The struct commit is used in many contexts. However, members
`generation` and `graph_pos` are only used for commit-graph related
operations and otherwise waste memory.
This wastage would have been more pronounced as we transition to
generation number v2, which uses 64-bit generation number instead of
current 32-bits.
As they are often accessed together, let's introduce struct
commit_graph_data and move them to a commit_graph_data slab.
While the overall test suite runs just as fast as master,
(series: 26m48s, master: 27m34s, faster by 2.87%), certain commands
like `git merge-base --is-ancestor` were slowed by 40% as discovered
by Szeder Gábor [1]. After minimizing commit-slab access, the slow down
persists but is closer to 20%.
Derrick Stolee believes the slow down is attributable to the underlying
algorithm rather than the slowness of commit-slab access [2] and we will
follow-up in a later series.

Since 7c5c9b9c57 (commit-graph: error out on invalid commit oids in
'write --stdin-commits', 2019-08-05), the commit-graph builtin dies on
receiving non-commit OIDs as input to '--stdin-commits'.
This behavior can be cumbersome to work around in, say, the case of
piping 'git for-each-ref' to 'git commit-graph write --stdin-commits' if
the caller does not want to cull out non-commits themselves. In this
situation, it would be ideal if 'git commit-graph write' wrote the graph
containing the inputs that did pertain to commits, and silently ignored
the remainder of the input.
Some options have been proposed to the effect of '--[no-]check-oids'
which would allow callers to have the commit-graph builtin do just that.
After some discussion, it is difficult to imagine a caller who wouldn't
want to pass '--no-check-oids', suggesting that we should get rid of the
behavior of complaining about non-commit inputs altogether.
If callers do wish to retain this behavior, they can easily work around
this change by doing the following:
git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(objecttype) %(*objecttype)' |
awk '
!/commit/ { print "not-a-commit:"$1 }
/commit/ { print $1 }
' |
git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
To make it so that valid OIDs that refer to non-existent objects are
indeed an error after loosening the error handling, perform an extra
lookup to make sure that object indeed exists before sending it to the
commit-graph internals.

The 'write_commit_graph()' function takes in either a string list of
pack indices, or a string list of hexadecimal commit OIDs. These
correspond to the '--stdin-packs' and '--stdin-commits' mode(s) from
'git commit-graph write'.
Using a string_list of hexadecimal commit IDs is not the most efficient
use of memory, since we can instead use the 'struct oidset', which is
more well-suited for this case.
This has another benefit which will become apparent in the following
commit. This is that we are about to disambiguate the kinds of errors we
produce with '--stdin-commits' into "non-hex input" and "hex-input, but
referring to a non-commit object". By having 'write_commit_graph' take
in a 'struct oidset *' of commits, we place the burden on the caller (in
this case, the builtin) to handle the first case, and the commit-graph
machinery can handle the second case.

When using split commit-graphs, it is sometimes useful to completely
replace the commit-graph chain with a new base.
For example, consider a scenario in which a repository builds a new
commit-graph incremental for each push. Occasionally (say, after some
fixed number of pushes), they may wish to rebuild the commit-graph chain
with all reachable commits.
They can do so with
$ git commit-graph write --reachable
but this removes the chain entirely and replaces it with a single
commit-graph in 'objects/info/commit-graph'. Unfortunately, this means
that the next push will have to move this commit-graph into the first
layer of a new chain, and then write its new commits on top.
Avoid such copying entirely by allowing the caller to specify that they
wish to replace the entirety of their commit-graph chain, while also
specifying that the new commit-graph should become the basis of a fresh,
length-one chain.
This addresses the above situation by making it possible for the caller
to instead write:
$ git commit-graph write --reachable --split=replace
which writes a new length-one chain to 'objects/info/commit-graphs',
making the commit-graph incremental generated by the subsequent push
relatively cheap by avoiding the aforementioned copy.
In order to do this, remove an assumption in 'write_commit_graph_file'
that chains are always at least two incrementals long.

In the previous commit, we laid the groundwork for supporting different
splitting strategies. In this commit, we introduce the first splitting
strategy: 'no-merge'.
Passing '--split=no-merge' is useful for callers which wish to write a
new incremental commit-graph, but do not want to spend effort condensing
the incremental chain [1]. Previously, this was possible by passing
'--size-multiple=0', but this no longer the case following 63020f175f
(commit-graph: prefer default size_mult when given zero, 2020-01-02).
When '--split=no-merge' is given, the commit-graph machinery will never
condense an existing chain, and it will always write a new incremental.
[1]: This might occur when, for example, a server administrator running
some program after each push may want to ensure that each job runs
proportional in time to the size of the push, and does not "jump" when
the commit-graph machinery decides to trigger a merge.

With '--split', the commit-graph machinery writes new commits in another
incremental commit-graph which is part of the existing chain, and
optionally decides to condense the chain into a single commit-graph.
This is done to ensure that the asymptotic behavior of looking up a
commit in an incremental chain is not dominated by the number of
incrementals in that chain. It can be controlled by the '--max-commits'
and '--size-multiple' options.
In the next two commits, we will introduce additional splitting
strategies that can exert additional control over:
- when a split commit-graph is and isn't written, and
- when the existing commit-graph chain is discarded completely and
replaced with another graph
To prepare for this, make '--split' take an optional strategy (as in
'--split[=<strategy>]'), and add a new enum to describe which strategy
is being used. For now, no strategies are given, and the only enumerated
value is 'COMMIT_GRAPH_SPLIT_UNSPECIFIED', indicating the absence of a
strategy.

As of the previous patch, all calls to 'commit-graph.c' functions which
perform path normalization (for e.g., 'get_commit_graph_filename()') are
of the form 'ctx->odb->path', which is always in normalized form.
Now that there are no callers passing non-normalized paths to these
functions, ensure that future callers are bound by the same restrictions
by making these functions take a 'struct object_directory *' instead of
a 'const char *'. To match, replace all calls with arguments of the form
'ctx->odb->path' with 'ctx->odb' To recover the path, functions that
perform path manipulation simply use 'odb->path'.
Further, avoid string comparisons with arguments of the form
'odb->path', and instead prefer raw pointer comparisons, which
accomplish the same effect, but are far less brittle.
This has a pleasant side-effect of making these functions much more
robust to paths that cannot be normalized by 'normalize_path_copy()',
i.e., because they are outside of the current working directory.
For example, prior to this patch, Valgrind reports that the following
uninitialized memory read [1]:
$ ( cd t && GIT_DIR=../.git valgrind git rev-parse HEAD^ )
because 'normalize_path_copy()' can't normalize '../.git' (since it's
relative to but above of the current working directory) [2].
By using a 'struct object_directory *' directly,
'get_commit_graph_filename()' does not need to normalize, because all
paths are relative to the current working directory since they are
always read from the '->path' of an object directory.
[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191027042116.GA5801@sigill.intra.peff.net.
[2]: The bug here is that 'get_commit_graph_filename()' returns the

value.

In a previous patch, the 'char *object_dir' in 'struct commit_graph' was
replaced with a 'struct object_directory'. This patch applies the same
treatment to 'struct commit_graph', which is another intermediate step
towards getting rid of all path normalization in 'commit-graph.c'.
Instead of taking a 'char *object_dir', functions that construct a
'struct commit_graph' now take a 'struct object_directory *'. Any code
that needs an object directory path use '->path' instead.
This ensures that all calls to functions that perform path normalization
are given arguments which do not themselves require normalization. This
prepares those functions to drop their normalization entirely, which
will occur in the subsequent patch.

There are lots of places in 'commit-graph.h' where a function either has
(or almost has) a full 'struct object_directory *', accesses '->path',
and then throws away the rest of the struct.
This can cause headaches when comparing the locations of object
directories across alternates (e.g., in the case of deciding if two
commit-graph layers can be merged). These paths are normalized with
'normalize_path_copy()' which mitigates some comparison issues, but not
all [1].
Replace usage of 'char *object_dir' with 'odb->path' by storing a
'struct object_directory *' in the 'write_commit_graph_context'
structure. This is an intermediate step towards getting rid of all path
normalization in 'commit-graph.c'.
Resolving a user-provided '--object-dir' argument now requires that we
compare it to the known alternates for equality. Prior to this patch,
an unknown '--object-dir' argument would silently exit with status zero.
This can clearly lead to unintended behavior, such as verifying
commit-graphs that aren't in a repository's own object store (or one of
its alternates), or causing a typo to mask a legitimate commit-graph
verification failure. Make this error non-silent by 'die()'-ing when the
given '--object-dir' does not match any known alternate object store.
[1]: In my testing, for example, I can get one side of the commit-graph
code to fill object_dir with "./objects" and the other with just
"objects".

When the client has asked for certain shallow options like
"deepen-since", we do a custom rev-list walk that pretends to be
shallow. Before doing so, we have to disable the commit-graph, since it
is not compatible with the shallow view of the repository. That's
handled by 829a321569 (commit-graph: close_commit_graph before shallow
walk, 2018-08-20). That commit literally closes and frees our
repo->objects->commit_graph struct.
That creates an interesting problem for commits that have _already_ been
parsed using the commit graph. Their commit->object.parsed flag is set,
their commit->graph_pos is set, but their commit->maybe_tree may still
be NULL. When somebody later calls repo_get_commit_tree(), we see that
we haven't loaded the tree oid yet and try to get it from the commit
graph. But since it has been freed, we segfault!
So the root of the issue is a data dependency between the commit's
lazy-load of the tree oid and the fact that the commit graph can go
away mid-process. How can we resolve it?
There are a couple of general approaches:
1. The obvious answer is to avoid loading the tree from the graph when
we see that it's NULL. But then what do we return for the tree oid?
If we return NULL, our caller in do_traverse() will rightly
complain that we have no tree. We'd have to fallback to loading the
actual commit object and re-parsing it. That requires teaching
parse_commit_buffer() to understand re-parsing (i.e., not starting
from a clean slate and not leaking any allocated bits like parent
list pointers).
2. When we close the commit graph, walk through the set of in-memory
objects and clear any graph_pos pointers. But this means we also
have to "unparse" any such commits so that we know they still need
to open the commit object to fill in their trees. So it's no less
complicated than (1), and is more expensive (since we clear objects
we might not later need).
3. Stop freeing the commit-graph struct. Continue to let it be used
for lazy-loads of tree oids, but let upload-pack specify that it
shouldn't be used for further commit parsing.
4. Push the whole shallow rev-list out to its own sub-process, with
the commit-graph disabled from the start, giving it a clean memory
space to work from.
I've chosen (3) here. Options (1) and (2) would work, but are
non-trivial to implement. Option (4) is more expensive, and I'm not sure
how complicated it is (shelling out for the actual rev-list part is
easy, but we do then parse the resulting commits internally, and I'm not
clear which parts need to be handling shallow-ness).
The new test in t5500 triggers this segfault, but see the comments there
for how horribly intimate it has to be with how both upload-pack and
commit graphs work.

return with error otherwise, the same way '--stdin-packs' handles
invalid input; see e103f7276f (commit-graph: return with errors during

Note that it should only return with error when encountering an
invalid commit object id coming from standard input. However,
'--reachable' uses the same code path to process object ids pointed to
by all refs, and that includes tag object ids as well, which should
still be skipped over. Therefore add a new flag to 'enum

In an environment like a fork network, it is helpful to have a

fork is usually a small set of data on top of the large repo, but
sometimes the fork is much larger. For example, git-for-windows/git has
almost double the number of commits as git/git because it rebases its
commits on every major version update.
To allow cross-alternate commit-graph chains, we need a few pieces:
1. When looking for a graph-{hash}.graph file, check all alternates.
2. When merging commit-graph chains, do not merge across alternates.
3. When writing a new commit-graph chain based on a commit-graph file
in another object directory, do not allow success if the base file
has of the name "commit-graph" instead of

Extend write_commit_graph() to write a commit-graph chain when given the
COMMIT_GRAPH_SPLIT flag.
This implementation is purposefully simplistic in how it creates a new
chain. The commits not already in the chain are added to a new tip
commit-graph file.
Much of the logic around writing a graph-{hash}.graph file and updating
the commit-graph-chain file is the same as the commit-graph file case.
However, there are several places where we need to do some extra logic
in the split case.
Track the list of graph filenames before and after the planned write.
This will be more important when we start merging graph files, but it
also allows us to upgrade our commit-graph file to the appropriate
graph-{hash}.graph file when we upgrade to a chain of commit-graphs.
Note that we use the eighth byte of the commit-graph header to store the
number of base graph files. This determines the length of the base
graphs chunk.
A subtle change of behavior with the new logic is that we do not write a
commit-graph if we our commit list is empty. This extends to the typical
case, which is reflected in t5318-commit-graph.sh.

To prepare for a chain of commit-graph files, augment the
commit_graph struct to point to a base commit_graph. As we load
commits from the graph, we may actually want to read from a base
file according to the graph position.
The "graph position" of a commit is given by concatenating the
lexicographic commit orders from each of the commit-graph files in
the chain. This means that we must distinguish two values:
* lexicographic index : the position within the lexicographic
order in a single commit-graph file.
* graph position: the position within the concatenated order
of multiple commit-graph files
Given the lexicographic index of a commit in a graph, we can
compute the graph position by adding the number of commits in
the lower-level graphs. To find the lexicographic index of
a commit, we subtract the number of commits in lower-level graphs.
While here, change insert_parent_or_die() to take a uint32_t
position, as that is the type used by its only caller and that
makes more sense with the limits in the commit-graph format.

When the commit-graph is written we end up calling
parse_commit(). This will in turn invoke code that'll consult the
existing commit-graph about the commit, if the graph is corrupted we
die.
We thus get into a state where a failing "commit-graph verify" can't
be followed-up with a "commit-graph write" if core.commitGraph=true is
set, the graph either needs to be manually removed to proceed, or
core.commitGraph needs to be set to "false".
Change the "commit-graph write" codepath to use a new
parse_commit_no_graph() helper instead of parse_commit() to avoid
this. The latter will call repo_parse_commit_internal() with
use_commit_graph=1 as seen in 177722b344 ("commit: integrate commit
graph with commit parsing", 2018-04-10).
Not using the old graph at all slows down the writing of the new graph
by some small amount, but is a sensible way to prevent an error in the
existing commit-graph from spreading.
Just fixing the current issue would be likely to result in code that's
inadvertently broken in the future. New code might use the
commit-graph at a distance. To detect such cases introduce a
"GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_DIE_ON_LOAD" setting used when we do our
corruption tests, and test that a "write/verify" combo works after
every one of our current test cases where we now detect commit-graph
corruption.
Some of the code changes here might be strictly unnecessary, e.g. I
was unable to find cases where the parse_commit() called from
write_graph_chunk_data() didn't exit early due to
"item->object.parsed" being true in
repo_parse_commit_internal() (before the use_commit_graph=1 has any
effect). But let's also convert those cases for good measure, we do
not have exhaustive tests for all possible types of commit-graph
corruption.
This might need to be re-visited if we learn to write the commit-graph
incrementally, but probably not. Hopefully we'll just start by finding
out what commits we have in total, then read the old graph(s) to see
what they cover, and finally write a new graph file with everything
that's missing. In that case the new graph writing code just needs to
continue to use e.g. a parse_commit() that doesn't consult the
existing commit-graphs.

that was bug-compatible with earlier code in terms of the "graph file
%s is too small" error message printing out the path to the
commit-graph (".git/objects/info/commit-graph").
But change that, because:
* A function that takes an already-open file descriptor also needing
the filename isn't very intuitive.
* The vast majority of errors we might emit when loading the graph
come from parse_commit_graph(), which doesn't report the
filename. Let's not do that either in this case for consistency.

Make the commit-graph loading code work as a library that returns an
error code instead of calling exit(1) when the commit-graph is
corrupt. This means that e.g. "status" will now report commit-graph
corruption as an "error: [...]" at the top of its output, but then
proceed to work normally.
This required splitting up the load_commit_graph_one() function so
that the code that deals with open()-ing and stat()-ing the graph can
now be called independently as open_commit_graph().
This is needed because "commit-graph verify" where the graph doesn't
exist isn't an error. See the third paragraph in
283e68c72f ("commit-graph: add 'verify' subcommand",
2018-06-27). There's a bug in that logic where we conflate the
intended ENOENT with other errno values (e.g. EACCES), but this change
doesn't address that. That'll be addressed in a follow-up change.
I'm then splitting most of the logic out of load_commit_graph_one()
into load_commit_graph_one_fd_st(), which allows for providing an
existing file descriptor and stat information to the loading
code. This isn't strictly needed, but it would be redundant and
confusing to open() and stat() the file twice for some of the
codepaths, this allows for calling open_commit_graph() followed by
load_commit_graph_one_fd_st(). The "graph_file" still needs to be
passed to that function for the the "graph file %s is too small" error
message.
This leaves load_commit_graph_one() unused by everything except the
internal prepare_commit_graph_one() function, so let's mark it as
"static". If someone needs it in the future we can remove the "static"
attribute. I could also rewrite its sole remaining
user ("prepare_commit_graph_one()") to use
load_commit_graph_one_fd_st() instead, but let's leave it at this.

The codepath to show progress meter while writing out commit-graph
file has been improved.
* ab/commit-graph-write-progress:
commit-graph write: emit a percentage for all progress
commit-graph write: add itermediate progress
commit-graph write: remove empty line for readability
commit-graph write: add more descriptive progress output
commit-graph write: show progress for object search
commit-graph write: more descriptive "writing out" output
commit-graph write: add "Writing out" progress output
commit-graph: don't call write_graph_chunk_extra_edges() unnecessarily
commit-graph: rename "large edges" to "extra edges"
The optional 'Large Edge List' chunk of the commit graph file stores
parent information for commits with more than two parents, and the
names of most of the macros, variables, struct fields, and functions
related to this chunk contain the term "large edges", e.g.
write_graph_chunk_large_edges(). However, it's not a really great
term, as the edges to the second and subsequent parents stored in this
chunk are not any larger than the edges to the first and second
parents stored in the "main" 'Commit Data' chunk. It's the number of
edges, IOW number of parents, that is larger compared to non-merge and
"regular" two-parent merge commits. And indeed, two functions in
'commit-graph.c' have a local variable called 'num_extra_edges' that
refer to the same thing, and this "extra edges" term is much better at
describing these edges.
So let's rename all these references to "large edges" in macro,
variable, function, etc. names to "extra edges". There is a
GRAPH_OCTOPUS_EDGES_NEEDED macro as well; for the sake of consistency
rename it to GRAPH_EXTRA_EDGES_NEEDED.
We can do so safely without causing any incompatibility issues,
because the term "large edges" doesn't come up in the file format
itself in any form (the chunk's magic is {'E', 'D', 'G', 'E'}, there
is no 'L' in there), but only in the specification text. The string
"large edges", however, does come up in the output of 'git
commit-graph read' and in tests looking at its input, but that command
is explicitly documented as debugging aid, so we can change its output
and the affected tests safely.

Break load_commit_graph_one() into a new function, parse_commit_graph().
The latter function operates on arbitrary buffers, which makes it
suitable as a fuzzing target. Since parse_commit_graph() is only called
by load_commit_graph_one() (and the fuzzer described below), we omit
error messages that would be duplicated by the caller.
Adds fuzz-commit-graph.c, which provides a fuzzing entry point
compatible with libFuzzer (and possibly other fuzzing engines).

Before this change the "commit-graph write" command didn't report any
progress. On my machine this command takes more than 10 seconds to
write the graph for linux.git, and around 1m30s on the
2015-04-03-1M-git.git[1] test repository (a test case for a large
monorepository).
Furthermore, since the gc.writeCommitGraph setting was added in
d5d5d7b641 ("gc: automatically write commit-graph files", 2018-06-27),
there was no indication at all from a "git gc" run that anything was
different. This why one of the progress bars being added here uses
start_progress() instead of start_delayed_progress(), so that it's
guaranteed to be seen. E.g. on my tiny 867 commit dotfiles.git
repository:
$ git -c gc.writeCommitGraph=true gc
Enumerating objects: 2821, done.
[...]
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (867/867), done.
On larger repositories, such as linux.git the delayed progress bar(s)
will kick in, and we'll show what's going on instead of, as was
previously happening, printing nothing while we write the graph:
$ git -c gc.writeCommitGraph=true gc
[...]
Annotating commits in commit graph: 1565573, done.
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (782484/782484), done.
Note that here we don't show "Finding commits for commit graph", this
is because under "git gc" we seed the search with the commit
references in the repository, and that set is too small to show any
progress, but would e.g. on a smaller repo such as git.git with
--stdin-commits:
$ git rev-list --all | git -c gc.writeCommitGraph=true write --stdin-commits
Finding commits for commit graph: 100% (162576/162576), done.
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (162576/162576), done.
With --stdin-packs we don't show any estimation of how much is left to
do. This is because we might be processing more than one pack. We
could be less lazy here and show progress, either by detecting that
we're only processing one pack, or by first looping over the packs to
discover how many commits they have. I don't see the point in doing
that work. So instead we get (on 2015-04-03-1M-git.git):
$ echo pack-<HASH>.idx | git -c gc.writeCommitGraph=true --exec-path=$PWD commit-graph write --stdin-packs
Finding commits for commit graph: 13064614, done.
Annotating commits in commit graph: 3001341, done.
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (1000447/1000447), done.
No GC mode uses --stdin-packs. It's what they use at Microsoft to
manually compute the generation numbers for their collection of large
packs which are never coalesced.
The reason we need a "report_progress" variable passed down from "git
gc" is so that we don't report this output when we're running in the
process "git gc --auto" detaches from the terminal.
Since we write the commit graph from the "git gc" process itself (as
opposed to what we do with say the "git repack" phase), we'd end up
writing the output to .git/gc.log and reporting it to the user next
time as part of the "The last gc run reported the following[...]"
error, see 329e6e8794 ("gc: save log from daemonized gc --auto and
print it next time", 2015-09-19).
So we must keep track of whether or not we're running in that
demonized mode, and if so print no progress.
See [2] and subsequent replies for a discussion of an approach not
taken in compute_generation_numbers(). I.e. we're saying "Computing
commit graph generation numbers", even though on an established
history we're mostly skipping over all the work we did in the
past. This is similar to the white lie we tell in the "Writing
objects" phase (not all are objects being written).
Always showing progress is considered more important than
accuracy. I.e. on a repository like 2015-04-03-1M-git.git we'd hang
for 6 seconds with no output on the second "git gc" if no changes were
made to any objects in the interim if we'd take the approach in [2].

The commit-graph feature is tested in isolation by
t5318-commit-graph.sh and t6600-test-reach.sh, but there are many
more interesting scenarios involving commit walks. Many of these
scenarios are covered by the existing test suite, but we need to
maintain coverage when the optional commit-graph structure is not
present.
To allow running the full test suite with the commit-graph present,
add a new test environment variable, GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Similar
to GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX, this variable makes every Git command try
to load the commit-graph when parsing commits, and writes the
commit-graph file after every 'git commit' command.
There are a few tests that rely on commits not existing in
pack-files to trigger important events, so manually set
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH to false for the necessary commands.
There is one test in t6024-recursive-merge.sh that relies on the
merge-base algorithm picking one of two ambiguous merge-bases, and
the commit-graph feature changes which merge-base is picked.

Call close_commit_graph() when about to start a rev-list walk that
includes shallow commits. This is necessary in code paths that "fake"
shallow commits for the sake of fetch. Specifically, test 351 in
t5500-fetch-pack.sh runs
git fetch --shallow-exclude one origin
with a file-based transfer. When the "remote" has a commit-graph, we do
not prevent the commit-graph from being loaded, but then the commits are
intended to be dynamically transferred into shallow commits during
get_shallow_commits_by_rev_list(). By closing the commit-graph before
this call, we prevent this interaction.

The is_descendant_of method previously used in_merge_bases() to check if
the commit can reach any of the commits in the provided list. This had
two performance problems:
1. The performance is quadratic in worst-case.
2. A single in_merge_bases() call requires walking beyond the target
commit in order to find the full set of boundary commits that may be
merge-bases.
The can_all_from_reach method avoids this quadratic behavior and can
limit the search beyond the target commits using generation numbers. It
requires a small prototype adjustment to stop using commit-date as a
cutoff, as that optimization is no longer appropriate here.
Since in_merge_bases() uses paint_down_to_common(), is_descendant_of()
naturally found cutoffs to avoid walking the entire commit graph. Since
we want to always return the correct result, we cannot use the
min_commit_date cutoff in can_all_from_reach. We then rely on generation
numbers to provide the cutoff.
Since not all repos will have a commit-graph file, nor will we always
have generation numbers computed for a commit-graph file, create a new
method, generation_numbers_enabled(), that checks for a commit-graph
file and sees if the first commit in the file has a non-zero generation
number. In the case that we do not have generation numbers, use the old
logic for is_descendant_of().
Performance was meausured on a copy of the Linux repository using the
'test-tool reach is_descendant_of' command using this input:
A:v4.9
X:v4.10
X:v4.11
X:v4.12
X:v4.13
X:v4.14
X:v4.15
X:v4.16
X:v4.17
X.v3.0
Note that this input is tailored to demonstrate the quadratic nature of
the previous method, as it will compute merge-bases for v4.9 versus all
of the later versions before checking against v4.1.
Before: 0.26 s
After: 0.21 s
Since we previously used the is_descendant_of method in the ref_newer
method, we also measured performance there using
'test-tool reach ref_newer' with this input:
A:v4.9
B:v3.19
Before: 0.10 s
After: 0.08 s
By adding a new commit with parent v3.19, we test the non-reachable case
of ref_newer:
Before: 0.09 s
After: 0.08 s

Add a struct repository argument to the functions in commit-graph.h that
read the commit graph. (This commit does not affect functions that write
commit graphs.)
Because the commit graph functions can now read the commit graph of any
repository, the global variable core_commit_graph has been removed.
Instead, the config option core.commitGraph is now read on the first
time in a repository that a commit is attempted to be parsed using its
commit graph.
This commit includes a test that exercises the functionality on an
arbitrary repository that is not the_repository.

If the commit-graph file becomes corrupt, we need a way to verify
that its contents match the object database. In the manner of
'git fsck' we will implement a 'git commit-graph verify' subcommand
to report all issues with the file.
Add the 'verify' subcommand to the 'commit-graph' builtin and its
documentation. The subcommand is currently a no-op except for
loading the commit-graph into memory, which may trigger run-time
errors that would be caught by normal use. Add a simple test that
ensures the command returns a zero error code.
If no commit-graph file exists, this is an acceptable state. Do
not report any errors.
