Using the commit-graph file to walk commit history removes the large
cost of parsing commits during the walk. This exposes a performance
issue: lookup_tree() takes a large portion of the computation time,
even when Git never uses those trees.
In anticipation of lazy-loading these trees, rename the 'tree' member
of struct commit to 'maybe_tree'. This serves two purposes: it hints
at the future role of possibly being NULL even if the commit has a
valid tree, and it allows for unambiguous transformation from simple
member access (i.e. commit->maybe_tree) to method access.

t6120: fix typo in test name
Teach rev-list to support termination of an object traversal at any
object from a promisor remote (whether one that the local repo also has,
or one that the local repo knows about because it has another promisor
object that references it).
This will be used subsequently in gc and in the connectivity check used
by fetch.
For efficiency, if an object is referenced by a promisor object, and is
in the local repo only as a non-promisor object, object traversal will
not stop there. This is to avoid building the list of promisor object
references.
(In list-objects.c, the case where obj is NULL in process_blob() and
process_tree() do not need to be changed because those happen only when
there is a conflict between the expected type and the existing object.
If the object doesn't exist, an object will be synthesized, which is
fine.)

When we find a blob at "a/b/c", we currently pass this to
our show_object_fn callbacks as two components: "a/b/" and
"c". Callbacks which want the full value then call
path_name(), which concatenates the two. But this is an
inefficient interface; the path is a strbuf, and we could
simply append "c" to it temporarily, then roll back the
length, without creating a new copy.
So we could improve this by teaching the callsites of
path_name() this trick (and there are only 3). But we can
also notice that no callback actually cares about the
broken-down representation, and simply pass each callback
the full path "a/b/c" as a string. The callback code becomes
even simpler, then, as we do not have to worry about freeing
an allocated buffer, nor rolling back our modification to
the strbuf.
This is theoretically less efficient, as some callbacks
would not bother to format the final path component. But in
practice this is not measurable. Since we use the same
strbuf over and over, our work to grow it is amortized, and
we really only pay to memcpy a few bytes.

In the previous commit, we left name_path as a thin wrapper
around a strbuf. This patch drops it entirely. As a result,
every show_object_fn callback needs to be adjusted. However,
none of their code needs to be changed at all, because the
only use was to pass it to path_name(), which now handles
the bare strbuf.

The "struct name_path" data is examined in only two places:
we generate it in process_tree(), and we convert it to a
single string in path_name(). Everyone else just passes it
through to those functions.
We can further note that process_tree() already keeps a
single strbuf with the leading tree path, for use with
tree_entry_interesting().
Instead of building a separate name_path linked list, let's
just use the one we already build in "base". This reduces
the amount of code (especially tricky code in path_name()
which did not check for integer overflows caused by deep
or large pathnames).
It is also more efficient in some instances. Any time we
were using tree_entry_interesting, we were building up the
strbuf anyway, so this is an immediate and obvious win
there. In cases where we were not, we trade off storing
"pathname/" in a strbuf on the heap for each level of the
path, instead of two pointers and an int on the stack (with
one pointer into the tree object). On a 64-bit system, the
latter is 20 bytes; so if path components are less than that
on average, this has lower peak memory usage. In practice
it probably doesn't matter either way; we are already
holding in memory all of the tree objects leading up to each
pathname, and for normal-depth pathnames, we are only
talking about hundreds of bytes.
This patch leaves "struct name_path" as a thin wrapper
around the strbuf, to avoid disrupting callbacks. We should
fix them, but leaving it out makes this diff easier to view.

When we call traverse_commit_list, we may have trees and
blobs in the pending array. As we process these, we pass the
"name" field from the pending entry as the path of the
object within the tree (which then becomes the root path if
we recurse into subtrees).
When we set up the traversal in prepare_revision_walk,
though, the "name" field of any pending trees and blobs is
likely to be the ref at which we found the object. We would
not want to make this part of the path (e.g., doing so would
make "git rev-list --objects v2.6.11-tree" in linux.git show
paths like "v2.6.11-tree/Makefile", which is nonsensical).
Therefore prepare_revision_walk sets the name field of each
pending tree and blobs to the empty string.
However, this leaves no room for a caller who does know the
correct path of a pending object to propagate that
information to the revision walker. We can fix this by
making two related changes:
1. Use the "path" field as the path instead of the "name"
field in traverse_commit_list. If the path is not set,
default to "" (which is what we always ended up with in
the current code, because of prepare_revision_walk).
2. In prepare_revision_walk, make a complete copy of the
entry. This makes the path field available to the
walker (if there is one), solving our problem.
Leaving the name field intact is now OK, as we do not
use it as a path due to point (1) above (and we can use
it to make more meaningful error messages if we want).
We also make the original "mode" field available to the
walker, though it does not actually use it.
Note that we still re-add the pending objects and free the
old ones (so we may strdup the path and name only to free
the old ones). This could be made more efficient by simply
copying the object_array entries that we are keeping.
However, that would require more restructuring of the code,
and is not done here.

When pack-objects is computing the reachability bitmap to
serve a fetch request, it can erroneously die() if some of
the UNINTERESTING objects are not present. Upload-pack
throws away HAVE lines from the client for objects we do not
have, but we may have a tip object without all of its
ancestors (e.g., if the tip is no longer reachable and was
new enough to survive a `git prune`, but some of its
reachable objects did get pruned).
In the non-bitmap case, we do a revision walk with the HAVE
objects marked as UNINTERESTING. The revision walker
explicitly ignores errors in accessing UNINTERESTING commits
to handle this case (and we do not bother looking at
UNINTERESTING trees or blobs at all).
When we have bitmaps, however, the process is quite
different. The bitmap index for a pack-objects run is
calculated in two separate steps:
First, we perform an extensive walk from all the HAVEs to
find the full set of objects reachable from them. This walk
is usually optimized away because we are expected to hit an
object with a bitmap during the traversal, which allows us
to terminate early.
Secondly, we perform an extensive walk from all the WANTs,
which usually also terminates early because we hit a commit
with an existing bitmap.
Once we have the resulting bitmaps from the two walks, we
AND-NOT them together to obtain the resulting set of objects
we need to pack.
When we are walking the HAVE objects, the revision walker
does not know that we are walking it only to mark the
results as uninteresting. We strip out the UNINTERESTING flag,
because those objects _are_ interesting to us during the
first walk. We want to keep going to get a complete set of
reachable objects if we can.
We need some way to tell the revision walker that it's OK to
silently truncate the HAVE walk, just like it does for the
UNINTERESTING case. This patch introduces a new
`ignore_missing_links` flag to the `rev_info` struct, which
we set only for the HAVE walk.
It also adds tests to cover UNINTERESTING objects missing
from several positions: a missing blob, a missing tree, and
a missing parent commit. The missing blob already worked (as
we do not care about its contents at all), but the other two
cases caused us to die().
Note that there are a few cases we do not need to test:
1. We do not need to test a missing tree, with the blob
still present. Without the tree that refers to it, we
would not know that the blob is relevant to our walk.
2. We do not need to test a tip commit that is missing.
Upload-pack omits these for us (and in fact, we
complain even in the non-bitmap case if it fails to do
so).

Fix performance regression in v1.8.4.x and later.
* jk/mark-edges-uninteresting:
list-objects: only look at cmdline trees with edge_hint
t/perf: time rev-list with UNINTERESTING commits
When rev-list is given a command-line like:
git rev-list --objects $commit --not --all
the most accurate answer is the difference between the set
of objects reachable from $commit and the set reachable from
all of the existing refs. However, we have not historically
provided that answer, because it is very expensive to
calculate. We would have to open every tree of every commit
in the entire history.
Instead, we find the accurate set difference of the
reachable commits, and then mark the trees at the boundaries
as uninteresting. This misses objects which appear in the
trees of both the interesting commits and deep within the
uninteresting history.
Commit fbd4a70 (list-objects: mark more commits as edges in
mark_edges_uninteresting, 2013-08-16) noticed that we miss
those objects during pack-objects, and added code to examine
the trees of all of the "--not" refs given on the
command-line. Note that this is still not the complete set
difference, because we look only at the tips of the
command-line arguments, not all of their reachable commits.
But it increases the set of boundary objects we consider,
which is especially important for shallow fetches. So we
are trading extra CPU time for a larger set of boundary
objects, which can improve the resulting pack size for a
--thin pack.
This tradeoff probably makes sense in the context of
pack-objects, where we have set revs->edge_hint to have the
traversal feed us the set of boundary objects. For a
regular rev-list, though, it is probably not a good
tradeoff. It is true that it makes our list slightly closer
to a true set difference, but it is a rare case where this
is important. And because we do not have revs->edge_hint
set, we do nothing useful with the larger set of boundary
objects.
This patch therefore ties the extra tree examination to the
revs->edge_hint flag; it is the presence of that flag that
makes the tradeoff worthwhile.
Here is output from the p0001-rev-list showing the
improvement in performance:

When there is no sufficient overlap between old and new history
during a fetch into a shallow repository, we unnecessarily sent
objects the sending side knows the receiving end has.
* nd/fetch-into-shallow:
Add testcase for needless objects during a shallow fetch
list-objects: mark more commits as edges in mark_edges_uninteresting
list-objects: reduce one argument in mark_edges_uninteresting
upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to pack-objects
shallow: add setup_temporary_shallow()
shallow: only add shallow graft points to new shallow file
move setup_alternate_shallow and write_shallow_commits to shallow.c
The purpose of edge commits is to let pack-objects know what objects
it can use as base, but does not need to include in the thin pack
because the other side is supposed to already have them. So far we
mark uninteresting parents of interesting commits as edges. But even
an unrelated uninteresting commit (that the other side has) may
become a good base for pack-objects and help produce more efficient
packs.
This is especially true for shallow clone, when the client issues a
fetch with a depth smaller or equal to the number of commits the
server is ahead of the client. For example, in this commit history
the client has up to "A" and the server has up to "B":
-------A---B
have--^ ^
/
want--+
If depth 1 is requested, the commit list to send to the client
includes only B. The way m_e_u is working, it checks if parent
commits of B are uninteresting, if so mark them as edges. Due to
shallow effect, commit B is grafted to have no parents and the
revision walker never sees A as the parent of B. In fact it marks no
edges at all in this simple case and sends everything B has to the
client even if it could have excluded what A and also the client
already have.
In a slightly different case where A is not a direct parent of B
(iow there are commits in between A and B), marking A as an edge can
still save some because B may still have stuff from the far ancestor
A.
There is another case from the earlier patch, when we deepen a ref
from C->E to A->E:
---A---B C---D---E
want--^ ^ ^
shallow-+ /
have-------+
In this case we need to send A and B to the client, and C (i.e. the
current shallow point that the client informs the server) is a very
good base because it's closet to A and B. Normal m_e_u won't recognize
C as an edge because it only looks back to parents (i.e. A<-B) not the
opposite way B->C even if C is already marked as uninteresting commit
by the previous patch.
This patch includes all uninteresting commits from command line as
edges and lets pack-objects decide what's best to do. The upside is we
have better chance of producing better packs in certain cases. The
downside is we may need to process some extra objects on the server
side.
For the shallow case on git.git, when the client is 5 commits behind
and does "fetch --depth=3", the result pack is 99.26 KiB instead of
4.92 MiB.

Many code paths will free a tree object's buffer and set it
to NULL after finishing with it in order to keep memory
usage down during a traversal. However, out of 8 sites that
do this, only one actually unsets the "parsed" flag back.
Those sites that don't are setting a trap for later users of
the tree object; even after calling parse_tree, the buffer
will remain NULL, causing potential segfaults.
It is not known whether this is triggerable in the current
code. Most commands do not do an in-memory traversal
followed by actually using the objects again. However, it
does not hurt to be safe for future callers.
In most cases, we can abstract this out to a
"free_tree_buffer" helper. However, there are two
exceptions:
1. The fsck code relies on the parsed flag to know that we
were able to parse the object at one point. We can
switch this to using a flag in the "flags" field.
2. The index-pack code sets the buffer to NULL but does
not free it (it is freed by a caller). We should still
unset the parsed flag here, but we cannot use our
helper, as we do not want to free the buffer.

When traversing commits, the selection of commits would heed the list of

Have process_tree() call tree_entry_interesting() to determine which paths

Naturally, this change can provide a large speedup when paths are specified
together with --objects, since many tree entries are now correctly ignored.
Interestingly, though, this change also gives me a small (~1%) but

Here's a less trivial thing, and slightly more dubious one.
I was looking at that "struct object_array objects", and wondering why we
do that. I have honestly totally forgotten. Why not just call the "show()"
function as we encounter the objects? Rather than add the objects to the
object_array, and then at the very end going through the array and doing a
'show' on all, just do things more incrementally.
Now, there are possible downsides to this:
- the "buffer using object_array" _can_ in theory result in at least
better I-cache usage (two tight loops rather than one more spread out
one). I don't think this is a real issue, but in theory..
- this _does_ change the order of the objects printed. Instead of doing a
"process_tree(revs, commit->tree, &objects, NULL, "");" in the loop
over the commits (which puts all the root trees _first_ in the object
list, this patch just adds them to the list of pending objects, and
then we'll traverse them in that order (and thus show each root tree
object together with the objects we discover under it)
I _think_ the new ordering actually makes more sense, but the object
ordering is actually a subtle thing when it comes to packing
efficiency, so any change in order is going to have implications for
packing. Good or bad, I dunno.
- There may be some reason why we did it that odd way with the object
array, that I have simply forgotten.
Anyway, now that we don't buffer up the objects before showing them
that may actually result in lower memory usage during that whole
traverse_commit_list() phase.
This is seriously not very deeply tested. It makes sense to me, it seems
to pass all the tests, it looks ok, but...
Does anybody remember why we did that "object_array" thing? It used to be
an "object_list" a long long time ago, but got changed into the array due
to better memory usage patterns (those linked lists of obejcts are
horrible from a memory allocation standpoint). But I wonder why we didn't
do this back then. Maybe there's a reason for it.
Or maybe there _used_ to be a reason, and no longer is.

In particular, pushing the "path_name()" call _into_ the show() function
would seem to allow
- more clarity into who "owns" the name (ie now when we free the name in
the show_object callback, it's because we generated it ourselves by
calling path_name())
- not calling path_name() at all, either because we don't care about the
name in the first place, or because we are actually happy walking the
linked list of "struct name_path *" and the last component.
Now, I didn't do that latter optimization, because it would require some
more coding, but especially looking at "builtin-pack-objects.c", we really
don't even want the whole pathname, we really would be better off with the
list of path components.
Why? We use that name for two things:
- add_preferred_base_object(), which actually _wants_ to traverse the
path, and now does it by looking for '/' characters!
- for 'name_hash()', which only cares about the last 16 characters of a
name, so again, generating the full name seems to be just unnecessary
work.
Anyway, so I didn't look any closer at those things, but it did convince
me that the "show_object()" calling convention was crazy, and we're
actually better off doing _less_ in list-objects.c, and giving people
access to the internal data structures so that they can decide whether
they want to generate a path-name or not.
This patch does that, and then for people who did use the name (even if
they might do something more clever in the future), it just does the
straightforward "name = path_name(path, component); .. free(name);" thing.

The name of the processed object was duplicated for passing it to
add_object(), but that already calls path_name, which allocates a new
string anyway. So the memory allocated by the xstrdup calls just went
nowhere, leaking memory.

The goal of this patch is to get rid of the "static struct rev_info
revs" static variable in "builtin-rev-list.c".
To do that, we need to pass the revs to the "show_commit" function
in "builtin-rev-list.c" and this in turn means that the
"traverse_commit_list" function in "list-objects.c" must be passed
functions pointers to functions with 2 parameters instead of one.
So we have to change all the callers and all the functions passed
to "traverse_commit_list".
Anyway this makes the code more clean and more generic, so it
should be a good thing in the long run.

If we were listing objects too then the objects were buffered in an
array only reachable from a stack allocated structure. When this
function returns that array would be leaked as nobody would have
a reference to it anymore.
Historically this hasn't been a problem as the primary user of
traverse_commit_list() (the noble git-rev-list) would terminate
as soon as the function was finished, thus allowing the operating
system to cleanup memory. However we have been leaking this data
in git-pack-objects ever since that program learned how to run the
revision listing internally, rather than relying on reading object
names from git-rev-list.
To better facilitate reuse of traverse_commit_list during other
builtin tools (such as git-fetch) we shouldn't leak temporary memory
like this and instead we need to clean up properly after ourselves.

This removes slightly more lines than it adds, but the real reason for
doing this is that future optimizations will require more setup of the
tree descriptor, and so we want to do it in one place.
Also renamed the "desc.buf" field to "desc.buffer" just to trigger
compiler errors for old-style manual initializations, making sure I
didn't miss anything.

This teaches the internal rev-list logic to understand options
that are needed for pack handling: --all, --unpacked, and --thin.
It also moves two functions from builtin-rev-list to list-objects
so that the two programs can share more code.

Create a separate file, list-objects.c, and move object listing
routines from rev-list to it. The next round will use it in
pack-objects directly.
