The 'read_generation_data' member of 'struct commit_graph' was
introduced by 1fdc383c5 (commit-graph: use generation v2 only if entire
chain does, 2021-01-16). The intention was to avoid using corrected
commit dates if not all layers of a commit-graph had that data stored.
The logic in validate_mixed_generation_chain() at that point incorrectly
initialized read_generation_data to 1 if and only if the tip
commit-graph contained the Corrected Commit Date chunk.
This was "fixed" in 448a39e65 (commit-graph: validate layers for
generation data, 2021-02-02) to validate that read_generation_data was
either non-zero for all layers, or it would set read_generation_data to
zero for all layers.
The problem here is that read_generation_data is not initialized to be
non-zero anywhere!
This change initializes read_generation_data immediately after the chunk
is parsed, so each layer will have its value present as soon as
possible.
The read_generation_data member is used in fill_commit_graph_info() to
determine if we should use the corrected commit date or the topological
levels stored in the Commit Data chunk. Due to this bug, all previous
versions of Git were defaulting to topological levels in all cases!
This can be measured with some performance tests. Using the Linux kernel
as a testbed, I generated a complete commit-graph containing corrected
commit dates and tested the 'new' version against the previous, 'old'
version.
First, rev-list with --topo-order demonstrates a 26% improvement using
corrected commit dates:
hyperfine \
-n "old" "$OLD_GIT rev-list --topo-order -1000 v3.6" \
-n "new" "$NEW_GIT rev-list --topo-order -1000 v3.6" \
--warmup=10
Benchmark 1: old
Time (mean ± σ): 57.1 ms ± 3.1 ms
Range (min … max): 52.9 ms … 62.0 ms 55 runs
Benchmark 2: new
Time (mean ± σ): 45.5 ms ± 3.3 ms
Range (min … max): 39.9 ms … 51.7 ms 59 runs
Summary
'new' ran
1.26 ± 0.11 times faster than 'old'
These performance improvements are due to the algorithmic improvements
given by walking fewer commits due to the higher cutoffs from corrected
commit dates.
However, this comes at a cost. The additional I/O cost of parsing the
corrected commit dates is visible in case of merge-base commands that do
not reduce the overall number of walked commits.
hyperfine \
-n "old" "$OLD_GIT merge-base v4.8 v4.9" \
-n "new" "$NEW_GIT merge-base v4.8 v4.9" \
--warmup=10
Benchmark 1: old
Time (mean ± σ): 110.4 ms ± 6.4 ms
Range (min … max): 96.0 ms … 118.3 ms 25 runs
Benchmark 2: new
Time (mean ± σ): 150.7 ms ± 1.1 ms
Range (min … max): 149.3 ms … 153.4 ms 19 runs
Summary
'old' ran
1.36 ± 0.08 times faster than 'new'
Performance issues like this are what motivated 702110aac (commit-graph:
use config to specify generation type, 2021-02-25).
In the future, we could fix this performance problem by inserting the
corrected commit date offsets into the Commit Date chunk instead of
having that data in an extra chunk.

We have two established generation number versions:
1: topological levels
2: corrected commit dates
The corrected commit dates are enabled by default, but they also write
extra data in the GDAT and GDOV chunks. Services that host Git data
might want to have more control over when this feature rolls out than
just updating the Git binaries.
Add a new "commitGraph.generationVersion" config option that specifies
the intended generation number version. If this value is less than 2,
then the GDAT chunk is never written _or read_ from an existing file.
This can replace our use of the GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT

Since there are released versions of Git that understand generation
numbers in the commit-graph's CDAT chunk but do not understand the GDAT
chunk, the following scenario is possible:
1. "New" Git writes a commit-graph with the GDAT chunk.
2. "Old" Git writes a split commit-graph on top without a GDAT chunk.
If each layer of split commit-graph is treated independently, as it was
the case before this commit, with Git inspecting only the current layer
for chunk_generation_data pointer, commits in the lower layer (one with
GDAT) whould have corrected commit date as their generation number,
while commits in the upper layer would have topological levels as their
generation. Corrected commit dates usually have much larger values than
topological levels. This means that if we take two commits, one from the
upper layer, and one reachable from it in the lower layer, then the
expectation that the generation of a parent is smaller than the
generation of a child would be violated.
It is difficult to expose this issue in a test. Since we _start_ with
artificially low generation numbers, any commit walk that prioritizes
generation numbers will walk all of the commits with high generation
number before walking the commits with low generation number. In all the
cases I tried, the commit-graph layers themselves "protect" any
incorrect behavior since none of the commits in the lower layer can
reach the commits in the upper layer.
This issue would manifest itself as a performance problem in this case,
especially with something like "git log --graph" since the low
generation numbers would cause the in-degree queue to walk all of the
commits in the lower layer before allowing the topo-order queue to write
anything to output (depending on the size of the upper layer).
Therefore, When writing the new layer in split commit-graph, we write a
GDAT chunk only if the topmost layer has a GDAT chunk. This guarantees
that if a layer has GDAT chunk, all lower layers must have a GDAT chunk
as well.
Rewriting layers follows similar approach: if the topmost layer below
the set of layers being rewritten (in the split commit-graph chain)
exists, and it does not contain GDAT chunk, then the result of rewrite
does not have GDAT chunks either.

As discovered by Ævar, we cannot increment graph version to
distinguish between generation numbers v1 and v2 [1]. Thus, one of
pre-requistes before implementing generation number v2 was to
distinguish between graph versions in a backwards compatible manner.
We are going to introduce a new chunk called Generation DATa chunk (or
GDAT). GDAT will store corrected committer date offsets whereas CDAT
will still store topological level.
Old Git does not understand GDAT chunk and would ignore it, reading
topological levels from CDAT. New Git can parse GDAT and take advantage
of newer generation numbers, falling back to topological levels when
GDAT chunk is missing (as it would happen with a commit-graph written
by old Git).
We introduce a test environment variable 'GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT'
which forces commit-graph file to be written without generation data
chunk to emulate a commit-graph file written by old Git.
To minimize the space required to store corrrected commit date, Git
stores corrected commit date offsets into the commit-graph file, instea
of corrected commit dates. This saves us 4 bytes per commit, decreasing
the GDAT chunk size by half, but it's possible for the offset to
overflow the 4-bytes allocated for storage. As such overflows are and
should be exceedingly rare, we use the following overflow management
scheme:
We introduce a new commit-graph chunk, Generation Data OVerflow ('GDOV')
to store corrected commit dates for commits with offsets greater than
GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX.
If the offset is greater than GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX, we set
the MSB of the offset and the other bits store the position of corrected
commit date in GDOV chunk, similar to how Extra Edge List is maintained.
We test the overflow-related code with the following repo history:
F - N - U
/ \
U - N - U N
\ /
N - F - N
Where the commits denoted by U have committer date of zero seconds
since Unix epoch, the commits denoted by N have committer date of
1112354055 (default committer date for the test suite) seconds since
Unix epoch and the commits denoted by F have committer date of
(2 ^ 31 - 2) seconds since Unix epoch.
The largest offset observed is 2 ^ 31, just large enough to overflow.

When "git commit-graph" detects the same commit recorded more than
once while it is merging the layers, it used to die. The code now
ignores all but one of them and continues.
* ds/commit-graph-merging-fix:
commit-graph: don't write commit-graph when disabled
commit-graph: ignore duplicates when merging layers
The core.commitGraph config setting can be set to 'false' to prevent
parsing commits from the commit-graph file(s). This causes an issue when
trying to write with "--split" which needs to distinguish between
commits that are in the existing commit-graph layers and commits that
are not. The existing mechanism uses parse_commit() and follows by
checking if there is a 'graph_pos' that shows the commit was parsed from
the commit-graph file.
When core.commitGraph=false, we do not parse the commits from the
commit-graph and 'graph_pos' indicates that no commits are in the
existing file. The --split logic moves forward creating a new layer on
top that holds all reachable commits, then possibly merges down into
those layers, resulting in duplicate commits. The previous change makes
that merging process more robust to such a situation in case it happens
in the written commit-graph data.
The easy answer here is to avoid writing a commit-graph if reading the
commit-graph is disabled. Since the resulting commit-graph will would not
be read by subsequent Git processes. This is more natural than forcing
core.commitGraph to be true for the 'write' process.

Thomas reported [1] that a "git fetch" command was failing with an error
saying "unexpected duplicate commit id". The root cause is that they had
fetch.writeCommitGraph enabled which generates commit-graph chains, and
this instance was merging two layers that both contained the same commit
ID.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/55f8f00c-a61c-67d4-889e-a9501c596c39@virtuell-zuhause.de/
The initial assumption is that Git would not write a commit ID into a
commit-graph layer if it already exists in a lower commit-graph layer.
Somehow, this specific case did get into that situation, leading to this
error.
While unexpected, this isn't actually invalid (as long as the two layers
agree on the metadata for the commit). When we parse a commit that does
not have a graph_pos in the commit_graph_data_slab, we use binary search
in the commit-graph layers to find the commit and set graph_pos. That
position is never used again in this case. However, when we parse a
commit from the commit-graph file, we load its parents from the
commit-graph and assign graph_pos at that point. If those parents were
already parsed from the commit-graph, then nothing needs to be done.
Otherwise, this graph_pos is a valid position in the commit-graph so we
can parse the parents, when necessary.
Thus, this die() is too aggressive. The easiest thing to do would be to
ignore the duplicates.
If we only ignore the duplicates, then we will produce a commit-graph
that has identical commit IDs listed in adjacent positions. This excess
data will never be removed from the commit-graph, which could cascade
into significantly bloated file sizes.
Thankfully, we can collapse the list to erase the duplicate commit
pointers. This allows us to get the end result we want without extra
memory costs and minimal CPU time.
The root cause is due to disabling core.commitGraph, which prevents
parsing commits from the lower layers during a 'git commit-graph write
--split' command. Since we use the 'graph_pos' value to determine
whether a commit is in a lower layer, we never discover that those
commits are already in the commit-graph chain and add them to the top
layer. This layer is then merged down, creating duplicates.
The test added in t5324-split-commit-graph.sh fails without this change.
However, we still have not completely removed the need for this
duplicate check. That will come in a follow-up change.

commit-graph: pass a 'struct repository *' in more places
t4216: use an '&&'-chain
commit-graph: introduce 'get_bloom_filter_settings()'
Many places in the code often need a pointer to the commit-graph's
'struct bloom_filter_settings', in which case they often take the value
from the top-most commit-graph.
In the non-split case, this works as expected. In the split case,
however, things get a little tricky. Not all layers in a chain of
incremental commit-graphs are required to themselves have Bloom data,
and so whether or not some part of the code uses Bloom filters depends
entirely on whether or not the top-most level of the commit-graph chain
has Bloom filters.
This has been the behavior since Bloom filters were introduced, and has
been codified into the tests since a759bfa9ee (t4216: add end to end
tests for git log with Bloom filters, 2020-04-06). In fact, t4216.130
requires that Bloom filters are not used in exactly the case described
earlier.
There is no reason that this needs to be the case, since it is perfectly
valid for commits in an earlier layer to have Bloom filters when commits
in a newer layer do not.
Since Bloom settings are guaranteed in practice to be the same for any
layer in a chain that has Bloom data, it is sufficient to traverse the
'->base_graph' pointer until either (1) a non-null 'struct
bloom_filter_settings *' is found, or (2) until we are at the root of
the commit-graph chain.
Introduce a 'get_bloom_filter_settings()' function that does just this,
and use it instead of purely dereferencing the top-most graph's
'->bloom_filter_settings' pointer.
While we're at it, add an additional test in t5324 to guard against code
in the commit-graph writing machinery that doesn't correctly handle a
NULL 'struct bloom_filter *'.

The commit-graph format reserved a byte among the header of the file to
store a "hash version". During the SHA-256 work, this was not modified
because file formats are not necessarily intended to work across hash
versions. If a repository has SHA-256 as its hash algorithm, it
automatically up-shifts the lengths of object names in all necessary
formats.
However, since we have this byte available for adjusting the version, we
can make the file formats more obviously incompatible instead of relying
on other context from the repository.
Update the oid_version() method in commit-graph.c to add a new value, 2,
for sha-256. This automatically writes the new value in a SHA-256
repository _and_ verifies the value is correct. This is a breaking
change relative to the current 'master' branch since 092b677 (Merge
branch 'bc/sha-256-cvs-svn-updates', 2020-08-13) but it is not breaking
relative to any released version of Git.
The test impact is relatively minor: the output of 'test-tool
read-graph' lists the header information, so those instances of '1' need
to be replaced with a variable determined by GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH. A
more careful test is added that specifically creates a repository of
each type then swaps the commit-graph files. The important value here is
that the "git log" command succeeds while writing a message to stderr.

* ds/commit-graph-expiry-fix:
commit-graph: fix buggy --expire-time option
When writing a layered commit-graph, the commit-graph machinery uses
'commit_graph_filenames_after' and 'commit_graph_hash_after' to keep
track of the layers in the chain that we are in the process of writing.
When the number of commit-graph layers shrinks, we initialize all
entries in the aforementioned arrays, because we know the structure of
the new commit-graph chain immediately (since there are no new layers,
there are no unknown hash values).
But when the number of commit-graph layers grows (i.e., that
'num_commit_graphs_after > num_commit_graphs_before'), then we leave
some entries in the filenames and hashes arrays as uninitialized,
because we will fill them in later as those values become available.
For instance, we rely on 'write_commit_graph_file's to store the
filename and hash of the last layer in the new chain, which is the one
that it is responsible for writing. But, it's possible that
'write_commit_graph_file' may fail, e.g., from file descriptor
exhaustion. In this case it is possible that 'git_mkstemp_mode' will
fail, and that function will return early *before* setting the values
for the last commit-graph layer's filename and hash.
This causes a number of upleasant side-effects. For instance, trying to
'free()' each entry in 'ctx->commit_graph_filenames_after' (and
similarly for the hashes array) causes us to 'free()' uninitialized
memory, since the area is allocated with 'malloc()' and is therefore
subject to contain garbage (which is left alone when
'write_commit_graph_file' returns early).
This can manifest in other issues, like a general protection fault,
and/or leaving a stray 'commit-graph-chain.lock' around after the
process dies. (The reasoning for this is still a mystery to me, since
we'd otherwise usually expect the kernel to run tempfile.c's 'atexit()'
handlers in the case of a normal death...)
To resolve this, initialize the memory with 'CALLOC_ARRAY' so that
uninitialized entries are filled with zeros, and can thus be 'free()'d
as a noop instead of causing a fault.

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.

Add GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS test flag to the test setup suite
in order to toggle writing Bloom filters when running any of the git tests.
If set to true, we will compute and write Bloom filters every time a test
calls `git commit-graph write`, as if the `--changed-paths` option was
passed in.
The test suite passes when GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH and
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS are enabled.

The commit-graph builtin has an --expire-time option that takes a
datetime using OPT_EXPIRY_DATE(). However, the implementation inside
expire_commit_graphs() was treating a non-zero value as a number of
seconds to subtract from "now".
Update t5323-split-commit-graph.sh to demonstrate the correct value
of the --expire-time option by actually creating a crud .graph file
with mtime earlier than the expire time. Instead of using a super-
early time (1980) we use an explicit, and recent, time. Using
test-tool chmtime to create two files on either end of an exact
second, we create a test that catches this failure no matter the
current time. Using a fixed date is more portable than trying to
format a relative date string into the --expiry-date input.
I noticed this when inspecting some Scalar repos that had an excess
number of commit-graph files. In Scalar, we were using this second
interpretation by using "--expire-time=3600" to mean "delete graphs
older than one hour ago" to avoid deleting a commit-graph that a
foreground process may be trying to load.
Also I noticed that the help text was copied from the --max-commits
option. Fix that help text.

The 'git commit-graph read' subcommand is used in test scripts to check
that the commit-graph contents match the expected data. Mostly, this
helps check the header information and the list of chunks. Users do not
need this information, so move the functionality to a test helper.

A mechanism to affect the default setting for a (related) group of
configuration variables is introduced.
* ds/feature-macros:
repo-settings: create feature.experimental setting
repo-settings: create feature.manyFiles setting
repo-settings: parse core.untrackedCache
commit-graph: turn on commit-graph by default
t6501: use 'git gc' in quiet mode
repo-settings: consolidate some config settings
The commit-graph feature has seen a lot of activity in the past
year or so since it was introduced. The feature is a critical
performance enhancement for medium- to large-sized repos, and
does not significantly hurt small repos.
Change the defaults for core.commitGraph and gc.writeCommitGraph
to true so users benefit from this feature by default.
There are several places in the test suite where the environment
variable GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH is disabled to avoid reading a
commit-graph, if it exists. The config option overrides the
environment, so swap these. Some GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH assignments
remain, and those are to avoid writing a commit-graph when a new
commit is created.

In 1771be90 "commit-graph: merge commit-graph chains" (2019-06-18),
the method sort_and_scan_merged_commits() was added to merge the
commit lists of two commit-graph files in the incremental format.
Unfortunately, there was an off-by-one error in that method around
incrementing num_extra_edges, which leads to an incorrect offset
for the base graph chunk.
When we store an octopus merge in the commit-graph file, we store
the first parent in the normal place, but use the second parent
position to point into the "extra edges" chunk where the remaining
parents exist. This means we should be adding "num_parents - 1"
edges to this list, not "num_parents - 2". That is the basic error.
The reason this was not caught in the test suite is more subtle.
In 5324-split-commit-graph.sh, we test creating an octopus merge
and adding it to the tip of a commit-graph chain, then verify the
result. This _should_ have caught the problem, except that when
we load the commit-graph files we were overly careful to not fail
when the commit-graph chain does not match. This care was on
purpose to avoid race conditions as one process reads the chain
and another process modifies it. In such a case, the reading
process outputs the following message to stderr:
warning: commit-graph chain does not match
These warnings are output in the test suite, but ignored. By
checking the stderr of `git commit-graph verify` to include
the expected progress output, it will now catch this error.

run by prepare_commit_graph() in most cases.

When writing commit-graph files, we append path data to an
object directory, which may be specified by the user via the
'--object-dir' option. If the user supplies a trailing slash,
or some other alternative path format, the resulting path may
be usable for writing to the correct location. However, when
expiring graph files from the <obj-dir>/info/commit-graphs
directory during a write, we need to compare paths with exact
string matches.
Normalize the commit-graph filenames to avoid ambiguity. This
creates extra allocations, but this is a constant multiple of
the number of commit-graph files, which should be a number in
the single digits.
Further normalize the object directory in the context. Due to
a comparison between g->obj_dir and ctx->obj_dir in
split_graph_merge_strategy(), a trailing slash would prevent
any merging of layers within the same object directory. The
check is there to ensure we do not merge across alternates.
Update the tests to include a case with this trailing slash
problem.

We allow sharing commit-graph files across alternates. When we are
writing a split commit-graph, we allow adding tip graph files that
are not in the alternate, but include commits from our local repo.
However, if our alternate is not using the split commit-graph format,
its file is at .git/objects/info/commit-graph and we are trying to
write files in .git/objects/info/commit-graphs/graph-{hash}.graph.
We already have logic to ensure we do not merge across alternate
boundaries, but we also cannot have a commit-graph chain to our
alternate if uses the old filename structure.
Create a test that verifies we create a new split commit-graph
with only one level and we do not modify the existing commit-graph
in the alternate.

As we merge commit-graph files in a commit-graph chain, we should clean
up the files that are no longer used.
This change introduces an 'expiry_window' value to the context, which is
always zero (for now). We then check the modified time of each
graph-{hash}.graph file in the $OBJDIR/info/commit-graphs folder and
unlink the files that are older than the expiry_window.
Since this is always zero, this immediately clears all unused graph
files. We will update the value to match a config setting in a future
change.

In an environment like a fork network, it is helpful to have a
commit-graph chain that spans both the base repo and the fork repo. The
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
"commit-graphs/graph-{hash}.graph".

When searching for a commit in a commit-graph chain of G graphs with N
commits, the search takes O(G log N) time. If we always add a new tip
graph with every write, the linear G term will start to dominate and
slow the lookup process.
To keep lookups fast, but also keep most incremental writes fast, create
a strategy for merging levels of the commit-graph chain. The strategy is
detailed in the commit-graph design document, but is summarized by these
two conditions:
1. If the number of commits we are adding is more than half the number
of commits in the graph below, then merge with that graph.
2. If we are writing more than 64,000 commits into a single graph,
then merge with all lower graphs.
The numeric values in the conditions above are currently constant, but
can become config options in a future update.
As we merge levels of the commit-graph chain, check that the commits
still exist in the repository. A garbage-collection operation may have
removed those commits from the object store and we do not want to
persist them in the commit-graph chain. This is a non-issue if the
'git gc' process wrote a new, single-level commit-graph file.
After we merge levels, the old graph-{hash}.graph files are no longer
referenced by the commit-graph-chain file. We will expire these files in
a future change.

The current behavior will add a tip commit-graph containing any commits that
are not in the existing commit-graph or commit-graph chain. Later changes
will allow merging the chain and expiring out-dated files.
Add a new test script (t5324-split-commit-graph.sh) that demonstrates this
behavior.
