When making changes to different files (i.e. dirty working tree) and
committing logically separate changes in groups, often it is necessary
to run 'git diff --cached HEAD' to make sure that the changes being
committed makes sense. Saying 'git diff --cached' by mistake gives
rather uninformative error message from git-diff-files complaining it
does not understand --cached flag.

The call to parse_object() in process() is not actually needed - if
the object type is unknown, parse_object() will be called by loop();
if the type is known, the object will be parsed by the appropriate
process_*() function.
After this change blobs which exist locally are no longer parsed,
which gives about 2x CPU usage improvement; the downside is that there
will be no warnings for existing corrupted blobs, but detecting such
corruption is the job of git-fsck-objects, not the fetch programs.
Newly fetched objects are still checked for corruption in http-fetch.c
and ssh-fetch.c (local-fetch.c does not seem to do it, but the removed
parse_object() call would not be reached for new objects anyway).

It does not matter if we call prefetch() or set the TO_SCAN flag before

The TO_FETCH flag also became redundant after adding the SEEN flag -
it was set and checked in process() to prevent adding the same object

After adding the SEEN flag, the SCANNED flag became obviously
redundant - each object can get into process_queue through process()
only once, and therefore multiple calls to process_object() for the
same object are not possible.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The process() function is very often called multiple times for the
same object (because lots of trees refer to the same blobs), but did
not have a fast check for this, therefore a lot of useless calls to
has_sha1_file() and parse_object() were made before discovering that
nothing needs to be done.
This patch adds the SEEN flag which is used in process() to make it
look at each object only once. When testing git-local-fetch on the
repository of GIT, this gives a 14x improvement in CPU usage (mainly
because the redundant calls to parse_object() are now avoided -
parse_object() always unpacks and parses the object data, even if it
was already parsed before).

In all places where process() is called except the one in pull() (which
is executed only once) the pointer to the object is already available,
so pass it as the argument to process() instead of sha1 and avoid an
unneeded call to lookup_object_type().

Unlike write_sha1_file() that tries to create the object file in a
temporary location and then move it to the final location, fetch_object

get_sha1() would not do sha1 completion of short SHA1's when they were
part of a more complex expression. So doing

This fixes everybodys favourite complaint about "git add", namely that it
doesn't take directories.
We use "git-ls-files --others" to generate an arbitrary list of filenames,
and thus also automatically honor ignore-files while we're at it.
Side note: there's a lot of room for improvement here. In particular, if
we have a long list of filenames (importing a big archive), this will just
do a big stupid for-loop and add them one at a time. Maybe it should use
generate-list | xargs -0 git-update-idex --add --
instead.
Also, I think we should have a default ignore list if we don't find a
.git/info/exclude file. Ignoring "*.o" and ".*" by default would probably
be the right thing to do.
But I think this is a good first step.
Use the "-n" flag to just show the list of files to be added without
adding them.

in a file objects/info/http-alternates or
objects/info/alternates. Each line may be:
a relative path, starting with ../, to get from the objects directory
of the starting repository to the objects directory of the added
repository.
an absolute path of the objects directory of the added repository (on
the same server).
(only in http-alternates) a full URL of the objects directory of the
added repository.

The recent safety check to trust only the commits we have made
things impossibly slow and turn out to waste a lot of memory.
This commit fixes it with the following improvements:
- mark already scanned objects and avoid rescanning the same
object again;
- free the tree entries when we have scanned the tree entries;
this is the same as b0d8923ec0
which reduced memory usage by rev-list;
- plug memory leak from the object_list dequeuing code;
- use the process_queue not just for fetching but for scanning,
to make things tail recursive to avoid deep recursion; the
deep recursion was especially prominent when we cloned a big
pack.
- avoid has_sha1_file() call when we already know we do not have
that object.

As a convenience measure, 'bisect bad' or 'bisect good' automatically
does 'bisect next' when it knows it can, but the result of that test

For local operations and downloading and uploading via git aware protocols,
use of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates is recommended on the server
side for big projects that are derived from another one (like Linux kernel).
However, dumb protocols and rsync transport needs to resolve this on the
client end, which we did not bother doing until this week.
I noticed we use "rsync -z" but most of our payload is already compressed,
which was not quite right. This commit also fixes it.

The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that
object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it.
However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for
git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight.
So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to
disable it, and use it in git-rev-list.
Before:
$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l
12.28user 0.29system 0:12.57elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+26718minor)pagefaults 0swaps
59124
After this change:
$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l
10.33user 0.18system 0:10.54elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+18509minor)pagefaults 0swaps
59124
and note how the number of pages touched by git-rev-list for this
particular object list has shrunk from 26,718 (104 MB) to 18,509 (72 MB).
Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still
clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time),
but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.

This avoids keeping tree entries around, and free's them as it traverses
the list. This avoids building up a huge memory footprint just for these
small but very common allocations.

$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l
11.65user 0.38system 0:12.65elapsed 95%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

0inputs+0outputs (0major+26718minor)pagefaults 0swaps
59124
Note how the minor fault numbers - which ends up being how many pages we
needed to map - go down from 42934 (167 MB) to 26718 (104 MB). That is:
Before:
42934 minor pagefaults
After:
26718 minor pagefaults
This is all in _addition_ to the previous fixes. It used to be
~48,000 pagefaults.
That's still a honking big memory footprint, but it's about half of what
it was just a day or two ago (and this is the object list for a pretty big
update - almost 60,000 objects. Smaller updates need less memory).
