Use the prio-queue data structure to implement a priority queue of
commits sorted by committer date, when handling --date-order. The
structure can also be used as a simple LIFO stack, which is a good
match for --topo-order processing.

The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a
parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are. When
traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E":
A----B----C
\
D----E
we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B
has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done.
In some applications, however, we would further want to control how
these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains
are shown.
Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and
then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output). The
"lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used
to control this behaviour. We start the traversal by knowing two
commits, C and E. While keeping in mind that we also need to
inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and
record that B needs to be inspected. By structuring the "work to be
done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next,
before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to
inspect, e.g. E.
When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered
by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing
A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together.
When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work
to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics.
After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the
next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B.
The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the
function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the
behaviour _means_.
Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible
values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and
update the existing code. The mechanical replacement rule is:
"lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE"
"lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER"

Introduce a header file to define a macro that can define the struct
type, initializer, accessor and cleanup functions to manage a commit
slab. Update the "indegree" topological sort facility using it.
To associate 32 flag bits with each commit, you can write:
define_commit_slab(flag32, uint32);
to declare "struct flag32" type, define an instance of it with
struct flag32 flags;
and initialize it by calling
init_flag32(&flags);
After that, a call to flag32_at() function
uint32 *fp = flag32_at(&flags, commit);
will return a pointer pointing at a uint32 for that commit. Once
you are done with these flags, clean them up with
clear_flag32(&flags);
Callers that cannot hard-code how wide the data to be associated
with the commit be at compile time can use the "_with_stride"
variant to initialize the slab.
Suppose you want to give one bit per existing ref, and paint commits
down to find which refs are descendants of each commit. Saying
typedef uint32 bits320[5];
define_commit_slab(flagbits, bits320);
at compile time will still limit your code with hard-coded limit,
because you may find that you have more than 320 refs at runtime.
The code can declare a commit slab "struct flagbits" like this
instead:
define_commit_slab(flagbits, unsigned char);
struct flagbits flags;
and initialize it by:
nrefs = ... count number of refs ...
init_flagbits_with_stride(&flags, (nrefs + 7) / 8);
so that
unsigned char *fp = flagbits_at(&flags, commit);
will return a pointer pointing at an array of 40 "unsigned char"s
associated with the commit, once you figure out nrefs is 320 at
runtime.

Instead of using a single "slab" and keep reallocating it as we find
that we need to deal with commits with larger values of commit->index,
make a "slab" an array of many "slab_piece"s. Each access may need
two levels of indirections, but we only need to reallocate the first
level array of pointers when we have to grow the table this way.

The "indegree" field in the commit object is only used while sorting
a list of commits in topological order, and wasting memory otherwise.
We would prefer to shrink the size of individual commit objects,
which we may have to hold thousands of in-core. We could eject
"indegree" field out from the commit object and represent it as a
dynamic table based on the decoration infrastructure, but the
decoration is meant for sparse annotation and is not a good match.
Instead, let's try a different approach.
- Assign an integer (commit->index) to each commit we keep in-core
(reuse the space of "indegree" field for it);
- When running the topological sort, allocate an array of integers
in bulk (called "slab"), use the commit->index as an index into
this array, and store the "indegree" information there.
This does _not_ reduce the memory footprint of a commit object, but
the commit->index can be used as the index to dynamically associate
commits with other kinds of information as needed.

When refactoring the merge-base computation to reduce the pairwise

that timestamp based heuristics needs each commit to have been
parsed. This caused an empty "git pull" to spend cycles, traversing

will be processed for its parents, all getting parsed), only to come

Speed up prepare_revision_walk() by adding commits without sorting
to the commit_list and at the end sort the list in one go. Thanks
to mergesort() working behind the scenes, this is a lot faster for
large numbers of commits than the current insert sort.
Also introduce and use commit_list_reverse(), to keep the ordering
of commits sharing the same commit date unchanged. That's because
commit_list_insert_by_date() sorts commits with descending date,
but adds later entries with the same date entries last, while
commit_list_insert() always inserts entries at the top. The
following commit_list_sort_by_date() keeps the order of entries
sharing the same date.
Jeff's test case, in a repo with lots of refs, was to run:
# make a new commit on top of HEAD, but not yet referenced
sha1=`git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -p HEAD </dev/null`
# now do the same "connected" test that receive-pack would do
git rev-list --objects $sha1 --not --all

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:
- The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
with an option.
- Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).
- The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
block would look like.
- When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.
A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this:

A commit header that has a multi-line payload begins with the header tag

the remaining lines have a SP inserted at the beginning.
