Change this code added in da93d12b004 (pack-objects: be incredibly
anal about stdio semantics, 2006-04-02) to use BUG() instead.
See 1a07e59c3e2 (Update messages in preparation for i18n, 2018-07-21)
for when the "BUG: " prefix was added, and [1] for background on the
Solaris behavior that prompted the exhaustive error checking in this
fgets() loop.

When constructing arguments to pass to setup_revision(), pack-objects
only frees the memory used by that array after calling
get_object_list().
Ensure that we call strvec_clear() whether or not we use the arguments
array by cleaning up whenever we exit the function (and rewriting one
early return to jump to a label which frees the memory and then
returns).
We could avoid setting this array up altogether unless we are in the
if-else block that calls get_object_list(), but setting up the argument
array is intermingled with lots of other side-effects, e.g.:
if (exclude_promisor_objects) {
use_internal_rev_list = 1;
fetch_if_missing = 0;
strvec_push(&rp, "--exclude-promisor-objects");
}
So it would be awkward to check exclude_promisor_objects twice: first to
set use_internal_rev_list and fetch_if_missing, and then again above
get_object_list() to push the relevant argument onto the array.
Instead, leave the array's construction alone and make sure to free it
unconditionally.

In preceding commits the race of renaming .idx files in place before
.rev files and other auxiliary files was fixed in pack-write.c's
finish_tmp_packfile(), builtin/repack.c's "struct exts", and
builtin/index-pack.c's final(). As noted in the change to pack-write.c
we left in place the issue of writing *.bitmap files after the *.idx,
let's fix that issue.
See 7cc8f971085 (pack-objects: implement bitmap writing, 2013-12-21)
for commentary at the time when *.bitmap was implemented about how
those files are written out, nothing in that commit contradicts what's
being done here.
Note that this commit and preceding ones only close any race condition
with *.idx files being written before their auxiliary files if we're
optimistic about our lack of fsync()-ing in this are not tripping us
over. See the thread at [1] for a rabbit hole of various discussions
about filesystem races in the face of doing and not doing fsync() (and
if doing fsync(), not doing it properly).
We may want to fsync the containing directory once after renaming the
*.idx file into place, but that is outside the scope of this series.

Split up the finish_tmp_packfile() function and use the split-up version
in pack-objects.c in preparation for moving the step of renaming the
*.idx file later as part of a function change.
Since the only other caller of finish_tmp_packfile() was in
bulk-checkin.c, and it won't be needing a change to its *.idx renaming,
provide a thin wrapper for the old function as a static function in that
file. If other callers end up needing the simpler version it could be
moved back to "pack-write.c" and "pack.h".

Refactor the renaming in finish_tmp_packfile() into a helper function.
The callers are now expected to pass a "name_buffer" ending in
"pack-OID." instead of the previous "pack-", we then append "pack",
"idx" or "rev" to it.
By doing the strbuf_setlen() in rename_tmp_packfile() we reuse the
buffer and avoid the repeated allocations we'd get if that function had
its own temporary "struct strbuf".
This approach of reusing the buffer does make the last user in
pack-object.c's write_pack_file() slightly awkward, since we needlessly
do a strbuf_setlen() before calling strbuf_release() for consistency. In
subsequent changes we'll move that bitmap writing code around, so let's
not skip the strbuf_setlen() now.
The previous strbuf_reset() idiom originated with 5889271114a
(finish_tmp_packfile():use strbuf for pathname construction,
2014-03-03), which in turn was a minimal adjustment of pre-strbuf code
added in 0e990530ae (finish_tmp_packfile(): a helper function,
2011-10-28).

This prepares the code in pack-bitmap to interpret the new multi-pack
bitmaps described in Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt, which
mostly involves converting bit positions to accommodate looking them up
in a MIDX.
Note that there are currently no writers who write multi-pack bitmaps,
and that this will be implemented in the subsequent commit. Note also
that get_midx_checksum() and get_midx_filename() are made non-static so
they can be called from pack-bitmap.c.

In the original code from 08cdfb1337 (pack-objects --keep-unreachable,
2007-09-16), we add each object to the packing list with type
`obj->type`, where `obj` comes from `lookup_unknown_object()`. Unless we
had already looked up and parsed the object, this will be `OBJ_NONE`.
That's fine, since oe_set_type() sets the type_valid bit to '0', and we
determine the real type later on.
So the only thing we need from the object lookup is access to the
`flags` field so that we can mark that we've added the object with
`OBJECT_ADDED` to avoid adding it again (we can just pass `OBJ_NONE`
directly instead of grabbing it from the object).
But add_object_entry() already rejects duplicates! This has been the
behavior since 7a979d99ba (Thin pack - create packfile with missing
delta base., 2006-02-19), but 08cdfb1337 didn't take advantage of it.
Moreover, to do the OBJECT_ADDED check, we have to do a hash lookup in
`obj_hash`.
So we can drop the lookup_unknown_object() call completely, *and* the
OBJECT_ADDED flag, too, since the spot we're touching here is the only
location that checks it.
In the end, we perform the same number of hash lookups, but with the
added bonus that we don't waste memory allocating an OBJ_NONE object (if
we were traversing, we'd need it eventually, but the whole point of this
code path is not to traverse).

This function is used to implement `pack-objects`'s `--keep-unreachable`
option, but can be simplified in a couple of ways:
- add_objects_in_unpacked_packs() iterates over all packs (and then
all packed objects) itself, but could use for_each_packed_object()
instead since the missing flags necessary were added in the previous
commit
- objects are added to an in_pack array which store (off_t, object)
tuples, and then sorted in offset order when we could iterate
objects in offset order.
There is a slight behavior change here: before we would have added
objects in sorted offset order among _all_ packs. Handing objects to
create_object_entry() in pack order for each pack (instead of
feeding objects from all packs simultaneously their offset relative
to different packs) is much more reasonable, if different than how
the code currently works.
- objects in a single pack are iterated in index order and searched
for in order to discover their offsets, which is much less efficient
than using the on-disk reverse index
Simplify the function by addressing each of the above and moving the
core of the loop into a callback function that we then pass to
for_each_packed_object() instead of open-coding the latter function
ourselves.

The set of objects covered by a bitmap must be closed under
reachability, since it must be the case that there is a valid bit
position assigned for every possible reachable object (otherwise the
bitmaps would be incomplete).
Pack bitmaps are never written from 'git repack' unless repacking
all-into-one, and so we never write non-closed bitmaps (except in the
case of partial clones where we aren't guaranteed to have all objects).
But multi-pack bitmaps change this, since it isn't known whether the
set of objects in the MIDX is closed under reachability until walking
them. Plumb through a bit that is set when a reachable object isn't
found.
As soon as a reachable object isn't found in the set of objects to
include in the bitmap, bitmap_writer_build() knows that the set is not
closed, and so it now fails gracefully.
A test is added in t0410 to trigger a bitmap write without full
reachability closure by removing local copies of some reachable objects
from a promisor remote.

Fix a segfault in the --stdin-packs option added in
339bce27f4f (builtin/pack-objects.c: add '--stdin-packs' option,
2021-02-22).
The read_packs_list_from_stdin() function didn't check that the lines
it was reading were valid packs, and thus when doing the QSORT() with
pack_mtime_cmp() we'd have a NULL "util" field. The "util" field is
used to associate the names of included/excluded packs with the
packed_git structs they correspond to.
The logic error was in assuming that we could iterate all packs and
annotate the excluded and included packs we got, as opposed to
checking the lines we got on stdin. There was a check for excluded
packs, but included packs were simply assumed to be valid.
As noted in the test we'll not report the first bad line, but whatever
line sorted first according to the string-list.c API. In this case I
think that's fine. There was further discussion of alternate
approaches in [1].
Even though we're being lazy let's assert the line we do expect to get
in the test, since whoever changes this code in the future might miss
this case, and would want to update the test and comments.

"ld" on Solaris fails to link some test helpers, which has been
worked around by reshuffling the inline function definitions from a
header file to a source file that is the only user of them.
* ab/pack-linkage-fix:
pack-objects: move static inline from a header to the sole consumer
|
|
Move the code that is only used in builtin/pack-objects.c out of
pack-objects.h.
This fixes an issue where Solaris's SunCC hasn't been able to compile
git since 483fa7f42d9 (t/helper/test-bitmap.c: initial commit,
2021-03-31).
The real origin of that issue is that in 898eba5e630 (pack-objects:
refer to delta objects by index instead of pointer, 2018-04-14)
utility functions only needed by builtin/pack-objects.c were added to
pack-objects.h. Since then the header has been used in a few other
places, but 483fa7f42d9 was the first time it was used by test helper.
Since Solaris is stricter about linking and the oe_get_size_slow()
function lives in builtin/pack-objects.c the build started failing
with:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
oe_get_size_slow t/helper/test-bitmap.o
ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to t/helper/test-tool
On other platforms this is presumably OK because the compiler and/or
linker detects that the "static inline" functions that reference
oe_get_size_slow() aren't used.
Let's solve this by moving the relevant code from pack-objects.h to
builtin/pack-objects.c. This is almost entirely a code-only move, but
because of the early macro definitions in that file referencing some
of these inline functions we need to move the definition of "static
struct packing_data to_pack" earlier, and declare these inline
functions above the macros.

A negative delta depth makes no sense, and the code is not prepared to
handle it. If passed "--depth=-1" on the command line, then this line
from break_delta_chains():
cur->depth = (total_depth--) % (depth + 1);
triggers a divide-by-zero. This is undefined behavior according to the C
standard, but on POSIX systems results in SIGFPE killing the process.
This is certainly one way to inform the use that the command was
invalid, but it's a bit friendlier to just treat it as "don't allow any
deltas", which we already do for --depth=0.

A negative window size makes no sense, and the code in find_deltas() is
not prepared to handle it. If you pass "-1", for example, we end up
generate a 0-length array of "struct unpacked", but our loop assumes it
has at least one entry in it (and we end up reading garbage memory).
We could complain to the user about this, but it's more forgiving to
just clamp it to 0, which means "do not find any deltas at all". The
0-case is already tested earlier in the script, so we'll make sure this
does the same thing.

Handling of "promisor packs" that allows certain objects to be

lookup_unknown_object(): take a repository argument
is_promisor_object(): free tree buffer after parsing

When `git repack -A -d` is run in a partial clone, `pack-objects`
is invoked twice: once to repack all promisor objects, and once to
repack all non-promisor objects. The latter `pack-objects` invocation
is with --exclude-promisor-objects and --unpack-unreachable, which
loosens all objects unused during this invocation. Unfortunately,
this includes promisor objects.
Because the -d argument to `git repack` subsequently deletes all loose
objects also in packs, these just-loosened promisor objects will be
immediately deleted. However, this extra disk churn is unnecessary in
the first place. For example, in a newly-cloned partial repo that
filters all blob objects (e.g. `--filter=blob:none`), `repack` ends up
unpacking all trees and commits into the filesystem because every
object, in this particular case, is a promisor object. Depending on
the repo size, this increases the disk usage considerably: In my copy
of the linux.git, the object directory peaked 26GB of more disk usage.
In order to avoid this extra disk churn, pass the names of the promisor
packfiles as --keep-pack arguments to the second invocation of
`pack-objects`. This informs `pack-objects` that the promisor objects
are already in a safe packfile and, therefore, do not need to be
loosened.
For testing, we need to validate whether any object was loosened.
However, the "evidence" (loosened objects) is deleted during the
process which prevents us from inspecting the object directory.
Instead, let's teach `pack-objects` to count loosened objects and
emit via trace2 thus allowing inspecting the debug events after the
process is finished. This new event is used on the added regression
test.
Lastly, add a new perf test to evaluate the performance impact
made by this changes (tested on git.git):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------
5600.3: gc 134.38(41.93+90.95) 7.80(6.72+1.35) -94.2%
For a bigger repository, such as linux.git, the improvement is
even bigger:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5600.3: gc 6833.00(918.07+3162.74) 268.79(227.02+39.18) -96.1%
These improvements are particular big because every object in the
newly-cloned partial repository is a promisor object.

We use struct object_id for the names of objects. It isn't intended to
be used for other hash values that don't name objects such as the pack
hash.
Because struct object_id will soon need to have its algorithm member
set, using it in this code path would mean that we didn't set that
member, only the hash member, which would result in a crash. For both
of these reasons, switch to using an unsigned char array of size

pack-objects: update "nr_seen" progress based on pack-reused count

When providing an object filter, it is currently impossible to also
filter provided items. E.g. when executing `git rev-list HEAD` , the
commit this reference points to will be treated as user-provided and is
thus excluded from the filtering mechanism. This makes it harder than
necessary to properly use the new `--filter=object:type` filter given
that even if the user wants to only see blobs, he'll still see commits
of provided references.
Improve this by introducing a new `--filter-provided-objects` option
to the git-rev-parse(1) command. If given, then all user-provided
references will be subject to filtering.

We could leave a wrapper that uses the_repository, but there aren't that
many calls, so we'll just convert them all. I looked briefly at each
site to see if we had a repository struct (besides the_repository) we

When serving a clone or fetch with bitmaps, after deciding which objects
need to be sent our "pack reuse" mechanism kicks in: we try to send
more-or-less verbatim a bunch of objects from the beginning of the
bitmapped packfile without even adding them to the to_pack.objects
array.
After deciding which objects will be in the "reused" portion, we update
nr_result to account for those, and then trigger display_progress() to
show the user (who is undoubtedly dazzled that we managed to enumerate
so many objects so quickly).
But then something confusing happens: the "Enumerating objects" progress
meter jumps _backwards_, counting up from zero the number of objects we
actually add into to_pack.objects.
This worked correctly once upon a time, but was broken in 5af050437a
(pack-objects: show some progress when counting kept objects,
2018-04-15), when the latter half of that progress meter switched to
using a separate nr_seen counter, rather than nr_result. Nobody noticed
for two reasons:
- prior to the pack-reuse fixes from a14aebeac3 (Merge branch
'jk/packfile-reuse-cleanup', 2020-02-14), the reuse code almost
never kicked in anyway
- the output looks _kind of_ correct. The "backwards" moment is hard
to catch, because we overwrite the old progress number with the new
one, and the larger number is displayed only for a second. So unless
you look at that exact second, you just see the much smaller value,
counting up to the number of non-reused objects (though of course if
you catch it in stderr, or look at GIT_TRACE_PACKET from a server
with bitmaps, you can see both values).
This smaller output isn't wrong per se, but isn't counting what we ever
intended to. We should give the user the whole number of objects we
considered (which, as per 5af050437a's original purpose, is already
_not_ a count of what goes into to_pack.objects). The follow-on
"Counting objects" meter shows the actual number of objects we feed into
that array.
We can easily fix this by bumping (and showing) nr_seen for the
pack-reused objects. When the included test is run without this patch,
the second pack-objects invocation produces "Enumerating objects: 1" to
show the one loose object, even though the resulting pack has hundreds
of objects in it. With it, we jump to "Enumerating objects: 674" after
deciding on reuse, and then "675" when we add in the loose object.

When writing a new pack with a bitmap, it is sometimes convenient to
indicate some reference prefixes which should receive priority when
selecting which commits to receive bitmaps.
A truly motivated caller could accomplish this by setting
'pack.islandCore', (since all commits in the core island are similarly
marked as preferred) but this requires callers to opt into using delta
islands, which they may or may not want to do.
Introduce a new multi-valued configuration, 'pack.preferBitmapTips' to
allow callers to specify a list of reference prefixes. All references
which have a prefix contained in 'pack.preferBitmapTips' will mark their
tips as "preferred" in the same way as commits are marked as preferred
for selection by 'pack.islandCore'.
The choice of the verb "prefer" is intentional: marking the NEEDS_BITMAP
flag on an object does *not* guarantee that that object will receive a
bitmap. It merely guarantees that that commit will receive a bitmap over
any *other* commit in the same window by bitmap_writer_select_commits().
The test this patch adds reflects this quirk, too. It only tests that
a commit (which didn't receive bitmaps by default) is selected for
bitmaps after changing the value of 'pack.preferBitmapTips' to include
it. Other commits may lose their bitmaps as a byproduct of how the
selection process works (bitmap_writer_select_commits() ignores the
remainder of a window after seeing a commit with the NEEDS_BITMAP flag).
This configuration will aide in selecting important references for
multi-pack bitmaps, since they do not respect the same pack.islandCore
configuration. (They could, but doing so may be confusing, since it is
packs--not bitmaps--which are influenced by the delta-islands
configuration).
In a fork network repository (one which lists all forks of a given
repository as remotes), for example, it is useful to set
pack.preferBitmapTips to 'refs/remotes/<root>/heads' and
'refs/remotes/<root>/tags', where '<root>' is an opaque identifier
referring to the repository which is at the base of the fork chain.

When 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' encounters a commit in a pack, it
marks it as a starting point of a best-effort reachability traversal
that is used to populate the name-hash of the objects listed in the
given packs.
The traversal expects that it should be able to walk the ancestors of
all commits in a pack without issue. Ordinarily this is the case, but it
is possible to having missing parents from an unreachable part of the
repository. In that case, we'd consider any missing objects in the
unreachable portion of the graph to be junk.
This should be handled gracefully: since the traversal is best-effort
(i.e., we don't strictly need to fill in all of the name-hash fields),
we should simply ignore any missing links.
This patch does that (by setting the 'ignore_missing_links' bit on the
rev_info struct), and ensures we don't regress in the future by adding a
test which demonstrates this case.
It is a little over-eager, since it will also ignore missing links in
reachable parts of the packs (which would indicate a corrupted
repository), but '--stdin-packs' is explicitly *not* about reachability.
So this step isn't making anything worse for a repository which contains
packs missing reachable objects (since we never drop objects with
'--stdin-packs').

Now that we have find_kept_pack_entry(), we don't have to manually keep
hunting through every pack to find a possible "kept" duplicate of the
object. This should be faster, assuming only a portion of your total
packs are actually kept.
Note that we have to re-order the logic a bit here; we can deal with the
disqualifying situations first (e.g., finding the object in a non-local
pack with --local), then "kept" situation(s), and then just fall back to
other "--local" conditions.
Here are the results from p5303 (measurements again taken on the
kernel):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.5: repack (1) 57.26(54.59+10.84) 57.34(54.66+10.88) +0.1%
5303.6: repack with kept (1) 57.33(54.80+10.51) 57.38(54.83+10.49) +0.1%
5303.11: repack (50) 71.54(88.57+4.84) 71.70(88.99+4.74) +0.2%
5303.12: repack with kept (50) 85.12(102.05+4.94) 72.58(89.61+4.78) -14.7%
5303.17: repack (1000) 216.87(490.79+14.57) 217.19(491.72+14.25) +0.1%
5303.18: repack with kept (1000) 665.63(938.87+15.76) 246.12(520.07+14.93) -63.0%
and the --stdin-packs timings:
5303.7: repack with --stdin-packs (1) 0.01(0.01+0.00) 0.00(0.00+0.00) -100.0%
5303.13: repack with --stdin-packs (50) 3.53(12.07+0.24) 3.43(11.75+0.24) -2.8%
5303.19: repack with --stdin-packs (1000) 195.83(371.82+8.10) 130.50(307.15+7.66) -33.4%
So our repack with an empty .keep pack is roughly as fast as one without
a .keep pack up to 50 packs. But the --stdin-packs case scales a little
better, too.
Notably, it is faster than a repack of the same size and a kept pack. It
looks at fewer objects, of course, but the penalty for looking at many
packs isn't as costly.

In an upcoming commit, 'git repack' will want to create a pack comprised
of all of the objects in some packs (the included packs) excluding any
objects in some other packs (the excluded packs).
This caller could iterate those packs themselves and feed the objects it
finds to 'git pack-objects' directly over stdin, but this approach has a
few downsides:
- It requires every caller that wants to drive 'git pack-objects' in
this way to implement pack iteration themselves. This forces the
caller to think about details like what order objects are fed to
pack-objects, which callers would likely rather not do.
- If the set of objects in included packs is large, it requires
sending a lot of data over a pipe, which is inefficient.
- The caller is forced to keep track of the excluded objects, too, and
make sure that it doesn't send any objects that appear in both
included and excluded packs.
But the biggest downside is the lack of a reachability traversal.
Because the caller passes in a list of objects directly, those objects
don't get a namehash assigned to them, which can have a negative impact
on the delta selection process, causing 'git pack-objects' to fail to
find good deltas even when they exist.
The caller could formulate a reachability traversal themselves, but the
only way to drive 'git pack-objects' in this way is to do a full
traversal, and then remove objects in the excluded packs after the
traversal is complete. This can be detrimental to callers who care
about performance, especially in repositories with many objects.
Introduce 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' which remedies these four
concerns.
'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' expects a list of pack names on stdin,
where 'pack-xyz.pack' denotes that pack as included, and
'^pack-xyz.pack' denotes it as excluded. The resulting pack includes all
objects that are present in at least one included pack, and aren't
present in any excluded pack.
To address the delta selection problem, 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs'
works as follows. First, it assembles a list of objects that it is going
to pack, as above. Then, a reachability traversal is started, whose tips
are any commits mentioned in included packs. Upon visiting an object, we
find its corresponding object_entry in the to_pack list, and set its
namehash parameter appropriately.
To avoid the traversal visiting more objects than it needs to, the
traversal is halted upon encountering an object which can be found in an
excluded pack (by marking the excluded packs as kept in-core, and
passing --no-kept-objects=in-core to the revision machinery).
This can cause the traversal to halt early, for example if an object in
an included pack is an ancestor of ones in excluded packs. But stopping
early is OK, since filling in the namehash fields of objects in the
to_pack list is only additive (i.e., having it helps the delta selection
process, but leaving it blank doesn't impact the correctness of the
resulting pack).
Even still, it is unlikely that this hurts us much in practice, since
the 'git repack --geometric' caller (which is introduced in a later
commit) marks small packs as included, and large ones as excluded.
During ordinary use, the small packs usually represent pushes after a
large repack, and so are unlikely to be ancestors of objects that
already exist in the repository.
(I found it convenient while developing this patch to have 'git
pack-objects' report the number of objects which were visited and got
their namehash fields filled in during traversal. This is also included
in the below patch via trace2 data lines).

In git-pack-objects, we iterate over all the tags if the --include-tag
option is passed on the command line. For some reason this uses
for_each_ref which is expensive if the repo has many refs. We should
use for_each_tag_ref instead.
Because the add_ref_tag callback will now only visit tags we
simplified it a bit.
The motivation for this change is that we observed performance issues
with a repository on gitlab.com that has 500,000 refs but only 2,000
tags. The fetch traffic on that repo is dominated by CI, and when we
changed CI to fetch with 'git fetch --no-tags' we saw a dramatic
change in the CPU profile of git-pack-objects. This lead us to this
particular ref walk. More details in:

The peel_ref() interface is confusing and error-prone:
- it's typically used by ref iteration callbacks that have both a
refname and oid. But since they pass only the refname, we may load
the ref value from the filesystem again. This is inefficient, but
also means we are open to a race if somebody simultaneously updates
the ref. E.g., this:
int some_ref_cb(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, ...)
{
if (!peel_ref(refname, &peeled))
printf("%s peels to %s",
oid_to_hex(oid), oid_to_hex(&peeled);
}
could print nonsense. It is correct to say "refname peels to..."
(you may see the "before" value or the "after" value, either of
which is consistent), but mentioning both oids may be mixing
before/after values.
Worse, whether this is possible depends on whether the optimization
to read from the current iterator value kicks in. So it is actually
not possible with:
for_each_ref(some_ref_cb);
but it _is_ possible with:
head_ref(some_ref_cb);
which does not use the iterator mechanism (though in practice, HEAD
should never peel to anything, so this may not be triggerable).
- it must take a fully-qualified refname for the read_ref_full() code
path to work. Yet we routinely pass it partial refnames from
callbacks to for_each_tag_ref(), etc. This happens to work when
iterating because there we do not call read_ref_full() at all, and
only use the passed refname to check if it is the same as the
iterator. But the requirements for the function parameters are quite
unclear.
Instead of taking a refname, let's instead take an oid. That fixes both
problems. It's a little funny for a "ref" function not to involve refs
at all. The key thing is that it's optimizing under the hood based on
having access to the ref iterator. So let's change the name to make it
clear why you'd want this function versus just peel_object().
There are two other directions I considered but rejected:
- we could pass the peel information into the each_ref_fn callback.
However, we don't know if the caller actually wants it or not. For
packed-refs, providing it is essentially free. But for loose refs,
we actually have to peel the object, which would be wasteful in most
cases. We could likewise pass in a flag to the callback indicating
whether the peeled information is known, but that complicates those
callbacks, as they then have to decide whether to manually peel
themselves. Plus it requires changing the interface of every
callback, whether they care about peeling or not, and there are many
of them.
- we could make a function to return the peeled value of the current
iterated ref (computing it if necessary), and BUG() otherwise. I.e.:
int peel_current_iterated_ref(struct object_id *out);
Each of the current callers is an each_ref_fn callback, so they'd
mostly be happy. But:
- we use those callbacks with functions like head_ref(), which do
not use the iteration code. So we'd need to handle the fallback
case there, anyway.
- it's possible that a caller would want to call into generic code
that sometimes is used during iteration and sometimes not. This
encapsulates the logic to do the fast thing when possible, and
fallback when necessary.
The implementation is mostly obvious, but I want to call out a few
things in the patch:
- the test-tool coverage for peel_ref() is now meaningless, as it all
collapses to a single peel_object() call (arguably they were pretty
uninteresting before; the tricky part of that function is the
fast-path we see during iteration, but these calls didn't trigger
that). I've just dropped it entirely, though note that some other
tests relied on the tags we created; I've moved that creation to the
tests where it matters.
- we no longer need to take a ref_store parameter, since we'd never
look up a ref now. We do still rely on a global "current iterator"
variable which _could_ be kept per-ref-store. But in practice this
is only useful if there are multiple recursive iterations, at which
point the more appropriate solution is probably a stack of
iterators. No caller used the actual ref-store parameter anyway
(they all call the wrapper that passes the_repository).
- the original only kicked in the optimization when the "refname"
pointer matched (i.e., not string comparison). We do likewise with
the "oid" parameter here, but fall back to doing an actual oideq()
call. This in theory lets us kick in the optimization more often,
though in practice no current caller cares. It should never be
wrong, though (peeling is a property of an object, so two refs
pointing to the same object would peel identically).
- the original took care not to touch the peeled out-parameter unless
we found something to put in it. But no caller cares about this, and
anyway, it is enforced by peel_object() itself (and even in the
optimized iterator case, that's where we eventually end up). We can
shorten the code and avoid an extra copy by just passing the
out-parameter through the stack.

Replace direct accesses to the revindex with calls to
'offset_to_pack_pos()' and 'pack_pos_to_index()'.
Since this caller already had some error checking (it can jump to the
'give_up' label if it encounters an error), we can easily check whether
or not the provided offset points to an object in the given pack. This
error checking existed prior to this patch, too, since the caller checks
whether the return value from 'find_pack_revindex()' was NULL or not.

The on-disk bitmap format has a flag to mark a bitmap to be "reused".
This is a rather curious feature, and works like this:
- a run of pack-objects would decide to mark the last 80% of the
bitmaps it generates with the reuse flag
- the next time we generate bitmaps, we'd see those reuse flags from
the last run, and mark those commits as special:
- we'd be more likely to select those commits to get bitmaps in
the new output
- when generating the bitmap for a selected commit, we'd reuse the
old bitmap as-is (rearranging the bits to match the new pack, of
course)
However, neither of these behaviors particularly makes sense.
Just because a commit happened to be bitmapped last time does not make
it a good candidate for having a bitmap this time. In particular, we may
choose bitmaps based on how recent they are in history, or whether a ref
tip points to them, and those things will change. We're better off
re-considering fresh which commits are good candidates.
Reusing the existing bitmap _is_ a reasonable thing to do to save
computation. But only reusing exact bitmaps is a weak form of this. If
we have an old bitmap for A and now want a new bitmap for its child, we
should be able to compute that only by looking at trees and that are new
to the child. But this code would consider only exact reuse (which is
perhaps why it was eager to select those commits in the first place).
Furthermore, the recent switch to the reverse-edge algorithm for
generating bitmaps dropped this optimization entirely (and yet still
performs better).
So let's do a few cleanups:
- drop the whole "reusing bitmaps" phase of generating bitmaps. It's
not helping anything, and is mostly unused code (or worse, code that
is using CPU but not doing anything useful)
- drop the use of the on-disk reuse flag to select commits to bitmap
- stop setting the on-disk reuse flag in bitmaps we generate (since
nothing respects it anymore)
We will keep a few innards of the reuse code, which will help us
implement a more capable version of the "reuse" optimization:
- simplify rebuild_existing_bitmaps() into a function that only builds
the mapping of bits between the old and new orders, but doesn't
actually convert any bitmaps
- make rebuild_bitmap() public; we'll call it lazily to convert bitmaps
as we traverse (using the mapping created above)
