If `add` encounters an error while applying the --chmod changes, it
prints a message to stderr, but exits with a success code. This might
have been an oversight, as the command does exit with a non-zero code in
other situations where it cannot (or refuses to) update all of the
requested paths (e.g. when some of the given paths are ignored). So make
the exit behavior more consistent by also propagating --chmod errors to
the exit status.
Note: the test "all statuses changed in folder if . is given" uses paths
added by previous test cases, some of which might be symbolic links.
Because `git add --chmod` will now fail with such paths, this test would
depend on whether all the previous tests were executed, or only some
of them. Avoid that by running the test on a fresh repo with only
regular files.

The periodic maintenance tasks configured by `git maintenance start`
invoke `git for-each-repo` to run `git maintenance run` on each path
specified by the multi-value global configuration variable
`maintenance.repo`. Because `git for-each-repo` will likely be run
outside of the repositories which require periodic maintenance, it is
mandatory that the repository paths specified by `maintenance.repo` are
absolute.
Unfortunately, however, `git maintenance register` does nothing to
ensure that the paths it assigns to `maintenance.repo` are indeed
absolute, and may in fact -- especially in the case of a bare repository
-- assign a relative path to `maintenance.repo` instead. Fix this
problem by converting all paths to absolute before assigning them to
`maintenance.repo`.
While at it, also fix `git maintenance unregister` to convert paths to
absolute, as well, in order to ensure that it can correctly remove from
`maintenance.repo` a path assigned via `git maintenance register`.

The remove_redundant_with_gen() algorithm performs a depth-first-search
to find commits in the 'array' list, starting at the parents of each
commit in 'array'. The result is that commits in 'array' are marked
STALE when they are reachable from another commit in 'array'.
This depth-first-search is fast when commits lie on or near the
first-parent history of the higher commits. The search terminates early
if all but one commit becomes marked STALE.
However, it is possible that there are two independent commits with high
generation number. In that case, the depth-first-search might languish
by searching in lower generations due to the fixed min_generation used
throughout the method.
With the expectation that commits with lower generation are expected to
become STALE more often, we can optimize further by increasing that
min_generation boundary upon discovery of the commit with minimum
generation.
We must first sort the commits in 'array' by generation. We cannot sort
'array' itself since it must preserve relative order among the returned
results (see revision.c:mark_redundant_parents() for an example).
This simplifies the initialization of min_generation, but it also allows
us to increase the new min_generation when we find the commit with
smallest generation remaining.
This requires more than two commits in order to test, so I used the
Linux kernel repository with a few commits that are slightly off of the
first-parent history. I timed the following command:
git merge-base --independent 2ecedd756908 d2360a398f0b \
1253935ad801 160bab43419e 0e2209629fec 1d0e16ac1a9e
The first two commits have similar generation and are near the v5.10
tag. Commit 160bab43419e is off of the first-parent history behind v5.5,
while the others are scattered somewhere reachable from v5.9. This is
designed to demonstrate the optimization, as that commit within v5.5
would normally cause a lot of extra commit walking.
Since remove_redundant_with_alg() is called only when at least one of
the input commits has a finite generation number, this algorithm is
tested with a commit-graph generated starting at a number of different
tags, the earliest being v5.5.
commit-graph at v5.5:
| Method | Time |
|-----------------------+-------|
| *_no_gen() | 864ms |
| *_with_gen() (before) | 858ms |
| *_with_gen() (after) | 810ms |
commit-graph at v5.7:
| Method | Time |
|-----------------------+-------|
| *_no_gen() | 625ms |
| *_with_gen() (before) | 572ms |
| *_with_gen() (after) | 517ms |
commit-graph at v5.9:
| Method | Time |
|-----------------------+-------|
| *_no_gen() | 268ms |
| *_with_gen() (before) | 224ms |
| *_with_gen() (after) | 202ms |
commit-graph at v5.10:
| Method | Time |
|-----------------------+-------|
| *_no_gen() | 72ms |
| *_with_gen() (before) | 37ms |
| *_with_gen() (after) | 9ms |
Note that these are only modest improvements for the case where the two
independent commits are not in the commit-graph (not until v5.10). All
algorithms get faster as more commits are indexed, which is not a
surprise. However, the cost of walking extra commits is more and more
prevalent in relative terms as more commits are indexed. Finally, the
last case allows us to jump to the minimum generation between the last
two commits (that are actually independent) so we greatly reduce the
cost in that case.

Reachability algorithms in commit-reach.c frequently benefit from using
the first-parent history as a heuristic for satisfying reachability
queries. The most obvious example was implemented in 4fbcca4e
(commit-reach: make can_all_from_reach... linear, 2018-07-20).
Update the walk in remove_redundant() to use this same heuristic. Here,
we are walking starting at the parents of the input commits. Sort those
parents and walk from the highest generation to lower. Each time, use
the heuristic of searching the first parent history before continuing to
expand the walk.
The order in which we explore the commits matters, so update
compare_commits_by_gen to break generation number ties with commit date.
This has no effect when the commits are in a commit-graph file with
corrected commit dates computed, but it will assist when the commits are
in the region "above" the commit-graph with "infinite" generation
number. Note that we cannot shift to use
compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date as the method prototype is
different. We use compare_commits_by_gen for QSORT() as opposed to as a
priority function.
The important piece is to ensure we short-circuit the walk when we find
that there is a single non-redundant commit. This happens frequently
when looking for merge-bases or comparing several tags with 'git
merge-base --independent'. Use a new count 'count_still_independent' and
if that hits 1 we can stop walking.
To update 'count_still_independent' properly, we add use of the RESULT
flag on the input commits. Then we can detect when we reach one of these
commits and decrease the count. We need to remove the RESULT flag at
that moment because we might re-visit that commit when popping the
stack.
We use the STALE flag to mark parents that have been added to the new
walk_start list, but we need to clear that flag before we start walking
so those flags don't halt our depth-first-search walk.
On my copy of the Linux kernel repository, the performance of 'git
merge-base --independent <all-tags>' goes from 1.1 seconds to 0.11

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.
