctly determine whether changes would be overwritten until both rename detection has occurred and full processing of entries with the renames has finalized. Warning/conflict/notice messages come up at intermediate codepaths along the way, so unless we want spurious conflict/warning messages being printed when the merge will be aborted anyway, we need to save these messages and only print them when relevant. 2. There can be multiple messages for a single path, and we want all messages for a give path to appear together instead of having them grouped by conflict/warning type. This was a problem already with merge-recursive.c but became even more important due to the splitting apart of conflict types as discussed in the commit message for 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) 3. Some callers might want to avoid showing the output in certain cases, such as if the end result is a clean merge. Rebases have typically done this. 4. Some callers might not want the output to go to stdout or even stderr, but might want to do something else with it entirely. For example, a --remerge-diff option to `git show` or `git log -p` that remerges on the fly and diffs merge commits against the remerged version would benefit from stdout/stderr not being written to in the standard form.

merge-ort: have ll_merge() use a special attr_index for renormalization ll_merge() needs an index when renormalization is requested. Create one specifically for just this purpose with just the one needed entry. This fixes t6418.4 and t6418.5 under GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort. NOTE 1: Even if the user has a working copy or a real index (which is not a given as merge-ort can be used in bare repositories), we explicitly ignore any .gitattributes file from either of these locations. merge-ort can be used to merge two branches that are unrelated to HEAD, so .gitattributes from the working copy and current index should not be considered relevant. NOTE 2: Since we are in the middle of merging, there is a risk that .gitattributes itself is conflicted...leaving us with an ill-defined situation about how to perform the rest of the merge. It could be that the .gitattributes file does not even exist on one of the sides of the merge, or that it has been modified on both sides. If it's been modified on both sides, it's possible that it could itself be merged cleanly, though it's also possible that it only merges cleanly if you use the right version of the .gitattributes file to drive the merge. It gets kind of complicated. The only test we ever had that attempted to test behavior in this area was seemingly unaware of the undefined behavior, but knew the test wouldn't work for lack of attribute handling support, marked it as test_expect_failure from the beginning, but managed to fail for several reasons unrelated to attribute handling. See commit 6f6e7cfb52 ("t6038: remove problematic test", 2020-08-03) for details. So there are probably various ways to improve what initialize_attr_index() picks in the case of a conflicted .gitattributes but for now I just implemented something simple -- look for whatever .gitattributes file we can find in any of the higher order stages and use it.

merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit. But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at all. Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one. It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for correctness. However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much faster due to having far fewer entries to process. This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then plucked a simple round number out of thin air.

merge-ort: add data structures for allowable trivial directory resolves As noted a few commits ago, we can resolve individual files early if all three sides of the merge have a file at the path and two of the three sides match. We would really like to do the same thing with directories, because being able to do a trivial directory resolve means we don't have to recurse into the directory, potentially saving us a huge amount of time in both collect_merge_info() and process_entries(). Unfortunately, resolving directories early would mean missing any renames whose source or destination is underneath that directory. If we somehow knew there weren't any renames under the directory in question, then we could resolve it early. Sadly, it is impossible to determine whether there are renames under the directory in question without recursing into it, and this has traditionally kept us from ever implementing such an optimization. In commit f89b4f2bee ("merge-ort: skip rename detection entirely if possible", 2021-03-11), we added an additional reason that rename detection could be skipped entirely -- namely, if no *relevant* sources were present. Without completing collect_merge_info_callback(), we do not yet know if there are no relevant sources. However, we do know that if the current directory on one side matches the merge base, then every source file within that directory will not be RELEVANT_CONTENT, and a few simple checks can often let us rule out RELEVANT_LOCATION as well. This suggests we can just defer recursing into such directories until the end of collect_merge_info. Since the deferred directories are known to not add any relevant sources due to the above properties, then if there are no relevant sources after we've traversed all paths other than the deferred ones, then we know there are not any relevant sources. Under those conditions, rename detection is unnecessary, and that means we can resolve the deferred directories without recursing into them. Note that the logic for skipping rename detection was also modified further in commit 76e253793c ("merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible", 2021-01-30); in particular rename detection can be skipped if we already have cached renames for each relevant source. We can take advantage of this information as well with our deferral of recursing into directories where one side matches the merge base.

merge-ort: add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused We need to know when renames detected in a previous merge operation can be reused in a later merge operation. Consider the following setup (from the git-rebase manpage): A---B---C topic / D---E---F---G master After rebasing, this will appear as: A'--B'--C' topic / D---E---F---G master Further, let's say that 'oldfile' was renamed to 'newfile' between E and G. The rebase or cherry-pick of A onto G will involve a three-way merge between E (as the merge base) and G and A. After detecting the rename between E:oldfile and G:newfile, there will be a three-way content merge of the following: E:oldfile G:newfile A:oldfile and produce a new result: A':newfile Now, when we want to pick B onto A', we will need to do a three-way merge between A (as the merge-base) and A' and B. This will involve a three-way content merge of A:oldfile A':newfile B:oldfile but only if we can detect that A:oldfile is similar enough to A':newfile to be used together in a three-way content merge, i.e. only if we can detect that A:oldfile and A':newfile are a rename. But we already know that A:oldfile and A':newfile are similar enough to be used in a three-way content merge, because that is precisely where A':newfile came from in the previous merge. Note that A & A' both appear in both merges. That gives us the condition under which we can reuse renames. There are a couple important points about this optimization: - If the rebase or cherry-pick halts for user conflicts, these caches are NOT saved anywhere. Thus, resuming a halted rebase or cherry-pick will result in no reused renames for the next commit. This is intentional, as user resolution can change files significantly and in ways that violate the similarity assumptions here. - Technically, in a *very* narrow case this might give slightly different results for rename detection. Using the example above, if: * E:oldfile had 20 lines * G:newfile added 10 new lines at the beginning of the file * A:oldfile deleted all but the first three lines of the file then => A':newfile would have 13 lines, 3 of which matches those in A:oldfile. Consider the two cases: * Without this optimization: - the next step of the rebase operation (moving B to B') would not detect the rename betwen A:oldfile and A':newfile - we'd thus get a modify/delete conflict with the rebase operation halting for the user to resolve, and have both A':newfile and B:oldfile sitting in the working tree. * With this optimization: - the rename between A:oldfile and A':newfile would be detected via the cache of renames - a three-way merge between A:oldfile, A':newfile, and B:oldfile would commence and be written to A':newfile Now, is the difference in behavior a bug...or a bugfix? I can't tell. Given that A:oldfile and A':newfile are not very similar, when we three-way merge with B:oldfile it seems likely we'll hit a conflict for the user to resolve. And it shouldn't be too hard for users to see why we did that three-way merge; oldfile and newfile *were* renames somewhere in the sequence. So, most of these corner cases will still behave similarly -- namely, a conflict given to the user to resolve. Also, consider the interesting case when commit B is a clean revert of commit A. Without this optimization, a rebase could not both apply a weird patch like A and then immediately revert it; users would be forced to resolve merge conflicts. With this optimization, it would successfully apply the clean revert. So, there is certainly at least one case that behaves better. Even if it's considered a "difference in behavior", I think both behaviors are reasonable, and the time savings provided by this optimization justify using the slightly altered rename heuristics.

merge-ort: add modify/delete handling and delayed output processing The focus here is on adding a path_msg() which will queue up warning/conflict/notice messages about the merge for later processing, storing these in a pathname -> strbuf map. It might seem like a big change, but it really just is: * declaration of necessary map with some comments * initialization and recording of data * a bunch of code to iterate over the map at print/free time * at least one caller in order to avoid an error about having an unused function (which we provide in the form of implementing modify/delete conflict handling). At this stage, it is probably not clear why I am opting for delayed output processing. There are multiple reasons: 1. Merges are supposed to abort if they would overwrite dirty changes in the working tree. We cannot correctly determine whether changes would be overwritten until both rename detection has occurred and full processing of entries with the renames has finalized. Warning/conflict/notice messages come up at intermediate codepaths along the way, so unless we want spurious conflict/warning messages being printed when the merge will be aborted anyway, we need to save these messages and only print them when relevant. 2. There can be multiple messages for a single path, and we want all messages for a give path to appear together instead of having them grouped by conflict/warning type. This was a problem already with merge-recursive.c but became even more important due to the splitting apart of conflict types as discussed in the commit message for 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) 3. Some callers might want to avoid showing the output in certain cases, such as if the end result is a clean merge. Rebases have typically done this. 4. Some callers might not want the output to go to stdout or even stderr, but might want to do something else with it entirely. For example, a --remerge-diff option to `git show` or `git log -p` that remerges on the fly and diffs merge commits against the remerged version would benefit from stdout/stderr not being written to in the standard form.

Using these two bits of information, we note that directory rename detection is only needed in cases where (1) directories exist in the merge base and on one side of history (i.e. dirmask == 3 or dirmask == 5), and (2) where there is some new file added to that directory on the side where it still exists (thus where the file has filemask == 2 or filemask == 4, respectively). This has to be done in two steps, because we have the dirmask when we are first considering the directory, and won't get the filemasks for the files within it until we recurse into that directory. So, we save dir_rename_mask = dirmask - 1 when we hit a directory that is missing on one side, and then later look for cases of filemask == dir_rename_mask One final note is that as soon as we hit a directory that needs directory rename detection, we will need to detect renames in all subdirectories of that directory as well due to the "majority rules" decision when files are renamed into different directory hierarchies. We arbitrarily use the special value of 0x07 to record when we've hit such a directory. The combination of all the above mean that we introduce a variable named dir_rename_mask (couldn't think of a better name) which has one of the following values as we traverse into a directory: * 0x00: directory rename detection not needed * 0x02 or 0x04: directory rename detection only needed if files added * 0x07: directory rename detection definitely needed We then pass this value through to add_pairs() so that it can mark location_relevant as true only when dir_rename_mask is 0x07.

merge-ort: call diffcore_rename() directly We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal), that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then call diffcore_rename() directly. This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway. However... For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 13.294 s ± 0.103 s 12.775 s ± 0.062 s mega-renames: 187.248 s ± 0.882 s 188.754 s ± 0.284 s just-one-mega: 5.557 s ± 0.017 s 5.599 s ± 0.019 s Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: precompute subset of sources for which we need rename detection rename detection works by trying to pair all file deletions (or "sources") with all file additions (or "destinations"), checking similarity, and then marking the sufficiently similar ones as renames. This can be expensive if there are many sources and destinations on a given side of history as it results in an N x M comparison matrix. However, there are many cases where we can compute in advance that detecting renames for some of the sources provides no useful information and thus that we can exclude those sources from the matrix. To see why, first note that the merge machinery uses detected renames in two ways: * directory rename detection: when one side of history renames a directory, and the other side of history adds new files to that directory, we want to be able to warn the user about the need to chose whether those new files stay in the old directory or move to the new one. * three-way content merging: in order to do three-way content merging of files, we need three different file versions. If one side of history renamed a file, then some of the content for the file is found under a different path than in the merge base or on the other side of history. Add a simple testcase showing the two kinds of reasons renames are relevant; it's a testcase that will only pass if we detect both kinds of needed renames. Other than the testcase added above, this commit concentrates just on the three-way content merging; it will punt and mark all sources as needed for directory rename detection, and leave it to future commits to narrow that down more. The point of three-way content merging is to reconcile changes made on *both* sides of history. What if the file wasn't modified on both sides? There are two possibilities: * If it wasn't modified on the renamed side: -> then we get to do exact rename detection, which is cheap. * If it wasn't modified on the unrenamed side: -> then detection of a rename for that source file is irrelevant That latter claim might be surprising at first, so let's walk through a case to show why rename detection for that source file is irrelevant. Let's use two filenames, old.c & new.c, with the following abbreviated object ids (and where the value '000000' is used to denote that the file is missing in that commit): old.c new.c MERGE_BASE: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE1: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE2: 000000 5e1ec7 If the rename *isn't* detected: then old.c looks like it was unmodified on one side and deleted on the other and should thus be removed. new.c looks like a new file we should keep as-is. If the rename *is* detected: then a three-way content merge is done. Since the version of the file in MERGE_BASE and MERGE_SIDE1 are identical, the three-way merge will produce exactly the version of the file whose abbreviated object id is 5e1ec7. It will record that file at the path new.c, while removing old.c from the directory. Note that these two results are identical -- a single file named 'new.c' with object id 5e1ec7. In other words, it doesn't matter if the rename is detected in the case where the file is unmodified on the unrenamed side. Use this information to compute whether we need rename detection for each source created in add_pair(). It's probably worth noting that there used to be a few other edge or corner cases besides three-way content merges and directory rename detection where lack of rename detection could have affected the result, but those cases actually highlighted where conflict resolution methods were not consistent with each other. Fixing those inconsistencies were thus critically important to enabling this optimization. That work involved the following: * bringing consistency to add/add, rename/add, and rename/rename conflict types, as done back in the topic merged at commit ac193e0e0a ("Merge branch 'en/merge-path-collision'", 2019-01-04), and further extended in commits 2a7c16c980 ("t6422, t6426: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving renames", 2020-08-10) and e8eb99d4a6 ("t642[23]: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving pair renames", 2020-08-10) * making rename/delete more consistent with modify/delete as done in commits 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) and 727c75b23f ("t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend", 2020-10-26) Since the set of relevant_sources we compute has not yet been narrowed down for directory rename detection, we do not pass it to diffcore_rename_extended() yet. That will be done after subsequent commits narrow down the list of relevant_sources needed for directory rename detection reasons.

This leads to the following important observation: * If the other side does not add any new files under the old directory, we do not need to detect any renames for that directory. Similarly, directory rename detection had an important requirement: * If a directory still exists on one side of history, it has not been renamed on that side of history. (See section 4 of t6423 or Documentation/technical/directory-rename-detection.txt for more details). Using these two bits of information, we note that directory rename detection is only needed in cases where (1) directories exist in the merge base and on one side of history (i.e. dirmask == 3 or dirmask == 5), and (2) where there is some new file added to that directory on the side where it still exists (thus where the file has filemask == 2 or filemask == 4, respectively). This has to be done in two steps, because we have the dirmask when we are first considering the directory, and won't get the filemasks for the files within it until we recurse into that directory. So, we save dir_rename_mask = dirmask - 1 when we hit a directory that is missing on one side, and then later look for cases of filemask == dir_rename_mask One final note is that as soon as we hit a directory that needs directory rename detection, we will need to detect renames in all subdirectories of that directory as well due to the "majority rules" decision when files are renamed into different directory hierarchies. We arbitrarily use the special value of 0x07 to record when we've hit such a directory. The combination of all the above mean that we introduce a variable named dir_rename_mask (couldn't think of a better name) which has one of the following values as we traverse into a directory: * 0x00: directory rename detection not needed * 0x02 or 0x04: directory rename detection only needed if files added * 0x07: directory rename detection definitely needed We then pass this value through to add_pairs() so that it can mark location_relevant as true only when dir_rename_mask is 0x07.

merge-ort: call diffcore_rename() directly We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal), that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then call diffcore_rename() directly. This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway. However... For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 13.294 s ± 0.103 s 12.775 s ± 0.062 s mega-renames: 187.248 s ± 0.882 s 188.754 s ± 0.284 s just-one-mega: 5.557 s ± 0.017 s 5.599 s ± 0.019 s Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible When there are many renames between the old base of a series of commits and the new base, the way sequencer.c, merge-recursive.c, and diffcore-rename.c have traditionally split the work resulted in redetecting the same renames with each and every commit being transplanted. To address this, the last several commits have been creating a cache of rename detection results, determining when it was safe to use such a cache in subsequent merge operations, adding helper functions, and so on. See the previous half dozen commit messages for additional discussion of this optimization, particularly the message a few commits ago entitled "add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused". This commit finally ties all of that work together, modifying the merge algorithm to make use of these cached renames. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 5.665 s ± 0.129 s 5.622 s ± 0.059 s mega-renames: 11.435 s ± 0.158 s 10.127 s ± 0.073 s just-one-mega: 494.2 ms ± 6.1 ms 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms That's a fairly small improvement, but mostly because the previous optimizations were so effective for these particular testcases; this optimization only kicks in when the others don't. If we undid the basename-guided rename detection and skip-irrelevant-renames optimizations, then we'd see that this series by itself improved performance as follows: Before Basename Series After Just This Series no-renames: 13.815 s ± 0.062 s 5.697 s ± 0.080 s mega-renames: 1799.937 s ± 0.493 s 205.709 s ± 0.457 s Since this optimization kicks in to help accelerate cases where the previous optimizations do not apply, this last comparison shows that this cached-renames optimization has the potential to help signficantly in cases that don't meet the requirements for the other optimizations to be effective. The changes made in this optimization also lay some important groundwork for a future optimization around having collect_merge_info() avoid recursing into subtrees in more cases. However, for this optimization to be effective, merge_switch_to_result() should only be called when the rebase or cherry-pick operation has either completed or hit a case where the user needs to resolve a conflict or edit the result. If it is called after every commit, as sequencer.c does, then the working tree and index are needlessly updated with every commit and the cached metadata is tossed, defeating this optimization. Refactoring sequencer.c to only call merge_switch_to_result() at the end of the operation is a bigger undertaking, and the practical benefits of this optimization will not be realized until that work is performed. Since `test-tool fast-rebase` only updates at the end of the operation, it was used to obtain the timings above.

merge-ort: precompute subset of sources for which we need rename detection rename detection works by trying to pair all file deletions (or "sources") with all file additions (or "destinations"), checking similarity, and then marking the sufficiently similar ones as renames. This can be expensive if there are many sources and destinations on a given side of history as it results in an N x M comparison matrix. However, there are many cases where we can compute in advance that detecting renames for some of the sources provides no useful information and thus that we can exclude those sources from the matrix. To see why, first note that the merge machinery uses detected renames in two ways: * directory rename detection: when one side of history renames a directory, and the other side of history adds new files to that directory, we want to be able to warn the user about the need to chose whether those new files stay in the old directory or move to the new one. * three-way content merging: in order to do three-way content merging of files, we need three different file versions. If one side of history renamed a file, then some of the content for the file is found under a different path than in the merge base or on the other side of history. Add a simple testcase showing the two kinds of reasons renames are relevant; it's a testcase that will only pass if we detect both kinds of needed renames. Other than the testcase added above, this commit concentrates just on the three-way content merging; it will punt and mark all sources as needed for directory rename detection, and leave it to future commits to narrow that down more. The point of three-way content merging is to reconcile changes made on *both* sides of history. What if the file wasn't modified on both sides? There are two possibilities: * If it wasn't modified on the renamed side: -> then we get to do exact rename detection, which is cheap. * If it wasn't modified on the unrenamed side: -> then detection of a rename for that source file is irrelevant That latter claim might be surprising at first, so let's walk through a case to show why rename detection for that source file is irrelevant. Let's use two filenames, old.c & new.c, with the following abbreviated object ids (and where the value '000000' is used to denote that the file is missing in that commit): old.c new.c MERGE_BASE: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE1: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE2: 000000 5e1ec7 If the rename *isn't* detected: then old.c looks like it was unmodified on one side and deleted on the other and should thus be removed. new.c looks like a new file we should keep as-is. If the rename *is* detected: then a three-way content merge is done. Since the version of the file in MERGE_BASE and MERGE_SIDE1 are identical, the three-way merge will produce exactly the version of the file whose abbreviated object id is 5e1ec7. It will record that file at the path new.c, while removing old.c from the directory. Note that these two results are identical -- a single file named 'new.c' with object id 5e1ec7. In other words, it doesn't matter if the rename is detected in the case where the file is unmodified on the unrenamed side. Use this information to compute whether we need rename detection for each source created in add_pair(). It's probably worth noting that there used to be a few other edge or corner cases besides three-way content merges and directory rename detection where lack of rename detection could have affected the result, but those cases actually highlighted where conflict resolution methods were not consistent with each other. Fixing those inconsistencies were thus critically important to enabling this optimization. That work involved the following: * bringing consistency to add/add, rename/add, and rename/rename conflict types, as done back in the topic merged at commit ac193e0e0a ("Merge branch 'en/merge-path-collision'", 2019-01-04), and further extended in commits 2a7c16c980 ("t6422, t6426: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving renames", 2020-08-10) and e8eb99d4a6 ("t642[23]: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving pair renames", 2020-08-10) * making rename/delete more consistent with modify/delete as done in commits 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) and 727c75b23f ("t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend", 2020-10-26) Since the set of relevant_sources we compute has not yet been narrowed down for directory rename detection, we do not pass it to diffcore_rename_extended() yet. That will be done after subsequent commits narrow down the list of relevant_sources needed for directory rename detection reasons.

This can be expensive if there are many sources and destinations on a given side of history as it results in an N x M comparison matrix. However, there are many cases where we can compute in advance that detecting renames for some of the sources provides no useful information and thus that we can exclude those sources from the matrix. To see why, first note that the merge machinery uses detected renames in two ways: * directory rename detection: when one side of history renames a directory, and the other side of history adds new files to that directory, we want to be able to warn the user about the need to chose whether those new files stay in the old directory or move to the new one. * three-way content merging: in order to do three-way content merging of files, we need three different file versions. If one side of history renamed a file, then some of the content for the file is found under a different path than in the merge base or on the other side of history. Add a simple testcase showing the two kinds of reasons renames are relevant; it's a testcase that will only pass if we detect both kinds of needed renames. Other than the testcase added above, this commit concentrates just on the three-way content merging; it will punt and mark all sources as needed for directory rename detection, and leave it to future commits to narrow that down more. The point of three-way content merging is to reconcile changes made on *both* sides of history. What if the file wasn't modified on both sides? There are two possibilities: * If it wasn't modified on the renamed side: -> then we get to do exact rename detection, which is cheap. * If it wasn't modified on the unrenamed side: -> then detection of a rename for that source file is irrelevant That latter claim might be surprising at first, so let's walk through a case to show why rename detection for that source file is irrelevant. Let's use two filenames, old.c & new.c, with the following abbreviated object ids (and where the value '000000' is used to denote that the file is missing in that commit): old.c new.c MERGE_BASE: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE1: 01d01d 000000 MERGE_SIDE2: 000000 5e1ec7 If the rename *isn't* detected: then old.c looks like it was unmodified on one side and deleted on the other and should thus be removed. new.c looks like a new file we should keep as-is. If the rename *is* detected: then a three-way content merge is done. Since the version of the file in MERGE_BASE and MERGE_SIDE1 are identical, the three-way merge will produce exactly the version of the file whose abbreviated object id is 5e1ec7. It will record that file at the path new.c, while removing old.c from the directory. Note that these two results are identical -- a single file named 'new.c' with object id 5e1ec7. In other words, it doesn't matter if the rename is detected in the case where the file is unmodified on the unrenamed side. Use this information to compute whether we need rename detection for each source created in add_pair(). It's probably worth noting that there used to be a few other edge or corner cases besides three-way content merges and directory rename detection where lack of rename detection could have affected the result, but those cases actually highlighted where conflict resolution methods were not consistent with each other. Fixing those inconsistencies were thus critically important to enabling this optimization. That work involved the following: * bringing consistency to add/add, rename/add, and rename/rename conflict types, as done back in the topic merged at commit ac193e0e0a ("Merge branch 'en/merge-path-collision'", 2019-01-04), and further extended in commits 2a7c16c980 ("t6422, t6426: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving renames", 2020-08-10) and e8eb99d4a6 ("t642[23]: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving pair renames", 2020-08-10) * making rename/delete more consistent with modify/delete as done in commits 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) and 727c75b23f ("t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend", 2020-10-26) Since the set of relevant_sources we compute has not yet been narrowed down for directory rename detection, we do not pass it to diffcore_rename_extended() yet. That will be done after subsequent commits narrow down the list of relevant_sources needed for directory rename detection reasons.

merge-ort: precompute whether directory rename detection is needed The point of directory rename detection is that if one side of history renames a directory, and the other side adds new files under the old directory, then the merge can move those new files into the new directory. This leads to the following important observation: * If the other side does not add any new files under the old directory, we do not need to detect any renames for that directory. Similarly, directory rename detection had an important requirement: * If a directory still exists on one side of history, it has not been renamed on that side of history. (See section 4 of t6423 or Documentation/technical/directory-rename-detection.txt for more details). Using these two bits of information, we note that directory rename detection is only needed in cases where (1) directories exist in the merge base and on one side of history (i.e. dirmask == 3 or dirmask == 5), and (2) where there is some new file added to that directory on the side where it still exists (thus where the file has filemask == 2 or filemask == 4, respectively). This has to be done in two steps, because we have the dirmask when we are first considering the directory, and won't get the filemasks for the files within it until we recurse into that directory. So, we save dir_rename_mask = dirmask - 1 when we hit a directory that is missing on one side, and then later look for cases of filemask == dir_rename_mask One final note is that as soon as we hit a directory that needs directory rename detection, we will need to detect renames in all subdirectories of that directory as well due to the "majority rules" decision when files are renamed into different directory hierarchies. We arbitrarily use the special value of 0x07 to record when we've hit such a directory. The combination of all the above mean that we introduce a variable named dir_rename_mask (couldn't think of a better name) which has one of the following values as we traverse into a directory: * 0x00: directory rename detection not needed * 0x02 or 0x04: directory rename detection only needed if files added * 0x07: directory rename detection definitely needed We then pass this value through to add_pairs() so that it can mark location_relevant as true only when dir_rename_mask is 0x07.

Since the version of the file in MERGE_BASE and MERGE_SIDE1 are identical, the three-way merge will produce exactly the version of the file whose abbreviated object id is 5e1ec7.

In other words, it doesn't matter if the rename is detected in the case where the file is unmodified on the unrenamed side. Use this information to compute whether we need rename detection for each source created in add_pair(). It's probably worth noting that there used to be a few other edge or corner cases besides three-way content merges and directory rename detection where lack of rename detection could have affected the result, but those cases actually highlighted where conflict resolution methods were not consistent with each other.

In other words, it doesn't matter if the rename is detected in the case where the file is unmodified on the unrenamed side. Use this information to compute whether we need rename detection for each source created in add_pair(). It's probably worth noting that there used to be a few other edge or corner cases besides three-way content merges and directory rename detection where lack of rename detection could have affected the result, but those cases actually highlighted where conflict resolution methods were not consistent with each other. Fixing those inconsistencies were thus critically important to enabling this optimization. That work involved the following: * bringing consistency to add/add, rename/add, and rename/rename conflict types, as done back in the topic merged at commit ac193e0e0a ("Merge branch 'en/merge-path-collision'", 2019-01-04), and further extended in commits 2a7c16c980 ("t6422, t6426: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving renames", 2020-08-10) and e8eb99d4a6 ("t642[23]: be more flexible for add/add conflicts involving pair renames", 2020-08-10) * making rename/delete more consistent with modify/delete as done in commits 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) and 727c75b23f ("t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend", 2020-10-26) Since the set of relevant_sources we compute has not yet been narrowed down for directory rename detection, we do not pass it to diffcore_rename_extended() yet. That will be done after subsequent commits narrow down the list of relevant_sources needed for directory rename detection reasons.

merge-ort: precompute whether directory rename detection is needed The point of directory rename detection is that if one side of history renames a directory, and the other side adds new files under the old directory, then the merge can move those new files into the new directory. This leads to the following important observation: * If the other side does not add any new files under the old directory, we do not need to detect any renames for that directory. Similarly, directory rename detection had an important requirement: * If a directory still exists on one side of history, it has not been renamed on that side of history. (See section 4 of t6423 or Documentation/technical/directory-rename-detection.txt for more details). Using these two bits of information, we note that directory rename detection is only needed in cases where (1) directories exist in the merge base and on one side of history (i.e. dirmask == 3 or dirmask == 5), and (2) where there is some new file added to that directory on the side where it still exists (thus where the file has filemask == 2 or filemask == 4, respectively). This has to be done in two steps, because we have the dirmask when we are first considering the directory, and won't get the filemasks for the files within it until we recurse into that directory. So, we save dir_rename_mask = dirmask - 1 when we hit a directory that is missing on one side, and then later look for cases of filemask == dir_rename_mask One final note is that as soon as we hit a directory that needs directory rename detection, we will need to detect renames in all subdirectories of that directory as well due to the "majority rules" decision when files are renamed into different directory hierarchies. We arbitrarily use the special value of 0x07 to record when we've hit such a directory. The combination of all the above mean that we introduce a variable named dir_rename_mask (couldn't think of a better name) which has one of the following values as we traverse into a directory: * 0x00: directory rename detection not needed * 0x02 or 0x04: directory rename detection only needed if files added * 0x07: directory rename detection definitely needed We then pass this value through to add_pairs() so that it can mark location_relevant as true only when dir_rename_mask is 0x07.

merge-ort: call diffcore_rename() directly We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal), that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then call diffcore_rename() directly. This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway. However... For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 13.294 s ± 0.103 s 12.775 s ± 0.062 s mega-renames: 187.248 s ± 0.882 s 188.754 s ± 0.284 s just-one-mega: 5.557 s ± 0.017 s 5.599 s ± 0.019 s Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: avoid recursing into directories when we don't need to This combines the work of the last several patches, and implements the conditions when we don't need to recurse into directories. It's perhaps easiest to see the logic by separating the fact that a directory might have both rename sources and rename destinations: * rename sources: only files present in the merge base can serve as rename sources, and only when one side deletes that file. When the tree on one side matches the merge base, that means every file within the subtree matches the merge base. This means that the skip-irrelevant-rename-detection optimization from before kicks in and we don't need any of these files as rename sources. * rename destinations: the tree that does not match the merge base might have newly added and hence unmatched destination files. This is what usually prevents us from doing trivial directory resolutions in the merge machinery. However, the fact that we have deferred recursing into this directory until the end means we know whether there are any unmatched relevant potential rename sources elsewhere in this merge. If there are no unmatched such relevant sources anywhere, then there is no need to look for unmatched potential rename destinations to match them with. This informs our algorithm: * Search through relevant_sources; if we have entries, they better all be reflected in cached_pairs or cached_irrelevant, otherwise they represent an unmatched potential rename source (causing the optimization to be disallowed). * For any relevant_source represented in cached_pairs, we do need to to make sure to get the destination for each source, meaning we need to recurse into any ancestor directories of those destinations. * Once we've recursed into all the rename destinations for any relevant_sources in cached_pairs, we can then do the trivial directory resolution for the remaining directories. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 5.235 s ± 0.042 s 205.1 ms ± 3.8 ms mega-renames: 9.419 s ± 0.107 s 1.564 s ± 0.010 s just-one-mega: 480.1 ms ± 3.9 ms 479.5 ms ± 3.9 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames.

However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up).

merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames().

merge-ort: avoid recursing into directories when we don't need to This combines the work of the last several patches, and implements the conditions when we don't need to recurse into directories. It's perhaps easiest to see the logic by separating the fact that a directory might have both rename sources and rename destinations: * rename sources: only files present in the merge base can serve as rename sources, and only when one side deletes that file. When the tree on one side matches the merge base, that means every file within the subtree matches the merge base. This means that the skip-irrelevant-rename-detection optimization from before kicks in and we don't need any of these files as rename sources. * rename destinations: the tree that does not match the merge base might have newly added and hence unmatched destination files. This is what usually prevents us from doing trivial directory resolutions in the merge machinery. However, the fact that we have deferred recursing into this directory until the end means we know whether there are any unmatched relevant potential rename sources elsewhere in this merge. If there are no unmatched such relevant sources anywhere, then there is no need to look for unmatched potential rename destinations to match them with. This informs our algorithm: * Search through relevant_sources; if we have entries, they better all be reflected in cached_pairs or cached_irrelevant, otherwise they represent an unmatched potential rename source (causing the optimization to be disallowed). * For any relevant_source represented in cached_pairs, we do need to to make sure to get the destination for each source, meaning we need to recurse into any ancestor directories of those destinations. * Once we've recursed into all the rename destinations for any relevant_sources in cached_pairs, we can then do the trivial directory resolution for the remaining directories.

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: have ll_merge() use a special attr_index for renormalization ll_merge() needs an index when renormalization is requested. Create one specifically for just this purpose with just the one needed entry. This fixes t6418.4 and t6418.5 under GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort. NOTE 1: Even if the user has a working copy or a real index (which is not a given as merge-ort can be used in bare repositories), we explicitly ignore any .gitattributes file from either of these locations. merge-ort can be used to merge two branches that are unrelated to HEAD, so .gitattributes from the working copy and current index should not be considered relevant. NOTE 2: Since we are in the middle of merging, there is a risk that .gitattributes itself is conflicted...leaving us with an ill-defined situation about how to perform the rest of the merge. It could be that the .gitattributes file does not even exist on one of the sides of the merge, or that it has been modified on both sides. If it's been modified on both sides, it's possible that it could itself be merged cleanly, though it's also possible that it only merges cleanly if you use the right version of the .gitattributes file to drive the merge. It gets kind of complicated. The only test we ever had that attempted to test behavior in this area was seemingly unaware of the undefined behavior, but knew the test wouldn't work for lack of attribute handling support, marked it as test_expect_failure from the beginning, but managed to fail for several reasons unrelated to attribute handling. See commit 6f6e7cfb52 ("t6038: remove problematic test", 2020-08-03) for details. So there are probably various ways to improve what initialize_attr_index() picks in the case of a conflicted .gitattributes but for now I just implemented something simple -- look for whatever .gitattributes file we can find in any of the higher order stages and use it.

merge-ort: add implementation of rename/delete conflicts Implement rename/delete conflicts, i.e. one side renames a file and the other deletes the file. This code replaces the following from merge-recurisve.c: * the code relevant to RENAME_DELETE in process_renames() * the RENAME_DELETE case of process_entry() * handle_rename_delete() Also, there is some shared code from merge-recursive.c for multiple different rename cases which we will no longer need for this case (or other rename cases): * handle_change_delete() * setup_rename_conflict_info() The consolidation of five separate codepaths into one is made possible by a change in design: process_renames() tweaks the conflict_info entries within opt->priv->paths such that process_entry() can then handle all the non-rename conflict types (directory/file, modify/delete, etc.) orthogonally. This means we're much less likely to miss special implementation of some kind of combination of conflict types (see commits brought in by 66c62eaec6 ("Merge branch 'en/merge-tests'", 2020-11-18), especially commit ef52778708 ("merge tests: expect improved directory/file conflict handling in ort", 2020-10-26) for more details). That, together with letting worktree/index updating be handled orthogonally in the merge_switch_to_result() function, dramatically simplifies the code for various special rename cases. To be fair, there is a _slight_ tweak to process_entry() here, because rename/delete cases will also trigger the modify/delete codepath. However, we only want a modify/delete message to be printed for a rename/delete conflict if there is a content change in the renamed file in addition to the rename. So process_renames() and process_entry() aren't quite fully orthogonal, but they are pretty close. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This means we're much less likely to miss special implementation of some kind of combination of conflict types (see commits brought in by 66c62eaec6 ("Merge branch 'en/merge-tests'", 2020-11-18), especially commit ef52778708 ("merge tests: expect improved directory/file conflict handling in ort", 2020-10-26) for more details). That, together with letting worktree/index updating be handled orthogonally in the merge_switch_to_result() function, dramatically simplifies the code for various special rename cases. To be fair, there is a _slight_ tweak to process_entry() here to make sure that the two different paths aren't marked as clean but are left in a conflicted state.

merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible When there are many renames between the old base of a series of commits and the new base, the way sequencer.c, merge-recursive.c, and diffcore-rename.c have traditionally split the work resulted in redetecting the same renames with each and every commit being transplanted. To address this, the last several commits have been creating a cache of rename detection results, determining when it was safe to use such a cache in subsequent merge operations, adding helper functions, and so on. See the previous half dozen commit messages for additional discussion of this optimization, particularly the message a few commits ago entitled "add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused". This commit finally ties all of that work together, modifying the merge algorithm to make use of these cached renames. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 5.665 s ± 0.129 s 5.622 s ± 0.059 s mega-renames: 11.435 s ± 0.158 s 10.127 s ± 0.073 s just-one-mega: 494.2 ms ± 6.1 ms 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms That's a fairly small improvement, but mostly because the previous optimizations were so effective for these particular testcases; this optimization only kicks in when the others don't. If we undid the basename-guided rename detection and skip-irrelevant-renames optimizations, then we'd see that this series by itself improved performance as follows: Before Basename Series After Just This Series no-renames: 13.815 s ± 0.062 s 5.697 s ± 0.080 s mega-renames: 1799.937 s ± 0.493 s 205.709 s ± 0.457 s Since this optimization kicks in to help accelerate cases where the previous optimizations do not apply, this last comparison shows that this cached-renames optimization has the potential to help signficantly in cases that don't meet the requirements for the other optimizations to be effective. The changes made in this optimization also lay some important groundwork for a future optimization around having collect_merge_info() avoid recursing into subtrees in more cases. However, for this optimization to be effective, merge_switch_to_result() should only be called when the rebase or cherry-pick operation has either completed or hit a case where the user needs to resolve a conflict or edit the result. If it is called after every commit, as sequencer.c does, then the working tree and index are needlessly updated with every commit and the cached metadata is tossed, defeating this optimization. Refactoring sequencer.c to only call merge_switch_to_result() at the end of the operation is a bigger undertaking, and the practical benefits of this optimization will not be realized until that work is performed. Since `test-tool fast-rebase` only updates at the end of the operation, it was used to obtain the timings above.

merge-ort: call diffcore_rename() directly We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal), that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then call diffcore_rename() directly. This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway.

merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit. But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at all. Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one. It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for correctness. However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much faster due to having far fewer entries to process. This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2; but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3, we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best anyway.) Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100 lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things work.

merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible When there are many renames between the old base of a series of commits and the new base, the way sequencer.c, merge-recursive.c, and diffcore-rename.c have traditionally split the work resulted in redetecting the same renames with each and every commit being transplanted. To address this, the last several commits have been creating a cache of rename detection results, determining when it was safe to use such a cache in subsequent merge operations, adding helper functions, and so on. See the previous half dozen commit messages for additional discussion of this optimization, particularly the message a few commits ago entitled "add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused". This commit finally ties all of that work together, modifying the merge algorithm to make use of these cached renames. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 5.665 s ± 0.129 s 5.622 s ± 0.059 s mega-renames: 11.435 s ± 0.158 s 10.127 s ± 0.073 s just-one-mega: 494.2 ms ± 6.1 ms 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms That's a fairly small improvement, but mostly because the previous optimizations were so effective for these particular testcases; this optimization only kicks in when the others don't. If we undid the basename-guided rename detection and skip-irrelevant-renames optimizations, then we'd see that this series by itself improved performance as follows: Before Basename Series After Just This Series no-renames: 13.815 s ± 0.062 s 5.697 s ± 0.080 s mega-renames: 1799.937 s ± 0.493 s 205.709 s ± 0.457 s Since this optimization kicks in to help accelerate cases where the previous optimizations do not apply, this last comparison shows that this cached-renames optimization has the potential to help signficantly in cases that don't meet the requirements for the other optimizations to be effective. The changes made in this optimization also lay some important groundwork for a future optimization around having collect_merge_info() avoid recursing into subtrees in more cases. However, for this optimization to be effective, merge_switch_to_result() should only be called when the rebase or cherry-pick operation has either completed or hit a case where the user needs to resolve a conflict or edit the result. If it is called after every commit, as sequencer.c does, then the working tree and index are needlessly updated with every commit and the cached metadata is tossed, defeating this optimization. Refactoring sequencer.c to only call merge_switch_to_result() at the end of the operation is a bigger undertaking, and the practical benefits of this optimization will not be realized until that work is performed. Since `test-tool fast-rebase` only updates at the end of the operation, it was used to obtain the timings above.

rename: bump limit defaults yet again These were last bumped in commit 92c57e5c1d29 (bump rename limit defaults (again), 2011-02-19), and were bumped both because processors had gotten faster, and because people were getting ugly merges that caused problems and reporting it to the mailing list (suggesting that folks were willing to spend more time waiting). Since that time: * Linus has continued recommending kernel folks to set diff.renameLimit=0 (maps to 32767, currently) * Folks with repositories with lots of renames were happy to set merge.renameLimit above 32767, once the code supported that, to get correct cherry-picks * Processors have gotten faster * It has been discovered that the timing methodology used last time probably used too large example files. The last point is probably worth explaining a bit more: * The "average" file size used appears to have been average blob size in the linux kernel history at the time (probably v2.6.25 or something close to it). * Since bigger files are modified more frequently, such a computation weights towards larger files. * Larger files may be more likely to be modified over time, but are not more likely to be renamed -- the mean and median blob size within a tree are a bit higher than the mean and median of blob sizes in the history leading up to that version for the linux kernel. * The mean blob size in v2.6.25 was half the average blob size in history leading to that point * The median blob size in v2.6.25 was about 40% of the mean blob size in v2.6.25. * Since the mean blob size is more than double the median blob size, any file as big as the mean will not be compared to any files of median size or less (because they'd be more than 50% dissimilar). * Since it is the number of files compared that provides the O(n^2) behavior, median-sized files should matter more than mean-sized ones. The combined effect of the above is that the file size used in past calculations was likely about 5x too large. Combine that with a CPU performance improvement of ~30%, and we can increase the limits by a factor of sqrt(5/(1-.3)) = 2.67, while keeping the original stated time limits. Keeping the same approximate time limit probably makes sense for diff.renameLimit (there is no progress feedback in e.g. git log -p), but the experience above suggests merge.renameLimit could be extended significantly. In fact, it probably would make sense to have an unlimited default setting for merge.renameLimit, but that would likely need to be coupled with changes to how progress is displayed. (See https://lore.kernel.org/git/YOx+Ok%2FEYvLqRMzJ@coredump.intra.peff.net/ for details in that area.) For now, let's just bump the approximate time limit from 10s to 1m. (Note: We do not want to use actual time limits, because getting results that depend on how loaded your system is that day feels bad, and because we don't discover that we won't get all the renames until after we've put in a lot of work rather than just upfront telling the user there are too many files involved.) Using the original time limit of 2s for diff.renameLimit, and bumping merge.renameLimit from 10s to 60s, I found the following timings using the simple script at the end of this commit message (on an AWS c5.xlarge which reports as "Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8124M CPU @ 3.00GHz"): N Timing 1300 1.995s 7100 59.973s So let's round down to nice even numbers and bump the limits from 400->1000, and from 1000->7000.

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: call diffcore_rename() directly We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal), that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then call diffcore_rename() directly. This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway.

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible When there are many renames between the old base of a series of commits and the new base, the way sequencer.c, merge-recursive.c, and diffcore-rename.c have traditionally split the work resulted in redetecting the same renames with each and every commit being transplanted. To address this, the last several commits have been creating a cache of rename detection results, determining when it was safe to use such a cache in subsequent merge operations, adding helper functions, and so on. See the previous half dozen commit messages for additional discussion of this optimization, particularly the message a few commits ago entitled "add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused". This commit finally ties all of that work together, modifying the merge algorithm to make use of these cached renames. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 5.665 s ± 0.129 s 5.622 s ± 0.059 s mega-renames: 11.435 s ± 0.158 s 10.127 s ± 0.073 s just-one-mega: 494.2 ms ± 6.1 ms 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms That's a fairly small improvement, but mostly because the previous optimizations were so effective for these particular testcases; this optimization only kicks in when the others don't. If we undid the basename-guided rename detection and skip-irrelevant-renames optimizations, then we'd see that this series by itself improved performance as follows: Before Basename Series After Just This Series no-renames: 13.815 s ± 0.062 s 5.697 s ± 0.080 s mega-renames: 1799.937 s ± 0.493 s 205.709 s ± 0.457 s Since this optimization kicks in to help accelerate cases where the previous optimizations do not apply, this last comparison shows that this cached-renames optimization has the potential to help signficantly in cases that don't meet the requirements for the other optimizations to be effective. The changes made in this optimization also lay some important groundwork for a future optimization around having collect_merge_info() avoid recursing into subtrees in more cases. However, for this optimization to be effective, merge_switch_to_result() should only be called when the rebase or cherry-pick operation has either completed or hit a case where the user needs to resolve a conflict or edit the result. If it is called after every commit, as sequencer.c does, then the working tree and index are needlessly updated with every commit and the cached metadata is tossed, defeating this optimization. Refactoring sequencer.c to only call merge_switch_to_result() at the end of the operation is a bigger undertaking, and the practical benefits of this optimization will not be realized until that work is performed. Since `test-tool fast-rebase` only updates at the end of the operation, it was used to obtain the timings above.

merge-ort: call diffcore_rename() directly We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal), that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then call diffcore_rename() directly. This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway. However...

merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit. But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at all. Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one. It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for correctness. However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much faster due to having far fewer entries to process. This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2; but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3, we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best anyway.) Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100 lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things work.

However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much faster due to having far fewer entries to process. This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2; but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3, we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best anyway.) Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100 lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things work. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 205.1 ms ± 3.8 ms 204.2 ms ± 3.0 ms mega-renames: 1.564 s ± 0.010 s 1.076 s ± 0.015 s just-one-mega: 479.5 ms ± 3.9 ms 364.1 ms ± 7.0 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit. But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at all. Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one. It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for correctness. However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work.

merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible When there are many renames between the old base of a series of commits and the new base, the way sequencer.c, merge-recursive.c, and diffcore-rename.c have traditionally split the work resulted in redetecting the same renames with each and every commit being transplanted. To address this, the last several commits have been creating a cache of rename detection results, determining when it was safe to use such a cache in subsequent merge operations, adding helper functions, and so on. See the previous half dozen commit messages for additional discussion of this optimization, particularly the message a few commits ago entitled "add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused". This commit finally ties all of that work together, modifying the merge algorithm to make use of these cached renames. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 5.665 s ± 0.129 s 5.622 s ± 0.059 s mega-renames: 11.435 s ± 0.158 s 10.127 s ± 0.073 s just-one-mega: 494.2 ms ± 6.1 ms 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms That's a fairly small improvement, but mostly because the previous optimizations were so effective for these particular testcases; this optimization only kicks in when the others don't. If we undid the basename-guided rename detection and skip-irrelevant-renames optimizations, then we'd see that this series by itself improved performance as follows: Before Basename Series After Just This Series no-renames: 13.815 s ± 0.062 s 5.697 s ± 0.080 s mega-renames: 1799.937 s ± 0.493 s 205.709 s ± 0.457 s Since this optimization kicks in to help accelerate cases where the previous optimizations do not apply, this last comparison shows that this cached-renames optimization has the potential to help signficantly in cases that don't meet the requirements for the other optimizations to be effective. The changes made in this optimization also lay some important groundwork for a future optimization around having collect_merge_info() avoid recursing into subtrees in more cases. However, for this optimization to be effective, merge_switch_to_result() should only be called when the rebase or cherry-pick operation has either completed or hit a case where the user needs to resolve a conflict or edit the result. If it is called after every commit, as sequencer.c does, then the working tree and index are needlessly updated with every commit and the cached metadata is tossed, defeating this optimization. Refactoring sequencer.c to only call merge_switch_to_result() at the end of the operation is a bigger undertaking, and the practical benefits of this optimization will not be realized until that work is performed. Since `test-tool fast-rebase` only updates at the end of the operation, it was used to obtain the timings above.

The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive.

We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

Most of the "process_entries setup" time was spent on "plist special sort" which corresponds to the following code: trace2_region_enter("merge", "plist special sort", opt->repo); plist.cmp = string_list_df_name_compare; string_list_sort(&plist); trace2_region_leave("merge", "plist special sort", opt->repo); In other words, in a merge strategy that would be invoked by passing "-sort" to either rebase or merge, sorting an array takes more time than anything else. Serves me right for naming my merge strategy this way. Rewrite the comparison function in a way that does not require finding out the lengths of the strings when comparing them. While at it, tweak the code for our specific case -- no need to handle a variety of modes, for example. The combination of these changes reduced the time spent in "plist special sort" by ~25% in the mega-renames case. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 5.622 s ± 0.059 s 5.235 s ± 0.042 s mega-renames: 10.127 s ± 0.073 s 9.419 s ± 0.107 s just-one-mega: 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms 480.1 ms ± 3.9 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Since we potentially have entries in our string_list corresponding to multiple different toplevel directories, e.g. a slightly different repository might have: whizbang.txt <version_info> "" tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleD <new version_info> src src/moduleC <new version_info> src src/moduleB <new version_info> src src/moduleA/foo.c <version_info> src/moduleA src/moduleA/bar.c <version_info> src/moduleA When src/moduleA is popped off, we need to know that the "last directory" reverts back to src, and how many entries in our string_list are associated with that parent directory. So I use an auxiliary offsets string_list which would have (parent_directory,offset) information of the form "" 0 src 2 src/moduleA 5 Whenever I write out a tree for a subdirectory, I set versions.nr to the final offset value and then decrement offsets.nr...and then add an entry to versions with a hash for the new directory. The idea is relatively simple, there's just a lot of accounting to implement this. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

/*
* Some explanation of info->versions and info->offsets...
*
* process_entries() iterates over all relevant files AND
* directories in reverse lexicographic order, and calls this
* function. Thus, an example of the paths that process_entries()
* could operate on (along with the directories for those paths
* being shown) is:
*
* xtract.c ""
* tokens.txt ""
* src/moduleB/umm.c src/moduleB
* src/moduleB/stuff.h src/moduleB
* src/moduleB/baz.c src/moduleB
* src/moduleB src
* src/moduleA/foo.c src/moduleA
* src/moduleA/bar.c src/moduleA
* src/moduleA src
* src ""
* Makefile ""
*
* info->versions:
*
* always contains the unprocessed entries and their
* version_info information. For example, after the first five
* entries above, info->versions would be:
*
* xtract.c <xtract.c's version_info>
* token.txt <token.txt's version_info>
* umm.c <src/moduleB/umm.c's version_info>
* stuff.h <src/moduleB/stuff.h's version_info>
* baz.c <src/moduleB/baz.c's version_info>
*
* Once a subdirectory is completed we remove the entries in
* that subdirectory from info->versions, writing it as a tree
* (write_tree()). Thus, as soon as we get to src/moduleB,
* info->versions would be updated to
*
* xtract.c <xtract.c's version_info>
* token.txt <token.txt's version_info>
* moduleB <src/moduleB's version_info>
*
* info->offsets:
*
* helps us track which entries in info->versions correspond to
* which directories. When we are N directories deep (e.g. 4
* for src/modA/submod/subdir/), we have up to N+1 unprocessed
* directories (+1 because of toplevel dir). Corresponding to
* the info->versions example above, after processing five entries
* info->offsets will be:
*
* "" 0
* src/moduleB 2
*
* which is used to know that xtract.c & token.txt are from the
* toplevel dirctory, while umm.c & stuff.h & baz.c are from the
* src/moduleB directory. Again, following the example above,
* once we need to process src/moduleB, then info->offsets is
* updated to
*
* "" 0
* src 2
*
* which says that moduleB (and only moduleB so far) is in the
* src directory.
*
* One unique thing to note about info->offsets here is that
* "src" was not added to info->offsets until there was a path
* (a file OR directory) immediately below src/ that got
* processed.
*
* Since process_entry() just appends new entries to info->versions,
* write_completed_directory() only needs to do work if the next path
* is in a directory that is different than the last directory found
* in info->offsets.

merge-ort: add modify/delete handling and delayed output processing The focus here is on adding a path_msg() which will queue up warning/conflict/notice messages about the merge for later processing, storing these in a pathname -> strbuf map. It might seem like a big change, but it really just is: * declaration of necessary map with some comments * initialization and recording of data * a bunch of code to iterate over the map at print/free time * at least one caller in order to avoid an error about having an unused function (which we provide in the form of implementing modify/delete conflict handling). At this stage, it is probably not clear why I am opting for delayed output processing. There are multiple reasons: 1. Merges are supposed to abort if they would overwrite dirty changes in the working tree. We cannot correctly determine whether changes would be overwritten until both rename detection has occurred and full processing of entries with the renames has finalized. Warning/conflict/notice messages come up at intermediate codepaths along the way, so unless we want spurious conflict/warning messages being printed when the merge will be aborted anyway, we need to save these messages and only print them when relevant. 2. There can be multiple messages for a single path, and we want all messages for a give path to appear together instead of having them grouped by conflict/warning type. This was a problem already with merge-recursive.c but became even more important due to the splitting apart of conflict types as discussed in the commit message for 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) 3. Some callers might want to avoid showing the output in certain cases, such as if the end result is a clean merge. Rebases have typically done this. 4. Some callers might not want the output to go to stdout or even stderr, but might want to do something else with it entirely. For example, a --remerge-diff option to `git show` or `git log -p` that remerges on the fly and diffs merge commits against the remerged version would benefit from stdout/stderr not being written to in the standard form.

This means we're much less likely to miss special implementation of some kind of combination of conflict types (see commits brought in by 66c62eaec6 ("Merge branch 'en/merge-tests'", 2020-11-18), especially commit ef52778708 ("merge tests: expect improved directory/file conflict handling in ort", 2020-10-26) for more details). That, together with letting worktree/index updating be handled orthogonally in the merge_switch_to_result() function, dramatically simplifies the code for various special rename cases. To be fair, there is a _slight_ tweak to process_entry() here, because rename/delete cases will also trigger the modify/delete codepath. However, we only want a modify/delete message to be printed for a rename/delete conflict if there is a content change in the renamed file in addition to the rename.

To be fair, there is a _slight_ tweak to process_entry() here to make sure that the two different paths aren't marked as clean but are left in a conflicted state. So process_renames() and process_entry() aren't quite entirely orthogonal, but they are pretty close. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: add prefetching for content merges Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-05) introduced batching of fetching missing blobs, so that the diff machinery would have one fetch subprocess grab N blobs instead of N processes each grabbing 1. However, the diff machinery is not the only thing in a merge that needs to work on blobs. The 3-way content merges need them as well. Rather than download all the blobs 1 at a time, prefetch all the blobs needed for regular content merges. This does not cover all possible paths in merge-ort that might need to download blobs. Others include: - The blob_unchanged() calls to avoid modify/delete conflicts (when blob renormalization results in an "unchanged" file) - Preliminary content merges needed for rename/add and rename/rename(2to1) style conflicts. (Both of these types of conflicts can result in nested conflict markers from the need to do two levels of content merging; the first happens before our new prefetch_for_content_merges() function.) The first of these wouldn't be an extreme amount of work to support, and even the second could be theoretically supported in batching, but all of these cases seem unusual to me, and this is a minor performance optimization anyway; in the worst case we only get some of the fetches batched and have a few additional one-off fetches. So for now, just handle the regular 3-way content merges in our prefetching. For the testcase from the previous commit, the number of downloaded objects remains at 63, but this drops the number of fetches needed from 32 down to 20, a sizeable reduction.

merge-ort: step 3 of tree writing -- handling subdirectories as we go Our order for processing of entries means that if we have a tree of files that looks like Makefile src/moduleA/foo.c src/moduleA/bar.c src/moduleB/baz.c src/moduleB/umm.c tokens.txt Then we will process paths in the order of the leftmost column below. I have added two additional columns that help explain the algorithm that follows; the 2nd column is there to remind us we have oid & mode info we are tracking for each of these paths (which differs between the paths which I'm not representing well here), and the third column annotates the parent directory of the entry: tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleB/umm.c <version_info> src/moduleB src/moduleB/baz.c <version_info> src/moduleB src/moduleB <version_info> src src/moduleA/foo.c <version_info> src/moduleA src/moduleA/bar.c <version_info> src/moduleA src/moduleA <version_info> src src <version_info> "" Makefile <version_info> "" When the parent directory changes, if it's a subdirectory of the previous parent directory (e.g. "" -> src/moduleB) then we can just keep appending. If the parent directory differs from the previous parent directory and is not a subdirectory, then we should process that directory. So, for example, when we get to this point: tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleB/umm.c <version_info> src/moduleB src/moduleB/baz.c <version_info> src/moduleB and note that the next entry (src/moduleB) has a different parent than the last one that isn't a subdirectory, we should write out a tree for it 100644 blob <HASH> umm.c 100644 blob <HASH> baz.c then pop all the entries under that directory while recording the new hash for that directory, leaving us with tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleB <new version_info> src This process repeats until at the end we get to tokens.txt <version_info> "" src <new version_info> "" Makefile <version_info> "" and then we can write out the toplevel tree. Since we potentially have entries in our string_list corresponding to multiple different toplevel directories, e.g. a slightly different repository might have: whizbang.txt <version_info> "" tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleD <new version_info> src src/moduleC <new version_info> src src/moduleB <new version_info> src src/moduleA/foo.c <version_info> src/moduleA src/moduleA/bar.c <version_info> src/moduleA When src/moduleA is popped off, we need to know that the "last directory" reverts back to src, and how many entries in our string_list are associated with that parent directory. So I use an auxiliary offsets string_list which would have (parent_directory,offset) information of the form "" 0 src 2 src/moduleA 5 Whenever I write out a tree for a subdirectory, I set versions.nr to the final offset value and then decrement offsets.nr...and then add an entry to versions with a hash for the new directory. The idea is relatively simple, there's just a lot of accounting to implement this. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone.

merge-ort: replace string_list_df_name_compare with faster alternative Gathering accumulated times from trace2 output on the mega-renames testcase, I saw the following timings (where I'm only showing a few lines to highlight the portions of interest): 10.120 : label:incore_nonrecursive 4.462 : ..label:process_entries 3.143 : ....label:process_entries setup 2.988 : ......label:plist special sort 1.305 : ....label:processing 2.604 : ..label:collect_merge_info 2.018 : ..label:merge_start 1.018 : ..label:renames In the above output, note that the 4.462 seconds for process_entries was split as 3.143 seconds for "process_entries setup" and 1.305 seconds for "processing" (and a little time for other stuff removed from the highlight). Most of the "process_entries setup" time was spent on "plist special sort" which corresponds to the following code: trace2_region_enter("merge", "plist special sort", opt->repo); plist.cmp = string_list_df_name_compare; string_list_sort(&plist); trace2_region_leave("merge", "plist special sort", opt->repo); In other words, in a merge strategy that would be invoked by passing "-sort" to either rebase or merge, sorting an array takes more time than anything else. Serves me right for naming my merge strategy this way. Rewrite the comparison function in a way that does not require finding out the lengths of the strings when comparing them. While at it, tweak the code for our specific case -- no need to handle a variety of modes, for example. The combination of these changes reduced the time spent in "plist special sort" by ~25% in the mega-renames case.

If the parent directory differs from the previous parent directory and is not a subdirectory, then we should process that directory. So, for example, when we get to this point: tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleB/umm.c <version_info> src/moduleB src/moduleB/baz.c <version_info> src/moduleB and note that the next entry (src/moduleB) has a different parent than the last one that isn't a subdirectory, we should write out a tree for it 100644 blob <HASH> umm.c 100644 blob <HASH> baz.c then pop all the entries under that directory while recording the new hash for that directory, leaving us with tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleB <new version_info> src This process repeats until at the end we get to tokens.txt <version_info> "" src <new version_info> "" Makefile <version_info> "" and then we can write out the toplevel tree. Since we potentially have entries in our string_list corresponding to multiple different toplevel directories, e.g. a slightly different repository might have: whizbang.txt <version_info> "" tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleD <new version_info> src src/moduleC <new version_info> src src/moduleB <new version_info> src src/moduleA/foo.c <version_info> src/moduleA src/moduleA/bar.c <version_info> src/moduleA When src/moduleA is popped off, we need to know that the "last directory" reverts back to src, and how many entries in our string_list are associated with that parent directory. So I use an auxiliary offsets string_list which would have (parent_directory,offset) information of the form "" 0 src 2 src/moduleA 5 Whenever I write out a tree for a subdirectory, I set versions.nr to the final offset value and then decrement offsets.nr...and then add an entry to versions with a hash for the new directory.

merge-ort: add prefetching for content merges Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-05) introduced batching of fetching missing blobs, so that the diff machinery would have one fetch subprocess grab N blobs instead of N processes each grabbing 1. However, the diff machinery is not the only thing in a merge that needs to work on blobs. The 3-way content merges need them as well. Rather than download all the blobs 1 at a time, prefetch all the blobs needed for regular content merges. This does not cover all possible paths in merge-ort that might need to download blobs. Others include: - The blob_unchanged() calls to avoid modify/delete conflicts (when blob renormalization results in an "unchanged" file) - Preliminary content merges needed for rename/add and rename/rename(2to1) style conflicts. (Both of these types of conflicts can result in nested conflict markers from the need to do two levels of content merging; the first happens before our new prefetch_for_content_merges() function.) The first of these wouldn't be an extreme amount of work to support, and even the second could be theoretically supported in batching, but all of these cases seem unusual to me, and this is a minor performance optimization anyway; in the worst case we only get some of the fetches batched and have a few additional one-off fetches. So for now, just handle the regular 3-way content merges in our prefetching. For the testcase from the previous commit, the number of downloaded objects remains at 63, but this drops the number of fetches needed from 32 down to 20, a sizeable reduction.

The idea is relatively simple, there's just a lot of accounting to implement this. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: step 3 of tree writing -- handling subdirectories as we go Our order for processing of entries means that if we have a tree of files that looks like Makefile src/moduleA/foo.c src/moduleA/bar.c src/moduleB/baz.c src/moduleB/umm.c tokens.txt Then we will process paths in the order of the leftmost column below. I have added two additional columns that help explain the algorithm that follows; the 2nd column is there to remind us we have oid & mode info we are tracking for each of these paths (which differs between the paths which I'm not representing well here), and the third column annotates the parent directory of the entry: tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleB/umm.c <version_info> src/moduleB src/moduleB/baz.c <version_info> src/moduleB src/moduleB <version_info> src src/moduleA/foo.c <version_info> src/moduleA src/moduleA/bar.c <version_info> src/moduleA src/moduleA <version_info> src src <version_info> "" Makefile <version_info> "" When the parent directory changes, if it's a subdirectory of the previous parent directory (e.g. "" -> src/moduleB) then we can just keep appending. If the parent directory differs from the previous parent directory and is not a subdirectory, then we should process that directory. So, for example, when we get to this point: tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleB/umm.c <version_info> src/moduleB src/moduleB/baz.c <version_info> src/moduleB and note that the next entry (src/moduleB) has a different parent than the last one that isn't a subdirectory, we should write out a tree for it 100644 blob <HASH> umm.c 100644 blob <HASH> baz.c then pop all the entries under that directory while recording the new hash for that directory, leaving us with tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleB <new version_info> src This process repeats until at the end we get to tokens.txt <version_info> "" src <new version_info> "" Makefile <version_info> "" and then we can write out the toplevel tree. Since we potentially have entries in our string_list corresponding to multiple different toplevel directories, e.g. a slightly different repository might have: whizbang.txt <version_info> "" tokens.txt <version_info> "" src/moduleD <new version_info> src src/moduleC <new version_info> src src/moduleB <new version_info> src src/moduleA/foo.c <version_info> src/moduleA src/moduleA/bar.c <version_info> src/moduleA When src/moduleA is popped off, we need to know that the "last directory" reverts back to src, and how many entries in our string_list are associated with that parent directory.

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: add modify/delete handling and delayed output processing The focus here is on adding a path_msg() which will queue up warning/conflict/notice messages about the merge for later processing, storing these in a pathname -> strbuf map. It might seem like a big change, but it really just is: * declaration of necessary map with some comments * initialization and recording of data * a bunch of code to iterate over the map at print/free time * at least one caller in order to avoid an error about having an unused function (which we provide in the form of implementing modify/delete conflict handling). At this stage, it is probably not clear why I am opting for delayed output processing. There are multiple reasons: 1. Merges are supposed to abort if they would overwrite dirty changes in the working tree. We cannot correctly determine whether changes would be overwritten until both rename detection has occurred and full processing of entries with the renames has finalized. Warning/conflict/notice messages come up at intermediate codepaths along the way, so unless we want spurious conflict/warning messages being printed when the merge will be aborted anyway, we need to save these messages and only print them when relevant. 2. There can be multiple messages for a single path, and we want all messages for a give path to appear together instead of having them grouped by conflict/warning type. This was a problem already with merge-recursive.c but became even more important due to the splitting apart of conflict types as discussed in the commit message for 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) 3. Some callers might want to avoid showing the output in certain cases, such as if the end result is a clean merge. Rebases have typically done this. 4. Some callers might not want the output to go to stdout or even stderr, but might want to do something else with it entirely. For example, a --remerge-diff option to `git show` or `git log -p` that remerges on the fly and diffs merge commits against the remerged version would benefit from stdout/stderr not being written to in the standard form.

The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

trace2_region_enter("merge", "display messages", opt->repo);
merge-ort: add modify/delete handling and delayed output processing The focus here is on adding a path_msg() which will queue up warning/conflict/notice messages about the merge for later processing, storing these in a pathname -> strbuf map. It might seem like a big change, but it really just is: * declaration of necessary map with some comments * initialization and recording of data * a bunch of code to iterate over the map at print/free time * at least one caller in order to avoid an error about having an unused function (which we provide in the form of implementing modify/delete conflict handling). At this stage, it is probably not clear why I am opting for delayed output processing. There are multiple reasons: 1. Merges are supposed to abort if they would overwrite dirty changes in the working tree. We cannot correctly determine whether changes would be overwritten until both rename detection has occurred and full processing of entries with the renames has finalized. Warning/conflict/notice messages come up at intermediate codepaths along the way, so unless we want spurious conflict/warning messages being printed when the merge will be aborted anyway, we need to save these messages and only print them when relevant. 2. There can be multiple messages for a single path, and we want all messages for a give path to appear together instead of having them grouped by conflict/warning type. This was a problem already with merge-recursive.c but became even more important due to the splitting apart of conflict types as discussed in the commit message for 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) 3. Some callers might want to avoid showing the output in certain cases, such as if the end result is a clean merge. Rebases have typically done this. 4. Some callers might not want the output to go to stdout or even stderr, but might want to do something else with it entirely. For example, a --remerge-diff option to `git show` or `git log -p` that remerges on the fly and diffs merge commits against the remerged version would benefit from stdout/stderr not being written to in the standard form.

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version.

The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: port merge_start() from merge-recursive merge_start() basically does a bunch of sanity checks, then allocates and initializes opt->priv -- a struct merge_options_internal. Most of the sanity checks are usable as-is. The allocation/intialization is a bit different since merge-ort has a very different merge_options_internal than merge-recursive, but the idea is the same. The weirdest part here is that merge-ort and merge-recursive use the same struct merge_options, even though merge_options has a number of fields that are oddly specific to merge-recursive's internal implementation and don't even make sense with merge-ort's high-level design (e.g. buffer_output, which merge-ort has to always do).

merge-ort: use histogram diff In my cursory investigation, histogram diffs are about 2% slower than Myers diffs. Others have probably done more detailed benchmarks. But, in short, histogram diffs have been around for years and in a number of cases provide obviously better looking diffs where Myers diffs are unintelligible but the performance hit has kept them from becoming the default. However, there are real merge bugs we know about that have triggered on git.git and linux.git, which I don't have a clue how to address without the additional information that I believe is provided by histogram diffs. See the following: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190816184051.GB13894@sigill.intra.peff.net/ https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BHvJHpSJT7sdFwfNcPn_sOXwJi3=o14qjZS3M8Rzcxe2A@mail.gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BGtez4qjbtFT1hQoREfcJPmk9MzjhY5eEq1QhXT23tFOw@mail.gmail.com/ I don't like mismerges. I really don't like silent mismerges. While I am sometimes willing to make performance and correctness tradeoff, I'm much more interested in correctness in general. I want to fix the above bugs. I have not yet started doing so, but I believe histogram diff at least gives me an angle. Unfortunately, I can't rely on using the information from histogram diff unless it's in use. And it hasn't been used because of a few percentage performance hit. In testcases I have looked at, merge-ort is _much_ faster than merge-recursive for non-trivial merges/rebases/cherry-picks. As such, this is a golden opportunity to switch out the underlying diff algorithm (at least the one used by the merge machinery; git-diff and git-log are separate questions); doing so will allow me to get additional data and improved diffs, and I believe it will help me fix the above bugs at some point in the future.

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice.

merge-ort: add data structures for allowable trivial directory resolves As noted a few commits ago, we can resolve individual files early if all three sides of the merge have a file at the path and two of the three sides match. We would really like to do the same thing with directories, because being able to do a trivial directory resolve means we don't have to recurse into the directory, potentially saving us a huge amount of time in both collect_merge_info() and process_entries(). Unfortunately, resolving directories early would mean missing any renames whose source or destination is underneath that directory. If we somehow knew there weren't any renames under the directory in question, then we could resolve it early. Sadly, it is impossible to determine whether there are renames under the directory in question without recursing into it, and this has traditionally kept us from ever implementing such an optimization. In commit f89b4f2bee ("merge-ort: skip rename detection entirely if possible", 2021-03-11), we added an additional reason that rename detection could be skipped entirely -- namely, if no *relevant* sources were present. Without completing collect_merge_info_callback(), we do not yet know if there are no relevant sources. However, we do know that if the current directory on one side matches the merge base, then every source file within that directory will not be RELEVANT_CONTENT, and a few simple checks can often let us rule out RELEVANT_LOCATION as well. This suggests we can just defer recursing into such directories until the end of collect_merge_info. Since the deferred directories are known to not add any relevant sources due to the above properties, then if there are no relevant sources after we've traversed all paths other than the deferred ones, then we know there are not any relevant sources. Under those conditions, rename detection is unnecessary, and that means we can resolve the deferred directories without recursing into them. Note that the logic for skipping rename detection was also modified further in commit 76e253793c ("merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached renames when possible", 2021-01-30); in particular rename detection can be skipped if we already have cached renames for each relevant source. We can take advantage of this information as well with our deferral of recursing into directories where one side matches the merge base.

merge-ort: add modify/delete handling and delayed output processing The focus here is on adding a path_msg() which will queue up warning/conflict/notice messages about the merge for later processing, storing these in a pathname -> strbuf map. It might seem like a big change, but it really just is: * declaration of necessary map with some comments * initialization and recording of data * a bunch of code to iterate over the map at print/free time * at least one caller in order to avoid an error about having an unused function (which we provide in the form of implementing modify/delete conflict handling). At this stage, it is probably not clear why I am opting for delayed output processing. There are multiple reasons: 1. Merges are supposed to abort if they would overwrite dirty changes in the working tree. We cannot correctly determine whether changes would be overwritten until both rename detection has occurred and full processing of entries with the renames has finalized. Warning/conflict/notice messages come up at intermediate codepaths along the way, so unless we want spurious conflict/warning messages being printed when the merge will be aborted anyway, we need to save these messages and only print them when relevant. 2. There can be multiple messages for a single path, and we want all messages for a give path to appear together instead of having them grouped by conflict/warning type. This was a problem already with merge-recursive.c but became even more important due to the splitting apart of conflict types as discussed in the commit message for 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) 3. Some callers might want to avoid showing the output in certain cases, such as if the end result is a clean merge. Rebases have typically done this. 4. Some callers might not want the output to go to stdout or even stderr, but might want to do something else with it entirely. For example, a --remerge-diff option to `git show` or `git log -p` that remerges on the fly and diffs merge commits against the remerged version would benefit from stdout/stderr not being written to in the standard form.

The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused We need to know when renames detected in a previous merge operation can be reused in a later merge operation. Consider the following setup (from the git-rebase manpage): A---B---C topic / D---E---F---G master After rebasing, this will appear as: A'--B'--C' topic / D---E---F---G master Further, let's say that 'oldfile' was renamed to 'newfile' between E and G. The rebase or cherry-pick of A onto G will involve a three-way merge between E (as the merge base) and G and A. After detecting the rename between E:oldfile and G:newfile, there will be a three-way content merge of the following: E:oldfile G:newfile A:oldfile and produce a new result: A':newfile Now, when we want to pick B onto A', we will need to do a three-way merge between A (as the merge-base) and A' and B. This will involve a three-way content merge of A:oldfile A':newfile B:oldfile but only if we can detect that A:oldfile is similar enough to A':newfile to be used together in a three-way content merge, i.e. only if we can detect that A:oldfile and A':newfile are a rename. But we already know that A:oldfile and A':newfile are similar enough to be used in a three-way content merge, because that is precisely where A':newfile came from in the previous merge. Note that A & A' both appear in both merges. That gives us the condition under which we can reuse renames. There are a couple important points about this optimization: - If the rebase or cherry-pick halts for user conflicts, these caches are NOT saved anywhere. Thus, resuming a halted rebase or cherry-pick will result in no reused renames for the next commit. This is intentional, as user resolution can change files significantly and in ways that violate the similarity assumptions here. - Technically, in a *very* narrow case this might give slightly different results for rename detection. Using the example above, if: * E:oldfile had 20 lines * G:newfile added 10 new lines at the beginning of the file * A:oldfile deleted all but the first three lines of the file then => A':newfile would have 13 lines, 3 of which matches those in A:oldfile. Consider the two cases: * Without this optimization: - the next step of the rebase operation (moving B to B') would not detect the rename betwen A:oldfile and A':newfile - we'd thus get a modify/delete conflict with the rebase operation halting for the user to resolve, and have both A':newfile and B:oldfile sitting in the working tree. * With this optimization: - the rename between A:oldfile and A':newfile would be detected via the cache of renames - a three-way merge between A:oldfile, A':newfile, and B:oldfile would commence and be written to A':newfile Now, is the difference in behavior a bug...or a bugfix? I can't tell. Given that A:oldfile and A':newfile are not very similar, when we three-way merge with B:oldfile it seems likely we'll hit a conflict for the user to resolve. And it shouldn't be too hard for users to see why we did that three-way merge; oldfile and newfile *were* renames somewhere in the sequence. So, most of these corner cases will still behave similarly -- namely, a conflict given to the user to resolve. Also, consider the interesting case when commit B is a clean revert of commit A. Without this optimization, a rebase could not both apply a weird patch like A and then immediately revert it; users would be forced to resolve merge conflicts. With this optimization, it would successfully apply the clean revert. So, there is certainly at least one case that behaves better. Even if it's considered a "difference in behavior", I think both behaviors are reasonable, and the time savings provided by this optimization justify using the slightly altered rename heuristics.

merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit. But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at all. Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one. It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for correctness. However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much faster due to having far fewer entries to process. This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2; but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3, we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best anyway.) Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100 lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things work. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 205.1 ms ± 3.8 ms 204.2 ms ± 3.0 ms mega-renames: 1.564 s ± 0.010 s 1.076 s ± 0.015 s just-one-mega: 479.5 ms ± 3.9 ms 364.1 ms ± 7.0 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

trace2_region_leave("merge", "renames", opt->repo);
merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to reduce process entry cost The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions: collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases the amount of time spent in the two slower functions. Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit. But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at all. Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one. It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for correctness. However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() into collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() <cache all the renames, and restart> collect_merge_info() detect_and_process_renames() process_entries() This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much faster due to having far fewer entries to process. This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2; but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3, we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best anyway.) Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100 lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things work. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), this change improves the performance as follows: Before After no-renames: 205.1 ms ± 3.8 ms 204.2 ms ± 3.0 ms mega-renames: 1.564 s ± 0.010 s 1.076 s ± 0.015 s just-one-mega: 479.5 ms ± 3.9 ms 364.1 ms ± 7.0 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename; I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some select testcases. === Setup === The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is as follows: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git $ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e $ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34 $ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e $ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4 $ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames $ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/" $ git config merge.renameLimit 30000 $ git config merge.directoryRenames true === Testcases === Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the testcases are: Testcase #1: no-renames $ git checkout v5.4^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time. Testcase #2: mega-renames $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates Testcase #3: just-one-mega $ git checkout 5.4-renames^0 $ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one === Timing results === Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames, 10 runs for the other two cases): merge-recursive merge-ort no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s A single re-run of each with some breakdowns: --- no-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s --- mega-renames --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s --- just-one-mega --- merge-recursive merge-ort overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s === Timing observations === 0) Maximum speedup The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

merge-ort: add code to check for whether cached renames can be reused We need to know when renames detected in a previous merge operation can be reused in a later merge operation. Consider the following setup (from the git-rebase manpage): A---B---C topic / D---E---F---G master After rebasing, this will appear as: A'--B'--C' topic / D---E---F---G master Further, let's say that 'oldfile' was renamed to 'newfile' between E and G. The rebase or cherry-pick of A onto G will involve a three-way merge between E (as the merge base) and G and A. After detecting the rename between E:oldfile and G:newfile, there will be a three-way content merge of the following: E:oldfile G:newfile A:oldfile and produce a new result: A':newfile Now, when we want to pick B onto A', we will need to do a three-way merge between A (as the merge-base) and A' and B. This will involve a three-way content merge of A:oldfile A':newfile B:oldfile but only if we can detect that A:oldfile is similar enough to A':newfile to be used together in a three-way content merge, i.e. only if we can detect that A:oldfile and A':newfile are a rename. But we already know that A:oldfile and A':newfile are similar enough to be used in a three-way content merge, because that is precisely where A':newfile came from in the previous merge. Note that A & A' both appear in both merges. That gives us the condition under which we can reuse renames. There are a couple important points about this optimization: - If the rebase or cherry-pick halts for user conflicts, these caches are NOT saved anywhere. Thus, resuming a halted rebase or cherry-pick will result in no reused renames for the next commit. This is intentional, as user resolution can change files significantly and in ways that violate the similarity assumptions here. - Technically, in a *very* narrow case this might give slightly different results for rename detection. Using the example above, if: * E:oldfile had 20 lines * G:newfile added 10 new lines at the beginning of the file * A:oldfile deleted all but the first three lines of the file then => A':newfile would have 13 lines, 3 of which matches those in A:oldfile. Consider the two cases: * Without this optimization: - the next step of the rebase operation (moving B to B') would not detect the rename betwen A:oldfile and A':newfile - we'd thus get a modify/delete conflict with the rebase operation halting for the user to resolve, and have both A':newfile and B:oldfile sitting in the working tree. * With this optimization: - the rename between A:oldfile and A':newfile would be detected via the cache of renames - a three-way merge between A:oldfile, A':newfile, and B:oldfile would commence and be written to A':newfile Now, is the difference in behavior a bug...or a bugfix? I can't tell. Given that A:oldfile and A':newfile are not very similar, when we three-way merge with B:oldfile it seems likely we'll hit a conflict for the user to resolve. And it shouldn't be too hard for users to see why we did that three-way merge; oldfile and newfile *were* renames somewhere in the sequence. So, most of these corner cases will still behave similarly -- namely, a conflict given to the user to resolve. Also, consider the interesting case when commit B is a clean revert of commit A. Without this optimization, a rebase could not both apply a weird patch like A and then immediately revert it; users would be forced to resolve merge conflicts. With this optimization, it would successfully apply the clean revert. So, there is certainly at least one case that behaves better. Even if it's considered a "difference in behavior", I think both behaviors are reasonable, and the time savings provided by this optimization justify using the slightly altered rename heuristics.

The fact that this is so much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on rename detection can be. 1) no-renames 1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However, this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge" backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply" backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in 6.940 s ± 0.485 s which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases. 2) mega-renames 2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already. 3) just-one-mega 3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing only one patch compares to rebasing 35. === Goals === This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals that this measurement will help us achieve: * Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges * After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize. * Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.
