In order to compute whether objects reachable from a set of tips are all
connected, we do a revision walk with these tips as positive references
and `--not --all`. `--not --all` will cause the revision walk to load
all preexisting references as uninteresting, which can be very expensive
in repositories with many references.
Benchmarking the git-rev-list(1) command highlights that by far the most
expensive single phase is initial sorting of the input revisions: after
all references have been loaded, we first sort commits by author date.
In a real-world repository with about 2.2 million references, it makes
up about 40% of the total runtime of git-rev-list(1).
Ultimately, the connectivity check shouldn't really bother about the
order of input revisions at all. We only care whether we can actually
walk all objects until we hit the cut-off point. So sorting the input is
a complete waste of time.
Introduce a new "--unsorted-input" flag to git-rev-list(1) which will
cause it to not sort the commits and adjust the connectivity check to
always pass the flag. This results in the following speedups, executed
in a clone of gitlab-org/gitlab [1]:
Benchmark #1: git rev-list --objects --quiet --not --all --not $(cat newrev)
Time (mean ± σ): 7.639 s ± 0.065 s [User: 7.304 s, System: 0.335 s]

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:
$ git checkout HEAD -- \

t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\

The first two commits created in t6000 are done without test_tick,
meaning they use the current system clock. After that, we create one
with test_tick, which means it uses a deterministic time in the past.
The result of the "symleft flag bit is propagated down from tag" test
relies on the output order of commits from git-log, which in turn
depends on these timestamps. So this test is technically dependent on
the system clock time, though in practice it would only matter if your
system clock was set before test_tick's default time (which is in 2005).
However, let's use test_tick consistently for those early commits (and
update the expected output to match). This makes the test deterministic,
which is in turn easier to reason about and debug.
Note that there's also a fourth commit here, and it does not use
test_tick. It does have a deterministic timestamp because of the prior
use of test_tick in the script, but it will always be the same time as
the third commit. Let's use test_tick here, too, for consistency. The
matching timestamps between the third and fourth commit are not an
important part of the test.
We could also use test_commit in all of these cases, as it runs
test_tick under the hood. But it would be awkward to do so, as these
tests diverge from the usual test_commit patterns (e.g., by creating
multiple files in a single commit).

The object reachability bitmap machinery and the partial cloning
machinery were not prepared to work well together, because some
object-filtering criteria that partial clones use inherently rely
on object traversal, but the bitmap machinery is an optimization
to bypass that object traversal. There however are some cases
where they can work together, and they were taught about them.

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).
We'll test both the new feature as well as a vanilla --count of commits,
since that surprisingly doesn't seem to be covered in the existing
tests.

There's currently no robust way to tell Git that a particular option is
meant to be a revision, and not an option. So if you have a branch
"refs/heads/--foo", you cannot just say:
git rev-list --foo
You can say:
git rev-list refs/heads/--foo
But that breaks down if you don't know the refname, and in particular if
you're a script passing along a value from elsewhere. In most programs,
you can use "--" to end option parsing, like this:
some-prog -- "$revision"
But that doesn't work for the revision parser, because "--" is already
meaningful there: it separates revisions from pathspecs. So we need some
other marker to separate options from revisions.
This patch introduces "--end-of-options", which serves that purpose:
git rev-list --oneline --end-of-options "$revision"
will work regardless of what's in "$revision" (well, if you say "--" it
may fail, but it won't do something dangerous, like triggering an
unexpected option).
The name is verbose, but that's probably a good thing; this is meant to
be used for scripted invocations where readability is more important
than terseness.
One alternative would be to introduce an explicit option to mark a
revision, like:
git rev-list --oneline --revision="$revision"
That's slightly _more_ informative than this commit (because it makes
even something silly like "--" unambiguous). But the pattern of using a
separator like "--" is well established in git and in other commands,
and it makes some scripting tasks simpler like:
git rev-list --end-of-options "$@"
There's no documentation in this patch, because it will make sense to
describe the feature once it is available everywhere (and support will
be added in further patches).

Allow easier parsing by cat-file by giving rev-list an option to print
only the OID of a non-commit object without any additional information.
This is a short-term shim; later on, rev-list should be taught how to
print the types of objects it finds in a format similar to cat-file's.
Before this commit, the output from rev-list needed to be massaged
before being piped to cat-file, like so:
git rev-list --objects HEAD | cut -f 1 -d ' ' |
git cat-file --batch-check
This was especially unexpected when dealing with root trees, as an
invisible whitespace exists at the end of the OID:
git rev-list --objects --filter=tree:1 --max-count=1 HEAD |
xargs -I% echo "AA%AA"
Now, it can be piped directly, as in the added test case:
git rev-list --objects --no-object-names HEAD | git cat-file --batch-check

When a traversal sees the --indexed-objects option, it adds
all blobs and valid cache-trees from the index to the
traversal using add_index_objects_to_pending(). But that
function totally ignores its flags parameter!
That means that doing:
git rev-list --objects --indexed-objects
and
git rev-list --objects --not --indexed-objects
produce the same output, because we ignore the UNINTERESTING
flag when walking the index in the second example.
Nobody noticed because this feature was added as a way for
tools like repack to increase their coverage of reachable
objects, meaning it would only be used like the first
example above.
But since it's user facing (and because the documentation
describes it "as if the objects are listed on the command
line"), we should make sure the negative case behaves
sensibly.

When adding support for prefixing output of log and other commands using
--line-prefix, commit 660e113ce1 ("graph: add support for
--line-prefix on all graph-aware output", 2016-08-31) accidentally
broke rev-list --header output.
In order to make the output appear with a line-prefix, the flow was
changed to always use the graph subsystem for display. Unfortunately
the graph flow in rev-list did not use info->hdr_termination as it was
assumed that graph output would never need to putput NULs.
Since we now always use the graph code in order to handle the case of
line-prefix, simply replace putchar('\n') with
putchar(info->hdr_termination) which will correct this issue.
Add a test for the --header case to make sure we don't break it in the
future.

rev-list --bisect is used by git bisect, but never together with
--first-parent. Because rev-list --bisect together with --first-parent
is not handled currently, and even leads to segfaults, refuse to use
both options together.
Because this is not supported, it makes little sense to use git log
--bisect --first parent either, because refs/heads/bad is not limited to
the first parent chain.

With the previous fix 895c5ba3 (revision: do not peel tags used in
range notation, 2013-09-19), handle_revision_arg() that processes
command line arguments for the "git log" family of commands no
longer directly places the object pointed by the tag in the pending
object array when it sees a tag object. We used to place pointee
there after copying the flag bits like UNINTERESTING and
SYMMETRIC_LEFT.
This change meant that any flag that is relevant to later history
traversal must now be propagated to the pointed objects (most often
these are commits) while starting the traversal, which is partly
done by handle_commit() that is called from prepare_revision_walk().
We did propagate UNINTERESTING, but did not do so for others, most
notably SYMMETRIC_LEFT. This caused "git log --left-right v1.0..."
(where "v1.0" is a tag) to start losing the "leftness" from the
commit the tag points at.

"git rev-list --objects ^A^{tree} B^{tree}" ought to mean "I want a
list of objects inside B's tree, but please exclude the objects that
appear inside A's tree".
we see the top-level tree marked as uninteresting (i.e. ^A^{tree} in
the above example) and call mark_tree_uninteresting() on it; this
unfortunately prevents us from recursing into the tree and marking
the objects in the tree as uninteresting.
The reason why "git log ^A A" yields an empty set of commits,
i.e. we do not have a similar issue for commits, is because we call
mark_parents_uninteresting() after seeing an uninteresting commit.
The uninteresting-ness of the commit itself does not prevent its
parents from being marked as uninteresting.
Introduce mark_tree_contents_uninteresting() and structure the code
in handle_commit() in such a way that it makes it the responsibility
of the callchain leading to this function to mark commits, trees and
blobs as uninteresting, and also make it the responsibility of the
helpers called from this function to mark objects that are reachable
from them.
Note that this is a very old bug that probably dates back to the day
when "rev-list --objects" was introduced. The line to clear
tree->object.parsed at the end of mark_tree_contents_uninteresting()
can be removed when this fix is merged to the codebase after
6e454b9a (clear parsed flag when we free tree buffers, 2013-06-05).

A range notation "A..B" means exactly the same thing as what "^A B"
means, i.e. the set of commits that are reachable from B but not
from A. But the internal representation after the revision parser
parsed these two notations are subtly different.
- "rev-list ^A B" leaves A and B in the revs->pending.objects[]
array, with the former marked as UNINTERESTING and the revision
traversal machinery propagates the mark to underlying commit
objects A^0 and B^0.
- "rev-list A..B" peels tags and leaves A^0 (marked as
UNINTERESTING) and B^0 in revs->pending.objects[] array before
the traversal machinery kicks in.
This difference usually does not matter, but starts to matter when
the --objects option is used. For example, we see this:
$ git rev-list --objects v1.8.4^1..v1.8.4 | grep $(git rev-parse v1.8.4)
$ git rev-list --objects v1.8.4 ^v1.8.4^1 | grep $(git rev-parse v1.8.4)
04f013dc38 v1.8.4
With the former invocation, the revision traversal machinery never
hears about the tag v1.8.4 (it only sees the result of peeling it,
i.e. the commit v1.8.4^0), and the tag itself does not appear in the
output. The latter does send the tag object itself to the output.
Make the range notation keep the unpeeled objects and feed them to
the traversal machinery to fix this inconsistency.
