The index is read in 'worktree.c' at two points:
1.The 'validate_no_submodules' function, which checks if there are any
submodules present in the worktree.
2.The 'check_clean_worktree' function, which verifies if a worktree is
'clean', i.e., there are no untracked or modified but uncommitted files.
This is done by running the 'git status' command, and an error message
is thrown if the worktree is not clean. Given that 'git status' is
already sparse-aware, the function is also sparse-aware.
Hence we can just set the requires-full-index to false for
"git worktree".
Add tests that verify that 'git worktree' behaves correctly when the
sparse index is enabled and test to ensure the index is not expanded.
The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~20% execution time reduction for
'git worktree' using a sparse index:
(Note:the p2000 test results didn't reflect the huge speedup because of
the index reading time is minuscule comparing to the filesystem
operations.)

The index is read in 'cmd_diff_tree' at two points:
1. The first index read was added in fd66bcc31f (diff-tree: read the
index so attribute checks work in bare repositories, 2017-12-06) to deal
with reading '.gitattributes' content. 77efbb366a (attr: be careful
about sparse directories, 2021-09-08) established that, in a sparse
index, we do _not_ try to load a '.gitattributes' file from within a
sparse directory.
2. The second index access point is involved in rename detection,
specifically when reading from stdin.This was initially added in
f0c6b2a2fd ([PATCH] Optimize diff-tree -[CM]--stdin, 2005-05-27), where
'setup' was set to 'DIFF_SETUP_USE_SIZE_CACHE |DIFF_SETUP_USE_CACHE'.
That assignment was later modified to drop the'DIFF_SETUP_USE_CACHE' in
ff7fe37b05 (diff.c: move read_index() code back to the caller,
2018-08-13).However, 'DIFF_SETUP_USE_SIZE_CACHE' seems to be unused as
of 6e0b8ed6d3 (diff.c: do not use a separate "size cache"., 2007-05-07)
and nothing about 'detect_rename' otherwise indicates index usage.
Hence we can just set the requires-full-index to false for "diff-tree".
Add tests that verify that 'git diff-tree' behaves correctly when the
sparse index is enabled and test to ensure the index is not expanded.
The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~98% execution time reduction for

The on-disk reverse index that allows mapping from the pack offset

t5325: mark as leak-free
pack-write.c: plug a leak in stage_tmp_packfiles()
Back in e37d0b8730 (builtin/index-pack.c: write reverse indexes,
2021-01-25), Git learned how to read and write a pack's reverse index
from a file instead of in-memory.
A pack's reverse index is a mapping from pack position (that is, the
order that objects appear together in a ".pack") to their position in
lexical order (that is, the order that objects are listed in an ".idx"
file).
Reverse indexes are consulted often during pack-objects, as well as
during auxiliary operations that require mapping between pack offsets,
pack order, and index index.
They are useful in GitHub's infrastructure, where we have seen a
dramatic increase in performance when writing ".rev" files[1]. In
particular:
- an ~80% reduction in the time it takes to serve fetches on a popular
repository, Homebrew/homebrew-core.
- a ~60% reduction in the peak memory usage to serve fetches on that
same repository.
- a collective savings of ~35% in CPU time across all pack-objects
invocations serving fetches across all repositories in a single
datacenter.
Reverse indexes are also beneficial to end-users as well as forges. For
example, the time it takes to generate a pack containing the objects for
the 10 most recent commits in linux.git (representing a typical push) is
significantly faster when on-disk reverse indexes are available:
$ { git rev-parse HEAD && printf '^' && git rev-parse HEAD~10 } >in
$ hyperfine -L v false,true 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex={v} pack-objects --delta-base-offset --revs --stdout <in >/dev/null'
Benchmark 1: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false pack-objects --delta-base-offset --revs --stdout <in >/dev/null

2.22 ± 0.13 times faster than 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false pack-objects --delta-base-offset --revs --stdout <in >/dev/null'
The same is true of writing a pack containing the objects for the 30
most-recent commits:
$ { git rev-parse HEAD && printf '^' && git rev-parse HEAD~30 } >in

In the more than two years since e37d0b8730 was merged, Git's
implementation of on-disk reverse indexes has been thoroughly tested,
both from users enabling `pack.writeReverseIndexes`, and from GitHub's
deployment of the feature. The latter has been running without incident
for more than two years.
This patch changes Git's behavior to write on-disk reverse indexes by
default when indexing a pack, which should make the above operations
faster for everybody's Git installation after a repack.
(The previous commit explains some potential drawbacks of using on-disk
reverse indexes in certain limited circumstances, that essentially boil
down to a trade-off between time to generate, and time to access. For
those limited cases, the `pack.readReverseIndex` escape hatch can be
used).

Both 'git for-each-ref --merged=<X>' and 'git branch --merged=<X>' use
the ref-filter machinery to select references or branches (respectively)
that are reachable from a set of commits presented by one or more
--merged arguments. This happens within reach_filter(), which uses the
revision-walk machinery to walk history in a standard way.
However, the commit-reach.c file is full of custom searches that are
more efficient, especially for reachability queries that can terminate
early when reachability is discovered. Add a new
tips_reachable_from_bases() method to commit-reach.c and call it from
within reach_filter() in ref-filter.c. This affects both 'git branch'
and 'git for-each-ref' as tested in p1500-graph-walks.sh.
For the Linux kernel repository, we take an already-fast algorithm and
make it even faster:
Test HEAD~1 HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1500.5: contains: git for-each-ref --merged 0.13 0.02 -84.6%
1500.6: contains: git branch --merged 0.14 0.02 -85.7%
1500.7: contains: git tag --merged 0.15 0.03 -80.0%
(Note that we remove the iterative 'git rev-list' test from p1500
because it no longer makes sense as a comparison to 'git for-each-ref'
and would just waste time running it for these comparisons.)
The algorithm is implemented in commit-reach.c in the method
tips_reachable_from_base(). This method takes a string_list of tips and
assigns the 'util' for each item with the value 1 if the base commit can
reach those tips.
Like other reachability queries in commit-reach.c, the fastest way to
search for "can A reach B?" is to do a depth-first search up to the
generation number of B, preferring to explore first parents before later
parents. While we must walk all reachable commits up to that generation
number when the answer is "no", the depth-first search can answer "yes"
much faster than other approaches in most cases.
This search becomes trickier when there are multiple targets for the
depth-first search. The commits with lower generation number are more
likely to be within the history of the start commit, but we don't want
to waste time searching commits of low generation number if the commit
target with lowest generation number has already been found.
The trick here is to take the input commits and sort them by generation
number in ascending order. Track the index within this order as
min_generation_index. When we find a commit, if its index in the list is
equal to min_generation_index, then we can increase the generation
number boundary of our search to the next-lowest value in the list.
With this mechanism, the number of commits to search is minimized with
respect to the depth-first search heuristic. We will walk all commits up
to the minimum generation number of a commit that is _not_ reachable
from the start, but we will walk only the necessary portion of the
depth-first search for the reachable commits of lower generation.
Add extra tests for this behavior in t6600-test-reach.sh as the
interesting data shape of that repository can sometimes demonstrate
corner case bugs.

The previous change implemented the ahead_behind() method, including an
algorithm to compute the ahead/behind values for a number of commit tips
relative to a number of commit bases. Now, integrate that algorithm as
part of 'git for-each-ref' hidden behind a new format atom,
ahead-behind. This naturally extends to 'git branch' and 'git tag'
builtins, as well.
This format allows specifying multiple bases, if so desired, and all
matching references are compared against all of those bases. For this
reason, failing to read a reference provided from these atoms results in
an error.
In order to translate the ahead_behind() method information to the
format output code in ref-filter.c, we must populate arrays of
ahead_behind_count structs. In struct ref_array, we store the full array
that will be passed to ahead_behind(). In struct ref_array_item, we
store an array of pointers that point to the relvant items within the
full array. In this way, we can pull all relevant ahead/behind values
directly when formatting output for a specific item. It also ensures the
lifetime of the ahead_behind_count structs matches the time that the
array is being used.
Add specific tests of the ahead/behind counts in t6600-test-reach.sh, as
it has an interesting repository shape. In particular, its merging
strategy and its use of different commit-graphs would demonstrate over-
counting if the ahead_behind() method did not already account for that
possibility.
Also add tests for the specific for-each-ref, branch, and tag builtins.
In the case of 'git tag', there are intersting cases that happen when
some of the selected tips are not commits. This requires careful logic
around commits_nr in the second loop of filter_ahead_behind(). Also, the
test in t7004 is carefully located to avoid being dependent on the GPG
prereq. It also avoids using the test_commit helper, as that will add
ticks to the time and disrupt the expected timestamps in later tag
tests.
Also add performance tests in a new p1300-graph-walks.sh script. This
will be useful for more uses in the future, but for now compare the
ahead-behind counting algorithm in 'git for-each-ref' to the naive
implementation by running 'git rev-list --count' processes for each
input.
For the Git source code repository, the improvement is already obvious:
Test this tree
---------------------------------------------------------------
1500.2: ahead-behind counts: git for-each-ref 0.07(0.07+0.00)
1500.3: ahead-behind counts: git branch 0.07(0.06+0.00)
1500.4: ahead-behind counts: git tag 0.07(0.06+0.00)
1500.5: ahead-behind counts: git rev-list 1.32(1.04+0.27)
But the standard performance benchmark is the Linux kernel repository,
which demosntrates a significant improvement:

1500.2: ahead-behind counts: git for-each-ref 0.27(0.24+0.02)

1500.4: ahead-behind counts: git tag 0.28(0.27+0.01)
1500.5: ahead-behind counts: git rev-list 4.57(4.03+0.54)
The 'git rev-list' test exists in this change as a demonstration, but it
will be removed in the next change to avoid wasting time on this
comparison.

When UTF is enabled for a PCRE match, the corresponding flags are
added to the pcre2_compile() call, but PCRE2_UCP wasn't included.
This prevents extending the meaning of the character classes to
include those new valid characters and therefore result in failed
matches for expressions that rely on that extention, for ex:
$ git grep -P '\bÆvar'
Add PCRE2_UCP so that \w will include Æ and therefore \b could
correctly match the beginning of that word.
This has an impact on performance that has been estimated to be
between 20% to 40% and that is shown through the added performance

Both methods are fast, so the new tests in 'p0090-cache-tree.sh' must call
each tested function multiple times to ensure the reported times (to 0.01s
resolution) convey the differences between them.
The tests compare the timing of a 'test-tool cache-tree' run as a no-op (to
capture a baseline for the overhead associated with running the tool),
'cache_tree_update()', and 'prime_cache_tree()' on four scenarios:
- A completely valid cache tree
- A cache tree with 2 invalid paths
- A cache tree with 50 invalid paths
- A completely empty cache tree
Example results:
Test this tree
-----------------------------------------------------------
0090.2: no-op, clean 1.27(0.48+0.52)
0090.3: prime_cache_tree, clean 2.02(0.83+0.85)
0090.4: cache_tree_update, clean 1.30(0.49+0.54)
0090.5: no-op, invalidate 2 1.29(0.48+0.54)
0090.6: prime_cache_tree, invalidate 2 1.98(0.81+0.83)
0090.7: cache_tree_update, invalidate 2 2.12(0.94+0.86)
0090.8: no-op, invalidate 50 1.32(0.50+0.55)
0090.9: prime_cache_tree, invalidate 50 2.10(0.86+0.89)
0090.10: cache_tree_update, invalidate 50 2.35(1.14+0.90)
0090.11: no-op, empty 1.33(0.50+0.54)
0090.12: prime_cache_tree, empty 2.04(0.84+0.87)
0090.13: cache_tree_update, empty 2.51(1.27+0.92)
These timings show that, while 'cache_tree_update()' is faster when the
cache tree is completely valid, it is equal to or slower than
'prime_cache_tree()' when there are any invalid paths. Since the redundant
calls are mostly in scenarios where the cache tree will be at least
partially invalid (e.g., 'git reset --hard'), 'prime_cache_tree()' will
likely perform better than 'cache_tree_update()' in typical cases.

"git grep" learned to expand the sparse-index more lazily and on
demand in a sparse checkout.
* sy/sparse-grep:
builtin/grep.c: integrate with sparse index
Turn on sparse index and remove ensure_full_index().
Before this patch, `git-grep` utilizes the ensure_full_index() method to
expand the index and search all the entries. Because this method
requires walking all the trees and constructing the index, it is the
slow part within the whole command.
To achieve better performance, this patch uses grep_tree() to search the
sparse directory entries and get rid of the ensure_full_index() method.
Why grep_tree() is a better choice over ensure_full_index()?
1) grep_tree() is as correct as ensure_full_index(). grep_tree() looks
into every sparse-directory entry (represented by a tree) recursively
when looping over the index, and the result of doing so matches the
result of expanding the index.
2) grep_tree() utilizes pathspecs to limit the scope of searching.
ensure_full_index() always expands the index, which means it will
always walk all the trees and blobs in the repo without caring if
the user only wants a subset of the content, i.e. using a pathspec.
On the other hand, grep_tree() will only search the contents that
match the pathspec, and thus possibly walking fewer trees.
3) grep_tree() does not construct and copy back a new index, while
ensure_full_index() does. This also saves some time.
----------------
Performance test
- Summary:
p2000 tests demonstrate a ~71% execution time reduction for
`git grep --cached bogus -- "f2/f1/f1/*"` using tree-walking logic.
However, notice that this result varies depending on the pathspec
given. See below "Command used for testing" for more details.
Test HEAD~ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------
2000.78: git grep ... (full-v3) 0.35 0.39 (≈)
2000.79: git grep ... (full-v4) 0.36 0.30 (≈)
2000.80: git grep ... (sparse-v3) 0.88 0.23 (-73.8%)
2000.81: git grep ... (sparse-v4) 0.83 0.26 (-68.6%)
- Command used for testing:
git grep --cached bogus -- "f2/f1/f1/*"
The reason for specifying a pathspec is that, if we don't specify a
pathspec, then grep_tree() will walk all the trees and blobs to find the
pattern, and the time consumed doing so is not too different from using
the original ensure_full_index() method, which also spends most of the
time walking trees. However, when a pathspec is specified, this latest
logic will only walk the area of trees enclosed by the pathspec, and the
time consumed is reasonably a lot less.
Generally speaking, because the performance gain is acheived by walking
less trees, which are specified by the pathspec, the HEAD time v.s.
HEAD~ time in sparse-v[3|4], should be proportional to
"pathspec enclosed area" v.s. "all area", respectively. Namely, the
wider the <pathspec> is encompassing, the less the performance
difference between HEAD~ and HEAD, and vice versa.
That is, if we don't specify a pathspec, the performance difference [1]
is indistinguishable: both methods walk all the trees and take generally
same amount of time (even with the index construction time included for
ensure_full_index()).
[1] Performance test result without pathspec (hence walking all trees):

Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

----
Also, normalize a behavioral difference of `git-rm` under sparse-index.
See related discussion [1].
`git-rm` a sparse-directory entry within a sparse-index enabled repo
behaves differently from a sparse directory within a sparse-checkout
enabled repo.
For example, in a sparse-index repo, where 'folder1' is a
sparse-directory entry, `git rm -r --sparse folder1` provides this:
rm 'folder1/'
Whereas in a sparse-checkout repo *without* sparse-index, doing so
provides this:
rm 'folder1/0/0/0'
rm 'folder1/0/1'
rm 'folder1/a'
Because `git rm` a sparse-directory entry does not need to expand the
index, therefore we should accept the current behavior, which is faster
than "expand the sparse-directory entry to match the sparse-checkout
situation".
Modify a previous test so such difference is not considered as an error.

Add tests verifying expected 'git stash' behavior in
't1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility'. These cases establish the expected
behavior of 'git stash' in a sparse-checkout and verify consistency both
with and without a sparse index. Although no sparse index compatibility has
been integrated into 'git stash' yet, the tests are all 'expect_success' -
we don't want the cone-mode sparse-checkout behavior to change depending on
whether it is using a sparse index or not. Therefore, we expect these tests
to continue passing once sparse index is integrated with 'git stash'.
Additionally, add performance test cases for 'git stash' both with and
without untracked files. Note that, unlike the other tests in
'p2000-sparse-operations.sh', the tests added for 'stash' are combination
operations. This is done to ensure the stash/unstash is not blocked by the
modification of '$SPARSE_CONE/a' performed as part of 'test_perf_on_all'.
