564e94e619 perf: add basic sort performance test
Add a sort command to test-string-list that reads lines from stdin,
stores them in a string_list and then sorts it.  Use it in a simple
perf test script to measure the performance of string_list_sort().

9fcd14491d Merge branch 'jk/fetch-quick-tag-following'
When fetching from a remote that has many tags that are irrelevant
to branches we are following, we used to waste way too many cycles
when checking if the object pointed at by a tag (that we are not
going to fetch!) exists in our repository too carefully.

  fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag following

5827a03545 fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag following
When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the
tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't
already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to.
This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of
which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74
(has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up,
2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to
reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive.

This has gone unnoticed for several years because it
requires a fairly unique setup to matter:

  1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to
     make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most
     expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted
     list, which is currently quadratic).

  2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side
     that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the
     client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of
     the pack directory.

  3. Under normal circumstances, the client would
     auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2)
     would no longer be true. But if those tags point to
     history which is disconnected from what the client
     otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and
     those candidates will impact it on every fetch.

So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra
O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons
on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0
(prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check,
2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string
check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't
happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here
is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()).

This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice
accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a
simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077
(index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory,
2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file()
occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because
the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may
fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it.

Here are results from the included perf script, which sets
up a situation similar to the one described above:

Test            HEAD^               HEAD

645c432d61 pack-objects: use reachability bitmap index when generating non-stdout pack
Starting from 6b8fda2d (pack-objects: use bitmaps when packing objects)
if a repository has bitmap index, pack-objects can nicely speedup
"Counting objects" graph traversal phase. That however was done only for
case when resultant pack is sent to stdout, not written into a file.

The reason here is for on-disk repack by default we want:

- to produce good pack (with bitmap index not-yet-packed objects are
  emitted to pack in suboptimal order).

- to use more robust pack-generation codepath (avoiding possible
  bugs in bitmap code and possible bitmap index corruption).

Jeff King further explains:

    The reason for this split is that pack-objects tries to determine how
    "careful" it should be based on whether we are packing to disk or to
    stdout. Packing to disk implies "git repack", and that we will likely
    delete the old packs after finishing. We want to be more careful (so
    as not to carry forward a corruption, and to generate a more optimal
    pack), and we presumably run less frequently and can afford extra CPU.
    Whereas packing to stdout implies serving a remote via "git fetch" or
    "git push". This happens more frequently (e.g., a server handling many
    fetching clients), and we assume the receiving end takes more
    responsibility for verifying the data.

    But this isn't always the case. One might want to generate on-disk
    packfiles for a specialized object transfer. Just using "--stdout" and
    writing to a file is not optimal, as it will not generate the matching
    pack index.

    So it would be useful to have some way of overriding this heuristic:
    to tell pack-objects that even though it should generate on-disk
    files, it is still OK to use the reachability bitmaps to do the
    traversal.

So we can teach pack-objects to use bitmap index for initial object
counting phase when generating resultant pack file too:

- if we take care to not let it be activated under git-repack:

  See above about repack robustness and not forward-carrying corruption.

- if we know bitmap index generation is not enabled for resultant pack:

  The current code has singleton bitmap_git, so it cannot work
  simultaneously with two bitmap indices.

  We also want to avoid (at least with current implementation)
  generating bitmaps off of bitmaps. The reason here is: when generating
  a pack, not-yet-packed objects will be emitted into pack in
  suboptimal order and added to tail of the bitmap as "extended entries".
  When the resultant pack + some new objects in associated repository
  are in turn used to generate another pack with bitmap, the situation
  repeats: new objects are again not emitted optimally and just added to
  bitmap tail - not in recency order.

  So the pack badness can grow over time when at each step we have
  bitmapped pack + some other objects. That's why we want to avoid
  generating bitmaps off of bitmaps, not to let pack badness grow.

- if we keep pack reuse enabled still only for "send-to-stdout" case:

  Because pack-to-file needs to generate index for destination pack, and
  currently on pack reuse raw entries are directly written out to the
  destination pack by write_reused_pack(), bypassing needed for pack index
  generation bookkeeping done by regular codepath in write_one() and
  friends.

  ( In the future we might teach pack-reuse code about cases when index
    also needs to be generated for resultant pack and remove
    pack-reuse-only-for-stdout limitation )

This way for pack-objects -> file we get nice speedup:

    erp5.git[1] (~230MB) extracted from ~ 5GB lab.nexedi.com backup
    repository managed by git-backup[2] via

    time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --revs erp5pack

before:  37.2s
after:   26.2s

And for `git repack -adb` packed git.git

    time echo 5c589a73 | git pack-objects --revs gitpack

before:   7.1s
after:    3.6s

i.e. it can be 30% - 50% speedup for pack extraction.

git-backup extracts many packs on repositories restoration. That was my
initial motivation for the patch.

[1] https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/erp5
[2] https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup

NOTE

Jeff also suggests that pack.useBitmaps was probably a mistake to
introduce originally. This way we are not adding another config point,
but instead just always default to-file pack-objects not to use bitmap
index: Tools which need to generate on-disk packs with using bitmap, can
pass --use-bitmap-index explicitly. And git-repack does never pass
--use-bitmap-index, so this way we can be sure regular on-disk repacking
remains robust.

NOTE2

`git pack-objects --stdout >file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack` is much slower
than `git pack-objects file.pack`. Extracting erp5.git pack from
lab.nexedi.com backup repository:

    $ time echo 0186ac99 | git pack-objects --stdout --revs >erp5pack-stdout.pack

    real    0m22.309s
    user    0m21.148s
    sys     0m0.932s

    $ time git index-pack erp5pack-stdout.pack

    real    0m50.873s   <-- more than 2 times slower than time to generate pack itself!
    user    0m49.300s
    sys     0m1.360s

So the time for

    `pack-object --stdout >file.pack` + `index-pack file.pack`  is  72s,

while

    `pack-objects file.pack` which does both pack and index     is  27s.

And even

    `pack-objects --no-use-bitmap-index file.pack`              is  37s.

Jeff explains:

    The packfile does not carry the sha1 of the objects. A receiving
    index-pack has to compute them itself, including inflating and applying
    all of the deltas.

that's why for `git-backup restore` we want to teach `git pack-objects
file.pack` to use bitmaps instead of using `git pack-objects --stdout
>file.pack` + `git index-pack file.pack`.

NOTE3

The speedup is now tracked via t/perf/p5310-pack-bitmaps.sh

you bump the delta base cache limit, but I think it makes
sense to test the "stock" behavior, since that is what most
people will see).

dd610aeda6 Merge branch 'kw/patch-ids-optim'
When "git rebase" tries to compare set of changes on the updated
upstream and our own branch, it computes patch-id for all of these

compared only for changes that touch the same set of paths.

b3dfeebb92 rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs
The `rebase` family of Git commands avoid applying patches that were
already integrated upstream. They do that by using the revision walking
option that computes the patch IDs of the two sides of the rebase
(local-only patches vs upstream-only ones) and skipping those local
patches whose patch ID matches one of the upstream ones.

In many cases, this causes unnecessary churn, as already the set of
paths touched by a given commit would suffice to determine that an
upstream patch has no local equivalent.

This hurts performance in particular when there are a lot of upstream
patches, and/or large ones.

Therefore, let's introduce the concept of a "diff-header-only" patch ID,
compare those first, and only evaluate the "full" patch ID lazily.

Please note that in contrast to the "full" patch IDs, those
"diff-header-only" patch IDs are prone to collide with one another, as
adjacent commits frequently touch the very same files. Hence we now
have to be careful to allow multiple hash entries with the same hash.
We accomplish that by using the hashmap_add() function that does not even
test for hash collisions.  This also allows us to evaluate the full patch ID
lazily, i.e. only when we found commits with matching diff-header-only
patch IDs.

We add a performance test that demonstrates ~1-6% improvement.  In
practice this will depend on various factors such as how many upstream
changes and how big those changes are along with whether file system
caches are cold or warm.  As Git's test suite has no way of catching
performance regressions, we also add a regression test that verifies
that the full patch ID computation is skipped when the diff-header-only
computation suffices.

77023ea3c3 t/perf: add tests for many-pack scenarios
Git's pack storage does efficient (log n) lookups in a
single packfile's index, but if we have multiple packfiles,
we have to linearly search each for a given object.  This
patch introduces some timing tests for cases where we have a
large number of packs, so that we can measure any
improvements we make in the following patches.

The main thing we want to time is object lookup. To do this,
we measure "git rev-list --objects --all", which does a
fairly large number of object lookups (essentially one per
object in the repository).

However, we also measure the time to do a full repack, which
is interesting for two reasons. One is that in addition to
the usual pack lookup, it has its own linear iteration over
the list of packs. And two is that because it it is the tool
one uses to go from an inefficient many-pack situation back
to a single pack, we care about its performance not only at
marginal numbers of packs, but at the extreme cases (e.g.,
if you somehow end up with 5,000 packs, it is the only way
to get back to 1 pack, so we need to make sure it performs
well).

We measure the performance of each command in three
scenarios: 1 pack, 50 packs, and 1,000 packs.

The 1-pack case is a baseline; any optimizations we do to
handle multiple packs cannot possibly perform better than
this.

The 50-pack case is as far as Git should generally allow
your repository to go, if you have auto-gc enabled with the
default settings. So this represents the maximum performance
improvement we would expect under normal circumstances.

The 1,000-pack case is hopefully rare, though I have seen it
in the wild where automatic maintenance was broken for some
time (and the repository continued to receive pushes). This
represents cases where we care less about general
performance, but want to make sure that a full repack
command does not take excessively long.

1a0962dee5 t/perf: fix regression in testing older versions of git
Commit 7501b59 (perf: make the tests work in worktrees,
2016-05-13) introduced the use of "git rev-parse --git-path"
in the perf-lib setup code. Because the to-be-tested version
of git is at the front of the $PATH when this code runs,
this means we cannot use modern versions of t/perf to test
versions of git older than v2.5.0 (when that option was
introduced).

This is a symptom of a more general problem. The t/perf
suite is essentially independent of git versions, and
ideally we would be able to run the most modern and complete
set of tests across many historical versions (to see how
they compare). But any setup code they run is therefore
required to use the lowest common denominator we expect to
test.

So let's introduce a new variable, $MODERN_GIT, that we can
use both in perf-lib and in the test setup to get a reliable
set of git features (we might change git and break some
tests, of course, but $MODERN_GIT is tied to the same
version of git as the t/perf scripts, so they can be fixed
or adjusted together).

This commit fixes the "--git-path" case, but does not
mass-convert existing setup code to use $MODERN_GIT. Most
setup code is fairly vanilla and will work with effectively
all versions. But now the tool is there to fix any other
issues we find going forward.

e3efa94be9 perf: accommodate for MacOSX
As this developer has no access to MacOSX developer setups anymore,
Travis becomes the best bet to run performance tests on that OS.

However, on MacOSX /usr/bin/time is that good old BSD executable that
no Linux user cares about, as demonstrated by the perf-lib.sh's use
of GNU-ish extensions. And by the hard-coded path.

Let's just work around this issue by using gtime on MacOSX, the
Homebrew-provided GNU implementation onto which pretty much every
MacOSX power user falls back anyway.

To help other developers use Travis to run performance tests on
MacOSX, the .travis.yml file now sports a commented-out line that
installs GNU time via Homebrew.

e4cfe74cd0 perf: run "rebase -i" under perf
This developer spent a lot of time trying to speed up the interactive
rebase, in particular on Windows. And will continue to do so.

To make it easier to demonstrate the performance improvement, let's have
a reproducible performance test.

The topic branch we use to test performance was found using these shell
commands (essentially searching for a long-enough topic branch in Git's
own history that touched the same file multiple times):

	git rev-list --parents origin/master |
	grep ' .* ' |
	while read commit rest
	do
		patch_count=$(git rev-list --count $commit^..$commit^2)
		test $patch_count -gt 20 || continue

		merges="$(git rev-list --parents $commit^..$commit^2 |
			grep ' .* ')"
		test -z "$merges" || continue

		patches_per_file="$(git log --pretty=%H --name-only \
				$commit^..$commit^2 |
			grep -v '^$' |
			sort |
			uniq -c -d |
			sort -n -r)"
		test -n "$patches_per_file" &&
		test 20 -lt $(echo "$patches_per_file" |
			sed -n '1s/^ *\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p') || continue

		printf 'commit %s\n%s\n' "$commit" "$patches_per_file"
	done

Note that we can get away with *not* having to reset to the original
branch tip before rebasing: we switch the first two "pick" lines every
time, so we end up with the same patch order after two rebases, and the
complexity of both rebases is equivalent.

the commondir file verbatim, even if it contained a relative path.

Furthermore, the setup code expected `git rev-parse --git-dir` to spit
out a relative path, which is also not true for worktrees. Let's just
change the code to accept both relative and absolute paths, by avoiding
the `cd` into the copied working directory.

fd9dbdfb3d perf: let's disable symlinks when they are not available
We already have a perfectly fine prereq to tell us whether it is safe to
use symlinks. So let's use it.

This fixes the performance tests in Git for Windows' SDK, where symlinks
are not really available ([*1*]). This is not an issue with Git for
Windows itself because it configures core.symlinks=false in its system
config.  However, the system config is disabled for the performance
tests, for obvious reasons: we want them to be independent of the
vagaries of any local configuration.

Footnote *1*: Windows has symbolic links. Git for Windows disables them
by default, though (for example: in standard setups, non-admins lack the
privilege to create symbolic links). For details, see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Symbolic-Links

a2d5156c2b resolve_gitlink_ref: ignore non-repository paths
When we want to look up a submodule ref, we use
get_ref_cache(path) to find or auto-create its ref cache.
But if we feed a path that isn't actually a git repository,
we blindly create the ref cache, and then may die deeper in
the code when we try to access it. This is a problem because
many callers speculatively feed us a path that looks vaguely
like a repository, and expect us to tell them when it is
not.

This patch teaches resolve_gitlink_ref to reject
non-repository paths without creating a ref_cache. This
avoids the die(), and also performs better if you have a
large number of these faux-submodule directories (because
the ref_cache lookup is linear, under the assumption that
there won't be a large number of submodules).

To accomplish this, we also break get_ref_cache into two
pieces: the lookup and auto-creation (the latter is lumped
into create_ref_cache). This lets us first cheaply ask our
cache "is it a submodule we know about?" If so, we can avoid
repeating our filesystem lookup. So lookups of real
submodules are not penalized; they examine the submodule's
.git directory only once.

The test in t3000 demonstrates a case where this improves
correctness (we used to just die). The new perf case in
p7300 shows off the speed improvement in an admittedly
pathological repository:

Test                  HEAD^               HEAD

348d4f2fc5 filter-branch: skip index read/write when possible
If the user specifies an index filter but not a tree filter,
filter-branch cleverly avoids checking out the tree
entirely. But we don't do the next level of optimization: if
you have no index or tree filter, we do not need to read the

This can greatly speed up cases where we are only changing
the commit objects (e.g., cementing a graft into place).

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command

command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

We time a straight "rev-list --all" and its "--object"

do not time a partial history walk. This patch adds an
extreme case: a walk over a very small slice of history, but
with a very large set of UNINTERESTING tips. This is similar
to the connectivity check run by git on a small fetch, or
the walk done by any pre-receive hooks that want to check
incoming commits.

This test reveals a performance regression in git v1.8.4.2,
caused by fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges

ae4f07fbcc pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.

In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.

As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.

The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.

But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.

This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.

Here are perf results for p5310:

Test                      origin/master       HEAD^                      HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.2: repack to disk    36.81(37.82+1.43)   47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6%   47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7%
5310.3: simulated clone   30.78(29.70+2.14)   1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5%     1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5%
5310.4: simulated fetch   3.16(6.10+0.08)     3.54(10.65+0.06) +12.0%    1.70(3.07+0.06) -46.2%
5310.6: partial bitmap    36.76(43.19+1.81)   6.71(11.25+0.76) -81.7%    4.08(6.26+0.46) -88.9%

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

bbcefa1f3f t/perf: add tests for pack bitmaps
This adds a few basic perf tests for the pack bitmap code to
show off its improvements. The tests are:

  1. How long does it take to do a repack (it gets slower
     with bitmaps, since we have to do extra work)?

  2. How long does it take to do a clone (it gets faster
     with bitmaps)?

  3. How does a small fetch perform when we've just
     repacked?

  4. How does a clone perform when we haven't repacked since
     a week of pushes?

Here are results against linux.git:

Test                      origin/master       this tree
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.2: repack to disk    33.64(32.64+2.04)   67.67(66.75+1.84) +101.2%
5310.3: simulated clone   30.49(29.47+2.05)   1.20(1.10+0.10) -96.1%
5310.4: simulated fetch   3.49(6.79+0.06)     5.57(22.35+0.07) +59.6%
5310.6: partial bitmap    36.70(43.87+1.81)   8.18(21.92+0.73) -77.7%

You can see that we do take longer to repack, but we do way
better for further clones. A small fetch performs a bit
worse, as we spend way more time on delta compression (note
the heavy user CPU time, as we have 8 threads) due to the
lack of name hashes for the bitmapped objects.

The final test shows how the bitmaps degrade over time
between packs. There's still a significant speedup over the
non-bitmap case, but we don't do quite as well (we have to
spend time accessing the "new" objects the old fashioned
way, including delta compression).

gitmodules_config() when the --no-index option is given.  The times for
executing "git diff --no-index" in the WebKit repository are improved as
follows:

An additional improvement of this patch is that "git diff --no-index" no
longer breaks when the index file is corrupt, which makes it possible to
use it for investigating the broken repository.

To improve the possible usage as investigation tool for broken
repositories, setup_git_directory_gently() is also not called when the
--no-index option is given.

Also add a test to guard against future breakages, and a performance
test to show the improvements.

12da1d1f6f Implement line-history search (git log -L)
This is a rewrite of much of Bo's work, mainly in an effort to split
it into smaller, easier to understand routines.

The algorithm is built around the struct range_set, which encodes a
series of line ranges as intervals [a,b).  This is used in two
contexts:

* A set of lines we are tracking (which will change as we dig through
  history).
* To encode diffs, as pairs of ranges.

The main routine is range_set_map_across_diff().  It processes the
diff between a commit C and some parent P.  It determines which diff
hunks are relevant to the ranges tracked in C, and computes the new
ranges for P.

The algorithm is then simply to process history in topological order
from newest to oldest, computing ranges and (partial) diffs.  At
branch points, we need to merge the ranges we are watching.  We will
find that many commits do not affect the chosen ranges, and mark them
TREESAME (in addition to those already filtered by pathspec limiting).
Another pass of history simplification then gets rid of such commits.

This is wired as an extra filtering pass in the log machinery.  This
currently only reduces code duplication, but should allow for other
simplifications and options to be used.

Finally, we hook a diff printer into the output chain.  Ideally we
would wire directly into the diff logic, to optionally use features
like word diff.  However, that will require some major reworking of
the diff chain, so we completely replace the output with our own diff
for now.

As this was a GSoC project, and has quite some history by now, many
people have helped.  In no particular order, thanks go to
