makes it acceptable to do "git cmd --help" instead, and get the exact same
result.

It may be hacky, but it's simple and does the trick.

Of course, this does not help if you use one of the non-builtin commands
without using the "git" helper. Ie you won't be getting a man-page just

rev-list --bisect: limit list before bisecting.

I noticed bisect does not work well without both good and bad.
Running this script in git.git repository would give you quite
different results:

#!/bin/sh
        initial=e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290

        mid0=`git rev-list --bisect ^$initial --all`

        git rev-list $mid0 | wc -l
        git rev-list ^$mid0 --all | wc -l

        mid1=`git rev-list --bisect --all`

        git rev-list $mid1 | wc -l
        git rev-list ^$mid1 --all | wc -l

The $initial commit is the very first commit you made.  The
first midpoint bisects things evenly as designed, but the latter
does not.

The reason I got interested in this was because I was wondering
if something like the following would help people converting a
huge repository from foreign SCM, or preparing a repository to
be fetched over plain dumb HTTP only:

        #!/bin/sh

        N=4
        P=.git/objects/pack
        bottom=

        while test 0 \< $N
        do
                N=$((N-1))
                if test -z "$bottom"
                then
                        newbottom=`git rev-list --bisect --all`
                else
                        newbottom=`git rev-list --bisect ^$bottom --all`
                fi
                if test -z "$bottom"
                then
                        rev_list="$newbottom"
                elif test 0 = $N
                then
                        rev_list="^$bottom --all"
                else
                        rev_list="^$bottom $newbottom"
                fi
                p=$(git rev-list --unpacked --objects $rev_list |
                    git pack-objects $P/pack)
                git show-index <$P/pack-$p.idx | wc -l
                bottom=$newbottom
        done

The idea is to pack older half of the history to one pack, then
older half of the remaining history to another, to continue a
few times, using finer granularity as we get closer to the tip.

This may not matter, since for a truly huge history, running
bisect number of times could be quite time consuming, and we
might be better off running "git rev-list --all" once into a
temporary file, and manually pick cut-off points from the
resulting list of commits.  After all we are talking about
"approximately half" for such an usage, and older history does
not matter much.

It's not a huge deal, but it's somewhat noticeable. For the current kernel
tree, doing a full "git log" I got

ie the touched pages dropped from 8851 to 5039. For the historic kernel
archive, the numbers are 18357->11037 minor page faults.

We could/should in theory free the commits themselves, but that's really a
lot harder, since during revision traversal we may hit the same commit
twice through different children having it as a parent, even after we've
shown it once (when that happens, we'll silently ignore it next time, but
we still need the "struct commit" to know).

And as the commit message data is clearly the biggest part of the commit,
this is the really easy 60% solution.

18 years agoImplement limited context matching in git-apply.
Eric W. Biederman [Mon, 10 Apr 2006 09:33:06 +0000 (03:33 -0600)] 
Implement limited context matching in git-apply.

Ok this really should be the good version.  The option
handling has been reworked to be automation safe.

Currently to import the -mm tree I have to work around
git-apply by using patch.  Because some of Andrews
patches in quilt will only apply with fuzz.

I started out implementing a --fuzz option and then I realized
fuzz is not a very safe concept for an automated system.  What
you really want is a minimum number of context lines that must
match.  This allows policy to be set without knowing how many
lines of context a patch actually provides.   By default
the policy remains to match all provided lines of context.

Allowng git-apply to match a restricted set of context makes
it much easier to import the -mm tree into git.  I am still only
processing  1.5 to 1.6 patches a second for the 692 patches in
2.6.17-rc1-mm2 is still painful but it does help.

If I just loop through all of Andrews patches in order
and run git-apply --index -C1 I process the entire patchset
in 1m53s or about 6 patches per second.  So running
git-mailinfo, git-write-tree, git-commit-tree, and
git-update-ref everytime has a measurable impact,
and shows things can be speeded up even more.

All of these timings were taking on my poor 700Mhz Athlon
with 512MB of ram.  So people with fast machiens should
see much better performance.

When a match is found after the number of context are reduced a
warning is generated.  Since this is a rare event and possibly
dangerous this seems to make sense.  Unless you are patching
a single file the error message is a little bit terse at
the moment, but it should be easy to go back and fix.

I have also updated the documentation for git-apply to reflect
the new -C option that sets the minimum number of context
lines that must match.

tree-diff: do not assume we use only one pathspec

The way tree-diff was set up assumed we would use only one set
of pathspec during the entire life of the program.  Move the
pathspec related static variables out to diff_options structure
so that we can filter commits with one set of paths while show
the actual diffs using different set of paths.

the next commit.
