Replace the use of screen-scraping in the test environment
installation with simply invoking MediaWiki's command-line
installer.
The old code being deleted here relied on our own hardcoded POST
parameter names & the precise layout of MediaWiki's GUI installer at a
given version. Somewhere between [1] and now this inevitably broke.
As far as I can tell there was never a reason for this screen-scraping
hack, when [1] was introduced it hardcoded MediaWiki 1.19.0, the CLI
installer was introduced in 1.17.0. Perhaps the authors weren't aware
of it, or this code was written for an older version.
This allows us to simply delete our own template version of
LocalSettings.php, it'll instead be provided by the CLI installer.
While we're at it let's fix a few things, these changes weren't
practical to split up (I'd need to fix code I was about to mostly
delete)
* Use MediaWiki's own defaults where possible, e.g. before we'd name
the database "wikidb.sqlite", now we'll simply use whatever name
MediaWiki prefers (currently my_wiki.sqlite) by only supplying the
directory name the SQLite file will be dropped into, not the full
path.
* Put all of our database & download assets into a new "mediawiki/"
folder. This makes it easier to reason about as the current &
template "backup" database the tests keep swapping around live
next to each other.
This'll also prevent future potential breakage as there isn't a
single SQLite database. MediaWiki also creates a job queue
database and a couple of cache databases. In practice it seems we
got away with not resetting these when we reset the main database,
but it's the sort of thing that could break in the future (reset,
main store doesn't have the article, but the cache does).
* The "delete" function now only deletes the MediaWiki installation
& database, not the downloaded .tar.gz file. This makes us
friendlier to a developer on a slow connection.

The use of the encoding pragma has been a hard error since Perl
5.18 (released in 2013).
What this script really wanted to do was to decode @ARGV and write out
some files with the UTF-8 PerlIO layer. Let's just do that explicitly
instead.
This explicitly does not retain the previous UTF-8 semantics of the
script. The "encoding" pragma had all sorts of global effects (program
text being UTF-8, stdin/stdout etc.). But the only thing that was
required was decoding @ARGV and writing out UTF-8 data, which is
currently facilitated with the "open" pragma.

Using test_cmp has different semantics since the "-b" option to diff
causes it to ignore whitespace, but in these cases the use of "-b" was
just meaningless boilerplate. The desired semantics here are to
compare "git log" lines with know-good data, so we don't want to

The refs update commands can be sent to the server side in two different
ways: GPG-signed or unsigned. We should run these two operations in the
same "Finally, tell the other end!" code block, but they are seperated
by the "Clear the status for each ref" code block. This will result in
a slight performance loss, because the failed atomic push will still
perform unnecessary preparations for shallow advertise and GPG-signed
commands buffers, and user may have to be bothered by the (possible) GPG
passphrase input when there is nothing to sign.

Introduce a command-line flag to specify the maximum number of new Bloom
filters that a 'git commit-graph write' is willing to compute from
scratch.
Prior to this patch, a commit-graph write with '--changed-paths' would
compute Bloom filters for all selected commits which haven't already
been computed (i.e., by a previous commit-graph write with '--split'
such that a roll-up or replacement is performed).
This behavior can cause prohibitively-long commit-graph writes for a
variety of reasons:
* There may be lots of filters whose diffs take a long time to
generate (for example, they have close to the maximum number of
changes, diffing itself takes a long time, etc).
* Old-style commit-graphs (which encode filters with too many entries
as not having been computed at all) cause us to waste time
recomputing filters that appear to have not been computed only to
discover that they are too-large.
This can make the upper-bound of the time it takes for 'git commit-graph
write --changed-paths' to be rather unpredictable.
To make this command behave more predictably, introduce
'--max-new-filters=<n>' to allow computing at most '<n>' Bloom filters
from scratch. This lets "computing" already-known filters proceed
quickly, while bounding the number of slow tasks that Git is willing to
do.

When a changed-path Bloom filter has either zero, or more than a
certain number (commonly 512) of entries, the commit-graph machinery
encodes it as "missing". More specifically, it sets the indices adjacent
in the BIDX chunk as equal to each other to indicate a "length 0"
filter; that is, that the filter occupies zero bytes on disk.
This has heretofore been fine, since the commit-graph machinery has no
need to care about these filters with too few or too many changed paths.
Both cases act like no filter has been generated at all, and so there is
no need to store them.
In a subsequent commit, however, the commit-graph machinery will learn
to only compute Bloom filters for some commits in the current
commit-graph layer. This is a change from the current implementation
which computes Bloom filters for all commits that are in the layer being
written. Critically for this patch, only computing some of the Bloom
filters means adding a third state for length 0 Bloom filters: zero
entries, too many entries, or "hasn't been computed".
It will be important for that future patch to distinguish between "not
representable" (i.e., zero or too-many changed paths), and "hasn't been
computed". In particular, we don't want to waste time recomputing
filters that have already been computed.
To that end, change how we store Bloom filters in the "computed but not
representable" category:
- Bloom filters with no entries are stored as a single byte with all
bits low (i.e., all queries to that Bloom filter will return
"definitely not")
- Bloom filters with too many entries are stored as a single byte with
all bits set high (i.e., all queries to that Bloom filter will
return "maybe").
These rules are sufficient to not incur a behavior change by changing
the on-disk representation of these two classes. Likewise, no
specification changes are necessary for the commit-graph format, either:
- Filters that were previously empty will be recomputed and stored
according to the new rules, and
- old clients reading filters generated by new clients will interpret
the filters correctly and be none the wiser to how they were
generated.
Clients will invoke the Bloom machinery in more cases than before, but
this can be addressed by returning a NULL filter when all bits are set
high. This can be addressed in a future patch.
Note that this does increase the size of on-disk commit-graphs, but far
less than other proposals. In particular, this is generally more
efficient than storing a bitmap for which commits haven't computed their
Bloom filters. Storing a bitmap incurs a penalty of one bit per commit,
whereas storing explicit filters as above incurs a penalty of one byte
per too-large or empty commit.
In practice, these boundary commits likely occupy a small proportion of
the overall number of commits, and so the size penalty is likely smaller
than storing a bitmap for all commits.
See, for example, these relative proportions of such boundary commits

(where the above increase is determined by computing a non-split

Given that these projects are all "large" by commit count, the storage
cost by writing these filters explicitly is negligible. In the most
extreme example, android-base (which has 494,848 commits at the time of
writing) would have its commit-graph increase by a modest 68.4 KB.
Finally, a test to exercise filters which contain too many changed path
entries will be introduced in a subsequent patch.

The approximate_object_count() function tries to compute the count only
once per process. But ever since it was introduced in 8e3f52d778
(find_unique_abbrev: move logic out of get_short_sha1(), 2016-10-03), we
failed to actually set the "valid" flag, meaning we'd compute it fresh
on every call.
This turns out not to be _too_ bad, because we're only iterating through
the packed_git list, and not making any system calls. But since it may
get called for every abbreviated hash we output, even this can add up if
you have many packs.
Here are before-and-after timings for a new perf test which just asks
rev-list to abbreviate each commit hash (the test repo is linux.git,
with commit-graphs):
Test origin HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.3: rev-list (1) 28.91(28.46+0.44) 29.03(28.65+0.38) +0.4%
5303.4: abbrev-commit (1) 1.18(1.06+0.11) 1.17(1.02+0.14) -0.8%
5303.7: rev-list (50) 28.95(28.56+0.38) 29.50(29.17+0.32) +1.9%
5303.8: abbrev-commit (50) 3.67(3.56+0.10) 3.57(3.42+0.15) -2.7%
5303.11: rev-list (1000) 30.34(29.89+0.43) 30.82(30.35+0.46) +1.6%
5303.12: abbrev-commit (1000) 86.82(86.52+0.29) 77.82(77.59+0.22) -10.4%
5303.15: load 10,000 packs 0.08(0.02+0.05) 0.08(0.02+0.06) +0.0%
It doesn't help at all when we have 1 pack (5303.4), but we get a 10%
speedup when there are 1000 packs (5303.12). That's a modest speedup for
a case that's already slow and we'd hope to avoid in general (note how
slow it is even after, because we have to look in each of those packs
for abbreviations). But it's a one-line change that clearly matches the
original intent, so it seems worth doing.
The included perf test may also be useful for keeping an eye on any
regressions in the overall abbreviation code.
