grep does not follow the conventions used by other Git commands when
printing paths that contain unusual characters (as double-quotes or
newlines). Commands such as ls-files, commit, status and diff will:
- Quote and escape unusual pathnames, by default.
- Print names verbatim and unquoted when "-z" is used.
But grep *never* quotes/escapes absolute paths with unusual chars and
*always* quotes/escapes relative ones, even with "-z". Besides being
inconsistent in its own output, the deviation from other Git commands
can be confusing. So let's make it follow the two rules above and add
some tests for this new behavior. Note that, making grep quote/escape
all unusual paths by default, also make it fully compliant with the
core.quotePath configuration, which is currently ignored for absolute
paths.

The changed-path Bloom filters help reduce the amount of tree
parsing required during history queries. Before calculating a
diff, we can ask the filter if a path changed between a commit
and its first parent. If the filter says "no" then we can move
on without parsing trees. If the filter says "maybe" then we
parse trees to discover if the answer is actually "yes" or "no".
When computing a blame, there is a section in find_origin() that
computes a diff between a commit and one of its parents. When this
is the first parent, we can check the Bloom filters before calling
diff_tree_oid().
In order to make this work with the blame machinery, we need to
initialize a struct bloom_key with the initial path. But also, we
need to add more keys to a list if a rename is detected. We then
check to see if _any_ of these keys answer "maybe" in the diff.
During development, I purposefully left out this "add a new key
when a rename is detected" to see if the test suite would catch
my error. That is how I discovered the issues with
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS from the previous change.
With that change, we can feel some confidence in the coverage of
this change.
If a user requests copy detection using "git blame -C", then there
are more places where the set of "important" files can expand. I
do not know enough about how this happens in the blame machinery.
Thus, the Bloom filter integration is explicitly disabled in this
mode. A later change could expand the bloom_key data with an
appropriate call (or calls) to add_bloom_key().
If we did not disable this mode, then the following tests would
fail:
t8003-blame-corner-cases.sh
t8011-blame-split-file.sh
Generally, this is a performance enhancement and should not
change the behavior of 'git blame' in any way. If a repo has a
commit-graph file with computed changed-path Bloom filters, then
they should notice improved performance for their 'git blame'
commands.
Here are some example timings that I found by blaming some paths
in the Linux kernel repository:
git blame arch/x86/kernel/topology.c >/dev/null
Before: 0.83s
After: 0.24s
git blame kernel/time/time.c >/dev/null
Before: 0.72s
After: 0.24s
git blame tools/perf/ui/stdio/hist.c >/dev/null
Before: 0.27s
After: 0.11s
I specifically looked for "deep" paths that were also edited many
times. As a counterpoint, the MAINTAINERS file was edited many
times but is located in the root tree. This means that the cost of
computing a diff relative to the pathspec is very small. Here are
the timings for that command:
git blame MAINTAINERS >/dev/null
Before: 20.1s
After: 18.0s
These timings are the best of five. The worst-case runs were on the
order of 2.5 minutes for both cases. Note that the MAINTAINERS file
has 18,740 lines across 17,000+ commits. This happens to be one of
the cases where this change provides the least improvement.
The lack of improvement for the MAINTAINERS file and the relatively
modest improvement for the other examples can be easily explained.
The blame machinery needs to compute line-level diffs to determine
which lines were changed by each commit. That makes up a large
proportion of the computation time, and this change does not
attempt to improve on that section of the algorithm. The
MAINTAINERS file is large and changed often, so it takes time to
determine which lines were updated by which commit. In contrast,
the code files are much smaller, and it takes longer to comute
the line-by-line diff for a single patch on the Linux mailing
lists.
Outside of the "-C" integration, I believe there is little more to
gain from the changed-path Bloom filters for 'git blame' after this
patch.

The GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH environment variable updates the commit-

GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS environment variable was
introduced to write the changed-path Bloom filters whenever "git

To expand the number of tests that have commits in the commit-graph

Starting in 3ac68a93fd, help.o began to depend on builtin/branch.o,
builtin/clean.o, and builtin/config.o. This meant that help.o was
unusable outside of the context of the main Git executable.
To make help.o usable by other commands again, move list_config_help()
into builtin/help.c (where it makes sense to assume other builtin libraries
are present).
When command-list.h is included but a member is not used, we start to
hear a compiler warning. Since the config list is generated in a fairly
different way than the command list, and since commands and config
options are semantically different, move the config list into its own

For reasons explained in 976aaedc (msvc: add a Makefile target to
pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29), some build
artifacts we consider non-source files cannot be generated in the

In 'git log', the --decorate-refs-exclude option appends a pattern
to a string_list. This list is used to prevent showing some refs
in the decoration output, or even by --simplify-by-decoration.
Users may want to use their refs space to store utility refs that
should not appear in the decoration output. For example, Scalar [1]
runs a background fetch but places the "new" refs inside the
refs/scalar/hidden/<remote>/* refspace instead of refs/<remote>/*
to avoid updating remote refs when the user is not looking. However,
these "hidden" refs appear during regular 'git log' queries.
A similar idea to use "hidden" refs is under consideration for core
Git [2].
Add the 'log.excludeDecoration' config option so users can exclude
some refs from decorations by default instead of needing to use
--decorate-refs-exclude manually. The config value is multi-valued
much like the command-line option. The documentation is careful to
point out that the config value can be overridden by the
--decorate-refs option, even though --decorate-refs-exclude would
always "win" over --decorate-refs.
Since the 'log.excludeDecoration' takes lower precedence to
--decorate-refs, and --decorate-refs-exclude takes higher
precedence, the struct decoration_filter needed another field.
This led also to new logic in load_ref_decorations() and
ref_filter_match().
There are several tests in t4202-log.sh that test the
--decorate-refs-(include|exclude) options, so these are extended.
Since the expected output is already stored as a file, most tests
could simply replace a "--decorate-refs-exclude" option with an
in-line config setting. Other tests involve the precedence of
the config option compared to command-line options and needed more
modification.

When operating on a stream of commit OIDs on stdin, 'git commit-graph
write' checks that each OID refers to an object that is indeed a commit.
This is convenient to make sure that the given input is well-formed, but
can sometimes be undesirable.
For example, server operators may wish to feed the refnames that were
updated during a push to 'git commit-graph write --input=stdin-commits',
and silently discard refs that don't point at commits. This can be done
by combing the output of 'git for-each-ref' with '--format
%(*objecttype)', but this requires opening up a potentially large number
of objects. Instead, it is more convenient to feed the updated refs to
the commit-graph machinery, and let it throw out refs that don't point
to commits.
Introduce '--[no-]check-oids' to make such a behavior possible. With
'--check-oids' (the default behavior to retain backwards compatibility),
'git commit-graph write' will barf on a non-commit line in its input.
With 'no-check-oids', such lines will be silently ignored, making the
above possible by specifying this option.
No matter which is supplied, 'git commit-graph write' retains the
behavior from the previous commit of rejecting non-OID inputs like
"HEAD" and "refs/heads/foo" as before.

The 'write_commit_graph()' function takes in either a string list of
pack indices, or a string list of hexadecimal commit OIDs. These
correspond to the '--stdin-packs' and '--stdin-commits' mode(s) from
'git commit-graph write'.
Using a string_list of hexadecimal commit IDs is not the most efficient
use of memory, since we can instead use the 'struct oidset', which is
more well-suited for this case.
This has another benefit which will become apparent in the following
commit. This is that we are about to disambiguate the kinds of errors we
produce with '--stdin-commits' into "non-hex input" and "hex-input, but
referring to a non-commit object". By having 'write_commit_graph' take
in a 'struct oidset *' of commits, we place the burden on the caller (in
this case, the builtin) to handle the first case, and the commit-graph
machinery can handle the second case.

When using split commit-graphs, it is sometimes useful to completely
replace the commit-graph chain with a new base.
For example, consider a scenario in which a repository builds a new
commit-graph incremental for each push. Occasionally (say, after some
fixed number of pushes), they may wish to rebuild the commit-graph chain
with all reachable commits.
They can do so with
$ git commit-graph write --reachable
but this removes the chain entirely and replaces it with a single
commit-graph in 'objects/info/commit-graph'. Unfortunately, this means
that the next push will have to move this commit-graph into the first
layer of a new chain, and then write its new commits on top.
Avoid such copying entirely by allowing the caller to specify that they
wish to replace the entirety of their commit-graph chain, while also
specifying that the new commit-graph should become the basis of a fresh,
length-one chain.
This addresses the above situation by making it possible for the caller
to instead write:
$ git commit-graph write --reachable --split=replace
which writes a new length-one chain to 'objects/info/commit-graphs',
making the commit-graph incremental generated by the subsequent push
relatively cheap by avoiding the aforementioned copy.
In order to do this, remove an assumption in 'write_commit_graph_file'
that chains are always at least two incrementals long.

In the previous commit, we laid the groundwork for supporting different
splitting strategies. In this commit, we introduce the first splitting
strategy: 'no-merge'.
Passing '--split=no-merge' is useful for callers which wish to write a
new incremental commit-graph, but do not want to spend effort condensing
the incremental chain [1]. Previously, this was possible by passing
'--size-multiple=0', but this no longer the case following 63020f175f
(commit-graph: prefer default size_mult when given zero, 2020-01-02).
When '--split=no-merge' is given, the commit-graph machinery will never
condense an existing chain, and it will always write a new incremental.
[1]: This might occur when, for example, a server administrator running
some program after each push may want to ensure that each job runs
proportional in time to the size of the push, and does not "jump" when
the commit-graph machinery decides to trigger a merge.

With '--split', the commit-graph machinery writes new commits in another
incremental commit-graph which is part of the existing chain, and
optionally decides to condense the chain into a single commit-graph.
This is done to ensure that the asymptotic behavior of looking up a
commit in an incremental chain is not dominated by the number of
incrementals in that chain. It can be controlled by the '--max-commits'
and '--size-multiple' options.
In the next two commits, we will introduce additional splitting
strategies that can exert additional control over:
- when a split commit-graph is and isn't written, and
- when the existing commit-graph chain is discarded completely and
replaced with another graph
To prepare for this, make '--split' take an optional strategy (as in
'--split[=<strategy>]'), and add a new enum to describe which strategy
is being used. For now, no strategies are given, and the only enumerated
value is 'COMMIT_GRAPH_SPLIT_UNSPECIFIED', indicating the absence of a
strategy.

When rebasing against an upstream that has had many commits since the
original branch was created:
O -- O -- ... -- O -- O (upstream)
\
-- O (my-dev-branch)
it must read the contents of every novel upstream commit, in addition to
the tip of the upstream and the merge base, because "git rebase"
attempts to exclude commits that are duplicates of upstream ones. This
can be a significant performance hit, especially in a partial clone,
wherein a read of an object may end up being a fetch.
Add a flag to "git rebase" to allow suppression of this feature. This
flag only works when using the "merge" backend.
This flag changes the behavior of sequencer_make_script(), called from
do_interactive_rebase() <- run_rebase_interactive() <-
run_specific_rebase() <- cmd_rebase(). With this flag, limit_list()
(indirectly called from sequencer_make_script() through
prepare_revision_walk()) will no longer call cherry_pick_list(), and
thus PATCHSAME is no longer set. Refraining from setting PATCHSAME both
means that the intermediate commits in upstream are no longer read (as
shown by the test) and means that no PATCHSAME-caused skipping of
commits is done by sequencer_make_script(), either directly or through
make_script_with_merges().

Commit d48e5e21da ("rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the
default", 2020-02-15) turned --keep-empty (for keeping commits which
start empty) into the default. The logic underpinning that commit was:
1) 'git commit' errors out on the creation of empty commits without an
override flag
2) Once someone determines that the override is worthwhile, it's
annoying and/or harmful to required them to take extra steps in
order to keep such commits around (and to repeat such steps with
every rebase).
While the logic on which the decision was made is sound, the result was
a bit of an overcorrection. Instead of jumping to having --keep-empty
being the default, it jumped to making --keep-empty the only available
behavior. There was a simple workaround, though, which was thought to
be good enough at the time. People could still drop commits which
started empty the same way the could drop any commits: by firing up an
interactive rebase and picking out the commits they didn't want from the
list. However, there are cases where external tools might create enough
empty commits that picking all of them out is painful. As such, having
a flag to automatically remove start-empty commits may be beneficial.
Provide users a way to drop commits which start empty using a flag that
existed for years: --no-keep-empty. Interpret --keep-empty as
countermanding any previous --no-keep-empty, but otherwise leaving
--keep-empty as the default.
This might lead to some slight weirdness since commands like
git rebase --empty=drop --keep-empty
git rebase --empty=keep --no-keep-empty
look really weird despite making perfect sense (the first will drop
commits which become empty, but keep commits that started empty; the
second will keep commits which become empty, but drop commits which
started empty). However, --no-keep-empty was named years ago and we are
predominantly keeping it for backward compatibility; also we suspect it
will only be used rarely since folks already have a simple way to drop
commits they don't want with an interactive rebase.

We return the length to a subset of a string using an "int *"
out-parameter. This is fine most of the time, as we'd expect config keys
to be relatively short, but it could behave oddly if we had a gigantic
config key. A more appropriate type is size_t.
Let's switch over, which lets our callers use size_t as appropriate
(they are bound by our type because they must pass the out-parameter as
a pointer). This is mostly just a cleanup to make it clear this code
handles long strings correctly. In practice, our config parser already
chokes on long key names (because of a similar int/size_t mixup!).
When doing an int/size_t conversion, we have to be careful that nobody
was trying to assign a negative value to the variable. I manually
confirmed that for each case here. They tend to just feed the result to
xmemdupz() or similar; in a few cases I adjusted the parameter types for
helper functions to make sure the size_t is preserved.

In rebase, one can pass the `--autostash` option to cause the worktree
to be automatically stashed before continuing with the rebase. This
option is missing in merge, however.
Implement the `--autostash` option and corresponding `merge.autoStash`
option in merge which stashes before merging and then pops after.
This option is useful when a developer has some local changes on a topic
branch but they realize that their work depends on another branch.
Previously, they had to run something like
git fetch ...
git stash push
git merge FETCH_HEAD
git stash pop
but now, that is reduced to
git fetch ...
git merge --autostash FETCH_HEAD
When an autostash is generated, it is automatically reapplied to the
worktree only in three explicit situations:
1. An incomplete merge is commit using `git commit`.
2. A merge completes successfully.
3. A merge is aborted using `git merge --abort`.
In all other situations where the merge state is removed using
remove_merge_branch_state() such as aborting a merge via
`git reset --hard`, the autostash is saved into the stash reflog
instead keeping the worktree clean.

When we're comparing a push cert nonce, we currently do so using strcmp.
Most implementations of strcmp short-circuit and exit as soon as they
know whether two values are equal. This, however, is a problem when
we're comparing the output of HMAC, as it leaks information in the time
taken about how much of the two values match if they do indeed differ.
In our case, the nonce is used to prevent replay attacks against our
server via the embedded timestamp and replay attacks using requests from
a different server via the HMAC. Push certs, which contain the nonces,
are signed, so an attacker cannot tamper with the nonces without
breaking validation of the signature. They can, of course, create their
own signatures with invalid nonces, but they can also create their own
signatures with valid nonces, so there's nothing to be gained. Thus,
there is no security problem.
Even though it doesn't appear that there are any negative consequences
from the current technique, for safety and to encourage good practices,
let's use a constant time comparison function for nonce verification.
POSIX does not provide one, but they are easy to write.
The technique we use here is also used in NaCl and the Go standard
library and relies on the fact that bitwise or and xor are constant time
on all known architectures.
We need not be concerned about exiting early if the actual and expected
lengths differ, since the standard cryptographic assumption is that
everyone, including an attacker, knows the format of and algorithm used
in our nonces (and in any event, they have the source code and can
determine it easily). As a result, we assume everyone knows how long
our nonces should be. This philosophy is also taken by the Go standard
library and other cryptographic libraries when performing constant time
comparisons on HMAC values.

When trying to stash part of the worktree changes by splitting a hunk
and then only partially accepting the split bits and pieces, the user
is presented with a rather cryptic error:
error: patch failed: <file>:<line>
error: test: patch does not apply
Cannot remove worktree changes
and the command would fail to stash the desired parts of the worktree
changes (even if the `stash` ref was actually updated correctly).
We even have a test case demonstrating that failure, carrying it for
four years already.
The explanation: when splitting a hunk, the changed lines are no longer
separated by more than 3 lines (which is the amount of context lines
Git's diffs use by default), but less than that. So when staging only
part of the diff hunk for stashing, the resulting diff that we want to
apply to the worktree in reverse will contain those changes to be
dropped surrounded by three context lines, but since the diff is
relative to HEAD rather than to the worktree, these context lines will
not match.
Example time. Let's assume that the file README contains these lines:
We
the
people
and the worktree added some lines so that it contains these lines
instead:
We
are
the
kind
people
and the user tries to stash the line containing "are", then the command
will internally stage this line to a temporary index file and try to
revert the diff between HEAD and that index file. The diff hunk that
`git stash` tries to revert will look somewhat like this:
@@ -1776,3 +1776,4
We
+are
the
people
It is obvious, now, that the trailing context lines overlap with the
part of the original diff hunk that the user did *not* want to stash.
Keeping in mind that context lines in diffs serve the primary purpose of
finding the exact location when the diff does not apply precisely (but
when the exact line number in the file to be patched differs from the
line number indicated in the diff), we work around this by reducing the
amount of context lines: the diff was just generated.
Note: this is not a *full* fix for the issue. Just as demonstrated in
t3701's 'add -p works with pathological context lines' test case, there
are ambiguities in the diff format. It is very rare in practice, of
course, to encounter such repeated lines.
The full solution for such cases would be to replace the approach of
generating a diff from the stash and then applying it in reverse by
emulating `git revert` (i.e. doing a 3-way merge). However, in `git
stash -p` it would not apply to `HEAD` but instead to the worktree,
which makes this non-trivial to implement as long as we also maintain a
scripted version of `add -i`.

format-patch Q-encodes them so they can be safely sent over email.
However, if the patch transfer method is something other than email (web

The git-update-ref(1) command can only handle queueing transactions
right now via its "--stdin" parameter, but there is no way for users to
handle the transaction itself in a more explicit way. E.g. in a
replicated scenario, one may imagine a coordinator that spawns
git-update-ref(1) for multiple repositories and only if all agree that
an update is possible will the coordinator send a commit. Such a
transactional session could look like
> start
< start: ok
> update refs/heads/master $OLD $NEW
> prepare
< prepare: ok
# All nodes have returned "ok"
> commit
< commit: ok
or
> start
< start: ok
> create refs/heads/master $OLD $NEW
> prepare
< fatal: cannot lock ref 'refs/heads/master': reference already exists
# On all other nodes:
> abort
< abort: ok
In order to allow for such transactional sessions, this commit
introduces four new commands for git-update-ref(1), which matches those
we have internally already with the exception of "start":
- start: start a new transaction
- prepare: prepare the transaction, that is try to lock all
references and verify their current value matches the
expected one
- commit: explicitly commit a session, that is update references to
match their new expected state
- abort: abort a session and roll back all changes
By design, git-update-ref(1) will commit as soon as standard input is
being closed. While fine in a non-transactional world, it is definitely
unexpected in a transactional world. Because of this, as soon as any of
the new transactional commands is used, the default will change to
aborting without an explicit "commit". To avoid a race between queueing
updates and the first "prepare" that starts a transaction, the "start"
command has been added to start an explicit transaction.
Add some tests to exercise this new functionality.

The git-update-ref(1) supports a `--stdin` mode that allows it to read
all reference updates from standard input. This is mainly used to allow
for atomic reference updates that are all or nothing, so that either all
references will get updated or none.
Currently, git-update-ref(1) reads all commands as a single block of up
to 1000 characters and only starts processing after stdin gets closed.
This is less flexible than one might wish for, as it doesn't really
allow for longer-lived transactions and doesn't allow any verification
without committing everything. E.g. one may imagine the following
exchange:
> start
< start: ok
> update refs/heads/master $NEWOID1 $OLDOID1
> update refs/heads/branch $NEWOID2 $OLDOID2
> prepare
< prepare: ok
> commit
< commit: ok
When reading all input as a whole block, the above interactive protocol
is obviously impossible to achieve. But by converting the command to
read commands linewise, we can make it more interactive than before.
Obviously, the linewise interface is only a first step in making
git-update-ref(1) work in a more transaction-oriented way. Missing is
most importantly support for transactional commands that manage the
current transaction.

While the actual logic to update the transaction is handled in
`update_refs_stdin()`, the transaction itself is started and committed
in `cmd_update_ref()` itself. This makes it hard to handle transaction
abortion and commits as part of `update_refs_stdin()` itself, which is
required in order to introduce transaction handling features to `git
update-refs --stdin`.
Refactor the code to move all transaction handling into
`update_refs_stdin()` to prepare for transaction handling features.

The commit-graph builtin has an --expire-time option that takes a
datetime using OPT_EXPIRY_DATE(). However, the implementation inside
expire_commit_graphs() was treating a non-zero value as a number of
seconds to subtract from "now".
Update t5323-split-commit-graph.sh to demonstrate the correct value
of the --expire-time option by actually creating a crud .graph file
with mtime earlier than the expire time. Instead of using a super-
early time (1980) we use an explicit, and recent, time. Using
test-tool chmtime to create two files on either end of an exact
second, we create a test that catches this failure no matter the
current time. Using a fixed date is more portable than trying to
format a relative date string into the --expiry-date input.
I noticed this when inspecting some Scalar repos that had an excess
number of commit-graph files. In Scalar, we were using this second
interpretation by using "--expire-time=3600" to mean "delete graphs
older than one hour ago" to avoid deleting a commit-graph that a
foreground process may be trying to load.
Also I noticed that the help text was copied from the --max-commits
option. Fix that help text.

Traditionally, the expected calling convention for the dir.c API was:
fill_directory(&dir, ..., pathspec)
foreach entry in dir->entries:
if (dir_path_match(entry, pathspec))
process_or_display(entry)
This may have made sense once upon a time, because the fill_directory() call
could use cheap checks to avoid doing full pathspec matching, and an external
caller may have wanted to do other post-processing of the results anyway.
However:
* this structure makes it easy for users of the API to get it wrong
* this structure actually makes it harder to understand
fill_directory() and the functions it uses internally. It has
tripped me up several times while trying to fix bugs and
restructure things.
* relying on post-filtering was already found to produce wrong
results; pathspec matching had to be added internally for multiple
cases in order to get the right results (see commits 404ebceda0
(dir: also check directories for matching pathspecs, 2019-09-17)
and 89a1f4aaf7 (dir: if our pathspec might match files under a
dir, recurse into it, 2019-09-17))
* it's bad for performance: fill_directory() already has to do lots
of checks and knows the subset of cases where it still needs to do
more checks. Forcing external callers to do full pathspec
matching means they must re-check _every_ path.
So, add the pathspec matching within the fill_directory() internals, and
remove it from external callers.

When cloning with --single-branch, we implement git-fetch's usual
tag-following behavior, grabbing any tag objects that point to objects
we have locally.
When we're a partial clone, though, our has_object_file() check will
actually lazy-fetch each tag. That not only defeats the purpose of
--single-branch, but it does it incredibly slowly, potentially kicking
off a new fetch for each tag. This is even worse for a shallow clone,
which implies --single-branch, because even tags which are supersets of
each other will be fetched individually.
We can fix this by passing OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT to the call,
which is what git-fetch does in this case.
Likewise, let's include OBJECT_INFO_QUICK, as that's what git-fetch
does. The rationale is discussed in 5827a03545 (fetch: use "quick"
has_sha1_file for tag following, 2016-10-13), but here the tradeoff
would apply even more so because clone is very unlikely to be racing
with another process repacking our newly-created repository.
This may provide a very small speedup even in the non-partial case case,
as we'd avoid calling reprepare_packed_git() for each tag (though in
practice, we'd only have a single packfile, so that reprepare should be
quite cheap).

We renamed the actual data structure in 910650d2f8 (Rename sha1_array to

being slightly confusing, it makes it more annoying to grep for leftover
occurrences of "sha1" in various files, because the header is included
in so many places.
Let's complete the transition by renaming the source and header files
(and fixing up a few comment references).
I kept the "-" in the name, as that seems to be our style; cf.
fc1395f4a4 (sha1_file.c: rename to use dash in file name, 2018-04-10).
We also have oidmap.h and oidset.h without any punctuation, but those
are "struct oidmap" and "struct oidset" in the code. We _could_ make
this "oidarray" to match, but somehow it looks uglier to me because of
the length of "array" (plus it would be a very invasive patch for little

With 50033772d5 ("connected: verify promisor-ness of partial clone",
2020-01-30), the fast path (checking promisor packs) in
check_connected() now passes a subset of the slow path (rev-list) - if
all objects to be checked are found in promisor packs, both the fast
path and the slow path will pass; otherwise, the fast path will
definitely not pass. This means that we can always attempt the fast path
whenever we need to do the slow path.
The fast path is currently guarded by a flag; therefore, remove that
flag. Also, make the fast path fallback to the slow path - if the fast
path fails, the failing OID and all remaining OIDs will be passed to
rev-list.
The main user-visible benefit is the performance of fetch from a partial
clone - specifically, the speedup of the connectivity check done before
the fetch. In particular, a no-op fetch into a partial clone on my
computer was sped up from 7 seconds to 0.01 seconds. This is a
complement to the work in 2df1aa239c ("fetch: forgo full
connectivity check if --filter", 2020-01-30), which is the child of the
aforementioned 50033772d5. In that commit, the connectivity check
*after* the fetch was sped up.
The addition of the fast path might cause performance reductions in
these cases:
- If a partial clone or a fetch into a partial clone fails, Git will
fruitlessly run rev-list (it is expected that everything fetched
would go into promisor packs, so if that didn't happen, it is most
likely that rev-list will fail too).
- Any connectivity checks done by receive-pack, in the (in my opinion,
unlikely) event that a partial clone serves receive-pack.
I think that these cases are rare enough, and the performance reduction
in this case minor enough (additional object DB access), that the
benefit of avoiding a flag outweighs these.

Now that we have the codebase wired up to pass any additional metadata
to filters, let's collect the additional metadata that we'd like to
pass.
The two main places we pass this metadata are checkouts and archives.
In these two situations, reading HEAD isn't a valid option, since HEAD
isn't updated for checkouts until after the working tree is written and
archives can accept an arbitrary tree. In other situations, HEAD will
usually reflect the refname of the branch in current use.
We pass a smaller amount of data in other cases, such as git cat-file,
where we can really only logically know about the blob.
This commit updates only the parts of the checkout code where we don't
use unpack_trees. That function and callers of it will be handled in a
future commit.
In the archive code, we leak a small amount of memory, since nothing we
pass in the archiver argument structure is freed.

There are a variety of situations where a filter process can make use of
some additional metadata. For example, some people find the ident
filter too limiting and would like to include the commit or the branch
in their smudged files. This information isn't available during
checkout as HEAD hasn't been updated at that point, and it wouldn't be
available in archives either.
Let's add a way to pass this metadata down to the filter. We pass the
blob we're operating on, the treeish (preferring the commit over the
tree if one exists), and the ref we're operating on. Note that we won't
pass this information in all cases, such as when renormalizing or when
we're performing diffs, since it doesn't make sense in those cases.
The data we currently get from the filter process looks like the
following:
command=smudge
pathname=git.c
0000
With this change, we'll get data more like this:
command=smudge
pathname=git.c
refname=refs/tags/v2.25.1
treeish=c522f061d551c9bb8684a7c3859b2ece4499b56b
blob=7be7ad34bd053884ec48923706e70c81719a8660
0000
There are a couple things to note about this approach. For operations
like checkout, treeish will always be a commit, since we cannot check
out individual trees, but for other operations, like archive, we can end
up operating on only a particular tree, so we'll provide only a tree as
the treeish. Similar comments apply for refname, since there are a
variety of cases in which we won't have a ref.
This commit wires up the code to print this information, but doesn't
pass any of it at this point. In a future commit, we'll have various
code paths pass the actual useful data down.

This commit refactors the use of verify_signed_buffer() outside of
gpg-interface.c to use check_signature() instead. It also turns
verify_signed_buffer() into a file-local function since it's now only
invoked internally by check_signature().
There were previously two globally scoped functions used in different
parts of Git to perform GPG signature verification:
verify_signed_buffer() and check_signature(). Now only
check_signature() is used.
The verify_signed_buffer() function doesn't guard against duplicate
signatures as described by Michał Górny [1]. Instead it only ensures a
non-erroneous exit code from GPG and the presence of at least one
GOODSIG status field. This stands in contrast with check_signature()
that returns an error if more than one signature is encountered.
The lower degree of verification makes the use of verify_signed_buffer()
problematic if callers don't parse and validate the various parts of the
GPG status message themselves. And processing these messages seems like
a task that should be reserved to gpg-interface.c with the function
check_signature().
Furthermore, the use of verify_signed_buffer() makes it difficult to
introduce new functionality that relies on the content of the GPG status
lines.
Now all operations that does signature verification share a single entry
point to gpg-interface.c. This makes it easier to propagate changed or
additional functionality in GPG signature verification to all parts of
Git, without having odd edge-cases that don't perform the same degree of
verification.

Returning a shared buffer invites very subtle bugs due to reentrancy or
multi-threading, as demonstrated by the previous patch.
There was an unfinished effort to abolish this [1].
Let's finally rid of `real_path()`, using `strbuf_realpath()` instead.
This patch uses a local `strbuf` for most places where `real_path()` was
previously called.
However, two places return the value of `real_path()` to the caller. For
them, a `static` local `strbuf` was added, effectively pushing the
problem one level higher:
read_gitfile_gently()
get_superproject_working_tree()

`real_path()` returns result from a shared buffer, inviting subtle
reentrance bugs. One of these bugs occur when invoked this way:
set_git_dir(real_path(git_dir))
In this case, `real_path()` has reentrance:
real_path
read_gitfile_gently
repo_set_gitdir
setup_git_env
set_git_dir_1
set_git_dir
Later, `set_git_dir()` uses its now-dead parameter:

Remove the stash.useBuiltin setting which was added as an escape hatch
to disable the builtin version of stash first released with Git 2.22.
Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden, and has in fact
become out of date failing a test since the 2.23 release, without
anyone noticing until now. So users would be getting a hint to fall
back to a potentially buggy version of the tool.
We used to shell out to git config to get the useBuiltin configuration
to avoid changing any global state before spawning legacy-stash.
However that is no longer necessary, so just use the 'git_config'
function to get the setting instead.

This reverts commit 72b006f4bf, which
breaks the end-user experience when merging a signed tag without
having the public key. We should report "can't check because we
have no public key", but the code with this change claimed that
there was no signature.
When searching the commit graph for tag candidates, `git-describe`
will stop as soon as there is only one active branch left and
it already found an annotated tag as a candidate.
This works well as long as all branches eventually connect back
to a common root, but if the tags are found across branches
with no common ancestor

it can happen that the search on one branch terminates prematurely
because a tag was found on another, independent branch. This scenario
isn't quite as obscure as it sounds, since cloning with a limited
depth often introduces many independent "dead ends" into the commit
graph.
The help text of `git-describe` states pretty clearly that when
describing a commit D, the number appended to the emitted tag X should
correspond to the number of commits found by `git log X..D`.
Thus, this commit modifies the stopping condition to only abort
the search when only one branch is left to search *and* all current
best candidates are descendants from that branch.
For repositories with a single root, this condition is always
true: When the search is reduced to a single active branch, the
current commit must be an ancestor of *all* tag candidates. This
means that in the common case, this change will have no negative
performance impact since the same number of commits as before will
be traversed.

"git worktree add <path>" performs various checks before approving
<path> as a valid location for the new worktree. Aside from ensuring
that <path> does not already exist, one of the questions it asks is
whether <path> is already a registered worktree. To perform this check,
it queries find_worktree() and disallows the "add" operation if
find_worktree() finds a match for <path>. As a convenience, however,
find_worktree() casts an overly wide net to allow users to identify
worktrees by shorthand in order to keep typing to a minimum. For
instance, it performs suffix matching which, given subtrees "foo/bar"
and "foo/baz", can correctly select the latter when asked only for
"baz".
"add" validation knows the exact path it is interrogating, so this sort
of heuristic-based matching is, at best, questionable for this use-case
and, at worst, may may accidentally interpret <path> as matching an
existing worktree and incorrectly report it as already registered even
when it isn't. (In fact, validate_worktree_add() already contains a
special case to avoid accidentally matching against the main worktree,
precisely due to this problem.)
Avoid the problem of potential accidental matching against an existing
worktree by instead taking advantage of find_worktree_by_path() which
matches paths deterministically, without applying any sort of magic
shorthand matching performed by find_worktree().

If a caller sets the object_info.delta_base_sha1 to a non-NULL pointer,
we'll write the oid of the object's delta base to it. But we can
increase our type safety by switching this to a real object_id struct.
All of our callers are just pointing into the hash member of an
object_id anyway, so there's no inconvenience.
Note that we do still keep it as a pointer-to-struct, because the NULL
sentinel value tells us whether the caller is even interested in the
information.

When the pack-reuse code is dumping an OFS_DELTA entry to a client that
doesn't support it, we re-write it as a REF_DELTA. To do so, we use
nth_packed_object_sha1() to get the oid, but that function is soon going
away in favor of the more type-safe nth_packed_object_id(). Let's switch
now in preparation.
Note that this does incur an extra hash copy (from the pack idx mmap to
the object_id and then to the output, rather than straight from mmap to
the output). But this is not worth worrying about. It's probably not
measurable even when it triggers, and this is fallback code that we
expect to trigger very rarely (since everybody supports OFS_DELTA these
days anyway).

When we're considering reusing an on-disk delta, we get the oid of the
base as a pointer to unsigned char bytes of the hash, either into the
packfile itself (for REF_DELTA) or into the pack idx (using the revindex
to convert the offset into an index entry).
Instead, we'd prefer to use a more type-safe object_id as much as
possible. We can get the pack idx using nth_packed_object_id() instead.
For the packfile bytes, we can copy them out using oidread().
This doesn't even incur an extra copy overall, since the next thing we'd
always do with that pointer is pass it to can_reuse_delta(), which needs
an object_id anyway (and called oidread() itself). So this patch also
converts that function to take the object_id directly.
Note that we did previously use NULL as a sentinel value when the object
isn't a delta. We could probably get away with using the null oid for
this, but instead we'll use an explicit boolean flag, which should make
things more obvious for people reading the code later.

Our nth_packed_object_sha1() function returns NULL for error. So when we
wrapped it with nth_packed_object_oid(), we kept the same semantics. But
it's a bit funny, because the caller actually passes in an out
parameter, and the pointer we return is just that same struct they
passed to us (or NULL).
It's not too terrible, but it does make the interface a little
non-idiomatic. Let's switch to our usual "0 for success, negative for
error" return value. Most callers either don't check it, or are
trivially converted. The one that requires the biggest change is
actually improved, as we can ditch an extra aliased pointer variable.
Since we are changing the interface in a subtle way that the compiler
wouldn't catch, let's also change the name to catch any topics in
flight. We can drop the 'o' and make it nth_packed_object_id(). That's
slightly shorter, but also less redundant since the 'o' stands for
"object" already.

The receive.denyCurrentBranch config option controls what happens if
you push to a branch that is checked out into a non-bare repository.
By default, it rejects it. It can be disabled via `ignore` or `warn`.
Another yet trickier option is `updateInstead`.
However, this setting was forgotten when the git worktree command was
introduced: only the main worktree's current branch is respected.
With this change, all worktrees are respected.
That change also leads to revealing another bug,
i.e. `receive.denyCurrentBranch = true` was ignored when pushing into a
non-bare repository's unborn current branch using ref namespaces. As
`is_ref_checked_out()` returns 0 which means `receive-pack` does not get
into conditional statement to switch `deny_current_branch` accordingly
(ignore, warn, refuse, unconfigured, updateInstead).
receive.denyCurrentBranch uses the function `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()`
(called via `resolve_refdup()`) to resolve the symbolic ref HEAD, but
that function fails when HEAD does not point at a valid commit.
As we replace the call to `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` with
`find_shared_symref()`, which has no problem finding the worktree for a
given branch even if it is unborn yet, this bug is fixed at the same
time: receive.denyCurrentBranch now also handles worktrees with unborn
branches as intended even while using ref namespaces.

The transition plan anticipates that we will allow signatures using
multiple algorithms in a single commit. In order to do so, we need to
use a different header per algorithm so that it will be obvious over
which data to compute the signature.
The transition plan specifies that we should use "gpgsig-sha256", so
wire up the commit code such that it can write and parse the current
algorithm, and it can remove the headers for any algorithm when creating
a new commit. Add tests to ensure that we write using the right header
and that git fsck doesn't reject these commits.

When we perform a clone, we won't know the remote side's hash algorithm
until we've read the heads. Consequently, we'll need to rewrite the
repository format version and hash algorithm once we know what the
remote side has. Move the code that does this into its own function so
that we can call it from clone in the future.

For the foreseeable future, SHA-1 will be the default algorithm for Git.
However, when running the testsuite, we want to be able to test an
arbitrary algorithm. It would be quite burdensome and very untidy to
have to specify the algorithm we'd like to test every time we
initialized a new repository somewhere in the testsuite, so add an
environment variable to allow us to specify the default hash algorithm
for Git.
This has the benefit that we can set it once for the entire testsuite
and not have to think about it. In the future, users can also use it to
set the default for their repositories if they would like to do so.

Allow the user to specify the hash algorithm on the command line by
using the --object-format option to git init. Validate that the user is
not attempting to reinitialize a repository with a different hash
algorithm. Ensure that if we are writing a non-SHA-1 repository that we
set the repository version to 1 and write the objectFormat extension.

When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c
checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There
is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function
nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This
can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are
completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and
thus supply no "haves" in the request.
6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a
global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag.
However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag.
Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in
addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents
repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful
about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist
due to updated refs.

An annotated tag has two names: where it sits in the refs/tags
hierarchy and the tagname recorded in the "tag" field in the object
itself. They usually should match.
Since 212945d4 ("Teach git-describe to verify annotated tag names
before output", 2008-02-28), a commit described using an annotated
tag bases its name on the tagname from the object. While this was a
deliberate design decision to make it easier to converse about tags
with others, even if the tags happen to be fetched to a different
name than it was given by its creator, it had one downside.
The output from "git describe", at least in the modern Git, should
be usable as an object name to name the exact commit given to the
"git describe" command. Using the tagname, when two names differ,
breaks this property, when describing a commit that is directly
pointed at by such a tag. An annotated tag Bob made as "v1.0" may
sit at "refs/tags/v1.0-bob" in the ref hierarchy, and output from
"git describe v1.0-bob^0" would say "v1.0", but there may not be
any tag at "refs/tags/v1.0" locally or there may be another tag that
points at a different object.
Note that this won't be a problem if a commit being described is not
directly pointed at by such a mislocated tag. In the example in the
previous paragraph, describing a commit whose parent is v1.0-bob
would result in "v1.0" (i.e. the tagname taken from the tag object)
followed by "-1-gXXXXX" where XXXXX is the abbreviated object name,
and a string that ends with "-g" followed by a hexadecimal string is
an object name for the object whose name begins with hexadecimal
string (as long as it is unique), so it does not matter if the
leading part is "v1.0" or "v1.0-bob".
Show the name in the long format, i.e. with "-0-gXXXXX" suffix, when
the name we give is based on a mislocated annotated tag to ensure
that the output can be used as the object name for the object
originally given to the command to fix the issue.
While at it, remove an overly cautious dead code to protect against
an annotated tag object without the tagname. Such a tag is filtered
out much earlier in the codeflow, and will not reach this part of
the code.

When "git am --show-current-patch" was added in commit 984913a210 ("am:
add --show-current-patch", 2018-02-12), "git am" started recommending it
as a replacement for .git/rebase-merge/patch. Unfortunately the suggestion
is somewhat misguided; for example, the output "git am --show-current-patch"
cannot be passed to "git apply" if it is encoded as quoted-printable or
base64. To simplify worktree operations and to avoid that users poke into
.git, it would be better if "git am" also provided a mode that copies
.git/rebase-merge/patch to stdout.
One possibility could be to have completely separate options, introducing
for example --show-current-message (for .git/rebase-apply/NNNN)
and --show-current-diff (for .git/rebase-apply/patch), while possibly
deprecating --show-current-patch.
That would even remove the need for the first two patches in the series.
However, the long common prefix would have prevented using an abbreviated
option such as "--show". Therefore, I chose instead to add a string
argument to --show-current-patch. The new argument is optional, so that
"git am --show-current-patch"'s behavior remains backwards-compatible.
The next choice to make is how to handle multiple --show-current-patch
options. Right now, something like "git am --abort --show-current-patch"
is rejected, and the previous suggestion would likewise have naturally
rejected a command line like
git am --show-current-message --show-current-diff
Therefore, I decided to also reject for example
git am --show-current-patch=diff --show-current-patch=raw
In other words the whole of --show-current-patch=xxx (including the
optional argument) is treated as the command mode. I found this to be
more consistent and intuitive, even though it differs from the usual
"last one wins" semantics of the git command line.
Add the code to parse submodes based on the above design, where for now
"raw" is the only valid submode. "raw" prints the full e-mail message
just like "git am --show-current-patch".

Eliminate crude option parsing and rely on real parsing instead, because
1) Crude parsing is crude, for example it's not capable of

2) Adding options in two places is inconvenient and prone to bugs
As a side result, the case of `git stash -m Message` gets fixed.
Also give a good error message instead of just throwing usage at user.

Some review of what's been happening to this code:
Before [1], `git-stash.sh` only verified that all args begin with `-` :
# The default command is "push" if nothing but options are given
seen_non_option=
for opt
do
case "$opt" in
--) break ;;
-*) ;;
*) seen_non_option=t; break ;;
esac
done
Later, [1] introduced the duplicate code I'm now removing, also making
the previous test more strict by white-listing options.

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.
Adjustments were needed for `if (!argc)` block:
This code actually means "pathspec is not present". Previously, pathspec
could only come from commandline arguments, so testing for `argc` was a
valid way of testing for the presence of pathspec. But this is no longer
true with `--pathspec-from-file`.
During the entire `--pathspec-from-file` story, I tried to keep its
behavior very close to giving pathspec on commandline, so that switching
from one to another doesn't involve any surprises.
However, throwing usage at user in the case of empty
`--pathspec-from-file` would puzzle because there's nothing wrong with
"usage" (that is, argc/argv array).
On the other hand, throwing usage in the old case also feels bad to me.
While it's less of a puzzle, I (as user) never liked the experience of
comparing my commandline to "usage", trying to spot a difference. Since
it's already known what the error is, it feels a lot better to give that
specific error to user.
Judging from [1] it doesn't seem that showing usage in this case was
important (the patch was to avoid segfault), and it doesn't fit into how
other commands react to empty pathspec (see for example `git add` with a
custom message).
Therefore, I decided to show new error text in both cases. In order to
continue testing for error early, I moved `parse_pathspec()` higher. Now
it happens before `read_cache()` / `hold_locked_index()` /
`setup_work_tree()`, which shouldn't cause any issues.

check-ignore has two different modes, and neither of these modes has an
implementation that matches the documentation. These modes differ in
whether they just print paths or whether they also print the final
pattern matched by the path. The fix is different for both modes, so
I'll discuss both separately.
=== First (default) mode ===
The first mode is documented as:
For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via
--stdin, check whether the file is excluded by .gitignore (or other
input files to the exclude mechanism) and output the path if it is
excluded.
However, it fails to do this because it did not account for negated
patterns. Commands other than check-ignore verify exclusion rules via
calling
... -> treat_one_path() -> is_excluded() -> last_matching_pattern()
while check-ignore has a call path of the form:
... -> check_ignore() -> last_matching_pattern()
The fact that the latter does not include the call to is_excluded()
means that it is susceptible to to messing up negated patterns (since
that is the only significant thing is_excluded() adds over
last_matching_pattern()). Unfortunately, we can't make it just call
is_excluded(), because the same codepath is used by the verbose mode
which needs to know the matched pattern in question. This brings us
to...
=== Second (verbose) mode ===
The second mode, known as verbose mode, references the first in the
documentation and says:
Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each
given pathname. For precedence rules within and between exclude
sources, see gitignore(5).
The "Also" means it will print patterns that match the exclude rules as
noted for the first mode, and also print which pattern matches. Unless
more information is printed than just pathname and pattern (which is not
done), this definition is somewhat ill-defined and perhaps even
self-contradictory for negated patterns: A path which matches a negated
exclude pattern is NOT excluded and thus shouldn't be printed by the
former logic, while it certainly does match one of the explicit patterns
and thus should be printed by the latter logic.
=== Resolution ==
Since the second mode exists to find out which pattern matches given
paths, and showing the user a pattern that begins with a '!' is
sufficient for them to figure out whether the pattern is excluded, the
existing behavior is desirable -- we just need to update the
documentation to match the implementation (i.e. it is about printing
which pattern is matched by paths, not about showing which paths are
excluded).
For the first or default mode, users just want to know whether a pattern
is excluded. As such, the existing documentation is desirable; change
the implementation to match the documented behavior.
Finally, also adjust a few tests in t0008 that were caught up by this
discrepancy in how negated paths were handled.

Two related changes, with separate rationale for each:
Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because:
* 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used
for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used
in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones
given that we are making it the default.
* 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is.
* the directory where state is stored is not called
.git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge.
Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because:
* Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point.
* Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the
documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read
it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large
burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very
careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces
annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems.
* Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a
backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the
alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user
tries to explain to another what they are doing.
* While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am
is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools
for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too.
* The directory where state is stored has never been called
.git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply.
For all the reasons listed above:
* Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names
* Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names
to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere
(e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation)
* Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply
* Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new
backend names for us as well.

In the past, we dis-allowed rebases using the interactive backend from
performing a fast-forward to short-circuit the rebase operation. This
made sense for explicitly interactive rebases and some implicitly
interactive rebases, but certainly became overly stringent when the
merge backend was re-implemented via the interactive backend.
Just as the am-based rebase has always had to disable the fast-forward
based on a variety of conditions or flags (e.g. --signoff, --whitespace,
etc.), we need to do the same but now with a few more options. However,
continuing to use REBASE_FORCE for tracking this is problematic because
the interactive backend used it for a different purpose. (When
REBASE_FORCE wasn't set, the interactive backend would not fast-forward
the whole series but would fast-forward individual "pick" commits at the
beginning of the todo list, and then a squash or something would cause
it to start generating new commits.) So, introduce a new
allow_preemptive_ff flag contained within cmd_rebase() and use it to
track whether we are going to allow a pre-emptive fast-forward that
short-circuits the whole rebase.

backend does not make use of the quiet flag anywhere (other than to
write out its state whenever it writes state), and this mechanism was
broken in the conversion from shell to C. Since this environment
variable was specifically designed for scripts and the only backend that

As established in the previous commit and commit b00bf1c9a8
(git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default, 2018-06-27), the
behavior for rebase with different backends in various edge or corner
cases is often more happenstance than design. This commit addresses
another such corner case: commits which "become empty".
A careful reader may note that there are two types of commits which would
become empty due to a rebase:
* [clean cherry-pick] Commits which are clean cherry-picks of upstream
commits, as determined by `git log --cherry-mark ...`. Re-applying
these commits would result in an empty set of changes and a
duplicative commit message; i.e. these are commits that have
"already been applied" upstream.
* [become empty] Commits which are not empty to start, are not clean
cherry-picks of upstream commits, but which still become empty after
being rebased. This happens e.g. when a commit has changes which
are a strict subset of the changes in an upstream commit, or when
the changes of a commit can be found spread across or among several
upstream commits.
Clearly, in both cases the changes in the commit in question are found
upstream already, but the commit message may not be in the latter case.
When cherry-mark can determine a commit is already upstream, then
because of how cherry-mark works this means the upstream commit message
was about the *exact* same set of changes. Thus, the commit messages
can be assumed to be fully interchangeable (and are in fact likely to be
completely identical). As such, the clean cherry-pick case represents a
case when there is no information to be gained by keeping the extra
commit around. All rebase types have always dropped these commits, and
no one to my knowledge has ever requested that we do otherwise.
For many of the become empty cases (and likely even most), we will also
be able to drop the commit without loss of information -- but this isn't
quite always the case. Since these commits represent cases that were
not clean cherry-picks, there is no upstream commit message explaining
the same set of changes. Projects with good commit message hygiene will
likely have the explanation from our commit message contained within or
spread among the relevant upstream commits, but not all projects run
that way. As such, the commit message of the commit being rebased may
have reasoning that suggests additional changes that should be made to
adapt to the new base, or it may have information that someone wants to
add as a note to another commit, or perhaps someone even wants to create
an empty commit with the commit message as-is.
Junio commented on the "become-empty" types of commits as follows[1]:
WRT a change that ends up being empty (as opposed to a change that
is empty from the beginning), I'd think that the current behaviour
is desireable one. "am" based rebase is solely to transplant an
existing history and want to stop much less than "interactive" one
whose purpose is to polish a series before making it publishable,
and asking for confirmation ("this has become empty--do you want to
drop it?") is more appropriate from the workflow point of view.

I would simply add that his arguments for "am"-based rebases actually
apply to all non-explicitly-interactive rebases. Also, since we are
stating that different cases should have different defaults, it may be
worth providing a flag to allow users to select which behavior they want
for these commits.
Introduce a new command line flag for selecting the desired behavior:
--empty={drop,keep,ask}
with the definitions:
drop: drop commits which become empty
keep: keep commits which become empty
ask: provide the user a chance to interact and pick what to do with
commits which become empty on a case-by-case basis
In line with Junio's suggestion, if the --empty flag is not specified,
pick defaults as follows:
explicitly interactive: ask
otherwise: drop

Different rebase backends have different treatment for commits which
start empty (i.e. have no changes relative to their parent), and the
--keep-empty option was added at some point to allow adjusting behavior.
The handling of commits which start empty is actually quite similar to
commit b00bf1c9a8 (git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the default,
2018-06-27), which pointed out that the behavior for various backends is
often more happenstance than design. The specific change made in that
commit is actually quite relevant as well and much of the logic there
directly applies here.
It makes a lot of sense in 'git commit' to error out on the creation of
empty commits, unless an override flag is provided. However, once
someone determines that there is a rare case that merits using the
manual override to create such a commit, it is somewhere between
annoying and harmful to have to take extra steps to keep such
intentional commits around. Granted, empty commits are quite rare,
which is why handling of them doesn't get considered much and folks tend
to defer to existing (accidental) behavior and assume there was a reason
for it, leading them to just add flags (--keep-empty in this case) that
allow them to override the bad defaults. Fix the interactive backend so
that --keep-empty is the default, much like we did with
--allow-empty-message. The am backend should also be fixed to have
--keep-empty semantics for commits that start empty, but that is not
included in this patch other than a testcase documenting the failure.
Note that there was one test in t3421 which appears to have been written
expecting --keep-empty to not be the default as correct behavior. This
test was introduced in commit 00b8be5a4d ("add tests for rebasing of
empty commits", 2013-06-06), which was part of a series focusing on
rebase topology and which had an interesting original cover letter at
https://lore.kernel.org/git/1347949878-12578-1-git-send-email-martinvonz@gmail.com/
which noted
Your input especially appreciated on whether you agree with the
intent of the test cases.
and then went into a long example about how one of the many tests added
had several questions about whether it was correct. As such, I believe
most the tests in that series were about testing rebase topology with as
many different flags as possible and were not trying to state in general
how those flags should behave otherwise.

Just as rev-list recently learned to combine filters and bitmaps, let's
do the same for pack-objects. The infrastructure is all there; we just
need to pass along our filter options, and the pack-bitmap code will
decide to use bitmaps or not.
This unsurprisingly makes things faster for partial clones of large
repositories (here we're cloning linux.git):

Currently you can't use object filters with bitmaps, but we plan to
support at least some filters with bitmaps. Let's introduce some
infrastructure that will help us do that:
- prepare_bitmap_walk() now accepts a list_objects_filter_options
parameter (which can be NULL for no filtering; all the current
callers pass this)
- we'll bail early if the filter is incompatible with bitmaps (just as
we would if there were no bitmaps at all). Currently all filters are
incompatible.
- we'll filter the resulting bitmap; since there are no supported
filters yet, this is always a noop.
There should be no behavior change yet, but we'll support some actual
filters in a future patch.

Ever since we added reachability bitmap support, we've been able to use
it with rev-list to get the full list of objects, like:
git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index --all
But you can't do so without --objects, since we weren't ready to just
show the commits. However, the internals of the bitmap code are mostly
ready for this: they avoid opening up trees when walking to fill in the
bitmaps. We just need to actually pass in the rev_info to
traverse_bitmap_commit_list() so it knows which types to bother
triggering our callback for.
For completeness, the perf test now covers both the existing --objects
case, as well as the new commits-only behavior (the objects one got way
faster when we introduced bitmaps, but obviously isn't improved now).
Here are numbers for linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.7: rev-list (commits) 8.29(8.10+0.19) 1.76(1.72+0.04) -78.8%
5310.8: rev-list (objects) 8.06(7.94+0.12) 8.14(7.94+0.13) +1.0%
That run was cheating a little, as I didn't have any commit-graph in the
repository, and we'd built it by default these days when running git-gc.
Here are numbers with a commit-graph:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.7: rev-list (commits) 0.70(0.58+0.12) 0.51(0.46+0.04) -27.1%
5310.8: rev-list (objects) 6.20(6.09+0.10) 6.27(6.16+0.11) +1.1%
Still an improvement, but a lot less impressive.

The prior commit taught "--count --objects" to work without bitmaps. We
should be able to get the same answer much more quickly with bitmaps.
Note that we punt on the max_count case here. This perhaps _could_ be
made to work if we find all of the boundary commits and treat them as
UNINTERESTING, subtracting them (and their reachable objects) from the
set we return. That implies an actual commit traversal, but we'd still
be faster due to avoiding opening up any trees. Given the complexity and
the fact that anyone is unlikely to want this, it makes sense to just
fall back to the non-bitmap case for now.

The current behavior from "rev-list --count --objects" is nonsensical:
we enumerate all of the objects except commits, but then give a count of
commits. This wasn't planned, and is just what the code happens to do.
Instead, let's give the answer the user almost certainly wanted: the
full count of objects.
Note that there are more complicated cases around cherry-marking, etc.
We'll punt on those for now, but let the user know that we can't produce
an answer (rather than giving them something useless).

There are a few operations in rev-list that are optimized for bitmaps.
Rather than having the code inline in cmd_rev_list(), let's move them

rev-list has refused to use bitmaps with pathspec limiting since
c8a70d3509 (rev-list: disable --use-bitmap-index when pruning commits,
2015-07-01). But this is true not just for rev-list, but for anyone who
calls prepare_bitmap_walk(); the code isn't equipped to handle this
case. We never noticed because the only other callers would never pass
a pathspec limiter.
But let's push the check down into prepare_bitmap_walk() anyway. That's
a more logical place for it to live, as callers shouldn't need to know
the details (and must be prepared to fall back to a regular traversal
anyway, since there might not be bitmaps in the repository).
It would also prepare us for a day where this case _is_ handled, but
that's pretty unlikely. E.g., we could use bitmaps to generate the set
of commits, and then diff each commit to see if it matches the pathspec.
That would be slightly faster than a naive traversal that actually walks
the commits. But you'd probably do better still to make use of the newer
commit-graph feature to make walking the commits very cheap.

The "--use-bitmap-index" option is usually aspirational: if we have
bitmaps and the request can be fulfilled more quickly using them we'll
do so, but otherwise fall back to a non-bitmap traversal.
The exception is object filtering, which explicitly dies if the two
options are combined. Let's convert this to the usual fallback behavior.
This is a minor convenience for now (since the caller can easily know
that --filter and --use-bitmap-index don't combine), but will become
much more useful as we start to support _some_ filters with bitmaps, but
not others.
The test infrastructure here is bigger than necessary for checking this
one small feature. But it will serve as the basis for more filtering
bitmap tests in future patches.

name_ref() is called for each ref and checks if its a better name for
the referenced commit. If that's the case it remembers it and checks if
a name based on it is better for its ancestors as well. This in done in
the the order for_each_ref() imposes on us.
That might not be optimal. If bad names happen to be encountered first
(as defined by is_better_name()), names derived from them may spread to
a lot of commits, only to be replaced by better names later. Setting
better names first can avoid that.
is_better_name() prefers tags, short distances and old references. The
distance is a measure that we need to calculate for each candidate
commit, but the other two properties are not dependent on the
relationships of commits. Sorting the refs by them should yield better
performance than the essentially random order we currently use.
And applying older references first should also help to reduce rework
due to the fact that older commits have less ancestors than newer ones.
So add all details of names to the tip table first, then sort them
to prefer tags and older references and then apply them in this order.
Here's the performance as measures by hyperfine for the Linux repo

name_rev() assigns a name to a commit and its parents and grandparents
and so on. Commits share their name string with their first parent,
which in turn does the same, recursively to the root. That saves a lot
of allocations. When a better name is found, the old name is replaced,
but its memory is not released. That leakage can become significant.
Can we release these old strings exactly once even though they are
referenced multiple times? Yes, indeed -- we can make use of the fact
that name_rev() visits the ancestors of a commit after it set a new name
for it and tries to update their names as well.
Members of the first ancestral line have the same taggerdate and
from_tag values, but a higher distance value than their child commit at
generation 0. These are the only criteria used by is_better_name().
Lower distance values are considered better, so a name that is better
for a child will also be better for its parent and grandparent etc.
That means we can free(3) an inferior name at generation 0 and rely on
name_rev() to replace all references in ancestors as well.
If we do that then we need to stop using the string pointer alone to
distinguish new empty rev_name slots from initialized ones, though, as
it technically becomes invalid after the free(3) call -- even though its
value is still different from NULL.
We can check the generation value first, as empty slots will have it
initialized to 0, and for the actual generation 0 we'll set a new valid
name right after the create_or_update_name() call that releases the
string.
For the Chromium repo, releasing superceded names reduces the memory
footprint of name-rev --all significantly. Here's the output of GNU

Time (mean ± σ): 1.534 s ± 0.006 s [User: 1.039 s, System: 0.494 s]
Range (min … max): 1.522 s … 1.542 s 10 runs
... and with this patch:
Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../chromium/src name-rev --all
Time (mean ± σ): 1.338 s ± 0.006 s [User: 1.047 s, System: 0.291 s]
Range (min … max): 1.327 s … 1.346 s 10 runs
For the Linux repo it doesn't pay off; memory usage only gets down from:
0.76user 0.03system 0:00.80elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 292848maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+44579minor)pagefaults 0swaps
... to:
0.78user 0.03system 0:00.81elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 284696maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+44892minor)pagefaults 0swaps
The runtime actually increases slightly from:
Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../linux/ name-rev --all
Time (mean ± σ): 828.8 ms ± 5.0 ms [User: 797.2 ms, System: 31.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 824.1 ms … 838.9 ms 10 runs
... to:
Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../linux/ name-rev --all
Time (mean ± σ): 847.6 ms ± 3.4 ms [User: 807.9 ms, System: 39.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 843.4 ms … 854.3 ms 10 runs
Why is that? In the Chromium repo, ca. 44000 free(3) calls in
create_or_update_name() release almost 1GB, while in the Linux repo
240000+ calls release a bit more than 5MB, so the average discarded
name is ca. 1000x longer in the latter.
Overall I think it's the right tradeoff to make, as it helps curb the
memory usage in repositories with big discarded names, and the added
overhead is small.

Leave setting the tip_name member of struct rev_name to callers of
create_or_update_name(). This avoids allocations for names that are
rejected by that function. Here's how this affects the runtime when
working with a fresh clone of Git's own repository; performance numbers
by hyperfine before:
Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../git-pristine/ name-rev --all
Time (mean ± σ): 437.8 ms ± 4.0 ms [User: 422.5 ms, System: 15.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 432.8 ms … 446.3 ms 10 runs
... and with this patch:
Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../git-pristine/ name-rev --all
Time (mean ± σ): 408.5 ms ± 1.4 ms [User: 387.2 ms, System: 21.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 407.1 ms … 411.7 ms 10 runs

We can calculate the size of new name easily and precisely. Open-code
the xstrfmt() calls and grow the buffers as needed before filling them.
This provides a surprisingly large benefit when working with the
Chromium repository; here are the numbers measured using hyperfine
before:
Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../chromium/src name-rev --all
Time (mean ± σ): 5.822 s ± 0.013 s [User: 5.304 s, System: 0.516 s]
Range (min … max): 5.803 s … 5.837 s 10 runs
... and with this patch:
Benchmark #1: ./git -C ../chromium/src name-rev --all
Time (mean ± σ): 1.527 s ± 0.003 s [User: 1.015 s, System: 0.511 s]
Range (min … max): 1.524 s … 1.535 s 10 runs
