When reading bitmap file, Git loads each and every bitmap one by one
even if all the bitmaps are not required. A "bitmap lookup table"
extension to the bitmap format can reduce the overhead of loading
bitmaps which stores a list of bitmapped commit id pos (in the midx
or pack, along with their offset and xor offset. This way Git can
load only the necessary bitmaps without loading the previous bitmaps.
Older versions of Git ignore the lookup table extension and don't
throw any kind of warning or error while parsing the bitmap file.
Add some information for the new "bitmap lookup table" extension in the
bitmap-format documentation.

Several Git commands have subcommands to implement mutually exclusive
"operation modes", and they usually parse their subcommand argument
with a bunch of if-else if statements.
Teach parse-options to handle subcommands as well, which will result
in shorter and simpler code with consistent error handling and error
messages on unknown or missing subcommand, and it will also make
possible for our Bash completion script to handle subcommands
programmatically.
The approach is guided by the following observations:
- Most subcommands [1] are implemented in dedicated functions, and
most of those functions [2] either have a signature matching the
'int cmd_foo(int argc, const char **argc, const char *prefix)'
signature of builtin commands or can be trivially converted to
that signature, because they miss only that last prefix parameter
or have no parameters at all.
- Subcommand arguments only have long form, and they have no double
dash prefix, no negated form, and no description, and they don't
take any arguments, and can't be abbreviated.
- There must be exactly one subcommand among the arguments, or zero
if the command has a default operation mode.
- All arguments following the subcommand are considered to be
arguments of the subcommand, and, conversely, arguments meant for
the subcommand may not preceed the subcommand.
So in the end subcommand declaration and parsing would look something
like this:
parse_opt_subcommand_fn *fn = NULL;
struct option builtin_commit_graph_options[] = {
OPT_STRING(0, "object-dir", &opts.obj_dir, N_("dir"),
N_("the object directory to store the graph")),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("verify", &fn, graph_verify),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("write", &fn, graph_write),
OPT_END(),
};
argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options,
builtin_commit_graph_usage, 0);
return fn(argc, argv, prefix);
Here each OPT_SUBCOMMAND specifies the name of the subcommand and the
function implementing it, and the address of the same 'fn' subcommand
function pointer. parse_options() then processes the arguments until
it finds the first argument matching one of the subcommands, sets 'fn'
to the function associated with that subcommand, and returns, leaving
the rest of the arguments unprocessed. If none of the listed
subcommands is found among the arguments, parse_options() will show
usage and abort.
If a command has a default operation mode, 'fn' should be initialized
to the function implementing that mode, and parse_options() should be
invoked with the PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag. In this case
parse_options() won't error out when not finding any subcommands, but
will return leaving 'fn' unchanged. Note that if that default
operation mode has any --options, then the PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
flag is necessary as well (otherwise parse_options() would error out
upon seeing the unknown option meant to the default operation mode).
Some thoughts about the implementation:
- The same pointer to 'fn' must be specified as 'value' for each
OPT_SUBCOMMAND, because there can be only one set of mutually
exclusive subcommands; parse_options() will BUG() otherwise.
There are other ways to tell parse_options() where to put the
function associated with the subcommand given on the command line,
but I didn't like them:
- Change parse_options()'s signature by adding a pointer to
subcommand function to be set to the function associated with
the given subcommand, affecting all callsites, even those that
don't have subcommands.
- Introduce a specific parse_options_and_subcommand() variant
with that extra funcion parameter.
- I decided against automatically calling the subcommand function
from within parse_options(), because:
- There are commands that have to perform additional actions
after option parsing but before calling the function
implementing the specified subcommand.
- The return code of the subcommand is usually the return code
of the git command, but preserving the return code of the
automatically called subcommand function would have made the
API awkward.
- Also add a OPT_SUBCOMMAND_F() variant to allow specifying an
option flag: we have two subcommands that are purposefully
excluded from completion ('git remote rm' and 'git stash save'),
so they'll have to be specified with the PARSE_OPT_NOCOMPLETE
flag.
- Some of the 'parse_opt_flags' don't make sense with subcommands,
and using them is probably just an oversight or misunderstanding.
Therefore parse_options() will BUG() when invoked with any of the
following flags while the options array contains at least one
OPT_SUBCOMMAND:
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH: parse_options() stops parsing
arguments when encountering a "--" argument, so it doesn't
make sense to expect and keep one before a subcommand, because
it would prevent the parsing of the subcommand.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, because the double dash
might be meaningful for the command's default operation mode,
e.g. to disambiguate refs and pathspecs.
- PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION: As its name suggests, this flag
tells parse_options() to stop as soon as it encouners a
non-option argument, but subcommands are by definition not
options... so how could they be parsed, then?!
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN: This flag can be used to collect any
unknown --options and then pass them to a different command or
subsystem. Surely if a command has subcommands, then this
functionality should rather be delegated to one of those
subcommands, and not performed by the command itself.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, making possible to pass
--options to the default operation mode.
- If the command with subcommands has a default operation mode, then
all arguments to the command must preceed the arguments of the
subcommand.
AFAICT we don't have any commands where this makes a difference,
because in those commands either only the command accepts any
arguments ('notes' and 'remote'), or only the default subcommand
('reflog' and 'stash'), but never both.
- The 'argv' array passed to subcommand functions currently starts
with the name of the subcommand. Keep this behavior. AFAICT no
subcommand functions depend on the actual content of 'argv[0]',
but the parse_options() call handling their options expects that
the options start at argv[1].
- To support handling subcommands programmatically in our Bash
completion script, 'git cmd --git-completion-helper' will now list
both subcommands and regular --options, if any. This means that
the completion script will have to separate subcommands (i.e.
words without a double dash prefix) from --options on its own, but
that's rather easy to do, and it's not much work either, because
the number of subcommands a command might have is rather low, and
those commands accept only a single --option or none at all. An
alternative would be to introduce a separate option that lists
only subcommands, but then the completion script would need not
one but two git invocations and command substitutions for commands
with subcommands.
Note that this change doesn't affect the behavior of our Bash
completion script, because when completing the --option of a
command with subcommands, e.g. for 'git notes --<TAB>', then all
subcommands will be filtered out anyway, as none of them will
match the word to be completed starting with that double dash
prefix.
[1] Except 'git rerere', because many of its subcommands are
implemented in the bodies of the if-else if statements parsing the
command's subcommand argument.
[2] Except 'credential', 'credential-store' and 'fsmonitor--daemon',
because some of the functions implementing their subcommands take
special parameters.

When we specify GIT_TRACE2_CONFIG_PARAMS or trace2.configparams,
trace2 will prints "interesting" config values to log. Sometimes,
when a config set in multiple scope files, the following output
looks like (the irrelevant fields are omitted here as "..."):
...| def_param | ... | core.multipackindex:false

The previous change introduced the bundle URI design document. It

to organize Git object data and speed up clones and fetches. It is
particularly important that we have flexibility so we can apply future
advancements as new ideas for efficiently organizing Git data are

However, the design document does not provide even an example of how
bundles could be organized, and that makes it difficult to envision how
the feature should work at the end of the implementation plan.
Add a section that details how a bundle provider could work, including

Add a bug() function to use in cases where we'd like to indicate a

possibly accumulating more bug() callers to exhaustively indicate what

We already have this sort of facility in various parts of the
codebase, just in the form of ad-hoc re-inventions of the
functionality that this new API provides. E.g. this will be used to
replace optbug() in parse-options.c, and the 'error("BUG:[...]' we do
in a loop in builtin/receive-pack.c.
Unlike the code this replaces we'll log to trace2 with this new bug()
function (as with other usage.c functions, including BUG()), we'll
also be able to avoid calls to xstrfmt() in some cases, as the bug()
function itself accepts variadic sprintf()-like arguments.
Any caller to bug() can follow up such calls with BUG_if_bug(),
which will BUG() out (i.e. abort()) if there were any preceding calls
to bug(), callers can also decide not to call BUG_if_bug() and leave
the resulting BUG() invocation until exit() time. There are currently
no bug() API users that don't call BUG_if_bug() themselves after a
for-loop, but allowing for not calling BUG_if_bug() keeps the API
flexible. As the tests and documentation here show we'll catch missing
BUG_if_bug() invocations in our exit() wrapper.

a function elsewhere, let's also use that here.
While at it, ensure the same for `waitpid()`.

"git fetch --refetch" learned to fetch everything without telling
the other side what we already have, which is useful when you
cannot trust what you have in the local object store.
* rc/fetch-refetch:
docs: mention --refetch fetch option
fetch: after refetch, encourage auto gc repacking
t5615-partial-clone: add test for fetch --refetch
fetch: add --refetch option
builtin/fetch-pack: add --refetch option
fetch-pack: add refetch
fetch-negotiator: add specific noop initializer
Document it for partial clones as a means to apply a new filter, and
reference it from the remote.<name>.partialclonefilter config parameter.

Bundle file format gets extended to allow a partial bundle,
filtered by similar criteria you would give when making a
partial/lazy clone.
* ds/partial-bundles:
clone: fail gracefully when cloning filtered bundle
bundle: unbundle promisor packs
bundle: create filtered bundles
rev-list: move --filter parsing into revision.c
bundle: parse filter capability
list-objects: handle NULL function pointers
MyFirstObjectWalk: update recommended usage
list-objects: consolidate traverse_commit_list[_filtered]
pack-bitmap: drop filter in prepare_bitmap_walk()
pack-objects: use rev.filter when possible
revision: put object filter into struct rev_info
list-objects-filter-options: create copy helper
index-pack: document and test the --promisor option
Fixes to the way generation number v2 in the commit-graph files are
(not) handled.
* ds/commit-graph-gen-v2-fixes:
commit-graph: declare bankruptcy on GDAT chunks
commit-graph: fix generation number v2 overflow values
commit-graph: start parsing generation v2 (again)
commit-graph: fix ordering bug in generation numbers
t5318: extract helpers to lib-commit-graph.sh
test-read-graph: include extra post-parse info
The v3 bundle format has capabilities, allowing newer versions of Git to
create bundles with newer features. Older versions that do not
understand these new capabilities will fail with a helpful warning.
Create a new capability allowing Git to understand that the contained
pack-file is filtered according to some object filter. Typically, this
filter will be "blob:none" for a blobless partial clone.
This change teaches Git to parse this capability, place its value in the
bundle header, and demonstrate this understanding by adding a message to
'git bundle verify'.
Since we will use gently_parse_list_objects_filter() outside of
list-objects-filter-options.c, make it an external method and move its
API documentation to before its declaration.

The Generation Data (GDAT) and Generation Data Overflow (GDOV) chunks
store corrected commit date offsets, used for generation number v2.
Recent changes have demonstrated that previous versions of Git were
incorrectly parsing data from these chunks, but might have also been
writing them incorrectly.
I asserted [1] that the previous fixes were sufficient because the known
reasons for incorrectly writing generation number v2 data relied on
parsing the information incorrectly out of a commit-graph file, but the
previous versions of Git were not reading the generation number v2 data.
However, Patrick demonstrated [2] a case where in split commit-graphs
across an alternate boundary (and possibly some other special
conditions) it was possible to have a commit-graph that was generated by
a previous version of Git have incorrect generation number v2 data which
results in errors like the following:
commit-graph generation for commit <oid> is 1623273624 < 1623273710
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/f50e74f0-9ffa-f4f2-4663-269801495ed3@github.com/
[2] https://lore.kernel.org/git/Yh93vOkt2DkrGPh2@ncase/
Clearly, there is something else going on. The situation is not
completely understood, but the errors do not reproduce if the
commit-graphs are all generated by a Git version including these recent
fixes.
If we cannot trust the existing data in the GDAT and GDOV chunks, then
we can alter the format to change the chunk IDs for these chunks. This
causes the new version of Git to silently ignore the older chunks (and
disabling generation number v2 in the process) while writing new
commit-graph files with correct data in the GDA2 and GDO2 chunks.
Update commit-graph-format.txt including a historical note about these
deprecated chunks.
