Before computing Bloom filters, the commit-graph machinery uses
commit_gen_cmp to sort commits by generation order for improved diff
performance. 3d11275505 (commit-graph: examine commits by generation
number, 2020-03-30) claims that this sort can reduce the time spent to
compute Bloom filters by nearly half.
But since c49c82aa4c (commit: move members graph_pos, generation to a
slab, 2020-06-17), this optimization is broken, since asking for a
'commit_graph_generation()' directly returns GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY
while writing.
Not all hope is lost, though: 'commit_gen_cmp()' falls back to
comparing commits by their date when they have equal generation number,
and so since c49c82aa4c is purely a date comparison function. This
heuristic is good enough that we don't seem to loose appreciable
performance while computing Bloom filters.
Applying this patch (compared with v2.30.0) speeds up computing Bloom
filters by factors ranging from 0.40% to 5.19% on various repositories [1].
So, avoid the useless 'commit_graph_generation()' while writing by
instead accessing the slab directly. This returns the newly-computed
generation numbers, and allows us to avoid the heuristic by directly
comparing generation numbers.

Our packed_commit_list is an array of pointers to commit structs. We use
"int" for the allocation, which is 32-bit even on 64-bit platforms. This
isn't likely to overflow in practice (we're writing commit graphs, so
you'd need to actually have billions of unique commits in the
repository). But it's good practice to use size_t for allocations.

Our custom packed_oid_list data structure is really just an oid_array in
disguise. Let's switch to using the generic structure, which shortens
and simplifies the code slightly.
There's one slightly awkward part: in the old code we copied a hash
straight from the mmap'd on-disk data into the final object_id. And now
we'll copy to a temporary oid, which we'll then pass to
oid_array_append(). But this is an operation we have to do all over the
commit-graph code already, since it mostly uses object_id structs
internally. I also measured "git commit-graph --append", which triggers
this code path, and it showed no difference.

When writing a commit graph, we collect a list of object ids in an
array, which we'll eventually copy into an array of "struct commit"
pointers. Before we do that, though, we count the number of distinct
commit entries. There's a subtle bug in this step, though.
We eliminate not only duplicate oids, but also in split mode, any oids
which are not commits or which are already in a graph file. However, the
loop starts at index 1, always counting index 0 as distinct. And indeed
it can't be a duplicate, since we check for those by comparing against
the previous entry, and there isn't one for index 0. But it could be a
commit that's already in a graph file, and we'd overcount the number of
commits by 1 in that case.
That turns out not to be a problem, though. The only things we do with
the count are:
- check if our count will overflow our data structures. But the limit
there is 2^31 commits, so while this is a useful check, the
off-by-one is not likely to matter.
- pre-allocate the array of commit pointers. But over-allocating by
one isn't a problem; we'll just waste a few extra bytes.
The bug would be easy enough to fix, but we can observe that neither of
those steps is necessary.
After building the actual commit array, we'll likewise check its count
for overflow. So the extra check of the distinct commit count here is
redundant.
And likewise we use ALLOC_GROW() when building the commit array, so
there's no need to preallocate it (it's possible that doing so is
slightly more efficient, but if we care we can just optimistically
allocate one slot for each oid; I didn't bother here).
So count_distinct_commits() isn't doing anything useful. Let's just get
rid of that step.
Note that a side effect of the function was that we sorted the list of
oids, which we do rely on in copy_oids_to_commits(), since it must also
skip the duplicates. So we'll move the qsort there. I didn't copy the
"TODO" about adding more progress meters. It's actually quite hard to
make a repository large enough for this qsort would take an appreciable
amount of time, so this doesn't seem like a useful note.

When "git commit-graph" detects the same commit recorded more than
once while it is merging the layers, it used to die. The code now
ignores all but one of them and continues.
* ds/commit-graph-merging-fix:
commit-graph: don't write commit-graph when disabled
commit-graph: ignore duplicates when merging layers
The core.commitGraph config setting can be set to 'false' to prevent
parsing commits from the commit-graph file(s). This causes an issue when
trying to write with "--split" which needs to distinguish between
commits that are in the existing commit-graph layers and commits that
are not. The existing mechanism uses parse_commit() and follows by
checking if there is a 'graph_pos' that shows the commit was parsed from
the commit-graph file.
When core.commitGraph=false, we do not parse the commits from the
commit-graph and 'graph_pos' indicates that no commits are in the
existing file. The --split logic moves forward creating a new layer on
top that holds all reachable commits, then possibly merges down into
those layers, resulting in duplicate commits. The previous change makes
that merging process more robust to such a situation in case it happens
in the written commit-graph data.
The easy answer here is to avoid writing a commit-graph if reading the
commit-graph is disabled. Since the resulting commit-graph will would not
be read by subsequent Git processes. This is more natural than forcing
core.commitGraph to be true for the 'write' process.

Thomas reported [1] that a "git fetch" command was failing with an error
saying "unexpected duplicate commit id". The root cause is that they had
fetch.writeCommitGraph enabled which generates commit-graph chains, and
this instance was merging two layers that both contained the same commit
ID.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/55f8f00c-a61c-67d4-889e-a9501c596c39@virtuell-zuhause.de/
The initial assumption is that Git would not write a commit ID into a
commit-graph layer if it already exists in a lower commit-graph layer.
Somehow, this specific case did get into that situation, leading to this
error.
While unexpected, this isn't actually invalid (as long as the two layers
agree on the metadata for the commit). When we parse a commit that does
not have a graph_pos in the commit_graph_data_slab, we use binary search
in the commit-graph layers to find the commit and set graph_pos. That
position is never used again in this case. However, when we parse a
commit from the commit-graph file, we load its parents from the
commit-graph and assign graph_pos at that point. If those parents were
already parsed from the commit-graph, then nothing needs to be done.
Otherwise, this graph_pos is a valid position in the commit-graph so we
can parse the parents, when necessary.
Thus, this die() is too aggressive. The easiest thing to do would be to
ignore the duplicates.
If we only ignore the duplicates, then we will produce a commit-graph
that has identical commit IDs listed in adjacent positions. This excess
data will never be removed from the commit-graph, which could cascade
into significantly bloated file sizes.
Thankfully, we can collapse the list to erase the duplicate commit
pointers. This allows us to get the end result we want without extra
memory costs and minimal CPU time.
The root cause is due to disabling core.commitGraph, which prevents
parsing commits from the lower layers during a 'git commit-graph write
--split' command. Since we use the 'graph_pos' value to determine
whether a commit is in a lower layer, we never discover that those
commits are already in the commit-graph chain and add them to the top
layer. This layer is then merged down, creating duplicates.
The test added in t5324-split-commit-graph.sh fails without this change.
However, we still have not completely removed the need for this
duplicate check. That will come in a follow-up change.

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 first new task in the 'git maintenance' builtin is the
'commit-graph' task. This updates the commit-graph file
incrementally with the command
git commit-graph write --reachable --split
By writing an incremental commit-graph file using the "--split"
option we minimize the disruption from this operation. The default
behavior is to merge layers until the new "top" layer is less than
half the size of the layer below. This provides quick writes most
of the time, with the longer writes following a power law
distribution.
Most importantly, concurrent Git processes only look at the
commit-graph-chain file for a very short amount of time, so they
will verly likely not be holding a handle to the file when we try
to replace it. (This only matters on Windows.)
If a concurrent process reads the old commit-graph-chain file, but
our job expires some of the .graph files before they can be read,
then those processes will see a warning message (but not fail).
This could be avoided by a future update to use the --expire-time
argument when writing the commit-graph.

When 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter()' needs to compute a Bloom filter
from scratch, it looks to the default 'struct bloom_filter_settings' in
order to determine the maximum number of changed paths, number of bits
per entry, and so on.
All of these values have so far been constant, and so there was no need
to pass in a pointer from the caller (eg., the one that is stored in the
'struct write_commit_graph_context').
Start passing in a 'struct bloom_filter_settings *' instead of using the
default values to respect graph-specific settings (eg., in the case of
setting 'GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS').
In order to have an initialized value for these settings, move its

'get_bloom_filter' takes a flag to control whether it will compute a
Bloom filter if the requested one is missing. In the next patch, we'll
add yet another parameter to this method, which would force all but one
caller to specify an extra 'NULL' parameter at the end.
Instead of doing this, split 'get_bloom_filter' into two functions:
'get_bloom_filter' and 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter'. The former only
looks up a Bloom filter (and does not compute one if it's missing,
thus dropping the 'compute_if_not_present' flag). The latter does
compute missing Bloom filters, with an additional parameter to store
whether or not it needed to do so.
This simplifies many call-sites, since the majority of existing callers
to 'get_bloom_filter' do not want missing Bloom filters to be computed
(so they can drop the parameter entirely and use the simpler version of
the function).
While we're at it, instrument the new 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter()'
with counters in the 'write_commit_graph_context' struct which store
the number of filters that we did and didn't compute, as well as filters
that were truncated.
It would be nice to drop the 'compute_if_not_present' flag entirely,
since all remaining callers of 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter' pass it as
'1', but this will change in a future patch and hence cannot be removed.

Prepare for that to (at least partially) not be the case by making it a

Git uses the 'core.commitGraph' configuration value to control whether
or not the commit graph is used when parsing commits or performing a
traversal.
Now that commit-graphs can also contain a section for changed-path Bloom
filters, administrators that already have commit-graphs may find it
convenient to use those graphs without relying on their changed-path
Bloom filters. This can happen, for example, during a staged roll-out,
or in the event of an incident.
Introduce 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths' to control whether or not Bloom
filters are read. Note that this configuration is independent from both:
- 'core.commitGraph', to allow flexibility in using all parts of a
commit-graph _except_ for its Bloom filters.
- The '--changed-paths' option for 'git commit-graph write', to allow
reading and writing Bloom filters to be controlled independently.
When the variable is set, pretend as if no Bloom data was specified at
all. This avoids adding additional special-casing outside of the

Many places in the code often need a pointer to the commit-graph's
'struct bloom_filter_settings', in which case they often take the value
from the top-most commit-graph.
In the non-split case, this works as expected. In the split case,
however, things get a little tricky. Not all layers in a chain of
incremental commit-graphs are required to themselves have Bloom data,
and so whether or not some part of the code uses Bloom filters depends
entirely on whether or not the top-most level of the commit-graph chain
has Bloom filters.
This has been the behavior since Bloom filters were introduced, and has
been codified into the tests since a759bfa9ee (t4216: add end to end
tests for git log with Bloom filters, 2020-04-06). In fact, t4216.130
requires that Bloom filters are not used in exactly the case described
earlier.
There is no reason that this needs to be the case, since it is perfectly
valid for commits in an earlier layer to have Bloom filters when commits
in a newer layer do not.
Since Bloom settings are guaranteed in practice to be the same for any
layer in a chain that has Bloom data, it is sufficient to traverse the
'->base_graph' pointer until either (1) a non-null 'struct
bloom_filter_settings *' is found, or (2) until we are at the root of
the commit-graph chain.
Introduce a 'get_bloom_filter_settings()' function that does just this,
and use it instead of purely dereferencing the top-most graph's
'->bloom_filter_settings' pointer.
While we're at it, add an additional test in t5324 to guard against code
in the commit-graph writing machinery that doesn't correctly handle a
NULL 'struct bloom_filter *'.

The commit-graph format reserved a byte among the header of the file to
store a "hash version". During the SHA-256 work, this was not modified
because file formats are not necessarily intended to work across hash
versions. If a repository has SHA-256 as its hash algorithm, it
automatically up-shifts the lengths of object names in all necessary
formats.
However, since we have this byte available for adjusting the version, we
can make the file formats more obviously incompatible instead of relying
on other context from the repository.
Update the oid_version() method in commit-graph.c to add a new value, 2,
for sha-256. This automatically writes the new value in a SHA-256
repository _and_ verifies the value is correct. This is a breaking
change relative to the current 'master' branch since 092b677 (Merge
branch 'bc/sha-256-cvs-svn-updates', 2020-08-13) but it is not breaking
relative to any released version of Git.
The test impact is relatively minor: the output of 'test-tool
read-graph' lists the header information, so those instances of '1' need
to be replaced with a variable determined by GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH. A
more careful test is added that specifically creates a repository of
each type then swaps the commit-graph files. The important value here is
that the "git log" command succeeds while writing a message to stderr.

76ffbca71a (commit-graph: write Bloom filters to commit graph file,
2020-04-06) added two delayed progress lines to writing the Bloom
filter index and data chunk. This is wrong, because a single common
progress is used while writing all chunks, which is not updated while
writing these two new chunks, resulting in incomplete-looking "done"
lines:
Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 888679, done.
Computing commit changed paths Bloom filters: 100% (888678/888678), done.
Writing out commit graph in 6 passes: 66% (3554712/5332068), done.

To display a progress line while iterating over all refs,

start_delayed_progress() and stop_progress() calls around a

the wrong place, after write_commit_graph(), which does all the
commit-graph computation and writing, and has several progress lines
of its own. Consequently, that new

progress line is overwritten by the first progress line shown by
write_commit_graph(), and its final "done" line is shown last, after

Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 344786, done.

Since 37b9dcabfc (shallow.c: use '{commit,rollback}_shallow_file',
2020-04-22), Git knows how to reset stat-validity checks for the
$GIT_DIR/shallow file, allowing it to change between a shallow and
non-shallow state in the same process (e.g., in the case of 'git fetch
--unshallow').
However, when $GIT_DIR/shallow changes, Git does not alter or remove any
grafts (nor substituted parents) in memory.
This comes up in a "git fetch --unshallow" with fetch.writeCommitGraph
set to true. Ordinarily in a shallow repository (and before 37b9dcabfc,
even in this case), commit_graph_compatible() would return false,
indicating that the repository should not be used to write a
commit-graphs (since commit-graph files cannot represent a shallow
history). But since 37b9dcabfc, in an --unshallow operation that check
succeeds.
Thus even though the repository isn't shallow any longer (that is, we
have all of the objects), the in-core representation of those objects
still has munged parents at the shallow boundaries. When the
commit-graph write proceeds, we use the incorrect parentage, producing
wrong results.
There are two ways for a user to work around this: either (1) set
'fetch.writeCommitGraph' to 'false', or (2) drop the commit-graph after
unshallowing.
One way to fix this would be to reset the parsed object pool entirely
(flushing the cache and thus preventing subsequent reads from modifying
their parents) after unshallowing. That would produce a problem when
callers have a now-stale reference to the old pool, and so this patch
implements a different approach. Instead, attach a new bit to the pool,
'substituted_parent', which indicates if the repository *ever* stored a
commit which had its parents modified (i.e., the shallow boundary
prior to unshallowing).
This bit needs to be sticky because all reads subsequent to modifying a
commit's parents are unreliable when unshallowing. Modify the check in
'commit_graph_compatible' to take this bit into account, and correctly
avoid generating commit-graphs in this case, thus solving the bug.

In my experience while experimenting with new commit-graph chunks,
early versions of the corresponding new write_commit_graph_my_chunk()
functions are, sadly but not surprisingly, often buggy, and write more
or less data than they are supposed to, especially if the chunk size
is not directly proportional to the number of commits. This then
causes all kinds of issues when reading such a bogus commit-graph
file, raising the question of whether the writing or the reading part
happens to be buggy this time.
Let's catch such issues early, already when writing the commit-graph
file, and check that each write_graph_chunk_*() function wrote the
amount of data that it was expected to, and what has been encoded in
the Chunk Lookup table. Now that all commit-graph chunks are written
in a loop we can do this check in a single place for all chunks, and
any chunks added in the future will get checked as well.

In write_commit_graph_file() we now have one block of code filling the
array of 'struct chunk_info' with the IDs and sizes of chunks to be
written, and an other block of code calling the functions responsible
for writing individual chunks. In case of optional chunks like Extra
Edge List an Base Graphs List there is also a condition checking
whether that chunk is necessary/desired, and that same condition is
repeated in both blocks of code. Other, newer chunks have similar
optional conditions.
Eliminate these repeated conditions by storing the function pointers

The changed-path Bloom filters were released in v2.27.0, but have a
significant drawback. A user can opt-in to writing the changed-path
filters using the "--changed-paths" option to "git commit-graph write"
but the next write will drop the filters unless that option is
specified.
This becomes even more important when considering the interaction with
gc.writeCommitGraph (on by default) or fetch.writeCommitGraph (part of
features.experimental). These config options trigger commit-graph writes
that the user did not signal, and hence there is no --changed-paths
option available.
Allow a user that opts-in to the changed-path filters to persist the
property of "my commit-graph has changed-path filters" automatically. A
user can drop filters using the --no-changed-paths option.
In the process, we need to be extremely careful to match the Bloom
filter settings as specified by the commit-graph. This will allow future
versions of Git to customize these settings, and the version with this
change will persist those settings as commit-graphs are rewritten on
top.
Use the trace2 API to signal the settings used during the write, and
check that output in a test after manually adjusting the correct bytes
in the commit-graph file.

The get_bloom_filter() method is a bit complicated in some parts where
it does not need to be. In particular, it needs to return a NULL filter
only when compute_if_not_present is zero AND the filter data cannot be
loaded from a commit-graph file. This currently happens by accident
because the commit-graph does not load changed-path Bloom filters from
an existing commit-graph when writing a new one. This will change in a
later patch.
Also clean up some style issues while we are here.
One side-effect of returning a NULL filter is that the filters that are
reported as "too large" will now be reported as NULL insead of length
zero. This case was not properly covered before, so add a test. Further,
remote the counting of the zero-length filters from revision.c and the
trace2 logs.

The struct commit is used in many contexts. However, members
`generation` and `graph_pos` are only used for commit-graph related
operations and otherwise waste memory.
This wastage would have been more pronounced as we transition to
generation number v2, which uses 64-bit generation number instead of
current 32-bits.
As they are often accessed together, let's introduce struct
commit_graph_data and move them to a commit_graph_data slab.
While the overall test suite runs just as fast as master,
(series: 26m48s, master: 27m34s, faster by 2.87%), certain commands
like `git merge-base --is-ancestor` were slowed by 40% as discovered
by Szeder Gábor [1]. After minimizing commit-slab access, the slow down
persists but is closer to 20%.
Derrick Stolee believes the slow down is attributable to the underlying
algorithm rather than the slowness of commit-slab access [2] and we will
follow-up in a later series.

In write_commit_graph_file() one block of code fills the array of
chunk IDs, another block of code fills the array of chunk offsets,
then the chunk IDs and offsets are written to the Chunk Lookup table,
and finally a third block of code writes the actual chunks. In case
of optional chunks like Extra Edge List and Base Graphs List there is
also a condition checking whether that chunk is necessary/desired, and
that same condition is repeated in all those three blocks of code.
This patch series is about to add more optional chunks, so there would
be even more repeated conditions.
Those chunk offsets are relative to the beginning of the file, so they
inherently depend on the size of the Chunk Lookup table, which in turn
depends on the number of chunks that are to be written to the
commit-graph file. IOW at the time we set the first chunk's ID we
can't yet know its offset, because we don't yet know how many chunks
there are.
Simplify this by initially filling an array of chunk sizes, not
offsets, and calculate the offsets based on the chunk sizes only
later, while we are writing the Chunk Lookup table. This way we can
fill the arrays of chunk IDs and sizes in one go, eliminating one set
of repeated conditions.

The Chunk Lookup table stores the chunks' starting offset in the
commit-graph file, not their sizes. Consequently, the size of a chunk
can only be calculated by subtracting its offset from the offset of
the subsequent chunk (or that of the terminating label). This is
currenly implemented in a bit complicated way: as we iterate over the
entries of the Chunk Lookup table, we check the id of each chunk and
store its starting offset, then we check the id of the last seen chunk
and calculate its size using its previously saved offset. At the
moment there is only one chunk for which we calculate its size, but
this patch series will add more, and the repeated chunk id checks are
not that pretty.
Instead let's read ahead the offset of the next chunk on each
iteration, so we can calculate the size of each chunk right away,
right where we store its starting offset.

While we iterate over all entries of the Chunk Lookup table we make
sure that we don't attempt to read past the end of the mmap-ed
commit-graph file, and check in each iteration that the chunk ID and
offset we are about to read is still within the mmap-ed memory region.
However, these checks in each iteration are not really necessary,
because the number of chunks in the commit-graph file is already known
before this loop from the just parsed commit-graph header.
So let's check that the commit-graph file is large enough for all
entries in the Chunk Lookup table before we start iterating over those
entries, and drop those per-iteration checks. While at it, take into
account the size of everything that is necessary to have a valid
commit-graph file, i.e. the size of the header, the size of the
mandatory OID Fanout chunk, and the size of the signature in the
trailer as well.
Note that this necessitates the change of the error message as well,
and, consequently, have to update the 'detect incorrect chunk count'
test in 't5318-commit-graph.sh' as well.

The commit-graph file format specifies that the chunks may be in any
order. However, if the OID Lookup chunk happens to be the last one in
the file, then any command attempting to access the commit-graph data
will fail with:
fatal: invalid commit position. commit-graph is likely corrupt
In this case the error is wrong, the commit-graph file does conform to
the specification, but the parsing of the Chunk Lookup table is a bit
buggy, and leaves the field holding the number of commits in the
commit-graph zero-initialized.
The number of commits in the commit-graph is determined while parsing
the Chunk Lookup table, by dividing the size of the OID Lookup chunk
with the hash size. However, the Chunk Lookup table doesn't actually
store the size of the chunks, but it stores their starting offset.
Consequently, the size of a chunk can only be calculated by
subtracting the starting offsets of that chunk from the offset of the
subsequent chunk, or in case of the last chunk from the offset
recorded in the terminating label. This is currenly implemented in a
bit complicated way: as we iterate over the entries of the Chunk
Lookup table, we check the ID of each chunk and store its starting
offset, then we check the ID of the last seen chunk and calculate its
size using its previously saved offset if necessary (at the moment
it's only necessary for the OID Lookup chunk). Alas, while parsing
the Chunk Lookup table we only interate through the "real" chunks, but
never look at the terminating label, thus don't even check whether
it's necessary to calulate the size of the last chunk. Consequently,
if the OID Lookup chunk is the last one, then we don't calculate its
size and turn don't run the piece of code determining the number of
commits in the commit graph, leaving the field holding that number
unchanged (i.e. zero-initialized), eventually triggering the sanity
check in load_oid_from_graph().
Fix this by iterating through all entries in the Chunk Lookup table,
including the terminating label.
Note that this is the minimal fix, suitable for the maintenance track.
A better fix would be to simplify how the chunk sizes are calculated,
but that is a more invasive change, less suitable for 'maint', so that
will be done in later patches.
This additional flexibility of scanning more chunks breaks a test for
"git commit-graph verify" so alter that test to mutate the commit-graph
to have an even lower chunk count.

Since 7c5c9b9c57 (commit-graph: error out on invalid commit oids in
'write --stdin-commits', 2019-08-05), the commit-graph builtin dies on
receiving non-commit OIDs as input to '--stdin-commits'.
This behavior can be cumbersome to work around in, say, the case of
piping 'git for-each-ref' to 'git commit-graph write --stdin-commits' if
the caller does not want to cull out non-commits themselves. In this
situation, it would be ideal if 'git commit-graph write' wrote the graph
containing the inputs that did pertain to commits, and silently ignored
the remainder of the input.
Some options have been proposed to the effect of '--[no-]check-oids'
which would allow callers to have the commit-graph builtin do just that.
After some discussion, it is difficult to imagine a caller who wouldn't
want to pass '--no-check-oids', suggesting that we should get rid of the
behavior of complaining about non-commit inputs altogether.
If callers do wish to retain this behavior, they can easily work around
this change by doing the following:
git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(objecttype) %(*objecttype)' |
awk '
!/commit/ { print "not-a-commit:"$1 }
/commit/ { print $1 }
' |
git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
To make it so that valid OIDs that refer to non-existent objects are
indeed an error after loosening the error handling, perform an extra
lookup to make sure that object indeed exists before sending it to the
commit-graph internals.

While iterating references (to discover the set of commits to write to
the commit-graph with 'git commit-graph write --reachable'),
'add_ref_to_set' can save 'fill_oids_from_commits()' some time by
peeling the references beforehand.
Move peeling out of 'fill_oids_from_commits()' and into
'add_ref_to_set()' to use 'peel_ref()' instead of 'deref_tag()'. Doing
so allows the commit-graph machinery to use the peeled value from
'$GIT_DIR/packed-refs' instead of having to load and parse tags.
While we're at it, discard non-commit objects reachable from ref tips.
This would be done automatically by 'fill_oids_from_commits()', but such
functionality will be removed in a subsequent patch after the call to
'lookup_commit_reference_gently' is dropped (at which point a non-commit
object in the commits oidset will become an error).

When 'git commit-graph write --reachable' is invoked, the commit-graph
machinery calls 'for_each_ref()' to discover the set of reachable
commits.
Right now the 'add_ref_to_set' callback is not doing anything other than
adding an OID to the set of known-reachable OIDs. In a subsequent
commit, 'add_ref_to_set' will presumptively peel references. This
operation should be fast for repositories with an up-to-date
'$GIT_DIR/packed-refs', but may be slow in the general case.
So that it doesn't appear that 'git commit-graph write' is idling with
'--reachable' in the slow case, add a progress meter to provide some
output in the meantime.
In general, we don't expect a progress meter to appear at all, since
peeling references with a 'packed-refs' file is quick. If it's slow and
we do show a progress meter, the subsequent 'fill_oids_from_commits()'
will be fast, since all of the calls to
'lookup_commit_reference_gently()' will be no-ops.
Both progress meters are delayed, so it is unlikely that more than one
will appear. In either case, this intermediate state will go away in a
handful of patches, at which point there will be at most one progress
meter.
