name-rev: eliminate recursion in name_rev() The name_rev() function calls itself recursively for each interesting parent of the commit it got as parameter, and, consequently, it can segfault when processing a deep history if it exhausts the available stack space. E.g. running 'git name-rev --all' and 'git name-rev HEAD~100000' in the gcc, gecko-dev, llvm, and WebKit repositories results in segfaults on my machine ('ulimit -s' reports 8192kB of stack size limit), and nowadays the former segfaults in the Linux repo as well (it reached the necessasry depth sometime between v5.3-rc4 and -rc5). Eliminate the recursion by inserting the interesting parents into a LIFO 'prio_queue' [1] and iterating until the queue becomes empty. Note that the parent commits must be added in reverse order to the LIFO 'prio_queue', so their relative order is preserved during processing, i.e. the first parent should come out first from the queue, because otherwise performance greatly suffers on mergy histories [2]. The stacksize-limited test 'name-rev works in a deep repo' in 't6120-describe.sh' demonstrated this issue and expected failure. Now the recursion is gone, so flip it to expect success. Also gone are the dmesg entries logging the segfault of that segfaulting 'git name-rev' process on every execution of the test suite. Note that this slightly changes the order of lines in the output of 'git name-rev --all', usually swapping two lines every 35 lines in git.git or every 150 lines in linux.git. This shouldn't matter in practice, because the output has always been unordered anyway. This patch is best viewed with '--ignore-all-space'. [1] Early versions of this patch used a 'commit_list', resulting in ~15% performance penalty for 'git name-rev --all' in 'linux.git', presumably because of the memory allocation and release for each insertion and removal. Using a LIFO 'prio_queue' has basically no effect on performance. [2] We prefer shorter names, i.e. 'v0.1~234' is preferred over 'v0.1^2~5', meaning that usually following the first parent of a merge results in the best name for its ancestors. So when later we follow the remaining parent(s) of a merge, and reach an already named commit, then we usually find that we can't give that commit a better name, and thus we don't have to visit any of its ancestors again. OTOH, if we were to follow the Nth parent of the merge first, then the name of all its ancestors would include a corresponding '^N'. Those are not the best names for those commits, so when later we reach an already named commit following the first parent of that merge, then we would have to update the name of that commit and the names of all of its ancestors as well. Consequently, we would have to visit many commits several times, resulting in a significant slowdown.

name-rev: use generation numbers if available If a commit in a sequence of linear history has a non-monotonically increasing commit timestamp, git name-rev might not properly name the commit. This occurs because name-rev uses a heuristic of the commit date to avoid searching down tags which lead to commits that are older than the named commit. This is intended to avoid work on larger repositories. This heuristic impacts git name-rev, and by extension git describe --contains which is built on top of name-rev. Further more, if --all or --annotate-stdin is used, the heuristic is not enabled because the full history has to be analyzed anyways. This results in some confusion if a user sees that --annotate-stdin works but a normal name-rev does not. If the repository has a commit graph, we can use the generation numbers instead of using the commit dates. This is essentially the same check except that generation numbers make it exact, where the commit date heuristic could be incorrect due to clock errors. Since we're extending the notion of cutoff to more than one variable, create a series of functions for setting and checking the cutoff. This avoids duplication and moves access of the global cutoff and generation_cutoff to as few functions as possible. Add several test cases including a test that covers the new commitGraph behavior, as well as tests for --all and --annotate-stdin with and without commitGraphs.

name-rev: favor describing with tags and use committer date to tiebreak "git name-rev" assigned a phony "far in the future" date to tips of refs that are not pointing at tag objects, and favored names based on a ref with the oldest date. This made it almost impossible for an unannotated tags and branches to be counted as a viable base, which was especially problematic when the command is run with the "--tags" option. If an unannotated tag that points at an ancient commit and an annotated tag that points at a much newer commit reaches the commit that is being named, the old unannotated tag was ignored. Update the "taggerdate" field of the rev-name structure, which is initialized from the tip of ref, to have the committer date if the object at the tip of ref is a commit, not a tag, so that we can optionally take it into account when doing "is this name better?" comparison logic. When "name-rev" is run without the "--tags" option, the general expectation is still to name the commit based on a tag if possible, but use non-tag refs as fallback, and tiebreak among these non-tag refs by favoring names with shorter hops from the tip. The use of a phony "far in the future" date in the original code was an effective way to ensure this expectation is held: a non-tag tip gets the same "far in the future" timestamp, giving precedence to tags, and among non-tag tips, names with shorter hops are preferred over longer hops, without taking the "taggerdate" into account. As we are taking over the "taggerdate" field to store the committer date for tips with commits: (1) keep the original logic when comparing names based on two refs both of which are from refs/tags/; (2) favoring a name based on a ref in refs/tags/ hierarchy over a ref outside the hierarchy; (3) between two names based on a ref both outside refs/tags/, give precedence to a name with shorter hops and use "taggerdate" only to tie-break. A change to t4202 is a natural consequence. The test creates a commit on a branch "side" and points at it with an unannotated tag "refs/tags/side-2". The original code couldn't decide which one to favor at all, and gave a name based on a branch (simply because refs/heads/side sorts earlier than refs/tags/side-2). Because the updated logic is taught to favor refs in refs/tags/ hierarchy, the the test is updated to expect to see tags/side-2 instead.

name-rev: prefer shorter names over following merges name-rev has a MERGE_TRAVERSAL_WEIGHT to say that traversing a second or later parent of a merge should be 65535 times more expensive than a first-parent traversal, as per ac076c29ae8d (name-rev: Fix non-shortest description, 2007-08-27). The point of this weight is to prefer names like v2.32.0~1471^2 over names like v2.32.0~43^2~15^2~11^2~20^2~31^2 which are two equally valid names in git.git for the same commit. Note that the first follows 1472 parent traversals compared to a mere 125 for the second. Weighting all traversals equally would clearly prefer the second name since it has fewer parent traversals, but humans aren't going to be traversing commits and they tend to have an easier time digesting names with fewer segments. The fact that the former only has two segments (~1471, ^2) makes it much simpler than the latter which has six segments (~43, ^2, ~15, etc.). Since name-rev is meant to "find symbolic names suitable for human digestion", we prefer fewer segments. However, the particular rule implemented in name-rev would actually prefer v2.33.0-rc0~11^2~1 over v2.33.0-rc0~20^2 because both have precisely one second parent traversal, and it gives the tie breaker to shortest number of total parent traversals. Fewer segments is more important for human consumption than number of hops, so we'd rather see the latter which has one fewer segment. Include the generation in is_better_name() and use a new effective_distance() calculation so that we prefer fewer segments in the printed name over fewer total parent traversals performed to get the answer. == Side-note on tie-breakers == When there are the same number of segments for two different names, we actually use the name of an ancestor commit as a tie-breaker as well. For example, for the commit cbdca289fb in the git.git repository, we prefer the name v2.33.0-rc0~112^2~1 over v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~5. This is because: * cbdca289fb is the parent of 25e65b6dd5, which implies the name for cbdca289fb should be the first parent of the preferred name for 25e65b6dd5 * 25e65b6dd5 could be named either v2.33.0-rc0~112^2 or v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~4, but the former is preferred over the latter due to fewer segments * combine the two previous facts, and the name we get for cbdca289fb is "v2.33.0-rc0~112^2~1" rather than "v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~5". Technically, we get this for free out of the implementation since we only keep track of one name for each commit as we walk history (and re-add parents to the queue if we find a better name for those parents), but the first bullet point above ensures users get results that feel more consistent. == Alternative Ideas and Meanings Discussed == One suggestion that came up during review was that shortest string-length might be easiest for users to consume. However, such a scheme would be rather computationally expensive (we'd have to track all names for each commit as we traversed the graph) and would additionally come with the possibly perplexing result that on a linear segment of history we could rapidly swap back and forth on names: MYTAG~3^2 would be preferred over MYTAG~9998 MYTAG~3^2~1 would NOT be preferred over MYTAG~9999 MYTAG~3^2~2 might be preferred over MYTAG~10000 Another item that came up was possible auxiliary semantic meanings for name-rev results either before or after this patch. The basic answer was that the previous implementation had no known useful auxiliary semantics, but that for many repositories (most in my experience), the new scheme does. In particular, the new name-rev output can often be used to answer the question, "How or when did this commit get merged?" Since that usefulness depends on how merges happen within the repository and thus isn't universally applicable, details are omitted here but you can see them at [1]. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BEeUM+3NLKDVdak90_UUeNghYCx=Dgir6=8ixvYmvyq3Q@mail.gmail.com/ Finally, it was noted that the algorithm could be improved by just explicitly tracking the number of segments and using both it and distance in the comparison, instead of giving a magic number that tries to blend the two (and which therefore might give suboptimal results in repositories with really huge numbers of commits that periodically merge older code).

name-rev: fix names by dropping taggerdate workaround Commit 7550424804 ("name-rev: include taggerdate in considering the best name", 2016-04-22) introduced the idea of using taggerdate in the criteria for selecting the best name. At the time, a certain commit in linux.git -- namely, aed06b9cfcab -- was being named by name-rev as v4.6-rc1~9^2~792 which, while correct, was very suboptimal. Some investigation found that tweaking the MERGE_TRAVERSAL_WEIGHT to lower it could give alternate answers such as v3.13-rc7~9^2~14^2~42 or v3.13~5^2~4^2~2^2~1^2~42 A manual solution involving looking at tagger dates came up with v3.13-rc1~65^2^2~42 which is much nicer. That workaround was then implemented in name-rev. Unfortunately, the taggerdate heuristic is causing bugs. I was pointed to a case in a private repository where name-rev reports a name of the form v2022.10.02~86 when users expected to see one of the form v2022.10.01~2 (I've modified the names and numbers a bit from the real testcase.) As you can probably guess, v2022.10.01 was created after v2022.10.02 (by a few hours), even though it pointed to an older commit. While the condition is unusual even in the repository in question, it is not the only problematic set of tags in that repository. The taggerdate logic is causing problems. Further, it turns out that this taggerdate heuristic isn't even helping anymore. Due to the fix to naming logic in 3656f84278 ("name-rev: prefer shorter names over following merges", 2021-12-04), we get improved names without the taggerdate heuristic. For the original commit of interest in linux.git, a modern git without the taggerdate heuristic still provides the same optimal answer of interest, namely: v3.13-rc1~65^2^2~42 So, the taggerdate is no longer providing benefit, and it is causing problems. Simply get rid of it. However, note that "taggerdate" as a variable is used to store things besides a taggerdate these days. Ever since commit ef1e74065c ("name-rev: favor describing with tags and use committer date to tiebreak", 2017-03-29), this has been used to store committer dates and there it is used as a fallback tiebreaker (as opposed to a primary criteria overriding effective distance calculations).

name-rev: favor describing with tags and use committer date to tiebreak "git name-rev" assigned a phony "far in the future" date to tips of refs that are not pointing at tag objects, and favored names based on a ref with the oldest date.

When "name-rev" is run without the "--tags" option, the general expectation is still to name the commit based on a tag if possible, but use non-tag refs as fallback, and tiebreak among these non-tag refs by favoring names with shorter hops from the tip. The use of a phony "far in the future" date in the original code was an effective way to ensure this expectation is held: a non-tag tip gets the same "far in the future" timestamp, giving precedence to tags, and among non-tag tips, names with shorter hops are preferred over longer hops, without taking the "taggerdate" into account. As we are taking over the "taggerdate" field to store the committer date for tips with commits: (1) keep the original logic when comparing names based on two refs both of which are from refs/tags/; (2) favoring a name based on a ref in refs/tags/ hierarchy over a ref outside the hierarchy; (3) between two names based on a ref both outside refs/tags/, give precedence to a name with shorter hops and use "taggerdate" only to tie-break.

name-rev: prefer shorter names over following merges name-rev has a MERGE_TRAVERSAL_WEIGHT to say that traversing a second or later parent of a merge should be 65535 times more expensive than a first-parent traversal, as per ac076c29ae8d (name-rev: Fix non-shortest description, 2007-08-27). The point of this weight is to prefer names like v2.32.0~1471^2 over names like v2.32.0~43^2~15^2~11^2~20^2~31^2 which are two equally valid names in git.git for the same commit. Note that the first follows 1472 parent traversals compared to a mere 125 for the second. Weighting all traversals equally would clearly prefer the second name since it has fewer parent traversals, but humans aren't going to be traversing commits and they tend to have an easier time digesting names with fewer segments. The fact that the former only has two segments (~1471, ^2) makes it much simpler than the latter which has six segments (~43, ^2, ~15, etc.). Since name-rev is meant to "find symbolic names suitable for human digestion", we prefer fewer segments. However, the particular rule implemented in name-rev would actually prefer v2.33.0-rc0~11^2~1 over v2.33.0-rc0~20^2 because both have precisely one second parent traversal, and it gives the tie breaker to shortest number of total parent traversals. Fewer segments is more important for human consumption than number of hops, so we'd rather see the latter which has one fewer segment. Include the generation in is_better_name() and use a new effective_distance() calculation so that we prefer fewer segments in the printed name over fewer total parent traversals performed to get the answer. == Side-note on tie-breakers == When there are the same number of segments for two different names, we actually use the name of an ancestor commit as a tie-breaker as well. For example, for the commit cbdca289fb in the git.git repository, we prefer the name v2.33.0-rc0~112^2~1 over v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~5. This is because: * cbdca289fb is the parent of 25e65b6dd5, which implies the name for cbdca289fb should be the first parent of the preferred name for 25e65b6dd5 * 25e65b6dd5 could be named either v2.33.0-rc0~112^2 or v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~4, but the former is preferred over the latter due to fewer segments * combine the two previous facts, and the name we get for cbdca289fb is "v2.33.0-rc0~112^2~1" rather than "v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~5". Technically, we get this for free out of the implementation since we only keep track of one name for each commit as we walk history (and re-add parents to the queue if we find a better name for those parents), but the first bullet point above ensures users get results that feel more consistent. == Alternative Ideas and Meanings Discussed == One suggestion that came up during review was that shortest string-length might be easiest for users to consume. However, such a scheme would be rather computationally expensive (we'd have to track all names for each commit as we traversed the graph) and would additionally come with the possibly perplexing result that on a linear segment of history we could rapidly swap back and forth on names: MYTAG~3^2 would be preferred over MYTAG~9998 MYTAG~3^2~1 would NOT be preferred over MYTAG~9999 MYTAG~3^2~2 might be preferred over MYTAG~10000 Another item that came up was possible auxiliary semantic meanings for name-rev results either before or after this patch. The basic answer was that the previous implementation had no known useful auxiliary semantics, but that for many repositories (most in my experience), the new scheme does. In particular, the new name-rev output can often be used to answer the question, "How or when did this commit get merged?" Since that usefulness depends on how merges happen within the repository and thus isn't universally applicable, details are omitted here but you can see them at [1]. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BEeUM+3NLKDVdak90_UUeNghYCx=Dgir6=8ixvYmvyq3Q@mail.gmail.com/ Finally, it was noted that the algorithm could be improved by just explicitly tracking the number of segments and using both it and distance in the comparison, instead of giving a magic number that tries to blend the two (and which therefore might give suboptimal results in repositories with really huge numbers of commits that periodically merge older code). However, "[this patch] seems to give us a much better results than the current code, so let's take it and leave further futzing outside the scope."

name-rev: eliminate recursion in name_rev() The name_rev() function calls itself recursively for each interesting parent of the commit it got as parameter, and, consequently, it can segfault when processing a deep history if it exhausts the available stack space. E.g. running 'git name-rev --all' and 'git name-rev HEAD~100000' in the gcc, gecko-dev, llvm, and WebKit repositories results in segfaults on my machine ('ulimit -s' reports 8192kB of stack size limit), and nowadays the former segfaults in the Linux repo as well (it reached the necessasry depth sometime between v5.3-rc4 and -rc5). Eliminate the recursion by inserting the interesting parents into a LIFO 'prio_queue' [1] and iterating until the queue becomes empty. Note that the parent commits must be added in reverse order to the LIFO 'prio_queue', so their relative order is preserved during processing, i.e. the first parent should come out first from the queue, because otherwise performance greatly suffers on mergy histories [2]. The stacksize-limited test 'name-rev works in a deep repo' in 't6120-describe.sh' demonstrated this issue and expected failure. Now the recursion is gone, so flip it to expect success. Also gone are the dmesg entries logging the segfault of that segfaulting 'git name-rev' process on every execution of the test suite. Note that this slightly changes the order of lines in the output of 'git name-rev --all', usually swapping two lines every 35 lines in git.git or every 150 lines in linux.git. This shouldn't matter in practice, because the output has always been unordered anyway. This patch is best viewed with '--ignore-all-space'. [1] Early versions of this patch used a 'commit_list', resulting in ~15% performance penalty for 'git name-rev --all' in 'linux.git', presumably because of the memory allocation and release for each insertion and removal. Using a LIFO 'prio_queue' has basically no effect on performance. [2] We prefer shorter names, i.e. 'v0.1~234' is preferred over 'v0.1^2~5', meaning that usually following the first parent of a merge results in the best name for its ancestors. So when later we follow the remaining parent(s) of a merge, and reach an already named commit, then we usually find that we can't give that commit a better name, and thus we don't have to visit any of its ancestors again. OTOH, if we were to follow the Nth parent of the merge first, then the name of all its ancestors would include a corresponding '^N'. Those are not the best names for those commits, so when later we reach an already named commit following the first parent of that merge, then we would have to update the name of that commit and the names of all of its ancestors as well. Consequently, we would have to visit many commits several times, resulting in a significant slowdown.

[1] Early versions of this patch used a 'commit_list', resulting in ~15% performance penalty for 'git name-rev --all' in 'linux.git', presumably because of the memory allocation and release for each insertion and removal. Using a LIFO 'prio_queue' has basically no effect on performance. [2] We prefer shorter names, i.e. 'v0.1~234' is preferred over 'v0.1^2~5', meaning that usually following the first parent of a merge results in the best name for its ancestors. So when later we follow the remaining parent(s) of a merge, and reach an already named commit, then we usually find that we can't give that commit a better name, and thus we don't have to visit any of its ancestors again. OTOH, if we were to follow the Nth parent of the merge first, then the name of all its ancestors would include a corresponding '^N'. Those are not the best names for those commits, so when later we reach an already named commit following the first parent of that merge, then we would have to update the name of that commit and the names of all of its ancestors as well. Consequently, we would have to visit many commits several times, resulting in a significant slowdown.

name-rev: use generation numbers if available If a commit in a sequence of linear history has a non-monotonically increasing commit timestamp, git name-rev might not properly name the commit. This occurs because name-rev uses a heuristic of the commit date to avoid searching down tags which lead to commits that are older than the named commit. This is intended to avoid work on larger repositories. This heuristic impacts git name-rev, and by extension git describe --contains which is built on top of name-rev. Further more, if --all or --annotate-stdin is used, the heuristic is not enabled because the full history has to be analyzed anyways. This results in some confusion if a user sees that --annotate-stdin works but a normal name-rev does not. If the repository has a commit graph, we can use the generation numbers instead of using the commit dates. This is essentially the same check except that generation numbers make it exact, where the commit date heuristic could be incorrect due to clock errors. Since we're extending the notion of cutoff to more than one variable, create a series of functions for setting and checking the cutoff. This avoids duplication and moves access of the global cutoff and generation_cutoff to as few functions as possible. Add several test cases including a test that covers the new commitGraph behavior, as well as tests for --all and --annotate-stdin with and without commitGraphs.

name-rev: eliminate recursion in name_rev() The name_rev() function calls itself recursively for each interesting parent of the commit it got as parameter, and, consequently, it can segfault when processing a deep history if it exhausts the available stack space. E.g. running 'git name-rev --all' and 'git name-rev HEAD~100000' in the gcc, gecko-dev, llvm, and WebKit repositories results in segfaults on my machine ('ulimit -s' reports 8192kB of stack size limit), and nowadays the former segfaults in the Linux repo as well (it reached the necessasry depth sometime between v5.3-rc4 and -rc5). Eliminate the recursion by inserting the interesting parents into a LIFO 'prio_queue' [1] and iterating until the queue becomes empty. Note that the parent commits must be added in reverse order to the LIFO 'prio_queue', so their relative order is preserved during processing, i.e. the first parent should come out first from the queue, because otherwise performance greatly suffers on mergy histories [2]. The stacksize-limited test 'name-rev works in a deep repo' in 't6120-describe.sh' demonstrated this issue and expected failure. Now the recursion is gone, so flip it to expect success. Also gone are the dmesg entries logging the segfault of that segfaulting 'git name-rev' process on every execution of the test suite.

Add "named object array" concept We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

name-rev: use generation numbers if available If a commit in a sequence of linear history has a non-monotonically increasing commit timestamp, git name-rev might not properly name the commit. This occurs because name-rev uses a heuristic of the commit date to avoid searching down tags which lead to commits that are older than the named commit. This is intended to avoid work on larger repositories. This heuristic impacts git name-rev, and by extension git describe --contains which is built on top of name-rev. Further more, if --all or --annotate-stdin is used, the heuristic is not enabled because the full history has to be analyzed anyways. This results in some confusion if a user sees that --annotate-stdin works but a normal name-rev does not. If the repository has a commit graph, we can use the generation numbers instead of using the commit dates. This is essentially the same check except that generation numbers make it exact, where the commit date heuristic could be incorrect due to clock errors. Since we're extending the notion of cutoff to more than one variable, create a series of functions for setting and checking the cutoff. This avoids duplication and moves access of the global cutoff and generation_cutoff to as few functions as possible. Add several test cases including a test that covers the new commitGraph behavior, as well as tests for --all and --annotate-stdin with and without commitGraphs.

Here's the performance as measures by hyperfine for the Linux repo before: Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../linux/ name-rev --all Time (mean ± σ): 851.1 ms ± 4.5 ms [User: 806.7 ms, System: 44.4 ms] Range (min … max): 845.9 ms … 859.5 ms 10 runs ... and with this patch: Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../linux/ name-rev --all Time (mean ± σ): 736.2 ms ± 8.7 ms [User: 688.4 ms, System: 47.5 ms] Range (min … max): 726.0 ms … 755.2 ms 10 runs Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Add "named object array" concept We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.
