This just shows off the improvements done by the last few
patches, and gives us a baseline for noticing regressions in
the future. Here are the results with linux.git as the perf
"large repo":
Test origin HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------
0003.1: log --raw 43.41(40.36+2.69) 33.86(30.96+2.41) -22.0%
0003.2: log -S 313.61(309.74+3.78) 298.75(295.58+3.00) -4.7%
(for a large repo, the "log -S" improvements are greater if
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).

The fundamental data structure of the delta base cache is a
hash table mapping pairs of "(packfile, offset)" into
structs containing the actual object data. The hash table
implementation dates back to e5e0161 (Implement a simple
delta_base cache, 2007-03-17), and uses a fixed-size table.
The current size is a hard-coded 256 entries.
Because we need to be able to remove objects from the hash
table, entry lookup does not do any kind of probing to
handle collisions. Colliding items simply replace whatever
is in their slot. As a result, we have fewer usable slots
than even the 256 we allocate. At half full, each new item
has a 50% chance of displacing another one. Or another way
to think about it: every item has a 1/256 chance of being
ejected due to hash collision, without regard to our LRU
strategy.
So it would be interesting to see the effect of increasing
the cache size on the runtime for some common operations. As
with the previous patch, we'll measure "git log --raw" for
tree-only operations, and "git log -Sfoo --raw" for
operations that touch trees and blobs. All times are
wall-clock best-of-3, done against fully packed repos with
--depth=50, and the default core.deltaBaseCacheLimit of
96MB.
Here are timings for various values of MAX_DELTA_CACHE
against git.git (the asterisk marks the minimum time for
each operation):

The log-raw case isn't changed much at all here (probably
because our trees just aren't that big in the first place,
or possibly because we have so _few_ trees in git.git that
the 256-entry cache is enough). But once we start putting
blobs in the cache, too, we see a big improvement (almost
50%). The curve levels off around 4096, which means that we
can hold about that many entries before hitting the 96MB
memory limit (or possibly that the workload is small enough
that there is simply no more work to be optimized out by
caching more).
(As a side note, I initially timed my existing git.git pack,
which was a base of --aggressive combined with some pulls on
top. So it had quite a few deeper delta chains. The
256-cache case was more like 15s, and it still dropped to
~6.5s in the same way).
Here are the timings for linux.git:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m41.661s 5m12.410s
512 0m39.547s 5m07.920s
1024 0m37.054s 4m54.666s
2048 0m35.871s 4m41.194s*
4096 0m34.646s 4m51.648s
8192 0m33.881s 4m55.342s
16384 0m35.190s 5m00.122s
32768 0m35.060s 4m58.851s
65536 0m33.311s* 4m51.420s
As we grow we see a nice 20% speedup in the tree traversal,
and more modest 10% in the log-S. This is probably an
indication that we are bound less by the number of entries,
and more by the memory limit (more on that below). What is
interesting is that the numbers bounce around a bit;
increasing the number of entries isn't always a strict
improvement.
Partially this is due to noise in the measurement. But it
may also be an indication that our LRU ejection scheme is
not optimal. The smaller cache sizes introduce some
randomness into the ejection (due to collisions), which may
sometimes work in our favor (and sometimes not!).
So what is the optimal setting of MAX_DELTA_CACHE? The
"bouncing" in the linux.git log-S numbers notwithstanding,
it mostly seems like bigger is better. And even if we were
to try to find a "sweet spot", these are just two
repositories, that are not necessarily representative. The
shape of history, the size of trees and blobs, the memory
limit configuration, etc, all will affect the outcome.
Rather than trying to find the "right" number, another
strategy is to just switch to a hash table that can actually
store collisions: namely our hashmap.h implementation.
Here are numbers for that compared to the "best" we saw from
adjusting MAX_DELTA_CACHE:
| log-raw | log-S
| best hashmap | best hashmap
| --------- --------- | --------- ---------
git | 0m02.144s 0m02.144s | 0m06.448s 0m06.688s
linux | 0m33.311s 0m33.092s | 4m41.194s 4m57.172s
We can see the results are similar in most cases, which is
what we'd expect. We're not ejecting due to collisions at
all, so this is purely representing the LRU. So really, we'd
expect this to model most closely the larger values of the
static MAX_DELTA_CACHE limit. And that does seem to be
what's happening, including the "bounce" in the linux log-S
case.
So while the value for that case _isn't_ as good as the
optimal one measured above (which was 2048 entries), given
the bouncing I'm hesitant to suggest that 2048 is any kind
of optimum (not even for linux.git, let alone as a general
rule). The generic hashmap has the appeal that it drops the
number of tweakable numbers by one, which means we can focus
on tuning other elements, like the LRU strategy or the
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit setting.
And indeed, if we bump the cache limit to 1G (which is
probably silly for general use, but maybe something people
with big workstations would want to do), the linux.git log-S
time drops to 3m32s. That's something you really _can't_ do
easily with the static hash table, because the number of
entries needs to grow in proportion to the memory limit (so
2048 is almost certainly not going to be the right value
there).
This patch takes that direction, and drops the static hash
table entirely in favor of using the hashmap.h API.

When the delta base cache runs out of allowed memory, it has
to drop entries. It does so by walking an LRU list, dropping
objects until we are under the memory limit. But we actually
walk the list twice: once to drop blobs, and then again to
drop other objects (which are generally trees). This comes
from 18bdec1 (Limit the size of the new delta_base_cache,
2007-03-19).
This performs poorly as the number of entries grows, because
any time dropping blobs does not satisfy the limit, we have
to walk the _entire_ list, trees included, looking for blobs
to drop, before starting to drop any trees.
It's not generally a problem now, as the cache is limited to
only 256 entries. But as we could benefit from increasing
that in a future patch, it's worth looking at how it
performs as the cache size grows. And the answer is "not
well".
The table below shows times for various operations with
different values of MAX_DELTA_CACHE (which is not a run-time
knob; I recompiled with -DMAX_DELTA_CACHE=$n for each).
I chose "git log --raw" ("log-raw" in the table) because it
will access all of the trees, but no blobs at all (so in a
sense it is a worst case for this problem, because we will
always walk over the entire list of trees once before
realizing there are no blobs to drop). This is also
representative of other tree-only operations like "rev-list
--objects" and "git log -- <path>".
I also timed "git log -Sfoo --raw" ("log-S" in the table).
It similarly accesses all of the trees, but also the blobs
for each commit. It's representative of "git log -p", though
it emphasizes the cost of blob access more, as "-S" is
cheaper than computing an actual blob diff.
All timings are best-of-3 wall-clock times (though they all
were CPU bound, so the user CPU times are similar). The
repositories were fully packed with --depth=50, and the
default core.deltaBaseCacheLimit of 96M was in effect. The
current value of MAX_DELTA_CACHE is 256, so I started there
and worked up by factors of 2.
First, here are values for git.git (the asterisk signals the
fastest run for each operation):
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m02.212s 0m12.634s
512 0m02.136s* 0m10.614s
1024 0m02.156s 0m08.614s
2048 0m02.208s 0m07.062s
4096 0m02.190s 0m06.484s*
8192 0m02.176s 0m07.635s
16384 0m02.913s 0m19.845s
32768 0m03.617s 1m05.507s
65536 0m04.031s 1m18.488s
You can see that for the tree-only log-raw case, we don't
actually benefit that much as the cache grows (all the
differences up through 8192 are basically just noise; this
is probably because we don't actually have that many
distinct trees in git.git). But for log-S, we get a definite
speed improvement as the cache grows, but the improvements
are lost as cache size grows and the linear LRU management
starts to dominate.
Here's the same thing run against linux.git:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ----------
256 0m40.987s 5m13.216s
512 0m37.949s 5m03.243s
1024 0m35.977s 4m50.580s
2048 0m33.855s 4m39.818s
4096 0m32.913s 4m47.299s*
8192 0m32.176s* 5m14.650s
16384 0m32.185s 6m31.625s
32768 0m38.056s 9m31.136s
65536 1m30.518s 17m38.549s
The pattern is similar, though the effect in log-raw is more
pronounced here. The times dip down in the middle, and then
go back up as we keep growing.
So we know there's a problem. What's the solution?
The obvious one is to improve the data structure to avoid
walking over tree entries during the looking-for-blobs
traversal. We can do this by keeping _two_ LRU lists: one
for blobs, and one for other objects. We drop items from the
blob LRU first, and then from the tree LRU (if necessary).
Here's git.git using that strategy:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ----------
256 0m02.264s 0m12.830s
512 0m02.201s 0m10.771s
1024 0m02.181s 0m08.593s
2048 0m02.205s 0m07.116s
4096 0m02.158s 0m06.537s*
8192 0m02.213s 0m07.246s
16384 0m02.155s* 0m10.975s
32768 0m02.159s 0m16.047s
65536 0m02.181s 0m16.992s
The upswing on log-raw is gone completely. But log-S still
has it (albeit much better than without this strategy).
Let's see what linux.git shows:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m42.519s 5m14.654s
512 0m39.106s 5m04.708s
1024 0m36.802s 4m51.454s
2048 0m34.685s 4m39.378s*
4096 0m33.663s 4m44.047s
8192 0m33.157s 4m50.644s
16384 0m33.090s* 4m49.648s
32768 0m33.458s 4m53.371s
65536 0m33.563s 5m04.580s
The results are similar. The tree-only case again performs
well (not surprising; we're literally just dropping the one
useless walk, and not otherwise changing the cache eviction
strategy at all). But the log-S case again does a bit worse
as the cache grows (though possibly that's within the noise,
which is much larger for this case).
Perhaps this is an indication that the "remove blobs first"
strategy is not actually optimal. The intent of it is to
avoid blowing out the tree cache when we see large blobs,
but it also means we'll throw away useful, recent blobs in
favor of older trees.
Let's run the same numbers without caring about object type
at all (i.e., one LRU list, and always evicting whatever is
at the head, regardless of type).
Here's git.git:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m02.227s 0m12.821s
512 0m02.143s 0m10.602s
1024 0m02.127s 0m08.642s
2048 0m02.148s 0m07.123s
4096 0m02.194s 0m06.448s*
8192 0m02.239s 0m06.504s
16384 0m02.144s* 0m06.502s
32768 0m02.202s 0m06.622s
65536 0m02.230s 0m06.677s
Much smoother; there's no dramatic upswing as we increase
the cache size (some remains, though it's small enough that
it's mostly run-to-run noise. E.g., in the log-raw case,
note how 8192 is 50-100ms higher than its neighbors). Note
also that we stop getting any real benefit for log-S after
about 4096 entries; that number will depend on the size of
the repository, the size of the blob entries, and the memory
limit of the cache.
Let's see what linux.git shows for the same strategy:
MAX_DELTA_CACHE log-raw log-S
--------------- --------- ---------
256 0m41.661s 5m12.410s
512 0m39.547s 5m07.920s
1024 0m37.054s 4m54.666s
2048 0m35.871s 4m41.194s*
4096 0m34.646s 4m51.648s
8192 0m33.881s 4m55.342s
16384 0m35.190s 5m00.122s
32768 0m35.060s 4m58.851s
65536 0m33.311s* 4m51.420s
It's similarly good. As with the "separate blob LRU"
strategy, there's a lot of noise on the log-S run here. But
it's certainly not any worse, is possibly a bit better, and
the improvement over "separate blob LRU" on the git.git case
is dramatic.
So it seems like a clear winner, and that's what this patch
implements.

We keep an LRU list of entries for when we need to drop
something from an over-full cache. The list is implemented
as a circular doubly-linked list, which is exactly what
list.h provides. We can save a few lines by using the list.h
macros and functions. More importantly, this makes the code
easier to follow, as the reader sees explicit concepts like
"list_add_tail()" instead of pointer manipulation.
As a bonus, the list_entry() macro lets us place the lru
pointers anywhere inside the delta_base_cache_entry struct
(as opposed to just casting the pointer, which requires it
at the front of the struct). This will be useful in later
patches when we need to place other items at the front of
the struct (e.g., our hashmap implementation requires this).

This function drops an entry entirely from the cache,
meaning that aside from the freeing of the buffer, it is
exactly equivalent to detach_delta_base_cache_entry(). Let's

The delta base cache entries are stored in a fixed-length
hash table. So the way to remove an entry is to "clear" the
slot in the table, and that is what this function does.
However, the name is a leaky abstraction. If we were to
change the hash table implementation, it would no longer be
about "clearing". We should name it after _what_ it does,
not _how_ it does it. I.e., something like "remove" instead
of "clear".
But that does not tell the whole story, either. The subtle
thing about this function is that it removes the entry, but
does not free the entry data. So a more descriptive name is
"detach"; we give ownership of the data buffer to the
caller, and remove any other resources.
This patch uses the name detach_delta_base_cache_entry().
We could further model this after functions like
strbuf_detach(), which pass back all of the detached
information. However, since there are so many bits of
information in the struct (the data, the size, the type),
and so few callers (only one), it's not worth that
awkwardness. The name change and a comment can make the
intent clear.

There is only one caller of cache_or_unpack_entry() and it
always passes 1 for the keep_cache parameter. We can
simplify it by dropping the "!keep_cache" case.
Another call, which did pass 0, was dropped in abe601b
(sha1_file: remove recursion in unpack_entry, 2013-03-27),
as unpack_entry() now does more complicated things than a
simple unpack when there is a cache miss.

Linus's original was rebased to apply to the maintenance track just
in case binary distributors that are stuck in the past want to take

gpg-interface: prefer "long" key format output when verifying pgp signatures
Yes, gpg2 already uses the long format by default, but most
distributions seem to still have "gpg" be the older 1.x version due to
compatibility reasons. And older versions of gpg only show the 32-bit
short ID, which is quite insecure.
This doesn't actually matter for the _verification_ itself: if the
verification passes, the pgp signature is good. But if you don't
actually have the key yet, and want to fetch it, or you want to check
exactly which key was used for verification and want to check it, we
should specify the key with more precision.
In fact, we should preferentially specify the whole key fingerprint, but
gpg doesn't actually support that. Which is really quite sad.
Showing the "long" format improves things to at least show 64 bits of
the fingerprint. That's a lot better, even if it's not perfect.

If you already use gpg2 (either because it's installed by default, or
because you have set your gpg_program configuration to point to gpg2),
that already used the long format, you'll also see a change: it will now
have the same formatting as gpg 1.x, and the verification string looks
something like

so there is certainly a chance this could break some automated scripting.
But the 32-bit key ID's really are broken. Also note that because of the
differences between gpg-1.x and gpg-2.x, hopefully any scripted key ID
parsing code (if such code exists) is already flexible enough to not care.
This was triggered by the fact that the "evil32" project keys ended up
leaking to the public key servers, so now there are 32-bit aliases for

The idea of the --git-path option is not only to avoid having to
prefix paths with the output of --git-dir all the time, but also to
respect overrides for specific common paths inside the .git directory
(e.g. `git rev-parse --git-path objects` will report the value of the
environment variable GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, if set).
When introducing the core.hooksPath setting, we forgot to adjust
git_path() accordingly. This patch fixes that.
While at it, revert the special-casing of core.hooksPath in
run-command.c, as it is now no longer needed.

Some pathnames that are okay on ext4 and on HFS+ cannot be checked
out on Windows. Tests that want to see operations on such paths on
filesystems that support them must do so behind appropriate test
prerequisites, and must not include them in the source tree (instead
they should create them when they run). Otherwise, the source tree
cannot even be checked out.
Make sure that double-quotes, asterisk, colon, greater/less-than,
question-mark, backslash, tab, vertical-bar, as well as any non-ASCII
characters never appear in the pathnames with a new test-lint-* target
as part of a `make test`. To that end, we call `git ls-files` (ensuring
that the paths are quoted properly), relying on the fact that paths
containing non-ASCII characters are quoted within double-quotes.
In case that the source code does not actually live in a Git
repository (e.g. when extracted from a .zip file), or that the `git`
executable cannot be executed, we simply ignore the error for now; In
that case, our trusty Continuous Integration will be the last line of
defense and catch any problematic file name.
Noticed when a topic wanted to add a pathname with '>' in it. A
check like this will prevent a similar problems from happening in the
future.

At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the
exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we
don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files
differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the
selected diff utility is not found.
POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for
"command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the
command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash
and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use
"1" for the exit status we want to ignore.
Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that
some form of fatal error occurred.

When a non-reversible CRLF conversion is done in "git add",
a warning is printed on stderr (or Git dies, depending on checksafe)
The function commit_chk_wrnNNO() in t0027 was written to test this,
but did the wrong thing: Instead of looking at the warning
from "git add", it looked at the warning from "git commit".
This is racy because "git commit" may not have to do CRLF conversion
at all if it can use the sha1 value from the index (which depends on
whether "add" and "commit" run in a single second).
Correct t0027 and replace the commit for each and every file with a commit
of all files in one go.
The function commit_chk_wrnNNO() should be renamed in a separate commit.
Now that t0027 does the right thing, it detects a bug in covert.c:
This sequence should generate the warning `LF will be replaced by CRLF`,
but does not:
$ git init
$ git config core.autocrlf false
$ printf "Line\r\n" >file
$ git add file
$ git commit -m "commit with CRLF"
$ git config core.autocrlf true
$ printf "Line\n" >file
$ git add file
"git add" calls crlf_to_git() in convert.c, which calls check_safe_crlf().
When has_cr_in_index(path) is true, crlf_to_git() returns too early and
check_safe_crlf() is not called at all.
Factor out the code which determines if "git checkout" converts LF->CRLF
into will_convert_lf_to_crlf().
Update the logic around check_safe_crlf() and "simulate" the possible
LF->CRLF conversion at "git checkout" with help of will_convert_lf_to_crlf().
Thanks to Jeff King <peff@peff.net> for analyzing t0027.

Convert the name member of struct merge_remote_desc to a FLEX_ARRAY and
use FLEX_ALLOC_STR to build the struct. This halves the number of
memory allocations, saves the storage for a pointer and avoids an
indirection when reading the name.

One of the indirect callers of make_virtual_commit() passes the result of
oid_to_hex() as the name, i.e. a pointer to a static buffer. Since the
function uses that string pointer directly in building a struct
merge_remote_desc, multiple entries can end up sharing the same name
inadvertently.
Fix that by calling set_merge_remote_desc(), which creates a copy of the
string, instead of building the struct by hand.

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
changes and attempts to find matches. This has been optimized by
lazily computing the full patch-id (which is expensive) to be
compared only for changes that touch the same set of paths.
* kw/patch-ids-optim:
rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs
patch-ids: add flag to create the diff patch id using header only data
patch-ids: replace the seen indicator with a commit pointer
patch-ids: stop using a hand-rolled hashmap implementation
The http-backend (the server-side component of smart-http
transport) used to trickle the HTTP header one at a time. Now
these write(2)s are batched.
* ew/http-backend-batch-headers:
http-backend: buffer headers before sending
"git mv dir non-existing-dir/" did not work in some environments
the same way as existing mainstream platforms. The code now moves
"dir" to "non-existing-dir", without relying on rename("A", "B/")
that strips the trailing slash of '/'.
* js/mv-dir-to-new-directory:
git mv: do not keep slash in `git mv dir non-existing-dir/`
