The previous change implemented the ahead_behind() method, including an
algorithm to compute the ahead/behind values for a number of commit tips
relative to a number of commit bases. Now, integrate that algorithm as
part of 'git for-each-ref' hidden behind a new format atom,
ahead-behind. This naturally extends to 'git branch' and 'git tag'
builtins, as well.
This format allows specifying multiple bases, if so desired, and all
matching references are compared against all of those bases. For this
reason, failing to read a reference provided from these atoms results in
an error.
In order to translate the ahead_behind() method information to the
format output code in ref-filter.c, we must populate arrays of
ahead_behind_count structs. In struct ref_array, we store the full array
that will be passed to ahead_behind(). In struct ref_array_item, we
store an array of pointers that point to the relvant items within the
full array. In this way, we can pull all relevant ahead/behind values
directly when formatting output for a specific item. It also ensures the
lifetime of the ahead_behind_count structs matches the time that the
array is being used.
Add specific tests of the ahead/behind counts in t6600-test-reach.sh, as
it has an interesting repository shape. In particular, its merging
strategy and its use of different commit-graphs would demonstrate over-
counting if the ahead_behind() method did not already account for that
possibility.
Also add tests for the specific for-each-ref, branch, and tag builtins.
In the case of 'git tag', there are intersting cases that happen when
some of the selected tips are not commits. This requires careful logic
around commits_nr in the second loop of filter_ahead_behind(). Also, the
test in t7004 is carefully located to avoid being dependent on the GPG
prereq. It also avoids using the test_commit helper, as that will add
ticks to the time and disrupt the expected timestamps in later tag
tests.
Also add performance tests in a new p1300-graph-walks.sh script. This
will be useful for more uses in the future, but for now compare the
ahead-behind counting algorithm in 'git for-each-ref' to the naive
implementation by running 'git rev-list --count' processes for each
input.
For the Git source code repository, the improvement is already obvious:

Fully implement the commit-counting logic required to determine
ahead/behind counts for a batch of commit pairs. This is a new library
method within commit-reach.h. This method will be linked to the
for-each-ref builtin in the next change.
The interface for ahead_behind() uses two arrays. The first array of
commits contains the list of all starting points for the walk. This
includes all tip commits _and_ base commits. The second array specifies
base/tip pairs by pointing to commits within the first array, by index.
The second array also stores the resulting ahead/behind counts for each
of these pairs.
This implementation of ahead_behind() allows multiple bases, if desired.
Even with multiple bases, there is only one commit walk used for
counting the ahead/behind values, saving time when the base/tip ranges
overlap significantly.
This interface for ahead_behind() also makes it very easy to call
ensure_generations_valid() on the entire array of bases and tips. This
call is necessary because it is critical that the walk that counts
ahead/behind values never walks a commit more than once. Without
generation numbers on every commit, there is a possibility that a
commit date skew could cause the walk to revisit a commit and then
double-count it. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that 'git
ahead-behind' is only run in a repository with a commit-graph file that
covers most of the reachable commits, storing precomputed generation
numbers. If no commit-graph exists, this walk will be much slower as it
must walk all reachable commits in ensure_generations_valid() before
performing the counting logic.
It is possible to detect if generation numbers are available at run time
and redirect the implementation to another algorithm that does not
require this property. However, that implementation requires a commit
walk per base/tip pair _and_ can be slower due to the commit date
heuristics required. Such an implementation could be considered in the
future if there is a reason to include it, but most Git hosts should
already be generating a commit-graph file as part of repository
maintenance. Most Git clients should also be generating commit-graph
files as part of background maintenance or automatic GCs.
Now, let's discuss the ahead/behind counting algorithm.
The first array of commits are considered the starting commits. The
index within that array will play a critical role.
We create a new commit slab that maps commits to a bitmap. For a given
commit (anywhere in the history), its bitmap stores information relative
to which of the input commits can reach that commit. The ith bit will be
on if the ith commit from the starting list can reach that commit. It is
important to notice that these bitmaps are not the typical "reachability
bitmaps" that are stored in .bitmap files. Instead of signalling which
objects are reachable from the current commit, they instead signal
"which starting commits can reach me?" It is also important to know that
the bitmap is not necessarily "complete" until we walk that commit. We
will perform a commit walk by generation number in such a way that we
can guarantee the bitmap is correct when we visit that commit.
At the beginning of the ahead_behind() method, we initialize the bitmaps
for each of the starting commits. By enabling the ith bit for the ith
starting commit, we signal "the ith commit can reach itself."
We walk commits by popping the commit with maximum generation number out
of the queue, guaranteeing that we will never walk a child of that
commit in any future steps.
As we walk, we load the bitmap for the current commit and perform two
main steps. The _second_ step examines each parent of the current commit
and adds the current commit's bitmap bits to each parent's bitmap. (We
create a new bitmap for the parent if this is our first time seeing that
parent.) After adding the bits to the parent's bitmap, the parent is
added to the walk queue. Due to this passing of bits to parents, the
current commit has a guarantee that the ith bit is enabled on its bitmap
if and only if the ith commit can reach the current commit.
The first step of the walk is to examine the bitmask on the current
commit and decide which ranges the commit is in or not. Due to the "bit
pushing" in the second step, we have a guarantee that the ith bit of the
current commit's bitmap is on if and only if the ith starting commit can
reach it. For each ahead_behind_count struct, check the base_index and
tip_index to see if those bits are enabled on the current bitmap. If
exactly one bit is enabled, then increment the corresponding 'ahead' or
'behind' count. This increment is the reason we _absolutely need_ to
walk commits at most once.
The only subtle thing to do with this walk is to check to see if a
parent has all bits on in its bitmap, in which case it becomes "stale"
and is marked with the STALE bit. This allows queue_has_nonstale() to be
the terminating condition of the walk, which greatly reduces the number
of commits walked if all of the commits are nearby in history. It avoids
walking a large number of common commits when there is a deep history.
We also use the helper method insert_no_dup() to add commits to the
priority queue without adding them multiple times. This uses the PARENT2
flag. Thus, we must clear both the STALE and PARENT2 bits of all
commits, in case ahead_behind() is called multiple times in the same
process.

Use the just-introduced compute_reachable_generation_numbers_1() to
implement a function which dynamically computes topological levels (or
corrected commit dates) for out-of-graph commits.
This will be useful for the ahead-behind algorithm we are about to
introduce, which needs accurate topological levels on _all_ commits
reachable from the tips in order to avoid over-counting.

The commit_graph_generation() method used to report a value of
GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY if the commit_graph_data_slab had an instance
for the given commit but the graph_pos indicated the commit was not in
the commit-graph file.
However, an upcoming change will introduce the ability to set generation
values in-memory without writing the commit-graph file. Thus, we can no
longer trust 'graph_pos' to indicate whether or not the generation
member can be trusted.
Instead, trust the 'generation' member if the commit has a value in the
slab _and_ the 'generation' member is non-zero. Otherwise, treat it as
GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY.
This only makes a difference for a very old case for the commit-graph:
the very first Git release to write commit-graph files wrote zeroes in
the topological level positions. If we are parsing a commit-graph with
all zeroes, those commits will now appear to have
GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY (as if they were not parsed from the
commit-graph).
I attempted several variations to work around the need for providing an
uninitialized 'generation' member, but this was the best one I found. It
does require a change to a verification test in t5318 because it reports
a different error than the one about non-zero generation numbers.

The main difference here is that we use generation version 2, which is
used in to toggle the logic in compute_generation_from_max() for
computing the corrected commit date based on the corrected commit dates
of the parent commits (and the commit date of the current commit). It
also uses different methods for (get|set)_generation in the vtable in
order to store and access the value in the correct places.

This patch extracts the common code used to compute topological levels
and corrected committer dates into a common routine,
compute_reachable_generation_numbers(). For ease of reading, it only
modifies compute_topological_levels() to use this new routine, leaving
compute_generation_numbers() to be modified in the next change.
This new routine dispatches to call the necessary functions to get and
set the generation number for a given commit through a vtable (the
compute_generation_info struct).
Computing the generation number itself is done in
compute_generation_from_max(), which dispatches its implementation based
on the generation version requested, or issuing a BUG() for unrecognized
generation versions. This does not use a vtable because the logic
depends only on the generation number version, not where the data is
being loaded from or being stored to. This is a subtle point that will
make more sense in a future change that modifies the in-memory
generation values instead of just preparing values for writing to a
commit-graph file.
This change looks like it adds a lot of new code. However, two upcoming
changes will be quite small due to the work being done in this change.

When a user wishes to input a large list of patterns to 'git

Add a new --stdin option to instead read the patterns from standard
input. Add tests that check that any unrecognized arguments are
considered an error when --stdin is provided. Also, an empty pattern
list is interpreted as the complete ref set.
When reading from stdin, we populate the filter.name_patterns array
dynamically as opposed to pointing to the 'argv' array directly. This is
simple when using a strvec, as it is NULL-terminated in the same way. We
then free the memory directly from the strvec.

Move displaying the reference updates into `format_display()` and rename
it to `display_ref_update()` to better match its new purpose, which

When fetching from a remote, we not only print the actual references
that have changed, but will also print the URL from which we have
fetched them to standard output. The logic to handle this is duplicated
across two different callsites with some non-trivial logic to compute
the anonymized URL. Furthermore, we're using global state to track
whether we have already shown the URL to the user or not.
Refactor the code by moving it into `format_display()`. Like this, we
can convert the global variable into a member of `display_state`. And
second, we can deduplicate the logic to compute the anonymized URL.
This also works as expected when fetching from multiple remotes, for

The function `format_display()` is used to print a single reference
update to a buffer which will then ultimately be printed by the caller.
This architecture causes us to duplicate some logic across the different
callsites of this function. This makes it hard to follow the code as
some parts of the logic are located in one place, while other parts of
the logic are located in a different place. Furthermore, by having the
logic scattered around it becomes quite hard to implement a new output
format for the reference updates.
We can make the logic a whole lot easier to understand by making the
`format_display()` function self-contained so that it handles formatting
and printing of the references. This will eventually allow us to easily
implement a completely different output format, but also opens the door
to conditionally print to either stdout or stderr depending on the
output format.
As a first step towards that goal we move the formatting directive used
by both callers to print a single reference update into this function.

Before printing the name of the local references that would be updated
by a fetch we first prettify the reference name. This is done at the
calling side so that `format_display()` never sees the full name of the
local reference. This restricts our ability to introduce new output
formats that might want to print the full reference name.
Right now, all callsites except one are prettifying the reference name
anyway. And the only callsite that doesn't passes `FETCH_HEAD` as the
hardcoded reference name to `format_display()`, which would never be
changed by a call to `prettify_refname()` anyway. So let's refactor the

When dowild() cannot match a '*' or '/**/' wildcard then it must return

this results in unnecessary backtracking and the time taken for a failed
match increases exponentially with the number of wildcards in the

for a failed match resulting in long match times for patterns containing
multiple wildcards as can be seen in the following benchmark.
(Note that the timings in the Benchmark 1 are really measuring the time
to execute test-tool rather than the time to match the pattern)

The security implications are limited as it only affects operations that
are potentially DoS vectors. For example by creating a blob containing
such a pattern a malicious user can exploit this behavior to use large
amounts of CPU time on a remote server by pushing the blob and then
creating a new clone with --filter=sparse:oid. However this filter type
is usually disabled as it is known to consume large amounts of CPU time
even without this bug.
The WM_MATCH changed in the first hunk of this patch comes from the
original implementation imported from rsync in 5230f605e1 (Import
wildmatch from rsync, 2012-10-15). Compared to the others converted here
it is fairly harmless as it only triggers at the end of the pattern and
so will only cause a single unnecessary backtrack. The others introduced
by 6f1a31f0aa (wildmatch: advance faster in <asterisk> + <literal>
patterns, 2013-01-01) and 46983441ae (wildmatch: make a special case for
"*/" with FNM_PATHNAME, 2013-01-01) are more pernicious and will cause
exponential behavior.
A new test is added to protect against future regressions.

be silent in such cases, so we shouldn't enforce it. The user shouldn't
use the output of a failing command anyway.

There's code in git_connect() that checks whether we are doing a push
with protocol_v2, and if so, drops us to protocol_v0 (since we know
how to do v2 only for fetches). But it misses some corner cases:
1. it checks the "prog" variable, which is actually the path to
receive-pack on the remote side. By default this is just
"git-receive-pack", but it could be an arbitrary string (like
"/path/to/git receive-pack", etc). We'd accidentally stay in v2
mode in this case.
2. besides "receive-pack" and "upload-pack", there's one other value
we'd expect: "upload-archive" for handling "git archive --remote".
Like receive-pack, this doesn't understand v2, and should use the
v0 protocol.
In practice, neither of these causes bugs in the real world so far. We
do send a "we understand v2" probe to the server, but since no server
implements v2 for anything but upload-pack, it's simply ignored. But
this would eventually become a problem if we do implement v2 for those
endpoints, as older clients would falsely claim to understand it,
leading to a server response they can't parse.
We can fix (1) by passing in both the program path and the "name" of the
operation. I treat the name as a string here, because that's the pattern
set in transport_connect(), which is one of our callers (we were simply
throwing away the "name" value there before).
We can fix (2) by allowing only known-v2 protocols ("upload-pack"),
rather than blocking unknown ones ("receive-pack" and "upload-archive").
That will mean whoever eventually implements v2 push will have to adjust
this list, but that's reasonable. We'll do the safe, conservative thing
(sticking to v0) by default, and anybody working on v2 will quickly
realize this spot needs to be updated.
The new tests cover the receive-pack and upload-archive cases above, and
re-confirm that we allow v2 with an arbitrary "--upload-pack" path (that
already worked before this patch, of course, but it would be an easy
thing to break if we flipped the allow/block logic without also handling
"name" separately).
Here are a few miscellaneous implementation notes, since I had to do a
little head-scratching to understand who calls what:
- transport_connect() is called only for git-upload-archive. For
non-http git remotes, that resolves to the virtual connect_git()
function (which then calls git_connect(); confused yet?). So
plumbing through "name" in connect_git() covers that.
- for regular fetches and pushes, callers use higher-level functions
like transport_fetch_refs(). For non-http git remotes, that means
calling git_connect() under the hood via connect_setup(). And that
uses the "for_push" flag to decide which name to use.
- likewise, plumbing like fetch-pack and send-pack may call
git_connect() directly; they each know which name to use.
- for remote helpers (including http), we already have separate
parameters for "name" and "exec" (another name for "prog"). In
process_connect_service(), we feed the "name" to the helper via
"connect" or "stateless-connect" directives.
There's also a "servpath" option, which can be used to tell the
helper about the "exec" path. But no helpers we implement support
it! For http it would be useless anyway (no reasonable server
implementation will allow you to send a shell command to run the
server). In theory it would be useful for more obscure helpers like
remote-ext, but even there it is not implemented.
It's tempting to get rid of it simply to reduce confusion, but we
have publicly documented it since it was added in fa8c097cc9
(Support remote helpers implementing smart transports, 2009-12-09),
so it's possible some helper in the wild is using it.
- So for v2, helpers (again, including http) are mainly used via
stateless-connect, driven by the main program. But they do still
need to decide whether to do a v2 probe. And so there's similar
logic in remote-curl.c's discover_refs() that looks for
"git-receive-pack". But it's not buggy in the same way. Since it
doesn't support servpath, it is always dealing with a "service"
string like "git-receive-pack". And since it doesn't support
straight "connect", it can't be used for "upload-archive".
So we could leave that spot alone. But I've updated it here to match
the logic we're changing in connect_git(). That seems like the least
confusing thing for somebody who has to touch both of these spots
later (say, to add v2 push support). I didn't add a new test to make
sure this doesn't break anything; we already have several tests (in
t5551 and elsewhere) that make sure we are using v2 over http.

We don't look at the "to_fetch" or "nr_heads" parameters at all. At
first glance this seems like a bug (or at least pessimisation), because
it means we fetch more objects from the bundle than we actually need.
But the bundle does not have any way of computing the set of reachable
objects itself (we'd have to pull all of the objects out to walk them).
And anyway, we've probably already paid most of the cost of grabbing the
objects, since we must copy the bundle locally before accessing it.
So it's perfectly reasonable for the bundle code to just pull everything
into the local object store. Unneeded objects can be dropped later via
gc, etc.
But we should mark these unused parameters as such to avoid the wrath of
-Wunused-parameter.

We have a generic "fill" function that is used by both the dumb http
push and fetch code paths. It takes a void parameter in case the caller
wants to pass along extra data, but (since the previous commit) neither
does so.
So we could simply drop the extra parameter. But since it's good
practice to provide a void pointer for in callback functions, we'll
leave it here for the future, and just annotate it as unused (to appease
-Wunused-parameter).
While we're marking it, let's also fix the type in http-walker's
function to have the correct "void" type. The original had to cast the
function pointer and was technically undefined behavior (though
generally OK in practice).

We take a "walker" parameter for the request, but don't actually look at
it. This is due to 5424bc557f (http*: add helper methods for fetching
objects (loose), 2009-06-06). Before then, we consulted the "walker"
struct to tell us if we should be verbose, but now those messages are
printed elsewhere.
Let's drop the unused parameter to make -Wunused-parameter happy.

There's some debugging code in mailmap.c which is only compiled if you
manually tweak the source to set DEBUG_MAILMAP. When it's not set, the
fallback noop uses static inline functions; we couldn't use macros here
because one of the functions is variadic (and variadic macros were
forbidden back then, but aren't now). As a result, this triggers
a -Wunused-parameter warning.
We have a few options here:
1. Leave it be. Just mark it as UNUSED, or switch to a variadic macro.
2. Assume the debugging code is useful, compile it always, and trigger
it with a run-time flag (e.g., with a trace key). This is pretty
easy to do, and carries a pretty small runtime cost.
3. Assume the debugging is not very useful, and just rip it out. This
matches what we did with a similar case in 69c5f17f11 (attr: drop
DEBUG_ATTR code, 2022-10-06).
The debugging flag has been mentioned only three times on the list.
Once, when it was added in 2009:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover.1234102794.git.marius@trolltech.com/
In 2013, when somebody fixed some compilation errors in the conditional
code (presumably because they used it while making other changes):
https://lore.kernel.org/git/1373871253-96480-1-git-send-email-sunshine@sunshineco.com/
And finally it seemed to have been useful to somebody in 2020:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/87eejswql6.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/
So it's not totally without value. On the other hand, it's not likely to
be useful to non-developers (and certainly isn't if you have to
recompile). And using a debugger or adding your own inspection code is
likely to be as useful. So I've just dropped the code entirely here.
Note that we do still have to mark a few parameters unused in callback
functions which are passed to string_list_clear_func(). Those get an
extra pointer with the string being cleared, which we previously fed to
the debugging code.
