Jeff King	1a0962dee5	t/perf: fix regression in testing older versions of git Commit `7501b59` (perf: make the tests work in worktrees, 2016-05-13) introduced the use of "git rev-parse --git-path" in the perf-lib setup code. Because the to-be-tested version of git is at the front of the $PATH when this code runs, this means we cannot use modern versions of t/perf to test versions of git older than v2.5.0 (when that option was introduced). This is a symptom of a more general problem. The t/perf suite is essentially independent of git versions, and ideally we would be able to run the most modern and complete set of tests across many historical versions (to see how they compare). But any setup code they run is therefore required to use the lowest common denominator we expect to test. So let's introduce a new variable, $MODERN_GIT, that we can use both in perf-lib and in the test setup to get a reliable set of git features (we might change git and break some tests, of course, but $MODERN_GIT is tied to the same version of git as the t/perf scripts, so they can be fixed or adjusted together). This commit fixes the "--git-path" case, but does not mass-convert existing setup code to use $MODERN_GIT. Most setup code is fairly vanilla and will work with effectively all versions. But now the tool is there to fix any other issues we find going forward. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	9 years ago
W. Trevor King	283efb0108	Documentation: Update 'linux-2.6.git' -> 'linux.git' The 3.x tree has been out for a while now. The -2.6 repository name survived the initial release [1], but kernel.org now only lists 'linux.git' (for aegl as well as torvalds) [2].

Antoine Pelisse	ca70c9ea72	perf: update documentation of GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT Currently the documentation of GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT says the default is five while "perf-lib.sh" uses a value of three as a default. Update the documentation so that it is consistent with the code. Signed-off-by: Antoine Pelisse <apelisse@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	12 years ago
Thomas Rast	342e9ef2d9	Introduce a performance testing framework This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible, and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers. The following points were considered for the implementation: 1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against each other. They may not have the performance test under consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure. To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions if it doesn't have them at hand yet. 2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run; or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for real-world use. 3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos is out of the question. We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries to use the build tree's git.git repository. This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	13 years ago
