* list-objects: drop --unpacked non-commit objects from resultsTaylor Blau2023-11-071-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In git-rev-list(1), we describe the `--unpacked` option as: Only useful with `--objects`; print the object IDs that are not in packs. This is true of commits, which we discard via get_commit_action(), but not of the objects they reach. So if we ask for an --objects traversal with --unpacked, we may get arbitrarily many objects which are indeed packed. I am nearly certain this behavior dates back to the introduction of `--unpacked` via 12d2a18780 ("git rev-list --unpacked" shows only unpacked commits, 2005-07-03), but I couldn't get that revision of Git to compile for me. At least as early as v2.0.0 this has been subtly broken: $ git.compile --version git version 2.0.0 $ git.compile rev-list --objects --all --unpacked 72791fe96c93f9ec5c311b8bc966ab349b3b5bbe 05713d991c18bbeef7e154f99660005311b5004d v1.0 153ed8b7719c6f5a68ce7ffc43133e95a6ac0fdb 8e4020bb5a8d8c873b25de15933e75cc0fc275df one 9200b628cf9dc883a85a7abc8d6e6730baee589c two 3e6b46e1b7e3b91acce99f6a823104c28aae0b58 unpacked.t There, only the first, third, and sixth entries are loose, with the remaining set of objects belonging to at least one pack. The implications for this are relatively benign: bare 'git repack' invocations which invoke pack-objects with --unpacked are impacted, and at worst we'll store a few extra objects that should have been excluded. Arguably changing this behavior is a backwards-incompatible change, since it alters the set of objects emitted from rev-list queries with `--objects` and `--unpacked`. But I argue that this change is still sensible, since the existing implementation deviates from clearly-written documentation. The fix here is straightforward: avoid showing any non-commit objects which are contained in packs by discarding them within list-objects.c, before they are shown to the user. Note that similar treatment for `list-objects.c::show_commit()` is not needed, since that case is already handled by `revision.c::get_commit_action()`.

* Revert "connected: do not sort input revisions"Junio C Hamano2021-11-111-31/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit f45022dc2fd692fd024f2eb41a86a66f19013d43, as this is like breakage in the traversal more likely. In a history with 10 single strand of pearls, 1-->2-->3--...->7-->8-->9-->10 asking "rev-list --unsorted-input 1 10 --not 9 8 7 6 5 4" fails to paint the bottom 1 uninteresting as the traversal stops, without completing the propagation of uninteresting bit starting at 4 down through 3 and 2 to 1.
* connected: do not sort input revisionsPatrick Steinhardt2021-08-091-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to compute whether objects reachable from a set of tips are all connected, we do a revision walk with these tips as positive references and `--not --all`. `--not --all` will cause the revision walk to load all preexisting references as uninteresting, which can be very expensive in repositories with many references. Benchmarking the git-rev-list(1) command highlights that by far the most expensive single phase is initial sorting of the input revisions: after all references have been loaded, we first sort commits by author date. In a real-world repository with about 2.2 million references, it makes up about 40% of the total runtime of git-rev-list(1). Ultimately, the connectivity check shouldn't really bother about the order of input revisions at all. We only care whether we can actually walk all objects until we hit the cut-off point. So sorting the input is a complete waste of time. Introduce a new "--unsorted-input" flag to git-rev-list(1) which will cause it to not sort the commits and adjust the connectivity check to always pass the flag. This results in the following speedups, executed in a clone of gitlab-org/gitlab [1]: Benchmark #1: git rev-list --objects --quiet --not --all --not $(cat newrev) Time (mean ± σ): 7.639 s ± 0.065 s [User: 7.304 s, System: 0.335 s] Range (min … max): 7.543 s … 7.742 s 10 runs Benchmark #2: git rev-list --unsorted-input --objects --quiet --not --all --not $newrev Time (mean ± σ): 4.995 s ± 0.044 s [User: 4.657 s, System: 0.337 s] Range (min … max): 4.909 s … 5.048 s 10 runs Summary 'git rev-list --unsorted-input --objects --quiet --not --all --not $(cat newrev)' ran 1.53 ± 0.02 times faster than 'git rev-list --objects --quiet --not --all --not $newrev' [1]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab.git.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Carefully excluding t6300, which sees independent development elsewhere at the time of writing, we use `main` as the default branch name in t6[0-3]*.

* tests: mark tests relying on the current default for `init.defaultBranch`Johannes Schindelin2020-11-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default. To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to force-set the default branch name to `master` in - all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`, - t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to initialize the default branch, - t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`, - t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also uses `master`) This trick was performed by this command: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \ t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly: $ git checkout HEAD -- \ t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \ t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \ t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \ t/t1402-check-ref-format.sh t/t1450-fsck.sh \ t/t2024-checkout-dwim.sh \ t/t2106-update-index-assume-unchanged.sh \ t/t3040-subprojects-basic.sh t/t3301-notes.sh \ t/t3308-notes-merge.sh t/t3423-rebase-reword.sh \ t/t3436-rebase-more-options.sh \ t/t4015-diff-whitespace.sh t/t4257-am-interactive.sh \ t/t5323-pack-redundant.sh t/t5401-update-hooks.sh \ t/t5511-refspec.sh t/t5526-fetch-submodules.sh \ t/t5529-push-errors.sh t/t5530-upload-pack-error.sh \ t/t5548-push-porcelain.sh \ t/t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh \ t/t5572-pull-submodule.sh t/t5608-clone-2gb.sh \ t/t5614-clone-submodules-shallow.sh \ t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \ t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were modified thusly: $ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\ GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\ export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\ ' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | t6000: use test_tick consistentlyJeff King2020-07-081-2/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first two commits created in t6000 are done without test_tick, meaning they use the current system clock. After that, we create one with test_tick, which means it uses a deterministic time in the past. The result of the "symleft flag bit is propagated down from tag" test relies on the output order of commits from git-log, which in turn depends on these timestamps. So this test is technically dependent on the system clock time, though in practice it would only matter if your system clock was set before test_tick's default time (which is in 2005). However, let's use test_tick consistently for those early commits (and update the expected output to match). This makes the test deterministic, which is in turn easier to reason about and debug. Note that there's also a fourth commit here, and it does not use test_tick. It does have a deterministic timestamp because of the prior use of test_tick in the script, but it will always be the same time as the third commit. Let's use test_tick here, too, for consistency. The matching timestamps between the third and fourth commit are not an important part of the test. We could also use test_commit in all of these cases, as it runs test_tick under the hood. But it would be awkward to do so, as these tests diverge from the usual test_commit patterns (e.g., by creating multiple files in a single commit).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current behavior from "rev-list --count --objects" is nonsensical: we enumerate all of the objects except commits, but then give a count of commits. This wasn't planned, and is just what the code happens to do. Instead, let's give the answer the user almost certainly wanted: the full count of objects. Note that there are more complicated cases around cherry-marking, etc. We'll punt on those for now, but let the user know that we can't produce an answer (rather than giving them something useless). We'll test both the new feature as well as a vanilla --count of commits, since that surprisingly doesn't seem to be covered in the existing tests.

* revision: allow --end-of-options to end option parsingJeff King2019-08-061-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's currently no robust way to tell Git that a particular option is meant to be a revision, and not an option. So if you have a branch "refs/heads/--foo", you cannot just say: git rev-list --foo You can say: git rev-list refs/heads/--foo But that breaks down if you don't know the refname, and in particular if you're a script passing along a value from elsewhere. In most programs, you can use "--" to end option parsing, like this: some-prog -- "$revision" But that doesn't work for the revision parser, because "--" is already meaningful there: it separates revisions from pathspecs. So we need some other marker to separate options from revisions. This patch introduces "--end-of-options", which serves that purpose: git rev-list --oneline --end-of-options "$revision" will work regardless of what's in "$revision" (well, if you say "--" it may fail, but it won't do something dangerous, like triggering an unexpected option). The name is verbose, but that's probably a good thing; this is meant to be used for scripted invocations where readability is more important than terseness. One alternative would be to introduce an explicit option to mark a revision, like: git rev-list --oneline --revision="$revision" That's slightly _more_ informative than this commit (because it makes even something silly like "--" unambiguous). But the pattern of using a separator like "--" is well established in git and in other commands, and it makes some scripting tasks simpler like: git rev-list --end-of-options "$@" There's no documentation in this patch, because it will make sense to describe the feature once it is available everywhere (and support will be added in further patches).

This is a short-term shim; later on, rev-list should be taught how to print the types of objects it finds in a format similar to cat-file's. Before this commit, the output from rev-list needed to be massaged before being piped to cat-file, like so: git rev-list --objects HEAD | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | git cat-file --batch-check This was especially unexpected when dealing with root trees, as an invisible whitespace exists at the end of the OID: git rev-list --objects --filter=tree:1 --max-count=1 HEAD | xargs -I% echo "AA%AA" Now, it can be piped directly, as in the added test case: git rev-list --objects --no-object-names HEAD | git cat-file --batch-check Signed-off-by: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com> Change-Id: I489bdf0a8215532e540175188883ff7541d70e1b Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

But that function totally ignores its flags parameter! That means that doing: git rev-list --objects --indexed-objects and git rev-list --objects --not --indexed-objects produce the same output, because we ignore the UNINTERESTING flag when walking the index in the second example. Nobody noticed because this feature was added as a way for tools like repack to increase their coverage of reachable objects, meaning it would only be used like the first example above. But since it's user facing (and because the documentation describes it "as if the objects are listed on the command line"), we should make sure the negative case behaves sensibly.

In order to make the output appear with a line-prefix, the flow was changed to always use the graph subsystem for display. Unfortunately the graph flow in rev-list did not use info->hdr_termination as it was assumed that graph output would never need to putput NULs. Since we now always use the graph code in order to handle the case of line-prefix, simply replace putchar('\n') with putchar(info->hdr_termination) which will correct this issue. Add a test for the --header case to make sure we don't break it in the future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the previous fix 895c5ba3 (revision: do not peel tags used in range notation, 2013-09-19), handle_revision_arg() that processes command line arguments for the "git log" family of commands no longer directly places the object pointed by the tag in the pending object array when it sees a tag object. We used to place pointee there after copying the flag bits like UNINTERESTING and SYMMETRIC_LEFT. This change meant that any flag that is relevant to later history traversal must now be propagated to the pointed objects (most often these are commits) while starting the traversal, which is partly done by handle_commit() that is called from prepare_revision_walk(). We did propagate UNINTERESTING, but did not do so for others, most notably SYMMETRIC_LEFT. This caused "git log --left-right v1.0..." (where "v1.0" is a tag) to start losing the "leftness" from the commit the tag points at. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The reason why "git log ^A A" yields an empty set of commits, i.e. we do not have a similar issue for commits, is because we call mark_parents_uninteresting() after seeing an uninteresting commit. The uninteresting-ness of the commit itself does not prevent its parents from being marked as uninteresting. Introduce mark_tree_contents_uninteresting() and structure the code in handle_commit() in such a way that it makes it the responsibility of the callchain leading to this function to mark commits, trees and blobs as uninteresting, and also make it the responsibility of the helpers called from this function to mark objects that are reachable from them. Note that this is a very old bug that probably dates back to the day when "rev-list --objects" was introduced. The line to clear tree->object.parsed at the end of mark_tree_contents_uninteresting() can be removed when this fix is merged to the codebase after 6e454b9a (clear parsed flag when we free tree buffers, 2013-06-05).

But the internal representation after the revision parser parsed these two notations are subtly different. - "rev-list ^A B" leaves A and B in the revs->pending.objects[] array, with the former marked as UNINTERESTING and the revision traversal machinery propagates the mark to underlying commit objects A^0 and B^0. - "rev-list A..B" peels tags and leaves A^0 (marked as UNINTERESTING) and B^0 in revs->pending.objects[] array before the traversal machinery kicks in. This difference usually does not matter, but starts to matter when the --objects option is used. For example, we see this: $ git rev-list --objects v1.8.4^1..v1.8.4 | grep $(git rev-parse v1.8.4) $ git rev-list --objects v1.8.4 ^v1.8.4^1 | grep $(git rev-parse v1.8.4) 04f013dc38d7512eadb915eba22efc414f18b869 v1.8.4 With the former invocation, the revision traversal machinery never hears about the tag v1.8.4 (it only sees the result of peeling it, i.e. the commit v1.8.4^0), and the tag itself does not appear in the output. The latter does send the tag object itself to the output. Make the range notation keep the unpeeled objects and feed them to the traversal machinery to fix this inconsistency.
