We want to pass additional information to diffcore_rename() (or some
variant thereof) without plumbing that extra information through
diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std(). Further, since we will need to
gather additional special information related to diffs and are walking
the trees anyway in collect_merge_info(), it seems odd to have
diff_tree_oid()/diffcore_std() repeat those tree walks. And there may
be times where we can avoid traversing into a subtree in
collect_merge_info() (based on additional information at our disposal),
that the basic diff logic would be unable to take advantage of. For all
these reasons, just create the add and delete pairs ourself and then
call diffcore_rename() directly.
This change is primarily about enabling future optimizations; the
advantage of avoiding extra tree traversals is small compared to the
cost of rename detection, and the advantage of avoiding the extra tree
traversals is somewhat offset by the extra time spent in
collect_merge_info() collecting the additional data anyway. However...
For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin
performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28),
this change improves the performance as follows:

Add some timing instrumentation for both merge-ort and diffcore-rename;
I used these to measure and optimize performance in both, and several
future patch series will build on these to reduce the timings of some
select testcases.
=== Setup ===
The primary testcase I used involved rebasing a random topic in the
linux kernel (consisting of 35 patches) against an older version. I
added two variants, one where I rename a toplevel directory, and another
where I only rebase one patch instead of the whole topic. The setup is
as follows:
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
$ git branch hwmon-updates fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e
$ git branch hwmon-just-one fd8bdb23b91876ac1e624337bb88dc1dcc21d67e~34
$ git branch base 4703d9119972bf586d2cca76ec6438f819ffa30e
$ git switch -c 5.4-renames v5.4
$ git mv drivers pilots # Introduce over 26,000 renames
$ git commit -m "Rename drivers/ to pilots/"
$ git config merge.renameLimit 30000
$ git config merge.directoryRenames true
=== Testcases ===
Now with REBASE standing for either "git rebase [--merge]" (using
merge-recursive) or "test-tool fast-rebase" (using merge-ort), the
testcases are:
Testcase #1: no-renames
$ git checkout v5.4^0
$ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates
Note: technically the name is misleading; there are some renames, but
very few. Rename detection only takes about half the overall time.
Testcase #2: mega-renames
$ git checkout 5.4-renames^0
$ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-updates
Testcase #3: just-one-mega
$ git checkout 5.4-renames^0
$ REBASE --onto HEAD base hwmon-just-one
=== Timing results ===
Overall timings, using hyperfine (1 warmup run, 3 runs for mega-renames,
10 runs for the other two cases):
merge-recursive merge-ort
no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s 14.263 s ± 0.053 s
mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s 5504.231 s ± 5.150 s
just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s 158.534 s ± 0.498 s
A single re-run of each with some breakdowns:
--- no-renames ---
merge-recursive merge-ort
overall runtime: 19.302 s 14.257 s
inexact rename detection: 7.603 s 7.906 s
everything else: 11.699 s 6.351 s
--- mega-renames ---
merge-recursive merge-ort
overall runtime: 5950.195 s 5499.672 s
inexact rename detection: 5746.309 s 5487.120 s
everything else: 203.886 s 17.552 s
--- just-one-mega ---
merge-recursive merge-ort
overall runtime: 151.001 s 158.582 s
inexact rename detection: 143.448 s 157.835 s
everything else: 7.553 s 0.747 s
=== Timing observations ===
0) Maximum speedup
The "everything else" row represents the maximum speedup we could
achieve if we were to somehow infinitely parallelize inexact rename
detection, but leave everything else alone. The fact that this is so
much smaller than the real runtime (even in the case with virtually no
renames) makes it clear just how overwhelmingly large the time spent on
rename detection can be.
1) no-renames
1a) merge-ort is faster than merge-recursive, which is nice. However,
this still should not be considered good enough. Although the "merge"
backend to rebase (merge-recursive) is sometimes faster than the "apply"
backend, this is one of those cases where it is not. In fact, even
merge-ort is slower. The "apply" backend can complete this testcase in
6.940 s ± 0.485 s
which is about 2x faster than merge-ort and 3x faster than
merge-recursive. One goal of the merge-ort performance work will be to
make it faster than git-am on this (and similar) testcases.
2) mega-renames
2a) Obviously rename detection is a huge cost; it's where most the time
is spent. We need to cut that down. If we could somehow infinitely
parallelize it and drive its time to 0, the merge-recursive time would
drop to about 204s, and the merge-ort time would drop to about 17s. I
think this particular stat shows I've subtly baked a couple performance
improvements into merge-ort and into fast-rebase already.
3) just-one-mega
3a) not much to say here, it just gives some flavor for how rebasing
only one patch compares to rebasing 35.
=== Goals ===
This patch is obviously just the beginning. Here are some of my goals
that this measurement will help us achieve:
* Drive the cost of rename detection down considerably for merges
* After the above has been achieved, see if there are other slowness
factors (which would have previously been overshadowed by rename
detection costs) which we can then focus on and also optimize.
* Ensure our rebase testcase that requires little rename detection
is noticeably faster with merge-ort than with apply-based rebase.

get_provisional_directory_renames() has code to detect directories being
evenly split between different locations. However, as noted previously,
if there are no new files added to that directory that was split evenly,
our inability to determine where the directory was renamed to doesn't
matter since there are no new files to try to move into the new
location. Unfortunately, that code is unaware of whether there are new
files under the directory in question and we just ignore that, causing
us to fail t6423 test 2b but pass test 2a; turn off the error for now,
swapping which tests pass and fail.
The motivating reason for switching this off as a temporary measure is
that as we add optimizations, we'll start looking at only subsets of
renames, and subsets of renames can start switching the result we get
when this error is (wrongly) on. Once we get enough optimizations,
however, we can prevent that code from even running when there are no
new files added to the relevant directory, at which point we can revert
this commit and then both testcases 2a and 2b will pass simultaneously.

When a series of merges was performed (such as for a rebase or series of
cherry-picks), only the data structures allocated by the final merge
operation were being freed. The problem was that while picking out
pieces of merge-ort to upstream, I previously misread a certain section
of merge_start() and assumed it was associated with a later
optimization. Include that section now, which ensures that if there was
a previous merge operation, that we clear out result->priv and then
re-use it for opt->priv, and otherwise we allocate opt->priv.

As noted in commit 902c521a35 ("t6423: more involved directory rename
test", 2020-10-15), when we have a case where
* dir/subdir/ has several files
* almost all files in dir/subdir/ are renamed to folder/subdir/
* one of the files in dir/subdir/ is renamed to folder/subdir/newsubdir/
* the other side of history (that doesn't do the renames) adds a
new file to dir/subdir/
Then for the majority of the file renames, the directory rename of
dir/subdir/ -> folder/subdir/
is actually not represented that way but as
dir/ -> folder/
We also had one rename that was represented as
dir/subdir/ -> folder/subdir/newsubdir/
Now, since there's a new file in dir/subdir/, where does it go? Well,
there's only one rule for dir/subdir/, so the code previously noted that
this rule had the "majority" of the one "relevant" rename and thus
erroneously used it to place the file in folder/subdir/newsubdir/. We
really want the heavy weight associated with dir/ -> folder/ to also be
treated as dir/subdir/ -> folder/subdir/, so that we correctly place the
file in folder/subdir/.
Add a bunch of logic to make sure that we use all relevant renamings in
directory rename detection.
Note that testcase 12f of t6423 still fails after this, but it gets
further than merge-recursive does. There are some performance related
bits in that testcase (the region_enter messages) that do not yet
succeed, but the rest of the testcase works after this patch.
Subsequent patch series will fix up the performance side.

This function roughly follows the same outline as the function of the
same name from merge-recursive.c, but the code diverges in multiple
ways due to some special considerations:
* merge-ort's version needs to update opt->priv->paths with any new
paths (and opt->priv->paths points to struct conflict_infos which
track quite a bit of metadata for each path); merge-recursive's
version would directly update the index
* merge-ort requires that opt->priv->paths has any leading directories
of any relevant files also be included in the set of paths. And
due to pointer equality requirements on merged_info.directory_name,
we have to be careful how we compute and insert these.
* due to the above requirements on opt->priv->paths, merge-ort's
version starts with a long comment to explain all the special
considerations that need to be handled
* merge-ort can use the full data stored in opt->priv->paths to avoid
making expensive get_tree_entry() calls to regather the necessary
data.
* due to messages being deferred automatically in merge-ort, this is
the best place to handle conflict messages whereas in
merge-recursive.c they are deferred manually so that processing of
entries does all the printing

This is nearly a wholesale copy of compute_collisions() from
merge-recursive.c, and the logic remains the same, but it has been
tweaked slightly due to:
* using strmap.h API (instead of direct hashmaps)
* allocation/freeing of data structures were done separately in
merge_start() and clear_or_reinit_internal_opts() in an earlier
patch in this series
* there is no non_unique_new_dir data field in merge-ort; that will
be handled a different way
It does depend on two new functions, apply_dir_rename() and
check_dir_renamed() which were introduced with simple
die-not-yet-implemented shells and will be implemented in subsequent
patches.

This is modelled on the version of handle_directory_level_conflicts()
from merge-recursive.c, but is massively simplified due to the following
factors:
* strmap API provides simplifications over using direct hashmap
* we have a dirs_removed field in struct rename_info that we have an
easy way to populate from collect_merge_info(); this was already
used in compute_rename_counts() and thus we do not need to check
for condition #2.
* The removal of condition #2 by handling it earlier in the code also
obviates the need to check for condition #3 -- if both sides renamed
a directory, meaning that the directory no longer exists on either
side, then neither side could have added any new files to that
directory, and thus there are no files whose locations we need to
move due to such a directory rename.
In fact, the same logic that makes condition #3 irrelevant means
condition #1 is also irrelevant so we could drop this function.
However, it is cheap to check if both sides rename the same directory,
and doing so can save future computation. So, simply remove any
directories that both sides renamed from the list of directory renames.

In order to handle recursive merges, after merging merge-bases we need
to clear away most of the data we had built up but some of it needs to
be kept -- in particular the "output" field. Rename the function to
reflect its future change in use.
Further, since "reinitialize" means we'll be reusing the fields
immediately, take advantage of this to only partially clear maps,
leaving the hashtable allocated and pre-sized. (This may be slightly
out-of-order since the speedups aren't realized until there are far
more strmaps in use, but the patch submission process already went out
of order because of various questions and requests for strmap. Anyway,
see commit 6ccdfc2a20 ("strmap: enable faster clearing and reusing of

Implement handling of normal renames. This code replaces the following

* the code relevant to RENAME_NORMAL in process_renames()
* the RENAME_NORMAL case of process_entry()
Also, there is some shared code from merge-recursive.c for multiple
different rename cases which we will no longer need for this case (or
other rename cases):
* handle_rename_normal()
* setup_rename_conflict_info()
The consolidation of four separate codepaths into one is made possible
by a change in design: process_renames() tweaks the conflict_info
entries within opt->priv->paths such that process_entry() can then
handle all the non-rename conflict types (directory/file, modify/delete,
etc.) orthogonally. This means we're much less likely to miss special
implementation of some kind of combination of conflict types (see
commits brought in by 66c62eaec6 ("Merge branch 'en/merge-tests'",
2020-11-18), especially commit ef52778708 ("merge tests: expect improved
directory/file conflict handling in ort", 2020-10-26) for more details).
That, together with letting worktree/index updating be handled
orthogonally in the merge_switch_to_result() function, dramatically
simplifies the code for various special rename cases.
(To be fair, the code for handling normal renames wasn't all that
complicated beforehand, but it's still much simpler now.)

Implement rename/rename(2to1) and rename/add handling, i.e. a file is
renamed into a location where another file is added (with that other
file either being a plain add or itself coming from a rename). Note
that rename collisions can also have a special case stacked on top: the
file being renamed on one side of history is deleted on the other
(yielding either a rename/add/delete conflict or perhaps a
rename/rename(2to1)/delete[/delete]) conflict.
One thing to note here is that when there is a double rename, the code
in question only handles one of them at a time; a later iteration
through the loop will handle the other. After they've both been
handled, process_entry()'s normal add/add code can handle the collision.
This code replaces the following from merge-recurisve.c:
* all the 2to1 code in process_renames()
* the RENAME_TWO_FILES_TO_ONE case of process_entry()
* handle_rename_rename_2to1()
* handle_rename_add()
Also, there is some shared code from merge-recursive.c for multiple
different rename cases which we will no longer need for this case (or
other rename cases):
* handle_file_collision()
* setup_rename_conflict_info()
The consolidation of six separate codepaths into one is made possible
by a change in design: process_renames() tweaks the conflict_info
entries within opt->priv->paths such that process_entry() can then
handle all the non-rename conflict types (directory/file, modify/delete,
etc.) orthogonally. This means we're much less likely to miss special

Implement rename/delete conflicts, i.e. one side renames a file and the
other deletes the file. This code replaces the following from
merge-recurisve.c:
* the code relevant to RENAME_DELETE in process_renames()
* the RENAME_DELETE case of process_entry()
* handle_rename_delete()
Also, there is some shared code from merge-recursive.c for multiple
different rename cases which we will no longer need for this case (or
other rename cases):
* handle_change_delete()
* setup_rename_conflict_info()
The consolidation of five separate codepaths into one is made possible
by a change in design: process_renames() tweaks the conflict_info
entries within opt->priv->paths such that process_entry() can then

etc.) orthogonally. This means we're much less likely to miss special

That, together with letting worktree/index updating be handled
orthogonally in the merge_switch_to_result() function, dramatically
simplifies the code for various special rename cases.
To be fair, there is a _slight_ tweak to process_entry() here, because
rename/delete cases will also trigger the modify/delete codepath.
However, we only want a modify/delete message to be printed for a
rename/delete conflict if there is a content change in the renamed file
in addition to the rename. So process_renames() and process_entry()
aren't quite fully orthogonal, but they are pretty close.

Implement rename/rename(1to2) handling, i.e. both sides of history
renaming a file and rename it differently. This code replaces the
following from merge-recurisve.c:
* all the 1to2 code in process_renames()
* the RENAME_ONE_FILE_TO_TWO case of process_entry()
* handle_rename_rename_1to2()

orthogonally in the merge_switch_to_result() function, dramatically
simplifies the code for various special rename cases.
To be fair, there is a _slight_ tweak to process_entry() here to make
sure that the two different paths aren't marked as clean but are left in
a conflicted state. So process_renames() and process_entry() aren't
quite entirely orthogonal, but they are pretty close.

Add code which determines which kind of special rename case each rename
corresponds to, but leave the handling of each type unimplemented for
now. Future commits will implement each one.
There is some tenuous resemblance to merge-recursive's
process_renames(), but comparing the two is very unlikely to yield any
insights. merge-ort's process_renames() is a bit complex and I would
prefer if I could simplify it more, but it is far easier to grok than
merge-recursive's function of the same name in my opinion. Plus,
merge-ort handles more rename conflict types than merge-recursive does.

Based heavily on merge-recursive's get_diffpairs() function, and also
includes the necessary paired call to diff_warn_rename_limit() so that
users will be warned if merge.renameLimit is not sufficiently large for
rename detection to run.

The focus here is on adding a path_msg() which will queue up
warning/conflict/notice messages about the merge for later processing,
storing these in a pathname -> strbuf map. It might seem like a big
change, but it really just is:
* declaration of necessary map with some comments
* initialization and recording of data
* a bunch of code to iterate over the map at print/free time
* at least one caller in order to avoid an error about having an
unused function (which we provide in the form of implementing
modify/delete conflict handling).
At this stage, it is probably not clear why I am opting for delayed
output processing. There are multiple reasons:
1. Merges are supposed to abort if they would overwrite dirty changes
in the working tree. We cannot correctly determine whether changes
would be overwritten until both rename detection has occurred and
full processing of entries with the renames has finalized.
Warning/conflict/notice messages come up at intermediate codepaths
along the way, so unless we want spurious conflict/warning messages
being printed when the merge will be aborted anyway, we need to
save these messages and only print them when relevant.
2. There can be multiple messages for a single path, and we want all
messages for a give path to appear together instead of having them
grouped by conflict/warning type. This was a problem already with
merge-recursive.c but became even more important due to the
splitting apart of conflict types as discussed in the commit
message for 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with rename/delete
conflict messages", 2020-08-10)
3. Some callers might want to avoid showing the output in certain
cases, such as if the end result is a clean merge. Rebases have
typically done this.
4. Some callers might not want the output to go to stdout or even
stderr, but might want to do something else with it entirely.
For example, a --remerge-diff option to `git show` or `git log
-p` that remerges on the fly and diffs merge commits against the
remerged version would benefit from stdout/stderr not being
written to in the standard form.

This simplistic and weird-looking patch is here to facilitate future
patch submissions. Adding this stub allows rename detection code to
reference it in one patch series, while a separate patch series can
define the implementation, and then both series can merge cleanly and
work nicely together at that point.
