3da4b609bb commit-graph: verify chains with --shallow mode
If we wrote a commit-graph chain, we only modified the tip file in
the chain. It is valuable to verify what we wrote, but not waste
time checking files we did not write.

Add a '--shallow' option to the 'git commit-graph verify' subcommand
and check that it does not read the base graph in a two-file chain.

Making the verify subcommand read from a chain of commit-graphs takes
some rearranging of the builtin code.

c2bc6e6ab0 commit-graph: create options for split files
The split commit-graph feature is now fully implemented, but needs
some more run-time configurability. Allow direct callers to 'git
commit-graph write --split' to specify the values used in the
merge strategy and the expire time.

Update the documentation to specify these values.

c523035cbd commit-graph: allow cross-alternate chains
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".

6c622f9f0b commit-graph: write commit-graph chains
Extend write_commit_graph() to write a commit-graph chain when given the
COMMIT_GRAPH_SPLIT flag.

This implementation is purposefully simplistic in how it creates a new
chain. The commits not already in the chain are added to a new tip
commit-graph file.

Much of the logic around writing a graph-{hash}.graph file and updating
the commit-graph-chain file is the same as the commit-graph file case.
However, there are several places where we need to do some extra logic
in the split case.

Track the list of graph filenames before and after the planned write.
This will be more important when we start merging graph files, but it
also allows us to upgrade our commit-graph file to the appropriate
graph-{hash}.graph file when we upgrade to a chain of commit-graphs.

Note that we use the eighth byte of the commit-graph header to store the
number of base graph files. This determines the length of the base
graphs chunk.

A subtle change of behavior with the new logic is that we do not write a
commit-graph if we our commit list is empty. This extends to the typical
case, which is reflected in t5318-commit-graph.sh.

118bd57002 commit-graph: add base graphs chunk
To quickly verify a commit-graph chain is valid on load, we will
read from the new "Base Graphs Chunk" of each file in the chain.
This will prevent accidentally loading incorrect data from manually
editing the commit-graph-chain file or renaming graph-{hash}.graph
files.

The commit_graph struct already had an object_id struct "oid", but
it was never initialized or used. Add a line to read the hash from
the end of the commit-graph file and into the oid member.

d4f4d60f6d commit-graph: prepare for commit-graph chains
To prepare for a chain of commit-graph files, augment the
commit_graph struct to point to a base commit_graph. As we load
commits from the graph, we may actually want to read from a base
file according to the graph position.

The "graph position" of a commit is given by concatenating the
lexicographic commit orders from each of the commit-graph files in
the chain. This means that we must distinguish two values:

 * lexicographic index : the position within the lexicographic
   order in a single commit-graph file.

 * graph position: the position within the concatenated order
   of multiple commit-graph files

Given the lexicographic index of a commit in a graph, we can
compute the graph position by adding the number of commits in
the lower-level graphs. To find the lexicographic index of
a commit, we subtract the number of commits in lower-level graphs.

While here, change insert_parent_or_die() to take a uint32_t
position, as that is the type used by its only caller and that
makes more sense with the limits in the commit-graph format.

e103f7276f commit-graph: return with errors during write
The write_commit_graph() method uses die() to report failure and
exit when confronted with an unexpected condition. This use of
die() in a library function is incorrect and is now replaced by
error() statements and an int return type. Return zero on success
and a negative value on failure.

Now that we use 'goto cleanup' to jump to the terminal condition
on an error, we have new paths that could lead to uninitialized
values. New initializers are added to correct for this.

The builtins 'commit-graph', 'gc', and 'commit' call these methods,
so update them to check the return value. Test that 'git commit-graph
write' returns a proper error code when hitting a failure condition
in write_commit_graph().

43d3561805 commit-graph write: don't die if the existing graph is corrupt
When the commit-graph is written we end up calling
parse_commit(). This will in turn invoke code that'll consult the
existing commit-graph about the commit, if the graph is corrupted we
die.

We thus get into a state where a failing "commit-graph verify" can't
be followed-up with a "commit-graph write" if core.commitGraph=true is
set, the graph either needs to be manually removed to proceed, or
core.commitGraph needs to be set to "false".

Change the "commit-graph write" codepath to use a new
parse_commit_no_graph() helper instead of parse_commit() to avoid
this. The latter will call repo_parse_commit_internal() with
use_commit_graph=1 as seen in 177722b344 ("commit: integrate commit
graph with commit parsing", 2018-04-10).

Not using the old graph at all slows down the writing of the new graph
by some small amount, but is a sensible way to prevent an error in the
existing commit-graph from spreading.

Just fixing the current issue would be likely to result in code that's
inadvertently broken in the future. New code might use the
commit-graph at a distance. To detect such cases introduce a
"GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_DIE_ON_LOAD" setting used when we do our
corruption tests, and test that a "write/verify" combo works after
every one of our current test cases where we now detect commit-graph
corruption.

Some of the code changes here might be strictly unnecessary, e.g. I
was unable to find cases where the parse_commit() called from
write_graph_chunk_data() didn't exit early due to
"item->object.parsed" being true in
repo_parse_commit_internal() (before the use_commit_graph=1 has any
effect). But let's also convert those cases for good measure, we do
not have exhaustive tests for all possible types of commit-graph
corruption.

This might need to be re-visited if we learn to write the commit-graph
incrementally, but probably not. Hopefully we'll just start by finding
out what commits we have in total, then read the old graph(s) to see
what they cover, and finally write a new graph file with everything
that's missing. In that case the new graph writing code just needs to
continue to use e.g. a parse_commit() that doesn't consult the
existing commit-graphs.

67a530fab3 commit-graph: don't pass filename to load_commit_graph_one_fd_st()
An earlier change implemented load_commit_graph_one_fd_st() in a way
that was bug-compatible with earlier code in terms of the "graph file
%s is too small" error message printing out the path to the
commit-graph (".git/objects/info/commit-graph").

But change that, because:

 * A function that takes an already-open file descriptor also needing
   the filename isn't very intuitive.

 * The vast majority of errors we might emit when loading the graph
   come from parse_commit_graph(), which doesn't report the
   filename. Let's not do that either in this case for consistency.

61df89c8e5 commit-graph: don't early exit(1) on e.g. "git status"
Make the commit-graph loading code work as a library that returns an
error code instead of calling exit(1) when the commit-graph is
corrupt. This means that e.g. "status" will now report commit-graph
corruption as an "error: [...]" at the top of its output, but then
proceed to work normally.

This required splitting up the load_commit_graph_one() function so
that the code that deals with open()-ing and stat()-ing the graph can
now be called independently as open_commit_graph().

This is needed because "commit-graph verify" where the graph doesn't
exist isn't an error. See the third paragraph in
283e68c72f ("commit-graph: add 'verify' subcommand",
2018-06-27). There's a bug in that logic where we conflate the
intended ENOENT with other errno values (e.g. EACCES), but this change
doesn't address that. That'll be addressed in a follow-up change.

I'm then splitting most of the logic out of load_commit_graph_one()
into load_commit_graph_one_fd_st(), which allows for providing an
existing file descriptor and stat information to the loading
code. This isn't strictly needed, but it would be redundant and
confusing to open() and stat() the file twice for some of the
codepaths, this allows for calling open_commit_graph() followed by
load_commit_graph_one_fd_st(). The "graph_file" still needs to be
passed to that function for the the "graph file %s is too small" error
message.

This leaves load_commit_graph_one() unused by everything except the
internal prepare_commit_graph_one() function, so let's mark it as
"static". If someone needs it in the future we can remove the "static"
attribute. I could also rewrite its sole remaining
user ("prepare_commit_graph_one()") to use
load_commit_graph_one_fd_st() instead, but let's leave it at this.

5af7417bd8 commit-graph: rename "large edges" to "extra edges"
The optional 'Large Edge List' chunk of the commit graph file stores
parent information for commits with more than two parents, and the
names of most of the macros, variables, struct fields, and functions
related to this chunk contain the term "large edges", e.g.
write_graph_chunk_large_edges().  However, it's not a really great
term, as the edges to the second and subsequent parents stored in this
chunk are not any larger than the edges to the first and second
parents stored in the "main" 'Commit Data' chunk.  It's the number of
edges, IOW number of parents, that is larger compared to non-merge and
"regular" two-parent merge commits.  And indeed, two functions in
'commit-graph.c' have a local variable called 'num_extra_edges' that
refer to the same thing, and this "extra edges" term is much better at
describing these edges.

So let's rename all these references to "large edges" in macro,
variable, function, etc. names to "extra edges".  There is a
GRAPH_OCTOPUS_EDGES_NEEDED macro as well; for the sake of consistency
rename it to GRAPH_EXTRA_EDGES_NEEDED.

We can do so safely without causing any incompatibility issues,
because the term "large edges" doesn't come up in the file format
itself in any form (the chunk's magic is {'E', 'D', 'G', 'E'}, there
is no 'L' in there), but only in the specification text.  The string
"large edges", however, does come up in the output of 'git
commit-graph read' and in tests looking at its input, but that command
is explicitly documented as debugging aid, so we can change its output
and the affected tests safely.

7b0f229222 commit-graph write: add progress output
Before this change the "commit-graph write" command didn't report any
progress. On my machine this command takes more than 10 seconds to
write the graph for linux.git, and around 1m30s on the
2015-04-03-1M-git.git[1] test repository (a test case for a large
monorepository).

Furthermore, since the gc.writeCommitGraph setting was added in
d5d5d7b641 ("gc: automatically write commit-graph files", 2018-06-27),
there was no indication at all from a "git gc" run that anything was
different. This why one of the progress bars being added here uses
start_progress() instead of start_delayed_progress(), so that it's
guaranteed to be seen. E.g. on my tiny 867 commit dotfiles.git
repository:

    $ git -c gc.writeCommitGraph=true gc
    Enumerating objects: 2821, done.
    [...]
    Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (867/867), done.

On larger repositories, such as linux.git the delayed progress bar(s)
will kick in, and we'll show what's going on instead of, as was
previously happening, printing nothing while we write the graph:

    $ git -c gc.writeCommitGraph=true gc
    [...]
    Annotating commits in commit graph: 1565573, done.
    Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (782484/782484), done.

Note that here we don't show "Finding commits for commit graph", this
is because under "git gc" we seed the search with the commit
references in the repository, and that set is too small to show any
progress, but would e.g. on a smaller repo such as git.git with
--stdin-commits:

    $ git rev-list --all | git -c gc.writeCommitGraph=true write --stdin-commits
    Finding commits for commit graph: 100% (162576/162576), done.
    Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (162576/162576), done.

With --stdin-packs we don't show any estimation of how much is left to
do. This is because we might be processing more than one pack. We
could be less lazy here and show progress, either by detecting that
we're only processing one pack, or by first looping over the packs to
discover how many commits they have. I don't see the point in doing
that work. So instead we get (on 2015-04-03-1M-git.git):

    $ echo pack-<HASH>.idx | git -c gc.writeCommitGraph=true --exec-path=$PWD commit-graph write --stdin-packs
    Finding commits for commit graph: 13064614, done.
    Annotating commits in commit graph: 3001341, done.
    Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (1000447/1000447), done.

No GC mode uses --stdin-packs. It's what they use at Microsoft to
manually compute the generation numbers for their collection of large
packs which are never coalesced.

The reason we need a "report_progress" variable passed down from "git
gc" is so that we don't report this output when we're running in the
process "git gc --auto" detaches from the terminal.

Since we write the commit graph from the "git gc" process itself (as
opposed to what we do with say the "git repack" phase), we'd end up
writing the output to .git/gc.log and reporting it to the user next
time as part of the "The last gc run reported the following[...]"
error, see 329e6e8794 ("gc: save log from daemonized gc --auto and
print it next time", 2015-09-19).

So we must keep track of whether or not we're running in that
demonized mode, and if so print no progress.

See [2] and subsequent replies for a discussion of an approach not
taken in compute_generation_numbers(). I.e. we're saying "Computing
commit graph generation numbers", even though on an established
history we're mostly skipping over all the work we did in the
past. This is similar to the white lie we tell in the "Writing
objects" phase (not all are objects being written).

Always showing progress is considered more important than
accuracy. I.e. on a repository like 2015-04-03-1M-git.git we'd hang
for 6 seconds with no output on the second "git gc" if no changes were
made to any objects in the interim if we'd take the approach in [2].

859fdc0c3c commit-graph: define GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH
The commit-graph feature is tested in isolation by
t5318-commit-graph.sh and t6600-test-reach.sh, but there are many
more interesting scenarios involving commit walks. Many of these
scenarios are covered by the existing test suite, but we need to
maintain coverage when the optional commit-graph structure is not
present.

To allow running the full test suite with the commit-graph present,
add a new test environment variable, GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Similar
to GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX, this variable makes every Git command try
to load the commit-graph when parsing commits, and writes the
commit-graph file after every 'git commit' command.

There are a few tests that rely on commits not existing in
pack-files to trigger important events, so manually set
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH to false for the necessary commands.

There is one test in t6024-recursive-merge.sh that relies on the
merge-base algorithm picking one of two ambiguous merge-bases, and
the commit-graph feature changes which merge-base is picked.

	git fetch --shallow-exclude one origin

with a file-based transfer. When the "remote" has a commit-graph, we do
not prevent the commit-graph from being loaded, but then the commits are
intended to be dynamically transferred into shallow commits during
get_shallow_commits_by_rev_list(). By closing the commit-graph before
this call, we prevent this interaction.

6cc017431c commit-reach: use can_all_from_reach
The is_descendant_of method previously used in_merge_bases() to check if
the commit can reach any of the commits in the provided list. This had
two performance problems:

1. The performance is quadratic in worst-case.

2. A single in_merge_bases() call requires walking beyond the target
   commit in order to find the full set of boundary commits that may be
   merge-bases.

The can_all_from_reach method avoids this quadratic behavior and can
limit the search beyond the target commits using generation numbers. It
requires a small prototype adjustment to stop using commit-date as a
cutoff, as that optimization is no longer appropriate here.

Since in_merge_bases() uses paint_down_to_common(), is_descendant_of()
naturally found cutoffs to avoid walking the entire commit graph. Since
we want to always return the correct result, we cannot use the
min_commit_date cutoff in can_all_from_reach. We then rely on generation
numbers to provide the cutoff.

Since not all repos will have a commit-graph file, nor will we always
have generation numbers computed for a commit-graph file, create a new
method, generation_numbers_enabled(), that checks for a commit-graph
file and sees if the first commit in the file has a non-zero generation
number. In the case that we do not have generation numbers, use the old
logic for is_descendant_of().

Performance was meausured on a copy of the Linux repository using the
'test-tool reach is_descendant_of' command using this input:

A:v4.9
X:v4.10
X:v4.11
X:v4.12
X:v4.13
X:v4.14
X:v4.15
X:v4.16
X:v4.17
X.v3.0

Note that this input is tailored to demonstrate the quadratic nature of
the previous method, as it will compute merge-bases for v4.9 versus all
of the later versions before checking against v4.1.

Before: 0.26 s
 After: 0.21 s

Since we previously used the is_descendant_of method in the ref_newer
method, we also measured performance there using
'test-tool reach ref_newer' with this input:

A:v4.9
B:v3.19

Before: 0.10 s
 After: 0.08 s

By adding a new commit with parent v3.19, we test the non-reachable case
of ref_newer:

Before: 0.09 s
 After: 0.08 s

dade47c06c commit-graph: add repo arg to graph readers
Add a struct repository argument to the functions in commit-graph.h that
read the commit graph. (This commit does not affect functions that write
commit graphs.)

Because the commit graph functions can now read the commit graph of any
repository, the global variable core_commit_graph has been removed.
Instead, the config option core.commitGraph is now read on the first
time in a repository that a commit is attempted to be parsed using its
commit graph.

This commit includes a test that exercises the functionality on an
arbitrary repository that is not the_repository.

59fb87701f commit-graph: add '--reachable' option
When writing commit-graph files, it can be convenient to ask for all
reachable commits (starting at the ref set) in the resulting file. This
is particularly helpful when writing to stdin is complicated, such as a
future integration with 'git gc'.

283e68c72f commit-graph: add 'verify' subcommand
If the commit-graph file becomes corrupt, we need a way to verify
that its contents match the object database. In the manner of
'git fsck' we will implement a 'git commit-graph verify' subcommand
to report all issues with the file.

Add the 'verify' subcommand to the 'commit-graph' builtin and its
documentation. The subcommand is currently a no-op except for
loading the commit-graph into memory, which may trigger run-time
errors that would be caught by normal use. Add a simple test that
ensures the command returns a zero error code.

If no commit-graph file exists, this is an acceptable state. Do
not report any errors.

e2838d85b6 commit-graph: always load commit-graph information
Most code paths load commits using lookup_commit() and then
parse_commit(). In some cases, including some branch lookups, the commit
is parsed using parse_object_buffer() which side-steps parse_commit() in
favor of parse_commit_buffer().

With generation numbers in the commit-graph, we need to ensure that any
commit that exists in the commit-graph file has its generation number
loaded.

Create new load_commit_graph_info() method to fill in the information
for a commit that exists only in the commit-graph file. Call it from
parse_commit_buffer() after loading the other commit information from
the given buffer. Only fill this information when specified by the
'check_graph' parameter.

7b8a21dba1 commit-graph: lazy-load trees for commits
The commit-graph file provides quick access to commit data, including
the OID of the root tree for each commit in the graph. When performing
a deep commit-graph walk, we may not need to load most of the trees
for these commits.

Delay loading the tree object for a commit loaded from the graph
until requested via get_commit_tree(). Do not lazy-load trees for
commits not in the graph, since that requires duplicate parsing
and the relative peformance improvement when trees are not needed
is small.

On the Linux repository, performance tests were run for the following
command:

    git log --graph --oneline -1000

    Before: 0.92s
    After:  0.66s
    Rel %: -28.3%

Adding '-- kernel/' to the command requires loading the root tree
for every commit that is walked. There was no measureable performance
change as a result of this patch.

3d5df01b5e commit-graph: build graph from starting commits
Teach git-commit-graph to read commits from stdin when the
--stdin-commits flag is specified. Commits reachable from these
commits are added to the graph. This is a much faster way to construct
the graph than inspecting all packed objects, but is restricted to
known tips.

For the Linux repository, 700,000+ commits were added to the graph
file starting from 'master' in 7-9 seconds, depending on the number
of packfiles in the repo (1, 24, or 120).

177722b344 commit: integrate commit graph with commit parsing
Teach Git to inspect a commit graph file to supply the contents of a
struct commit when calling parse_commit_gently(). This implementation
satisfies all post-conditions on the struct commit, including loading
parents, the root tree, and the commit date.

If core.commitGraph is false, then do not check graph files.

In test script t5318-commit-graph.sh, add output-matching conditions on
read-only graph operations.

By loading commits from the graph instead of parsing commit buffers, we
save a lot of time on long commit walks. Here are some performance
results for a copy of the Linux repository where 'master' has 678,653
reachable commits and is behind 'origin/master' by 59,929 commits.
