a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

This allows you to add an arbitrary "decoration" of your choice to any

0ab179504a get rid of lookup_object_type()
This function is called only once in the whole source tree.  Let's move
its code inline instead, which is also in the spirit of removing as much
object type char arrays as possible (not that this patch does anything for
that but at least it is now a local matter).

21666f1aae convert object type handling from a string to a number
We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types
in the code: a string and a numerical value.  One of them is obviously
redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch
of strcmp() all over the place.

This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array
found in object reading code paths.  The patch is unfortunately large but
there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the
system.

72518e9c26 more lightweight revalidation while reusing deflated stream in packing
When copying from an existing pack and when copying from a loose
object with new style header, the code makes sure that the piece
we are going to copy out inflates well and inflate() consumes
the data in full while doing so.

The check to see if the xdelta really apply is quite expensive
as you described, because you would need to have the image of
the base object which can be represented as a delta against
something else.

1974632c66 Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.
This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.

Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings"
entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different
integer enumeration.

fc046a75d5 Abstract out accesses to object hash array
There are a few special places where some programs accessed the object
hash array directly, which bothered me because I wanted to play with some
simple re-organizations.

So this patch makes the object hash array data structures all entirely
local to object.c, and the few users who wanted to look at it now get to
use a function to query how many object index entries there can be, and to
actually access the array.

1f1e895fcc 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.

3e4339e6f9 Remove "refs" field from "struct object"
This shrinks "struct object" to the absolutely minimal size possible.
It now contains /only/ the object flags and the SHA1 hash name of the
object.

The "refs" field, which is really needed only for fsck, is maintained in
a separate hashed lookup-table, allowing all normal users to totally
ignore it.

This helps memory usage, although not as much as I hoped: it looks like
the allocation overhead of malloc (and the alignment constraints in
particular) means that while the structure size shrinks, the actual
allocation overhead mostly does not.

[ That said: memory usage is actually down, but not as much as it should
  be: I suspect just one of the object types actually ended up shrinking
  its effective allocation size.

  To get to the next level, we probably need specialized allocators that
  don't pad the allocation more than necessary. ]

The separation makes for some code cleanup, though, and makes the ref
tracking that fsck wants a clearly separate thing.

d3ff6f5501 Move "void *util" from "struct object" into "struct commit"
Every single user actually wanted this only for commit objects, and we
have no reason to waste space on it for other object types. So just move
the structure member from the low-level "struct object" into the "struct
commit".

This leaves the commit object the same size, and removes one unnecessary
pointer from all other object allocations.

This shrinks memory usage (still at a fairly hefty half-gig, admittedly)
of "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla repo by another 5% in my
tests.

885a86abe2 Shrink "struct object" a bit
This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.

In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.

Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.

This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.

There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.

Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

8f1d2e6f49 [PATCH] Compilation: zero-length array declaration.
ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array
at the end of a structure, like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[]; /* more */
	};

GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";
unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90.

This declares such construct like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */
	};

and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and
empty for others.

If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able
to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the
command line of "make".

8805ccac40 [PATCH] Avoid building object ref lists when not needed
The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that
object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it.

However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for
git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight.

So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to
disable it, and use it in git-rev-list.

Before:

	$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l
	12.28user 0.29system 0:12.57elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
	0inputs+0outputs (0major+26718minor)pagefaults 0swaps
	59124

After this change:

	$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l
	10.33user 0.18system 0:10.54elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
	0inputs+0outputs (0major+18509minor)pagefaults 0swaps
	59124

and note how the number of pages touched by git-rev-list for this
particular object list has shrunk from 26,718 (104 MB) to 18,509 (72 MB).

Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still
clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time),
but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.

a3437b8c26 [PATCH] Modify git-rev-list to linearise the commit history in merge order.
This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.

The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.

With this patch a graph like this:

	a4 ---
	| \   \
	|  b4 |
	|/ |  |
	a3 |  |
	|  |  |
	a2 |  |
	|  |  c3
	|  |  |
	|  |  c2
	|  b3 |
	|  | /|
	|  b2 |
	|  |  c1
	|  | /
	|  b1
	a1 |
	|  |
	a0 |
	| /
	root

Sorts like this:

	= a4
	| c3
	| c2
	| c1
	^ b4
	| b3
	| b2
	| b1
	^ a3
	| a2
	| a1
	| a0
	= root

Instead of this:

	= a4
	| c3
	^ b4
	| a3
	^ c2
	^ b3
	^ a2
	^ b2
	^ c1
	^ a1
	^ b1
	^ a0
	= root

A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:

	cd t
	./t6000-rev-list.sh
	cd trash
	cat actual-default-order
	cat actual-merge-order

The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.

This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm.

This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting
algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated
with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8d.

This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c.
(see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c)

This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.

and http://blackcubes.dyndns.org/epoch/.
