This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order
which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt.
The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense
to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that
the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of
discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of
commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent
relationship.
With this patch a graph like this:
a4 ---
| \ \
| b4 |
|/ | |
a3 | |
| | |
a2 | |
| | c3
| | |
| | c2
| b3 |
| | /|
| b2 |
| | c1
| | /
| b1
a1 |
| |
a0 |
| /
root
Sorts like this:
= a4
| c3
| c2
| c1
^ b4
| b3
| b2
| b1
^ a3
| a2
| a1
| a0
= root
Instead of this:
= a4
| c3
^ b4
| a3
^ c2
^ b3
^ a2
^ b2
^ c1
^ a1
^ b1
^ a0
= root
A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates
that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities
than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order
flag specified. To see this, do the following:
cd t
./t6000-rev-list.sh
cd trash
cat actual-default-order
cat actual-merge-order
The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain
the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks
on the command line.
This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6
repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm.
This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting
algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated
with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8d.
This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c.
(see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c)
This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.

and http://blackcubes.dyndns.org/epoch/.
