We use a custom hash in fast-import to store the set of objects we've
imported so far. It has a fixed set of 2^16 buckets and chains any
collisions with a linked list. As the number of objects grows larger
than that, the load factor increases and we degrade to O(n) lookups and
O(n^2) insertions.
We can scale better by using our hashmap.c implementation, which will
resize the bucket count as we grow. This does incur an extra memory cost
of 8 bytes per object, as hashmap stores the integer hash value for each
entry in its hashmap_entry struct (which we really don't care about
here, because we're just reusing the embedded object hash). But I think
the numbers below justify this (and our per-object memory cost is
already much higher).
I also looked at using khash, but it seemed to perform slightly worse
than hashmap at all sizes, and worse even than the existing code for
small sizes. It's also awkward to use here, because we want to look up a
"struct object_entry" from a "struct object_id", and it doesn't handle
mismatched keys as well. Making a mapping of object_id to object_entry
would be more natural, but that would require pulling the embedded oid
out of the object_entry or incurring an extra 32 bytes per object.
In a synthetic test creating as many cheap, tiny objects as possible
perl -e '
my $bits = shift;
my $nr = 2**$bits;
for (my $i = 0; $i < $nr; $i++) {
print "blob\n";
print "data 4\n";
print pack("N", $i);
}
' $bits | git fast-import
I got these results:
nr_objects master khash hashmap
2^20 0m4.317s 0m5.109s 0m3.890s
2^21 0m10.204s 0m9.702s 0m7.933s
2^22 0m27.159s 0m17.911s 0m16.751s
2^23 1m19.038s 0m35.080s 0m31.963s
2^24 4m18.766s 1m10.233s 1m6.793s
which points to hashmap as the winner. We didn't have any perf tests for
fast-export or fast-import, so I added one as a more real-world case.
It uses an export without blobs since that's significantly cheaper than
a full one, but still is an interesting case people might use (e.g., for
rewriting history). It will emphasize this change in some ways (as a
percentage we spend more time making objects and less shuffling blob
bytes around) and less in others (the total object count is lower).
Here are the results for linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9300.1: export (no-blobs) 67.64(66.96+0.67) 67.81(67.06+0.75) +0.3%
9300.2: import (no-blobs) 284.04(283.34+0.69) 198.09(196.01+0.92) -30.3%
It only has ~5.2M commits and trees, so this is a larger effect than I
expected (the 2^23 case above only improved by 50s or so, but here we
gained almost 90s). This is probably due to actually performing more
object lookups in a real import with trees and commits, as opposed to
just dumping a bunch of blobs into a pack.

This test runs a function which itself runs several assertions. The
last of these assertions cleans up the .git/rebase-apply directory,
since when run with EXPENSIVE set, the function is invoked a second time
to run the same tests with a larger data set.
However, as of 2ac0d6273f ("rebase: change the default backend from "am"
to "merge"", 2020-02-15), the default backend of rebase has changed, and
cleaning up the rebase-apply directory has no effect: it no longer
exists, since we're using rebase-merge instead.
Since we don't really care which rebase backend is in use, let's just
use the command "git rebase --quit", which will do the right thing
regardless.

Evaluating the script in the same namespace as the chord itself creates
potential for variable name collision. And in that case the script would
unknowingly use the chord's variables.
For example, say the script has a variable called 'is_completed', which
also exists in the chord's namespace. The script then calls 'eval' and
sets 'is_completed' to 1 thinking it is setting its own variable,
completely unaware of how the chord works behind the scenes. This leads
to the chord never actually executing because it sees 'is_completed' as
true and thinks it has already completed.
Avoid the potential collision by creating a separate namespace for the
script that is a child of the chord's namespace.

On some MacOS distributions like High Sierra, Tcl 8.5 is shipped by
default. This makes git-gui error out at startup because of the version
mismatch.
The only part that requires Tcl 8.6 is SimpleChord, which depends on
TclOO. So, don't use it and use our homegrown class.tcl instead.
This means some slight syntax changes. Since class.tcl doesn't have an
"unknown" method like TclOO does, we can't just call '$note', but have
to use '$note activate' instead. The constructor now needs a proper
namespace qualifier. Update the documentation to reflect the new syntax.
As of now, the only part of git-gui that needs Tcl 8.5 is a call to
'apply' in lib/index.tcl::lambda. Keep using it until someone shows up
shouting that their OS ships with 8.4 only. Then we would have to look
into implementing it in pure Tcl.
