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.

Add traverse_trees_wrapper() and traverse_trees_wrapper_callback()
functions. The former runs traverse_trees() with info->fn set to
traverse_trees_wrapper_callback, in order to simply save all the entries
without processing or recursing into any of them. This step allows
extra computation to be done (e.g. checking some condition across all
files) that can be used later. Then, after that is completed, it
iterates over all the saved entries and calls the original info->fn
callback with the saved data.
Currently, this does nothing more than marginally slowing down the tree
traversal since we do not take advantage of the opportunity to compute
anything special in traverse_trees_wrapper_callback(), and thus the real
callback will be called identically as it would have been without this
extra wrapper. However, a subsequent commit will add some special
computation of some values that the real callback will be able to use.

as a pre-requisite need a way to traverse through all the files in a
given tree before visiting any directories within that tree.
traverse_trees() only iterates through the entries in the order they
appear, so add some data structures that will store all the entries as

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.

Add the ability to diffcore_rename_extended() to allow external callers
to declare that they only need renames detected for a subset of source
files, and use that information to skip detecting renames for them.
There are two important pieces to this optimization that may not be
obvious at first glance:
* We do not require callers to just filter the filepairs out
to remove the non-relevant sources, because exact rename detection
is fast and when it finds a match it can remove both a source and a
destination whereas the relevant_sources filter can only remove a
source.
* We need to filter out the source pairs in a preliminary pass instead
of adding a
strset_contains(relevant_sources, one->path)
check within the nested matrix loop. The reason for that is if we
have 30k renames, doing 30k * 30k = 900M strset_contains() calls
becomes extraordinarily expensive and defeats the performance gains
from this change; we only want to do 30k such calls instead.
If callers pass NULL for relevant_sources, that is special cases to
treat all sources as relevant. Since all callers currently pass NULL,
this optimization does not yet have any effect. Subsequent commits will
have merge-ort compute a set of relevant_sources to restrict which
sources we detect renames for, and have merge-ort pass that set of
relevant_sources to diffcore_rename_extended().
A note about filtering order:
Some may be curious why we don't filter out irrelevant sources at the
same time we filter out exact renames. While that technically could be
done at this point, there are two reasons to defer it:
First, was to reinforce a lesson that was too easy to forget. As I
mentioned above, in the past I filtered irrelevant sources out before
exact rename checking, and then discovered that exact renames' ability
to remove both sources and destinations was an important consideration
and thus doing the filtering after exact rename checking would speed
things up. Then at some point I realized that basename matching could
also remove both sources and destinations, and decided to put irrelevant
source filtering after basename filtering. That slowed things down a
lot. But, despite learning about this important ordering, in later
restructuring I forgot and made the same mistake of putting the
filtering after basename guided rename detection again. So, I have this
series of patches structured to do the irrelevant filtering last to
start to show how much extra it costs, and then add relevant filtering
in to find_basename_matches() to show how much it speeds things up.
Basically, it's a way to reinforce something that apparently was too
easy to forget, and make sure the commit messages record this lesson.
Second, the items in the "relevant_sources" in this patch series will
include all sources that *might be* relevant. It has to be conservative
and catch anything that might need a rename, but in the patch series
after this one we'll find ways to weed out more of the *might be*
relevant ones. Unfortunately, merge-ort does not have sufficient
information to weed those ones out, and there isn't enough information
at the time of filtering exact renames out to remove the extra ones
either. It has to be deferred. So the deferral is in part to simplify
some later additions.

A previous commit noted that it is very common for people to move files
across directories while keeping their filename the same. The last few
commits took advantage of this and showed that we can accelerate rename
detection significantly using basenames; since files with the same
basename serve as likely rename candidates, we can check those first and
remove them from the rename candidate pool if they are sufficiently
similar.
Unfortunately, the previous optimization was limited by the fact that
the remaining basenames after exact rename detection are not always
unique. Many repositories have hundreds of build files with the same
name (e.g. Makefile, .gitignore, build.gradle, etc.), and may even have
hundreds of source files with the same name. (For example, the linux
kernel has 100 setup.c, 87 irq.c, and 112 core.c files. A repository at
$DAYJOB has a lot of ObjectFactory.java and Plugin.java files).
For these files with non-unique basenames, we are faced with the task of
attempting to determine or guess which directory they may have been
relocated to. Such a task is precisely the job of directory rename
detection. However, there are two catches: (1) the directory rename
detection code has traditionally been part of the merge machinery rather
than diffcore-rename.c, and (2) directory rename detection currently
runs after regular rename detection is complete. The 1st catch is just
an implementation issue that can be overcome by some code shuffling.
The 2nd requires us to add a further approximation: we only have access
to exact renames at this point, so we need to do directory rename
detection based on just exact renames. In some cases we won't have
exact renames, in which case this extra optimization won't apply. We
also choose to not apply the optimization unless we know that the
underlying directory was removed, which will require extra data to be
passed in to diffcore_rename_extended(). Also, even if we get a
prediction about which directory a file may have relocated to, we will
still need to check to see if there is a file in the predicted
directory, and then compare the two files to see if they meet the higher
min_basename_score threshold required for marking the two files as
renames.
This commit introduces an idx_possible_rename() function which will
do this directory rename detection for us and give us the index within
rename_dst of the resulting filename. For now, this function is
hardcoded to return -1 (not found) and just hooks up how its results
would be used once we have a more complete implementation in place.

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...

Make use of the new find_basename_matches() function added in the last
two patches, to find renames more rapidly in cases where we can match up
files based on basenames. As a quick reminder (see the last two commit
messages for more details), this means for example that
docs/extensions.txt and docs/config/extensions.txt are considered likely
renames if there are no remaining 'extensions.txt' files elsewhere among
the added and deleted files, and if a similarity check confirms they are
similar, then they are marked as a rename without looking for a better
similarity match among other files. This is a behavioral change, as
covered in more detail in the previous commit message.
We do not use this heuristic together with either break or copy
detection. The point of break detection is to say that filename
similarity does not imply file content similarity, and we only want to
know about file content similarity. The point of copy detection is to
use more resources to check for additional similarities, while this is
an optimization that uses far less resources but which might also result
in finding slightly fewer similarities. So the idea behind this
optimization goes against both of those features, and will be turned off
for both.

It is not uncommon in real world repositories for the majority of file
renames to not change the basename of the file; i.e. most "renames" are
just a move of files into different directories. We can make use of
this to avoid comparing all rename source candidates with all rename
destination candidates, by first comparing sources to destinations with
the same basenames. If two files with the same basename are
sufficiently similar, we record the rename; if not, we include those
files in the more exhaustive matrix comparison.
This means we are adding a set of preliminary additional comparisons,
but for each file we only compare it with at most one other file. For
example, if there was a include/media/device.h that was deleted and a
src/module/media/device.h that was added, and there are no other
device.h files in the remaining sets of added and deleted files after
exact rename detection, then these two files would be compared in the
preliminary step.
This commit does not yet actually employ this new optimization, it
merely adds a function which can be used for this purpose. The next
commit will do the necessary plumbing to make use of it.
Note that this optimization might give us different results than without
the optimization, because it's possible that despite files with the same
basename being sufficiently similar to be considered a rename, there's
an even better match between files without the same basename. I think
that is okay for four reasons: (1) it's easy to explain to the users
what happened if it does ever occur (or even for them to intuitively
figure out), (2) as the next patch will show it provides such a large
performance boost that it's worth the tradeoff, and (3) it's somewhat
unlikely that despite having unique matching basenames that other files
serve as better matches. Reason (4) takes a full paragraph to
explain...
If the previous three reasons aren't enough, consider what rename
detection already does. Break detection is not the default, meaning
that if files have the same _fullname_, then they are considered related
even if they are 0% similar. In fact, in such a case, we don't even
bother comparing the files to see if they are similar let alone
comparing them to all other files to see what they are most similar to.
Basically, we override content similarity based on sufficient filename
similarity. Without the filename similarity (currently implemented as
an exact match of filename), we swing the pendulum the opposite
direction and say that filename similarity is irrelevant and compare a
full N x M matrix of sources and destinations to find out which have the
most similar contents. This optimization just adds another form of
filename similarity comparison, but augments it with a file content
similarity check as well. Basically, if two files have the same
basename and are sufficiently similar to be considered a rename, mark
them as such without comparing the two to all other rename candidates.

We want to make use of unique basenames among remaining source and
destination files to help inform rename detection, so that more likely
pairings can be checked first. (src/moduleA/foo.txt and
source/module/A/foo.txt are likely related if there are no other
'foo.txt' files among the remaining deleted and added files.) Add a new
function, not yet used, which creates a map of the unique basenames
within rename_src and another within rename_dst, together with the
indices within rename_src/rename_dst where those basenames show up.
Non-unique basenames still show up in the map, but have an invalid index
(-1).
This function was inspired by the fact that in real world repositories,
files are often moved across directories without changing names. Here
are some sample repositories and the percentage of their historical
renames (as of early 2020) that preserved basenames:
* linux: 76%
* gcc: 64%
* gecko: 79%
* webkit: 89%
These statistics alone don't prove that an optimization in this area
will help or how much it will help, since there are also unpaired adds
and deletes, restrictions on which basenames we consider, etc., but it
certainly motivated the idea to try something in this area.

We have to look at each entry in rename_src a total of rename_dst_nr

to do that check more than once, let alone rename_dst_nr times. When
rename_src_nr is a few thousand times bigger than the number of relevant

diffcore_rename() had some code to avoid having destination paths that
already had an exact rename detected from being re-checked for other
renames. Source paths, however, were re-checked because we wanted to
allow the possibility of detecting copies. But if copy detection isn't
turned on, then this merely amounts to attempting to find a
better-than-exact match, which naturally ends up being an expensive
no-op. In particular, copy detection is never turned on by the merge
machinery.
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:

The version of Ubuntu Linux used by default at GitHub Actions CI
has been updated to one that lack coccinelle; until it gets fixed,
work it around by sticking to the previous release (18.04).
* tb/ci-run-cocci-with-18.04:
.github/workflows/main.yml: run static-analysis on bionic
Get rid of "GETTEXT_POISON" support altogether, which may or may
not be controversial.
* ab/detox-gettext-tests:
tests: remove uses of GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON=false
tests: remove support for GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON
ci: remove GETTEXT_POISON jobs
Update support for invalid UTF-8 in PCRE2.

Remove support for v1 of the PCRE library
config.mak.uname: remove redundant NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT flag
Some pretty-format specifiers do not need the data in commit object
(e.g. "%H"), but we were over-eager to load and parse it, which has
been made even lazier.

When "git rebase -i" processes "fixup" insn, there is no reason to
clean up the commit log message, but we did the usual stripspace
processing. This has been corrected.

rebase -i: do leave commit message intact in fixup! chains
Code clean-up.

grep/log: remove hidden --debug and --grep-debug options
Code clean-up to ensure our use of hashtables using object names as
keys use the "struct object_id" objects, not the raw hash values.

oid_pos(): access table through const pointers
hash_pos(): convert to oid_pos()
rerere: use strmap to store rerere directories

commit_graft_pos(): take an oid instead of a bare hash
GitHub Actions is transitioning workflow steps that run on
'ubuntu-latest' from 18.04 to 20.04 [1].
This works fine in all steps except the static-analysis one, since
Coccinelle isn't available on Ubuntu focal (it is only available in the
universe suite).
Until Coccinelle can be installed from 20.04's main suite, pin the
static-analysis build to run on 18.04, where it can be installed by
default.

Our setting of GitHub CI test jobs were a bit too eager to give up
once there is even one failure found. Tweak the knob to allow
other jobs keep running even when we see a failure, so that we can
find more failures in a single run.

ci: do not cancel all jobs of a matrix if one fails
The implementation of "git branch --sort" wrt the detached HEAD
display has always been hacky, which has been cleaned up.

branch: show "HEAD detached" first under reverse sort
branch: sort detached HEAD based on a flag
ref-filter: move ref_sorting flags to a bitfield
ref-filter: move "cmp_fn" assignment into "else if" arm
ref-filter: add braces to if/else if/else chain
branch tests: add to --sort tests
branch: change "--local" to "--list" in comment
