22 * A pathological example of how this thing works.
24 * Suppose we had this commit graph, where chronologically
25 * the timestamp on the commit are A <= B <= C <= D <= E <= F
26 * and we are trying to figure out the merge base for E and F
37 * First we push E and F to list to be processed. E gets bit 1
38 * and F gets bit 2. The list becomes:
40 * list=F(2) E(1), result=empty
42 * Then we pop F, the newest commit, from the list. Its flag is 2.
43 * We scan its parents, mark them reachable from the side that F is
44 * reachable from, and push them to the list:
46 * list=E(1) D(2) A(2), result=empty
48 * Next pop E and do the same.
50 * list=D(2) B(1) A(2), result=empty
52 * Next pop D and do the same.
54 * list=C(2) B(1) A(2), result=empty
56 * Next pop C and do the same.
58 * list=B(1) A(2), result=empty
60 * Now it is B's turn. We mark its parent, C, reachable from B's side,
61 * and push it to the list:
63 * list=C(3) A(2), result=empty
65 * Now pop C and notice it has flags==3. It is placed on the result list,
66 * and the list now contains:
68 * list=A(2), result=C(3)
70 * We pop A and do the same.
72 * list=B(3), result=C(3)
74 * Next, we pop B and something very interesting happens. It has flags==3
75 * so it is also placed on the result list, and its parents are marked
76 * uninteresting, retroactively, and placed back on the list:
78 * list=C(7), result=C(7) B(3)
80 * Now, list does not have any interesting commit. So we find the newest
81 * commit from the result list that is not marked uninteresting. Which is
85 * Another pathological example how this thing can fail to mark an ancestor
86 * of a merge base as UNINTERESTING without the postprocessing phase.
102 * list A B C D E F G H
103 * G1 H2 - - - - - - 1 2
104 * H2 E1 B1 - 1 - - 1 - 1 2
105 * F2 E1 B1 A2 2 1 - - 1 2 1 2
106 * E3 B1 A2 2 1 - - 3 2 1 2
107 * B1 A2 2 1 - - 3 2 1 2
108 * C1 A2 2 1 1 - 3 2 1 2
109 * D1 A2 2 1 1 1 3 2 1 2
114 * At this point, unfortunately, everybody in the list is
115 * uninteresting, so we fail to complete the following two
116 * steps to fully marking uninteresting commits.
121 * and we end up showing E as an interesting merge base.
