Jeff King 8b8dfd5132 pack-revindex: radix-sort the revindex
The pack revindex stores the offsets of the objects in the
pack in sorted order, allowing us to easily find the on-disk
size of each object. To compute it, we populate an array
with the offsets from the sha1-sorted idx file, and then use
qsort to order it by offsets.

That does O(n log n) offset comparisons, and profiling shows
that we spend most of our time in cmp_offset. However, since
we are sorting on a simple off_t, we can use numeric sorts
that perform better. A radix sort can run in O(k*n), where k
is the number of "digits" in our number. For a 64-bit off_t,
using 16-bit "digits" gives us k=4.

On the linux.git repo, with about 3M objects to sort, this
yields a 400% speedup. Here are the best-of-five numbers for
running

  echo HEAD | git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)

on a fully packed repository, which is dominated by time
spent building the pack revindex:

          before     after
  real    0m0.834s   0m0.204s
  user    0m0.788s   0m0.164s
  sys     0m0.040s   0m0.036s

This matches our algorithmic expectations. log(3M) is ~21.5,
so a traditional sort is ~21.5n. Our radix sort runs in k*n,
where k is the number of radix digits. In the worst case,
this is k=4 for a 64-bit off_t, but we can quit early when
the largest value to be sorted is smaller. For any
repository under 4G, k=2. Our algorithm makes two passes
over the list per radix digit, so we end up with 4n. That
should yield ~5.3x speedup. We see 4x here; the difference
is probably due to the extra bucket book-keeping the radix
sort has to do.

On a smaller repo, the difference is less impressive, as
log(n) is smaller. For git.git, with 173K objects (but still
k=2), we see a 2.7x improvement:

          before     after
  real    0m0.046s   0m0.017s
  user    0m0.036s   0m0.012s
  sys     0m0.008s   0m0.000s

On even tinier repos (e.g., a few hundred objects), the
speedup goes away entirely, as the small advantage of the
radix sort gets erased by the book-keeping costs (and at
those sizes, the cost to generate the the rev-index gets
lost in the noise anyway).

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
