The for_each_loose_object() and for_each_packed_object()
functions are meant to be part of a unified interface: they
use the same set of for_each_object_flags, and it's not
inconceivable that we might one day add a single
for_each_object() wrapper around them.
Let's put them together in a single file, so we can avoid
awkwardness like saying "the flags for this function are
over in cache.h". Moving the loose functions to packfile.h
is silly. Moving the packed functions to cache.h works, but
makes the "cache.h is a kitchen sink" problem worse. The
best place is the recently-created object-store.h, since
these are quite obviously related to object storage.
The for_each_*_in_objdir() functions do not use the same
flags, but they are logically part of the same interface as
for_each_loose_object(), and share callback signatures. So
we'll move those, as well, as they also make sense in
object-store.h.

When we're in batch mode, we end up in batch_object_write()
for each object, which allocates its own strbuf for each
call. Instead, we can provide a single "scratch" buffer that
gets reused for each output. When running:
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname)'
on git.git, my best-of-five time drops from:
real 0m0.171s
user 0m0.159s
sys 0m0.012s
to:
real 0m0.133s
user 0m0.121s
sys 0m0.012s
Note that we could do this just by putting the "scratch"
pointer into "struct expand_data", but I chose instead to
add an extra parameter to the callstack. That's more
verbose, but it makes it a bit more obvious what is going
on, which in turn makes it easy to see where we need to be
releasing the string in the caller (right after the loop
which uses it in each case).

Since attr checking API now take the index, there's no need to set an
index in advance with this call. Most call sites are straightforward
because they either pass the_index or NULL (which defaults back to
the_index previously). There's only one suspicious call site in
unpack-trees.c where it sets a different index.
This code in unpack-trees is about to check out entries from the
new/temporary index after merging is done in it. The attributes will
be used by entry.c code to do crlf conversion if needed. entry.c now
respects struct checkout's istate field, and this field is correctly

Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in
attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch
simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive
further updates to use the right index instead of the_index.
There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some
more explanation.
Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip
diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT
read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by
falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now
propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault
somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index.
The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and
only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that:
while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be
assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is
used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we
delete use_index. So this has to be done later.

uses get_index_file() underneath to get the path $GIT_DIR/index. This
effectively pulls the_repository in and may become the only reason to
pull a 'struct repository *' in diff.c. Let's keep the dependencies as

If you're going to access the contents of every object in a
packfile, it's generally much more efficient to do so in
pack order, rather than in hash order. That increases the
locality of access within the packfile, which in turn is
friendlier to the delta base cache, since the packfile puts
related deltas next to each other. By contrast, hash order
is effectively random, since the sha1 has no discernible
relationship to the content.
This patch introduces an "--unordered" option to cat-file
which iterates over packs in pack-order under the hood. You
can see the results when dumping all of the file content:
$ time ./git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c
6883195596
real 0m44.491s
user 0m42.902s
sys 0m5.230s
$ time ./git cat-file --unordered \
--batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c
6883195596
real 0m6.075s
user 0m4.774s
sys 0m3.548s
Same output, different order, way faster. The same speed-up
applies even if you end up accessing the object content in a
different process, like:
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check |
grep blob |
git cat-file --batch='%(objectname) %(rest)' |
wc -c
Adding "--unordered" to the first command drops the runtime
in git.git from 24s to 3.5s.
Side note: there are actually further speedups available
for doing it all in-process now. Since we are outputting
the object content during the actual pack iteration, we
know where to find the object and could skip the extra
lookup done by oid_object_info(). This patch stops short
of that optimization since the underlying API isn't ready
for us to make those sorts of direct requests.
So if --unordered is so much better, why not make it the
default? Two reasons:
1. We've promised in the documentation that --batch-all-objects
outputs in hash order. Since cat-file is plumbing,
people may be relying on that default, and we can't
change it.
2. It's actually _slower_ for some cases. We have to
compute the pack revindex to walk in pack order. And
our de-duplication step uses an oidset, rather than a
sort-and-dedup, which can end up being more expensive.
If we're just accessing the type and size of each
object, for example, like:
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check
my best-of-five warm cache timings go from 900ms to
1100ms using --unordered. Though it's possible in a
cold-cache or under memory pressure that we could do
better, since we'd have better locality within the
packfile.
And one final question: why is it "--unordered" and not
"--pack-order"? The answer is again two-fold:
1. "pack order" isn't a well-defined thing across the
whole set of objects. We're hitting loose objects, as
well as objects in multiple packs, and the only
ordering we're promising is _within_ a single pack. The
rest is apparently random.
2. The point here is optimization. So we don't want to
promise any particular ordering, but only to say that
we will choose an ordering which is likely to be
efficient for accessing the object content. That leaves
the door open for further changes in the future without
having to add another compatibility option.

Just like tbdiff, we now show the diff between matching patches. This is
a "diff of two diffs", so it can be a bit daunting to read for the
beginner.
An alternative would be to display an interdiff, i.e. the hypothetical
diff which is the result of first reverting the old diff and then
applying the new diff.
Especially when rebasing frequently, an interdiff is often not feasible,
though: if the old diff cannot be applied in reverse (due to a moving
upstream), an interdiff can simply not be inferred.
This commit brings `range-diff` closer to feature parity with regard
to tbdiff.
To make `git range-diff` respect e.g. color.diff.* settings, we have
to adjust git_branch_config() accordingly.
Note: while we now parse diff options such as --color, the effect is not
yet the same as in tbdiff, where also the commit pairs would be colored.
This is left for a later commit.
Note also: while tbdiff accepts the `--no-patches` option to suppress
these diffs between patches, we prefer the `-s` (or `--no-patch`) option
that is automatically supported via our use of diff_opt_parse().
And finally note: to support diff options, we have to call
`parse_options()` such that it keeps unknown options, and then loop over
those and let `diff_opt_parse()` handle them. After that loop, we have
to call `parse_options()` again, to make sure that no unknown options
are left.

At this stage, `git range-diff` can determine corresponding commits
of two related commit ranges. This makes use of the recently introduced
implementation of the linear assignment algorithm.
The core of this patch is a straight port of the ideas of tbdiff, the
apparently dormant project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff.
The output does not at all match `tbdiff`'s output yet, as this patch
really concentrates on getting the patch matching part right.
Note: due to differences in the diff algorithm (`tbdiff` uses the Python
module `difflib`, Git uses its xdiff fork), the cost matrix calculated
by `range-diff` is different (but very similar) to the one calculated
by `tbdiff`. Therefore, it is possible that they find different matching
commits in corner cases (e.g. when a patch was split into two patches of
roughly equal length).

This command does not do a whole lot so far, apart from showing a usage
that is oddly similar to that of `git tbdiff`. And for a good reason:

Parseopt wraps argument help strings in a pair of angular brackets by

The option help text for the force-with-lease option to "git push"
reads like this:
$ git push -h 2>&1 | grep -e force-with-lease
--force-with-lease[=<refname>:<expect>]
which comes from having N_("refname>:<expect") as the argument help
text in the source code, with an aparent lack of "<" and ">" at both
ends.
It turns out that parse-options machinery takes the whole string and
encloses it inside a pair of "<>", to make it easier for majority
cases that uses a single token placeholder.
The help string was written in a funnily unbalanced way knowing that
the end result would balance out, by somebody who forgot the
presence of PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP, which is the escape hatch
mechanism designed to help such a case. We just should use the
official escape hatch instead.
Because ":<expect>" part can be omitted to ask Git to guess, it may
be more correct to spell it as "<refname>[:<expect>]", but that is
not the focus of this topic.
