2005-09-21Make object creation in http fetch a bit safer.Junio C Hamano
Unlike write_sha1_file() that tries to create the object file in a temporary location and then move it to the final location, fetch_object could have been interrupted in the middle, leaving a corrupt file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-20Fix extended short SHA1 name completionLinus Torvalds
get_sha1() would not do sha1 completion of short SHA1's when they were part of a more complex expression. So doing git-rev-parse 727132834e6be48a93c1bd6458a29d474ce7d5d5^ would work, and return 87c6aeb4efdd4355918d127a91bd0adc5a02f8ff. But using the shorthand version git-rev-list 72713^ wouldn't work.

2005-09-20[PATCH] Fix git-init-db creating crap directories.Petr Baudis
The base target directory for the templates copying was initialized to git_dir, but git_dir[len] is not zero but / at the time we do the initialization. This is not what we want for our target directory string since we pass it to mkdir(), so make it zero-terminated manually.

2005-09-18[PATCH] Improved "git add"Linus Torvalds
This fixes everybodys favourite complaint about "git add", namely that it doesn't take directories. We use "git-ls-files --others" to generate an arbitrary list of filenames, and thus also automatically honor ignore-files while we're at it. Side note: there's a lot of room for improvement here. In particular, if we have a long list of filenames (importing a big archive), this will just do a big stupid for-loop and add them one at a time. Maybe it should use generate-list | xargs -0 git-update-idex --add -- instead. Also, I think we should have a default ignore list if we don't find a .git/info/exclude file. Ignoring "*.o" and ".*" by default would probably be the right thing to do. But I think this is a good first step. Use the "-n" flag to just show the list of files to be added without adding them.

The recent safety check to trust only the commits we have made things impossibly slow and turn out to waste a lot of memory. This commit fixes it with the following improvements: - mark already scanned objects and avoid rescanning the same object again; - free the tree entries when we have scanned the tree entries; this is the same as b0d8923ec01fd91b75ab079034f89ced91500157 which reduced memory usage by rev-list; - plug memory leak from the object_list dequeuing code; - use the process_queue not just for fetching but for scanning, to make things tail recursive to avoid deep recursion; the deep recursion was especially prominent when we cloned a big pack. - avoid has_sha1_file() call when we already know we do not have that object.

2005-09-17Teach rsync transport about alternates.Junio C Hamano
For local operations and downloading and uploading via git aware protocols, use of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates is recommended on the server side for big projects that are derived from another one (like Linux kernel). However, dumb protocols and rsync transport needs to resolve this on the client end, which we did not bother doing until this week. I noticed we use "rsync -z" but most of our payload is already compressed, which was not quite right. This commit also fixes it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-09-16[PATCH] Avoid building object ref lists when not neededLinus Torvalds
The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it. However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight. So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to disable it, and use it in git-rev-list. Before: $ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l 12.28user 0.29system 0:12.57elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+26718minor)pagefaults 0swaps 59124 After this change: $ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l 10.33user 0.18system 0:10.54elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+18509minor)pagefaults 0swaps 59124 and note how the number of pages touched by git-rev-list for this particular object list has shrunk from 26,718 (104 MB) to 18,509 (72 MB). Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time), but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.

2005-09-16[PATCH] Improve git-rev-list memory usage furtherLinus Torvalds
This avoids keeping tree entries around, and free's them as it traverses the list. This avoids building up a huge memory footprint just for these small but very common allocations.

That is: Before: 42934 minor pagefaults After: 26718 minor pagefaults This is all in _addition_ to the previous fixes. It used to be ~48,000 pagefaults. That's still a honking big memory footprint, but it's about half of what it was just a day or two ago (and this is the object list for a pretty big update - almost 60,000 objects.

2005-09-15[PATCH] Re-organize "git-rev-list --objects" logicLinus Torvalds
The logic to calculate the full object list used to be very inter-twined with the logic that looked up the commits. For no good reason - it's actually a lot simpler to just do that logic as a separate pass. This improves performance a bit, and uses slightly less memory in my tests, but more importantly it makes the code simpler to work with and follow what it does. The performance win is less than I had hoped for, but I get: Before: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l 13.64user 0.42system 0:14.13elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+47947minor)pagefaults 0swaps 58945 After: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l 11.80user 0.36system 0:12.16elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+42684minor)pagefaults 0swaps 58945 ie it improved by 2 seconds, and took a 5000+ fewer pages (hey, that's 20MB out of 174MB to go). And got the same number of objects (in theory, the more expensive one might find some more shared objects to avoid. In practice it obviously doesn't). I know how to make it use _lots_ less memory, which will probably speed it up. But that's for another time, and I'd prefer to see this go in first.

2005-09-15[PATCH] Avoid wasting memory in git-rev-listLinus Torvalds
As pointed out on the list, git-rev-list can use a lot of memory. One low-hanging fruit is to free the commit buffer for commits that we parse. By default, parse_commit() will save away the buffer, since a lot of cases do want it, and re-reading it continually would be unnecessary. However, in many cases the buffer isn't actually necessary and saving it just wastes memory. We could just free the buffer ourselves, but especially in git-rev-list, we actually end up using the helper functions that automatically add parent commits to the commit lists, so we don't actually control the commit parsing directly. Instead, just make this behaviour of "parse_commit()" a global flag. Maybe this is a bit tasteless, but it's very simple, and it makes a noticable difference in memory usage. Before the change: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list v2.6.12..HEAD > /dev/null 0.26user 0.02system 0:00.28elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+3714minor)pagefaults 0swaps after the change: [torvalds@g5 linux]$ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list v2.6.12..HEAD > /dev/null 0.26user 0.00system 0:00.27elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+2433minor)pagefaults 0swaps note how the minor faults have decreased from 3714 pages to 2433 pages.
