2016-07-20check_connected: add progress flagJeff King
Connectivity checks have to traverse the entire object graph in the worst case (e.g., a full clone or a full push). For large repositories like linux.git, this can take 30-60 seconds, during which time git may produce little or no output. Let's add the option of showing progress, which is taken care of by rev-list. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-07-20check_connected: relay errors to alternate descriptorJeff King
Unless the "quiet" flag is given, check_connected sends any errors to the stderr of the caller (because the child rev-list inherits that descriptor). However, server-side callers may want to send these over a sideband channel instead. Let's make that possible.

2016-07-20check_everything_connected: use a struct with named optionsJeff King
The number of variants of check_everything_connected has grown over the years, so that the "real" function takes several possibly-zero, possibly-NULL arguments. We hid the complexity behind some wrapper functions, but this doesn't scale well when we want to add new options. If we add more wrapper variants to handle the new options, then we can get a combinatorial explosion when those options might be used together (right now nobody wants to use both "shallow" and "transport" together, so we get by with just a few wrappers). If instead we add new parameters to each function, each of which can have a default value, then callers who want the defaults end up with confusing invocations like: check_everything_connected(fn, 0, data, -1, 0, NULL); where it is unclear which parameter is which (and every caller needs updated when we add new options). Instead, let's add a struct to hold all of the optional parameters. This is a little more verbose for the callers (who have to declare the struct and fill it in), but it makes their code much easier to follow, because every option is named as it is set (and unused options do not have to be mentioned at all). Note that we could also stick the iteration function and its callback data into the option struct, too. But since those are required for each call, by avoiding doing so, we can let very simple callers just pass "NULL" for the options and not worry about the struct at all. While we're touching each site, let's also rename the function to check_connected(). The existing name was quite long, and not all of the wrappers even used the full name.

2013-05-28clone: open a shortcut for connectivity checkNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
In order to make sure the cloned repository is good, we run "rev-list --objects --not --all $new_refs" on the repository. This is expensive on large repositories. This patch attempts to mitigate the impact in this special case. In the "good" clone case, we only have one pack. If all of the following are met, we can be sure that all objects reachable from the new refs exist, which is the intention of running "rev-list ...": - all refs point to an object in the pack - there are no dangling pointers in any object in the pack - no objects in the pack point to objects outside the pack The second and third checks can be done with the help of index-pack as a slight variation of --strict check (which introduces a new condition for the shortcut: pack transfer must be used and the number of objects large enough to call index-pack). The first is checked in check_everything_connected after we get an "ok" from index-pack. "index-pack + new checks" is still faster than the current "index-pack + rev-list", which is the whole point of this patch. If any of the conditions fail, we fall back to the good old but expensive "rev-list ..". In that case it's even more expensive because we have to pay for the new checks in index-pack. But that should only happen when the other side is either buggy or malicious.

This shortcut does not apply to unpack-objects code path either because the number of objects must be small in order to trigger that code path.
