builtin/commit-graph.c: introduce '--max-new-filters=<n>'
Introduce a command-line flag to specify the maximum number of new Bloom
filters that a 'git commit-graph write' is willing to compute from
scratch.
Prior to this patch, a commit-graph write with '--changed-paths' would
compute Bloom filters for all selected commits which haven't already
been computed (i.e., by a previous commit-graph write with '--split'
such that a roll-up or replacement is performed).
This behavior can cause prohibitively-long commit-graph writes for a
variety of reasons:
* There may be lots of filters whose diffs take a long time to
generate (for example, they have close to the maximum number of
changes, diffing itself takes a long time, etc).
* Old-style commit-graphs (which encode filters with too many entries
as not having been computed at all) cause us to waste time
recomputing filters that appear to have not been computed only to
discover that they are too-large.
This can make the upper-bound of the time it takes for 'git commit-graph
write --changed-paths' to be rather unpredictable.
To make this command behave more predictably, introduce
'--max-new-filters=<n>' to allow computing at most '<n>' Bloom filters
from scratch. This lets "computing" already-known filters proceed
quickly, while bounding the number of slow tasks that Git is willing to
do.

bloom: encode out-of-bounds filters as non-empty
When a changed-path Bloom filter has either zero, or more than a
certain number (commonly 512) of entries, the commit-graph machinery
encodes it as "missing". More specifically, it sets the indices adjacent
in the BIDX chunk as equal to each other to indicate a "length 0"
filter; that is, that the filter occupies zero bytes on disk.
This has heretofore been fine, since the commit-graph machinery has no
need to care about these filters with too few or too many changed paths.
Both cases act like no filter has been generated at all, and so there is
no need to store them.
In a subsequent commit, however, the commit-graph machinery will learn
to only compute Bloom filters for some commits in the current
commit-graph layer. This is a change from the current implementation
which computes Bloom filters for all commits that are in the layer being
written. Critically for this patch, only computing some of the Bloom
filters means adding a third state for length 0 Bloom filters: zero
entries, too many entries, or "hasn't been computed".
It will be important for that future patch to distinguish between "not
representable" (i.e., zero or too-many changed paths), and "hasn't been
computed". In particular, we don't want to waste time recomputing
filters that have already been computed.
To that end, change how we store Bloom filters in the "computed but not
representable" category:
- Bloom filters with no entries are stored as a single byte with all
bits low (i.e., all queries to that Bloom filter will return
"definitely not")
- Bloom filters with too many entries are stored as a single byte with
all bits set high (i.e., all queries to that Bloom filter will
return "maybe").
These rules are sufficient to not incur a behavior change by changing
the on-disk representation of these two classes. Likewise, no
specification changes are necessary for the commit-graph format, either:
- Filters that were previously empty will be recomputed and stored
according to the new rules, and
- old clients reading filters generated by new clients will interpret
the filters correctly and be none the wiser to how they were
generated.
Clients will invoke the Bloom machinery in more cases than before, but
this can be addressed by returning a NULL filter when all bits are set
high. This can be addressed in a future patch.
Note that this does increase the size of on-disk commit-graphs, but far
less than other proposals. In particular, this is generally more
efficient than storing a bitmap for which commits haven't computed their
Bloom filters. Storing a bitmap incurs a penalty of one bit per commit,
whereas storing explicit filters as above incurs a penalty of one byte
per too-large or empty commit.
In practice, these boundary commits likely occupy a small proportion of
the overall number of commits, and so the size penalty is likely smaller
than storing a bitmap for all commits.
See, for example, these relative proportions of such boundary commits

bloom/diff: properly short-circuit on max_changes
Commit
e3696980 (diff: halt tree-diff early after max_changes,
2020-03-30) intended to create a mechanism to short-circuit a diff
calculation after a certain number of paths were modified. By
incrementing a "num_changes" counter throughout the recursive
ll_diff_tree_paths(), this was supposed to match the number of changes
that would be written into the changed-path Bloom filters.
Unfortunately, this was not implemented correctly and instead misses
simple cases like file modifications. This then does not stop very
large changed-path filters from being written (unless they add or remove
many files).
To start, change the implementation in ll_diff_tree_paths() to instead
use the global diff_queue_diff struct's 'nr' member as the count. This
is a way to simplify the logic instead of making more mistakes in the
complicated diff code.
This has a drawback: the diff_queue_diff struct only lists the paths
corresponding to blob changes, not their leading directories. Thus,
get_or_compute_bloom_filter() needs an additional check to see if the
hashmap with the leading directories becomes too large.
One reason why this was not caught by test cases was that the test in
t4216-log-bloom.sh that was supposed to check this "too many changes"
condition only checked this on the initial commit of a repository. The
old logic counted these values correctly. Update this test in a few
ways:
1. Use GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS to reduce the limit,
allowing smaller commits to engage with this logic.
2. Create several interesting cases of edits, adds, removes, and mode
changes (in the second commit). By testing both sides of the
inequality with the *_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS variable, we can see that
the count is exactly correct, so none of these changes are missed
or over-counted.
3. Use the trace2 data value filter_found_large to verify that these
commits are on the correct side of the limit.
Another way to verify the behavior is correct is through performance
tests. By testing on my local copies of the Git repository and the Linux
kernel repository, I could measure the effect of these short-circuits
when computing a fresh commit-graph file with changed-path Bloom filters
using the command
GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS=N time \
git commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths
and reporting the wall time and resulting commit-graph size.
For Git, the results are
| | N=1 | N=10 | N=512 |
|--------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
| HEAD~1 | 10.90s 9.18MB | 11.11s 9.34MB | 11.31s 9.35MB |
| HEAD | 9.21s 8.62MB | 11.11s 9.29MB | 11.29s 9.34MB |
For Linux, the results are
| | N=1 | N=20 | N=512 |
|--------|----------------|---------------|---------------|
| HEAD~1 | 61.28s 64.3MB | 76.9s 72.6MB | 77.6s 72.6MB |
| HEAD | 49.44s 56.3MB | 68.7s 65.9MB | 69.2s 65.9MB |
Naturally, the improvement becomes much less as the limit grows, as
fewer commits satisfy the short-circuit.

bloom: split 'get_bloom_filter()' in two
'get_bloom_filter' takes a flag to control whether it will compute a
Bloom filter if the requested one is missing. In the next patch, we'll
add yet another parameter to this method, which would force all but one
caller to specify an extra 'NULL' parameter at the end.
Instead of doing this, split 'get_bloom_filter' into two functions:
'get_bloom_filter' and 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter'. The former only
looks up a Bloom filter (and does not compute one if it's missing,
thus dropping the 'compute_if_not_present' flag). The latter does
compute missing Bloom filters, with an additional parameter to store
whether or not it needed to do so.
This simplifies many call-sites, since the majority of existing callers
to 'get_bloom_filter' do not want missing Bloom filters to be computed
(so they can drop the parameter entirely and use the simpler version of
the function).
While we're at it, instrument the new 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter()'
with counters in the 'write_commit_graph_context' struct which store
the number of filters that we did and didn't compute, as well as filters
that were truncated.
It would be nice to drop the 'compute_if_not_present' flag entirely,
since all remaining callers of 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter' pass it as
'1', but this will change in a future patch and hence cannot be removed.

commit-graph: respect 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths'
Git uses the 'core.commitGraph' configuration value to control whether

Now that commit-graphs can also contain a section for changed-path Bloom
filters, administrators that already have commit-graphs may find it
convenient to use those graphs without relying on their changed-path
Bloom filters. This can happen, for example, during a staged roll-out,
or in the event of an incident.
Introduce 'commitGraph.readChangedPaths' to control whether or not Bloom
filters are read. Note that this configuration is independent from both:
- 'core.commitGraph', to allow flexibility in using all parts of a
commit-graph _except_ for its Bloom filters.
- The '--changed-paths' option for 'git commit-graph write', to allow
reading and writing Bloom filters to be controlled independently.

commit-graph: introduce 'get_bloom_filter_settings()'
Many places in the code often need a pointer to the commit-graph's
'struct bloom_filter_settings', in which case they often take the value
from the top-most commit-graph.
In the non-split case, this works as expected. In the split case,
however, things get a little tricky. Not all layers in a chain of
incremental commit-graphs are required to themselves have Bloom data,
and so whether or not some part of the code uses Bloom filters depends
entirely on whether or not the top-most level of the commit-graph chain
has Bloom filters.
This has been the behavior since Bloom filters were introduced, and has
been codified into the tests since
a759bfa9ee (t4216: add end to end
tests for git log with Bloom filters, 2020-04-06). In fact, t4216.130
requires that Bloom filters are not used in exactly the case described
earlier.
There is no reason that this needs to be the case, since it is perfectly
valid for commits in an earlier layer to have Bloom filters when commits
in a newer layer do not.
Since Bloom settings are guaranteed in practice to be the same for any
layer in a chain that has Bloom data, it is sufficient to traverse the
'->base_graph' pointer until either (1) a non-null 'struct
bloom_filter_settings *' is found, or (2) until we are at the root of
the commit-graph chain.
Introduce a 'get_bloom_filter_settings()' function that does just this,
and use it instead of purely dereferencing the top-most graph's
'->bloom_filter_settings' pointer.
While we're at it, add an additional test in t5324 to guard against code
in the commit-graph writing machinery that doesn't correctly handle a
NULL 'struct bloom_filter *'.

fmt-merge-msg: allow merge destination to be omitted again
In Git 2.28, we stopped special casing 'master' when producing the
default merge message by just removing the code to squelch "into
'master'" at the end of the message.
Introduce multi-valued merge.suppressDest configuration variable
that gives a set of globs to match against the name of the branch
into which the merge is being made, to let users specify for which
branch fmt-merge-msg's output should be shortened. When it is not
set, 'master' is used as the sole value of the variable by default.
The above move mostly reverts the pre-2.28 default in repositories
that have no relevant configuration.
Add a few tests to protect the behaviour with the new configuration
variable from future regression.

Revert "fmt-merge-msg: stop treating `master` specially"
This reverts commit
489947cee5095b168cbac111ff7bd1eadbbd90dd, which
stopped treating merges into the 'master' branch as special when
preparing the default merge message. As the goal was not to have
any single branch designated as special, it solved it by leaving the
"into <branchname>" at the end of the title of the default merge
message for any and all branches. An obvious and easy alternative
to treat everybody equally could have been to remove it for every
branch, but that involves loss of information.
We'll introduce a new mechanism to let end-users specify merges into
which branches would omit the "into <branchname>" from the title of
the default merge message, and make the mechanism, when unconfigured,
treat the traditional 'master' special again, so all the changes to
the tests we made earlier will become unnecessary, as these tests
will be run without configuring the said new mechanism.

ci: use absolute PYTHON_PATH in the Linux jobs
In our test suite, when 'git p4' invokes a Git command as a
subprocesses, then it should run the 'git' binary we are testing.
Unfortunately, this is not the case in the 'linux-clang' and
'linux-gcc' jobs on Travis CI, where 'git p4' runs the system
'/usr/bin/git' instead.
Travis CI's default Linux image includes 'pyenv', and all Python
invocations that involve PATH lookup go through 'pyenv', e.g. our
'PYTHON_PATH=$(which python3)' sets '/opt/pyenv/shims/python3' as
PYTHON_PATH, which in turn will invoke '/usr/bin/python3'. Alas, the
'pyenv' version included in this image is buggy, and prepends the
directory containing the Python binary to PATH even if that is a
system directory already in PATH near the end. Consequently, 'git p4'
in those jobs ends up with its PATH starting with '/usr/bin', and then
runs '/usr/bin/git'.
So use the absolute paths '/usr/bin/python{2,3}' explicitly when
setting PYTHON_PATH in those Linux jobs to avoid the PATH lookup and
thus the bogus 'pyenv' from interfering with our 'git p4' tests.
Don't bother with special-casing Travis CI: while this issue doesn't
affect the corresponding Linux jobs on GitHub Actions, both CI systems
use Ubuntu LTS-based images, so we can safely rely on these Python
paths.

remote-curl: make --force-with-lease work with non-ASCII ref names
When we invoke a remote transport helper and pass an option with an
argument, we quote the argument as a C-style string if necessary. This
is the case for the cas option, which implements the --force-with-lease
command-line flag, when we're passing a non-ASCII refname.
However, the remote curl helper isn't designed to parse such an
argument, meaning that if we try to use --force-with-lease with an HTTP
push and a non-ASCII refname, we get an error like this:
error: cannot parse expected object name '
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"'
Note the double quote, which get_oid has reminded us is not valid in an
hex object ID.
Even if we had been able to parse it, we would send the wrong data to
the server: we'd send an escaped ref, which would not behave as the user
wanted and might accidentally result in updating or deleting a ref we
hadn't intended.
Since we need to expect a quoted C-style string here, just check if the
first argument is a double quote, and if so, unquote it. Note that if
the refname contains a double quote, then we will have double-quoted it
already, so there is no ambiguity.
We test for this case only in the smart protocol, since the DAV-based
protocol is not capable of handling this capability. We use UTF-8
because this is nicer in our tests and friendlier to Windows, but the
code should work for all non-ASCII refs.
While we're at it, since the name of the option is now well established
and isn't going to change, let's inline it instead of using the #define
constant.

learned to grep stderr to ensure that the failing `git branch`

for "File exists", expecting the string to show up there since config.c
calls `error_errno()`, which ends up including `strerror(errno)` in the
error message.
But as we saw in

`strerror()` yields a slightly different string than the one we're

avoid relying on `strerror()` behavior.

upload-pack: do not lazy-fetch "have" objects
When upload-pack receives a request containing "have" hashes, it (among
other things) checks if the served repository has the corresponding
objects. However, it does not do so with the
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT flag, so if serving a partial clone, a
lazy fetch will be triggered first.
This was discovered at $DAYJOB when a user fetched from a partial clone
(into another partial clone - although this would also happen if the
repo to be fetched into is not a partial clone).
Therefore, whenever "have" hashes are checked for existence, pass the
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT flag. Also add the OBJECT_INFO_QUICK flag
to improve performance, as it is typical that such objects do not exist
in the serving repo, and the consequences of a false negative are minor
(usually, a slightly larger pack sent).

verify_repository_format(): complain about new extensions in v0 repo
We made the mistake in the past of respecting extensions.* even when the
repository format version was set to 0. This is bad because forgetting
to bump the repository version means that older versions of Git (which
do not know about our extensions) won't complain. I.e., it's not a
problem in itself, but it means your repository is in a state which does
not give you the protection you think you're getting from older
versions.
For compatibility reasons, we are stuck with that decision for existing
extensions. However, we'd prefer not to extend the damage further. We
can do that by catching any newly-added extensions and complaining about
the repository format.
Note that this is a pretty heavy hammer: we'll refuse to work with the
repository at all. A lesser option would be to ignore (possibly with a
warning) any new extensions. But because of the way the extensions are
handled, that puts the burden on each new extension that is added to
remember to "undo" itself (because they are handled before we know
for sure whether we are in a v1 repo or not, since we don't insist on a
particular ordering of config entries).
So one option would be to rewrite that handling to record any new
extensions (and their values) during the config parse, and then only
after proceed to handle new ones only if we're in a v1 repository. But
I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble:
- ignoring extensions is likely to end up with broken results anyway
(e.g., ignoring a proposed objectformat extension means parsing any
object data is likely to encounter errors)
- this is a sign that whatever tool wrote the extension field is
broken. We may be better off notifying immediately and forcefully so
that such tools don't even appear to work accidentally.
The only downside is that fixing the situation is a little tricky,
because programs like "git config" won't want to work with the
repository. But:
git config --file=.git/config core.repositoryformatversion 1
should still suffice.

repository: allow repository format upgrade with extensions
Now that we officially permit repository extensions in repository
format v0, permit upgrading a repository with extensions from v0 to v1
as well.
For example, this means a repository where the user has set
"extensions.preciousObjects" can use "git fetch --filter=blob:none
origin" to upgrade the repository to use v1 and the partial clone
extension.
To avoid mistakes, continue to forbid repository format upgrades in v0
repositories with an unrecognized extension. This way, a v0 user
using a misspelled extension field gets a chance to correct the
mistake before updating to the less forgiving v1 format.
While we're here, make the error message for failure to upgrade the
repository format a bit shorter, and present it as an error, not a
warning.

Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories"
This reverts commit
14c7fa269e42df4133edd9ae7763b678ed6594cd.
The core.repositoryFormatVersion field was introduced in
ab9cb76f661
(Repository format version check., 2005-11-25), providing a welcome
bit of forward compatibility, thanks to some welcome analysis by
Martin Atukunda. The semantics are simple: a repository with
core.repositoryFormatVersion set to 0 should be comprehensible by all
Git implementations in active use; and Git implementations should
error out early instead of trying to act on Git repositories with
higher core.repositoryFormatVersion values representing new formats
that they do not understand.
A new repository format did not need to be defined until
00a09d57eb8
(introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion,
2015-06-23). This provided a finer-grained extension mechanism for
Git repositories. In a repository with core.repositoryFormatVersion
set to 1, Git implementations can act on "extensions.*" settings that
modify how a repository is interpreted. In repository format version
1, unrecognized extensions settings cause Git to error out.
What happens if a user sets an extension setting but forgets to
increase the repository format version to 1? The extension settings
were still recognized in that case; worse, unrecognized extensions
settings do *not* cause Git to error out. So combining repository
format version 0 with extensions settings produces in some sense the
worst of both worlds.
To improve that situation, since
14c7fa269e4
(check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old
repositories, 2020-06-05) Git instead ignores extensions in v0 mode.
This way, v0 repositories get the historical (pre-2015) behavior and
maintain compatibility with Git implementations that do not know about
the v1 format. Unfortunately, users had been using this sort of
configuration and this behavior change came to many as a surprise:
- users of "git config --worktree" that had followed its advice
to enable extensions.worktreeConfig (without also increasing the
repository format version) would find their worktree configuration
no longer taking effect
- tools such as copybara[*] that had set extensions.partialClone in
existing repositories (without also increasing the repository format
version) would find that setting no longer taking effect
The behavior introduced in
14c7fa269e4 might be a good behavior if we
were traveling back in time to 2015, but we're far too late. For some
reason I thought that it was what had been originally implemented and
that it had regressed. Apologies for not doing my research when
14c7fa269e4 was under development.
Let's return to the behavior we've had since 2015: always act on
extensions.* settings, regardless of repository format version. While
we're here, include some tests to describe the effect on the "upgrade
repository version" code path.

5b6653e523 (builtin/commit-graph.c: dereference

place, after write_commit_graph(), which does all the commit-graph
computation and writing, and has several progress lines of its own.
Consequently, that new
Collecting commits from input: 1234

write_commit_graph(), and its final "done" line is shown last, after
everything is finished:
$ { sleep 3 ; git rev-list -3 HEAD ; sleep 1 ; } | ~/src/git/git commit-graph write --stdin-commits

Furthermore, that stop_progress() call was added after the 'cleanup'
label, where that loop reading stdin jumps in case of an error. In
case of invalid input this then results in the "done" line shown after
the error message:

An earlier "fix" to this script gave up updating it not to rely on

One fix would be to sort the list of trees before removing duplicates,
but that loses information:
- we do care that the fetched history is in the same order
- there's a tree which appears twice in the history, and we'd want to
make sure that it's there both times
So instead, let's de-duplicate using a hash (preserving the order), and
drop only lines with identical trees and subjects (preserving the tree
which appears twice, since it has different subjects each time).
