t6423: rename file within directory that other side renamed
When there are many renames between the old base of a series of commits
and the new base, the way sequencer.c, merge-recursive.c, and
diffcore-rename.c have traditionally split the work resulted in
redetecting the same renames with each and every commit being
transplanted. To address this, the last several commits have been
creating a cache of rename detection results, determining when it was
safe to use such a cache in subsequent merge operations, adding helper
functions, and so on. See the previous half dozen commit messages for
additional discussion of this optimization, particularly the message a
few commits ago entitled "add code to check for whether cached renames
can be reused". This commit finally ties all of that work together,
modifying the merge algorithm to make use of these cached renames.
For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin
performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28),
this change improves the performance as follows:
Before After
no-renames: 5.665 s ± 0.129 s 5.622 s ± 0.059 s
mega-renames: 11.435 s ± 0.158 s 10.127 s ± 0.073 s
just-one-mega: 494.2 ms ± 6.1 ms 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms
That's a fairly small improvement, but mostly because the previous
optimizations were so effective for these particular testcases; this
optimization only kicks in when the others don't. If we undid the
basename-guided rename detection and skip-irrelevant-renames
optimizations, then we'd see that this series by itself improved
performance as follows:
Before Basename Series After Just This Series
no-renames: 13.815 s ± 0.062 s 5.697 s ± 0.080 s
mega-renames: 1799.937 s ± 0.493 s 205.709 s ± 0.457 s
Since this optimization kicks in to help accelerate cases where the
previous optimizations do not apply, this last comparison shows that
this cached-renames optimization has the potential to help signficantly
in cases that don't meet the requirements for the other optimizations to
be effective.
The changes made in this optimization also lay some important groundwork
for a future optimization around having collect_merge_info() avoid
recursing into subtrees in more cases.
However, for this optimization to be effective, merge_switch_to_result()
should only be called when the rebase or cherry-pick operation has
either completed or hit a case where the user needs to resolve a
conflict or edit the result. If it is called after every commit, as
sequencer.c does, then the working tree and index are needlessly updated
with every commit and the cached metadata is tossed, defeating this
optimization. Refactoring sequencer.c to only call
merge_switch_to_result() at the end of the operation is a bigger
undertaking, and the practical benefits of this optimization will not be
realized until that work is performed. Since `test-tool fast-rebase`
only updates at the end of the operation, it was used to obtain the
timings above.

As documented in Documentation/technical/remembering-renames.txt, and as
tested for in the two testcases in t6429 with "rename same file
identically" in their description, there is one case where we need to
have renames in one commit NOT be cached for the next commit in our
rebase sequence -- namely, rename/rename(1to1) cases. Rather than
specifically trying to uncache those and fix up dir_rename_counts() to
match (which would also be valid but more work), we simply disable the
optimization when this really rare type of rename occurs.

If we have a usable rename cache, then we can remove from
relevant_sources all the paths that were cached;
diffcore_rename_extended() can then consider an even smaller set of
relevant_sources in its rename detection.
However, when diffcore_rename_extended() is done, we will need to take
the renames it detected and then add back in all the ones we had cached
from before.
Add helper functions for doing these two operations; the next commit
will make use of them.

Previous commits created an in-memory cache of the results of rename
detection, and added logic to detect when that cache could appropriately
be used in a subsequent merge operation -- but we were still
unconditionally clearing the cache with each new merge operation anyway.
If it is valid to reuse the cache from one of the two sides of history,
preserve that side.

Previously, callers of the merge-ort API could have passed an
uninitialized value for struct merge_result *result. However, we want
to check result to see if it has cached renames from a previous merge
that we can reuse; such values would be found behind result->priv.
However, if result->priv is uninitialized, attempting to access behind
it will give a segfault. So, we need result->priv to be NULL (which
will be the case if the caller does a memset(&result, 0)), or be written
by a previous call to the merge-ort machinery. Documenting this
requirement may help, but despite being the person who introduced this
requirement, I still missed it once and it did not fail in a very clear
way and led to a long debugging session.
Add a _properly_initialized field to merge_result; that value will be
0 if the caller zero'ed the merge_result, it will be set to a very
specific value by a previous run by the merge-ort machinery, and if it's
uninitialized it will most likely either be 0 or some value that does
not match the specific one we'd expect allowing us to throw a much more
meaningful error.

We need to know when renames detected in a previous merge operation can
be reused in a later merge operation. Consider the following setup
(from the git-rebase manpage):
A---B---C topic
/
D---E---F---G master
After rebasing, this will appear as:
A'--B'--C' topic
/
D---E---F---G master
Further, let's say that 'oldfile' was renamed to 'newfile' between E
and G. The rebase or cherry-pick of A onto G will involve a three-way
merge between E (as the merge base) and G and A. After detecting the
rename between E:oldfile and G:newfile, there will be a three-way
content merge of the following:
E:oldfile
G:newfile
A:oldfile
and produce a new result:
A':newfile
Now, when we want to pick B onto A', we will need to do a three-way
merge between A (as the merge-base) and A' and B. This will involve
a three-way content merge of
A:oldfile
A':newfile
B:oldfile
but only if we can detect that A:oldfile is similar enough to A':newfile
to be used together in a three-way content merge, i.e. only if we can
detect that A:oldfile and A':newfile are a rename. But we already know
that A:oldfile and A':newfile are similar enough to be used in a
three-way content merge, because that is precisely where A':newfile came
from in the previous merge.
Note that A & A' both appear in both merges. That gives us the
condition under which we can reuse renames.
There are a couple important points about this optimization:
- If the rebase or cherry-pick halts for user conflicts, these caches
are NOT saved anywhere. Thus, resuming a halted rebase or
cherry-pick will result in no reused renames for the next commit.
This is intentional, as user resolution can change files
significantly and in ways that violate the similarity assumptions
here.
- Technically, in a *very* narrow case this might give slightly
different results for rename detection. Using the example above,
if:
* E:oldfile had 20 lines
* G:newfile added 10 new lines at the beginning of the file
* A:oldfile deleted all but the first three lines of the file
then
=> A':newfile would have 13 lines, 3 of which matches those
in A:oldfile.
Consider the two cases:
* Without this optimization:
- the next step of the rebase operation (moving B to B')
would not detect the rename betwen A:oldfile and A':newfile
- we'd thus get a modify/delete conflict with the rebase
operation halting for the user to resolve, and have both
A':newfile and B:oldfile sitting in the working tree.
* With this optimization:
- the rename between A:oldfile and A':newfile would be detected
via the cache of renames
- a three-way merge between A:oldfile, A':newfile, and B:oldfile
would commence and be written to A':newfile
Now, is the difference in behavior a bug...or a bugfix? I can't
tell. Given that A:oldfile and A':newfile are not very similar,
when we three-way merge with B:oldfile it seems likely we'll hit a
conflict for the user to resolve. And it shouldn't be too hard for
users to see why we did that three-way merge; oldfile and newfile
*were* renames somewhere in the sequence. So, most of these corner
cases will still behave similarly -- namely, a conflict given to the
user to resolve. Also, consider the interesting case when commit B
is a clean revert of commit A. Without this optimization, a rebase
could not both apply a weird patch like A and then immediately
revert it; users would be forced to resolve merge conflicts. With
this optimization, it would successfully apply the clean revert.
So, there is certainly at least one case that behaves better. Even
if it's considered a "difference in behavior", I think both behaviors
are reasonable, and the time savings provided by this optimization
justify using the slightly altered rename heuristics.

When there are many renames between the old base of a series of commits

employed to transplant those commits (from a cherry-pick or rebase
operation) will repeatedly detect the exact same renames. This is
wasted effort.
Add data structures which will be used to cache rename detection

Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.
Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

NULL, and we shouldn't be trying to perform pointer arithmetic with it (as
that results in undefined behaviour).
Moreover we only use the results of this calculation once when calling

QSORT directly with our manipulated pointers (but only if there's data
requiring sorting). This lets us avoid abusing the string_list API,
and saves us from having to explain why this abuse is OK.

* What changes are staged?
* What is still unstaged? (or what is still conflicted?)
* What changes did I make to resolve conflicts so far?
The first three of these have simple answers:
* git diff HEAD

* git diff
There was no way to answer the final question previously. Adding one

merge-specific (much like MERGE_HEAD, REBASE_HEAD, REVERT_HEAD,
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD) and I wanted a name that didn't change depending on
which type of operation the merge was part of.

ll_merge() needs an index when renormalization is requested. Create one

NOTE 1: Even if the user has a working copy or a real index (which is
not a given as merge-ort can be used in bare repositories), we
explicitly ignore any .gitattributes file from either of these
locations. merge-ort can be used to merge two branches that are
unrelated to HEAD, so .gitattributes from the working copy and current
index should not be considered relevant.
NOTE 2: Since we are in the middle of merging, there is a risk that
.gitattributes itself is conflicted...leaving us with an ill-defined
situation about how to perform the rest of the merge. It could be that
the .gitattributes file does not even exist on one of the sides of the
merge, or that it has been modified on both sides. If it's been
modified on both sides, it's possible that it could itself be merged
cleanly, though it's also possible that it only merges cleanly if you
use the right version of the .gitattributes file to drive the merge. It
gets kind of complicated. The only test we ever had that attempted to
test behavior in this area was seemingly unaware of the undefined
behavior, but knew the test wouldn't work for lack of attribute handling
support, marked it as test_expect_failure from the beginning, but
managed to fail for several reasons unrelated to attribute handling.
See commit 6f6e7cfb52 ("t6038: remove problematic test", 2020-08-03) for
details. So there are probably various ways to improve what
initialize_attr_index() picks in the case of a conflicted .gitattributes

true if the sort used is stable. This was found due to the fact that

Note that this change means dir_rename_count might have a directory

from a strset to a strintmap, so we can encode additional information.
We also modify dirs_removed from a strset to a strintmap at the same
time because trying to determine what files are needed for directory
rename detection will require us tracking a bit more information for
each directory.
This commit only changes the types of the two variables from strset to
strintmap; it does not actually store any special values yet and for now
only checks for presence of entries in the strintmap. Thus, the code is
functionally identical to how it behaved before. Future commits will
start associating values with each key for these two maps.

diffcore_rename_extended() will do a bunch of setup, then check for
exact renames, then abort before inexact rename detection if there are
no more sources or destinations that need to be matched. It will
sometimes be the case, however, that either
* we start with neither any sources or destinations
* we start with no *relevant* sources
In the first of these two cases, the setup and exact rename detection
will be very cheap since there are 0 files to operate on. In the second
case, it is quite possible to have thousands of files with none of the
source ones being relevant. Avoid calling diffcore_rename_extended() or
even some of the setup before diffcore_rename_extended() when we can
determine that rename detection is unnecessary.

The point of directory rename detection is that if one side of history
renames a directory, and the other side adds new files under the old
directory, then the merge can move those new files into the new
directory. This leads to the following important observation:
* If the other side does not add any new files under the old
directory, we do not need to detect any renames for that directory.
Similarly, directory rename detection had an important requirement:
* If a directory still exists on one side of history, it has not been
renamed on that side of history. (See section 4 of t6423 or
Documentation/technical/directory-rename-detection.txt for more
details).
Using these two bits of information, we note that directory rename
detection is only needed in cases where (1) directories exist in the
merge base and on one side of history (i.e. dirmask == 3 or dirmask ==
5), and (2) where there is some new file added to that directory on the
side where it still exists (thus where the file has filemask == 2 or
filemask == 4, respectively). This has to be done in two steps, because
we have the dirmask when we are first considering the directory, and
won't get the filemasks for the files within it until we recurse into
that directory. So, we save
dir_rename_mask = dirmask - 1
when we hit a directory that is missing on one side, and then later look
for cases of
filemask == dir_rename_mask
One final note is that as soon as we hit a directory that needs
directory rename detection, we will need to detect renames in all
subdirectories of that directory as well due to the "majority rules"
decision when files are renamed into different directory hierarchies.
We arbitrarily use the special value of 0x07 to record when we've hit
such a directory.
The combination of all the above mean that we introduce a variable
named dir_rename_mask (couldn't think of a better name) which has one
of the following values as we traverse into a directory:
* 0x00: directory rename detection not needed
* 0x02 or 0x04: directory rename detection only needed if files added
* 0x07: directory rename detection definitely needed
We then pass this value through to add_pairs() so that it can mark
location_relevant as true only when dir_rename_mask is 0x07.

Add traverse_trees_wrapper() and traverse_trees_wrapper_callback()
functions. The former runs traverse_trees() with info->fn set to
traverse_trees_wrapper_callback, in order to simply save all the entries
without processing or recursing into any of them. This step allows
extra computation to be done (e.g. checking some condition across all
files) that can be used later. Then, after that is completed, it
iterates over all the saved entries and calls the original info->fn
callback with the saved data.
Currently, this does nothing more than marginally slowing down the tree
traversal since we do not take advantage of the opportunity to compute
anything special in traverse_trees_wrapper_callback(), and thus the real
callback will be called identically as it would have been without this
extra wrapper. However, a subsequent commit will add some special
computation of some values that the real callback will be able to use.

rename detection works by trying to pair all file deletions (or
"sources") with all file additions (or "destinations"), checking
similarity, and then marking the sufficiently similar ones as renames.
This can be expensive if there are many sources and destinations on a
given side of history as it results in an N x M comparison matrix.
However, there are many cases where we can compute in advance that
detecting renames for some of the sources provides no useful information
and thus that we can exclude those sources from the matrix.
To see why, first note that the merge machinery uses detected renames in
two ways:
* directory rename detection: when one side of history renames a
directory, and the other side of history adds new files to that
directory, we want to be able to warn the user about the need to
chose whether those new files stay in the old directory or move
to the new one.
* three-way content merging: in order to do three-way content merging
of files, we need three different file versions. If one side of
history renamed a file, then some of the content for the file is
found under a different path than in the merge base or on the
other side of history.
Add a simple testcase showing the two kinds of reasons renames are
relevant; it's a testcase that will only pass if we detect both kinds of
needed renames.
Other than the testcase added above, this commit concentrates just on
the three-way content merging; it will punt and mark all sources as
needed for directory rename detection, and leave it to future commits to
narrow that down more.
The point of three-way content merging is to reconcile changes made on
*both* sides of history. What if the file wasn't modified on both
sides? There are two possibilities:
* If it wasn't modified on the renamed side:
-> then we get to do exact rename detection, which is cheap.
* If it wasn't modified on the unrenamed side:
-> then detection of a rename for that source file is irrelevant
That latter claim might be surprising at first, so let's walk through a
case to show why rename detection for that source file is irrelevant.
Let's use two filenames, old.c & new.c, with the following abbreviated
object ids (and where the value '000000' is used to denote that the file
is missing in that commit):
old.c new.c
MERGE_BASE: 01d01d 000000
MERGE_SIDE1: 01d01d 000000
MERGE_SIDE2: 000000 5e1ec7
If the rename *isn't* detected:
then old.c looks like it was unmodified on one side and deleted on
the other and should thus be removed. new.c looks like a new file we
should keep as-is.
If the rename *is* detected:
then a three-way content merge is done. Since the version of the
file in MERGE_BASE and MERGE_SIDE1 are identical, the three-way merge
will produce exactly the version of the file whose abbreviated
object id is 5e1ec7. It will record that file at the path new.c,
while removing old.c from the directory.
Note that these two results are identical -- a single file named 'new.c'
with object id 5e1ec7. In other words, it doesn't matter if the rename
is detected in the case where the file is unmodified on the unrenamed
side.
Use this information to compute whether we need rename detection for
each source created in add_pair().
It's probably worth noting that there used to be a few other edge or
corner cases besides three-way content merges and directory rename
detection where lack of rename detection could have affected the result,
but those cases actually highlighted where conflict resolution methods
were not consistent with each other. Fixing those inconsistencies were
thus critically important to enabling this optimization. That work
involved the following:
* bringing consistency to add/add, rename/add, and rename/rename
conflict types, as done back in the topic merged at commit
ac193e0e0a ("Merge branch 'en/merge-path-collision'", 2019-01-04),
and further extended in commits 2a7c16c980 ("t6422, t6426: be more
flexible for add/add conflicts involving renames", 2020-08-10) and
e8eb99d4a6 ("t642[23]: be more flexible for add/add conflicts
involving pair renames", 2020-08-10)
* making rename/delete more consistent with modify/delete
as done in commits 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with
rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) and 727c75b23f
("t6404, t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort
backend", 2020-10-26)
Since the set of relevant_sources we compute has not yet been narrowed
down for directory rename detection, we do not pass it to
diffcore_rename_extended() yet. That will be done after subsequent
commits narrow down the list of relevant_sources needed for directory
rename detection reasons.

Add the ability to diffcore_rename_extended() to allow external callers
to declare that they only need renames detected for a subset of source
files, and use that information to skip detecting renames for them.
There are two important pieces to this optimization that may not be
obvious at first glance:
* We do not require callers to just filter the filepairs out
to remove the non-relevant sources, because exact rename detection
is fast and when it finds a match it can remove both a source and a
destination whereas the relevant_sources filter can only remove a
source.
* We need to filter out the source pairs in a preliminary pass instead
of adding a
strset_contains(relevant_sources, one->path)
check within the nested matrix loop. The reason for that is if we
have 30k renames, doing 30k * 30k = 900M strset_contains() calls
becomes extraordinarily expensive and defeats the performance gains
from this change; we only want to do 30k such calls instead.
If callers pass NULL for relevant_sources, that is special cases to
treat all sources as relevant. Since all callers currently pass NULL,
this optimization does not yet have any effect. Subsequent commits will
have merge-ort compute a set of relevant_sources to restrict which
sources we detect renames for, and have merge-ort pass that set of
relevant_sources to diffcore_rename_extended().
A note about filtering order:
Some may be curious why we don't filter out irrelevant sources at the
same time we filter out exact renames. While that technically could be
done at this point, there are two reasons to defer it:
First, was to reinforce a lesson that was too easy to forget. As I
mentioned above, in the past I filtered irrelevant sources out before
exact rename checking, and then discovered that exact renames' ability
to remove both sources and destinations was an important consideration
and thus doing the filtering after exact rename checking would speed
things up. Then at some point I realized that basename matching could
also remove both sources and destinations, and decided to put irrelevant
source filtering after basename filtering. That slowed things down a
lot. But, despite learning about this important ordering, in later
restructuring I forgot and made the same mistake of putting the
filtering after basename guided rename detection again. So, I have this
series of patches structured to do the irrelevant filtering last to
start to show how much extra it costs, and then add relevant filtering
in to find_basename_matches() to show how much it speeds things up.
Basically, it's a way to reinforce something that apparently was too
easy to forget, and make sure the commit messages record this lesson.
Second, the items in the "relevant_sources" in this patch series will
include all sources that *might be* relevant. It has to be conservative
and catch anything that might need a rename, but in the patch series
after this one we'll find ways to weed out more of the *might be*
relevant ones. Unfortunately, merge-ort does not have sufficient
information to weed those ones out, and there isn't enough information
at the time of filtering exact renames out to remove the extra ones
either. It has to be deferred. So the deferral is in part to simplify
some later additions.

We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some
variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through
diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to
gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking
the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have
diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may
be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in
collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal),
that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all
these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then
call diffcore_rename() directly.
This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the
advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the
cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree
traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in
collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway. However...

Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename;
I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several
future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some
select testcases.
=== Setup ===
The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the
linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I
added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another
where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is
as follows:
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
$ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e
$ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34
$ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e
$ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4
$ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames
$ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/"
$ git config merge.renameLimit 30000
$ git config merge.directoryRenames true
=== Testcases ===
Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using
merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the
testcases are:
Testcase #1: no-renames
$ git checkout v5.4^0
$ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates
Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but
very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time.
Testcase #2: mega-renames
$ git checkout 5.4-renames^0
$ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates
Testcase #3: just-one-mega
$ git checkout 5.4-renames^0
$ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one
=== Timing results ===
Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames,
10 runs for the other two cases):
merge-recursive merge-ort
no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s
mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s
just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s
A single re-run of each with some breakdowns:
--- no-renames ---
merge-recursive merge-ort
overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s
inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s
everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s
--- mega-renames ---
merge-recursive merge-ort
overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s
inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s
everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s
--- just-one-mega ---
merge-recursive merge-ort
overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s
inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s
everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s
=== Timing observations ===
0) Maximum speedup
The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could
achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename
detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so
much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no
renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on
rename detection can be.
1) no-renames
1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However,
this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge"
backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply"
backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even
merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in
6.940 s ± 0.485 s
which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than
merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to
make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases.
2) mega-renames
2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time
is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely
parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would
drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I
think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance
improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already.
3) just-one-mega
3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing
only one patch compares to rebasing 35.
=== Goals ===
This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals
that this measurement will help us achieve:
* Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges
* After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness
factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename
detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize.
* Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection
is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

get_provisional_directory_renames() has code to detect directories being
evenly split between different locations. However, as noted previously,
if there are no new files added to that directory that was split evenly,
our inability to determine where the directory was renamed to doesn't
matter since there are no new files to try to move into the new
location. Unfortunately, that code is unaware of whether there are new
files under the directory in question and we just ignore that, causing
us to fail t6423 test 2b but pass test 2a; turn off the error for now,
swapping which tests pass and fail.
The motivating reason for switching this off as a temporary measure is
that as we add optimizations, we'll start looking at only subsets of
renames, and subsets of renames can start switching the result we get
when this error is (wrongly) on. Once we get enough optimizations,
however, we can prevent that code from even running when there are no
new files added to the relevant directory, at which point we can revert
this commit and then both testcases 2a and 2b will pass simultaneously.

When a series of merges was performed (such as for a rebase or series of

operation were being freed. The problem was that while picking out
pieces of merge-ort to upstream, I previously misread a certain section
of merge_start() and assumed it was associated with a later
optimization. Include that section now, which ensures that if there was

As noted in commit 902c521a35 ("t6423: more involved directory rename
test", 2020-10-15), when we have a case where
* dir/subdir/ has several files
* almost all files in dir/subdir/ are renamed to folder/subdir/
* one of the files in dir/subdir/ is renamed to folder/subdir/newsubdir/
* the other side of history (that doesn't do the renames) adds a
new file to dir/subdir/
Then for the majority of the file renames, the directory rename of
dir/subdir/ -> folder/subdir/
is actually not represented that way but as
dir/ -> folder/
We also had one rename that was represented as
dir/subdir/ -> folder/subdir/newsubdir/
Now, since there's a new file in dir/subdir/, where does it go? Well,
there's only one rule for dir/subdir/, so the code previously noted that
this rule had the "majority" of the one "relevant" rename and thus
erroneously used it to place the file in folder/subdir/newsubdir/. We
really want the heavy weight associated with dir/ -> folder/ to also be
treated as dir/subdir/ -> folder/subdir/, so that we correctly place the
file in folder/subdir/.
Add a bunch of logic to make sure that we use all relevant renamings in
directory rename detection.

further than merge-recursive does. There are some performance related

This function roughly follows the same outline as the function of the
same name from merge-recursive.c, but the code diverges in multiple
ways due to some special considerations:
* merge-ort's version needs to update opt->priv->paths with any new
paths (and opt->priv->paths points to struct conflict_infos which
track quite a bit of metadata for each path); merge-recursive's
version would directly update the index
* merge-ort requires that opt->priv->paths has any leading directories
of any relevant files also be included in the set of paths. And
due to pointer equality requirements on merged_info.directory_name,
we have to be careful how we compute and insert these.
* due to the above requirements on opt->priv->paths, merge-ort's
version starts with a long comment to explain all the special
considerations that need to be handled
* merge-ort can use the full data stored in opt->priv->paths to avoid
making expensive get_tree_entry() calls to regather the necessary
data.
* due to messages being deferred automatically in merge-ort, this is
the best place to handle conflict messages whereas in
