Linus Torvalds	1f1e895fcc	Add "named object array" concept We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

Linus Torvalds	885a86abe2	Shrink "struct object" a bit This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.

Johannes Schindelin	e686eb9870	fmt-patch: understand old <his> notation When calling "git fmt-patch HEAD~5", you now get the same as if you would have said "git fmt-patch HEAD~5..".

Junio C Hamano	0fe7c1de16	built-in diff: assorted updates. "git diff(n)" without --base, --ours, etc. defaults to --cc, which usually is the same as -p unless you are in the middle of a conflicted merge, just like the shell script version. "git diff(n) blobA blobB path" complains and dies. "git diff(n) tree0 tree1 tree2...treeN" does combined diff that shows a merge of tree1..treeN to result in tree0. Giving "-c" option to any command that defaults to "--cc" turns off dense-combined flag. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago
