Derrick Stolee fbc21e3fbb commit-reach: use one walk in remove_redundant()
The current implementation of remove_redundant() uses several calls to
paint_down_to_common() to determine that commits are independent of each
other. This leads to quadratic behavior when many inputs are passed to
commands such as 'git merge-base'.

For example, in the Linux kernel repository, I tested the performance
by passing all tags:

 git merge-base --independent $(git for-each-ref refs/tags --format="$(refname)")

(Note: I had to delete the tags v2.6.11-tree and v2.6.11 as they do
not point to commits.)

Here is the performance improvement introduced by this change:

 Before: 16.4s
  After:  1.1s

This performance improvement requires the commit-graph file to be
present. We keep the old algorithm around as remove_redundant_no_gen()
and use it when generation_numbers_enabled() is false. This is similar
to other algorithms within commit-reach.c. The new algorithm is
implemented in remove_redundant_with_gen().

The basic approach is to do one commit walk instead of many. First, scan
all commits in the list and mark their _parents_ with the STALE flag.
This flag will indicate commits that are reachable from one of the
inputs, except not including themselves. Then, walk commits until
covering all commits up to the minimum generation number pushing the
STALE flag throughout.

At the end, we need to clear the STALE bit from all of the commits
we walked. We move the non-stale commits in 'array' to the beginning of
the list, and this might overwrite stale commits. However, we store an
array of commits that started the walk, and use clear_commit_marks() on
each of those starting commits. That method will walk the reachable
commits with the STALE bit and clear them all. This makes the algorithm
safe for re-entry or for other uses of those commits after this walk.

This logic is covered by tests in t6600-test-reach.sh, so the behavior
does not change. This is tested both in the case with a commit-graph and
without.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

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.

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

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.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).

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 https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

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.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (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
