Any git command that expects to work in a subdirectory of a project, and
that reads the git config files (which is just about all of them) needs to
make sure that it does the "setup_git_directory()" call before it tries to
read the config file.
This means, among other things, that we need to move the call out of
"init_revisions()", and into the caller.
This does the mostly trivial conversion to do that.

This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.
Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings"

With history simplification, we still show merges that are required
to make the history _complete_, i.e. say that you had:
a
|
b
/ \
c d
| |
and neither "a" nor "b" actually changed the file, but both "c" and "d"
did: in this case we have to leave "b" around just because otherwise there
would be no way to show the _relationship_, even if "b" itself doesn't
actually change the tree in any way what-so-ever.
It would make sense to make that further simplification if the
"--parents" flag wasn't present. In that case the user is
literally asking for a list of commits and is not interested in
the relationship between them.
This patch also fixes a real bug. Without this patch, the
"--parents --full-history" combination (which you'd get if you
do something like
gitk --full-history Makefile
or similar) will actually _drop_ merges where all children are identical.
That's wrong in the --full-history case, because it means that the graph
ends up missing lots of entries.
In the process, this also should make
git-rev-list --full-history Makefile
give just the _true_ list of all commits that changed Makefile (and
properly ignore merges that were identical in one parent), because now
we're not asking for "--parent", so we don't need the unnecessary merge
commits to keep the history together.

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.

This is really the dregs of my effort to not waste memory in git-rev-list,
and makes barely one percent of a difference in the memory footprint, but
hey, it's also a pretty small patch.
It discards the parent lists and the commit buffer after the commit has
been shown by git-rev-list (and "git log" - which already did the commit
buffer part), and frees the commit list entry that was used by the
revision walker.
The big win would be to get rid of the "refs" pointer in the object
structure (another 5%), because it's only used by fsck. That would require
some pretty major surgery to fsck, though, so I'm timid and did the less
interesting but much easier part instead.
This (percentually) makes a bigger difference to "git log" and friends,
since those are walking _just_ commits, and thus the list entries tend to
be a bigger percentage of the memory use. But the "list all objects" case
does improve too.

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.

This does:
- add a "rev.simplify_history" flag which defaults to on
- it turns it off for "git whatchanged" (which thus now has real
semantics outside of "git log")
- it adds a command line flag ("--full-history") to turn it off for
others (ie you can make "git log" and "gitk" etc get the semantics if
you want to.
Now, just as an example of _why_ you really really really want to simplify
history by default, apply this patch, install it, and try these two
command lines:
gitk --full-history -- git.c
gitk -- git.c
and compare the output.
So with this, you can also now do
git whatchanged -p -- gitweb.cgi
git log -p --full-history -- gitweb.cgi
and it will show the old history of gitweb.cgi, even though it's not
relevant to the _current_ state of the name "gitweb.cgi"
NOTE NOTE NOTE! It will still actually simplify away merges that didn't
change anything at all into either child. That creates these bogus strange
discontinuities if you look at it with "gitk" (look at the --full-history
gitk output for git.c, and you'll see a few strange cases).
So the whole "--parent" thing ends up somewhat bogus with --full-history
because of this, but I'm not sure it's worth even worrying about. I don't
think you'd ever want to really use "--full-history" with the graphical
representation, I just give it as an example exactly to show _why_ doing

This adds a "tree_entry()" function that combines the common operation of
doing a "tree_entry_extract()" + "update_tree_entry()".
It also has a simplified calling convention, designed for simple loops
that traverse over a whole tree: the arguments are pointers to the tree
descriptor and a name_entry structure to fill in, and it returns a boolean
"true" if there was an entry left to be gotten in the tree.
This allows tree traversal with
struct tree_desc desc;
struct name_entry entry;
desc.buf = tree->buffer;
desc.size = tree->size;
while (tree_entry(&desc, &entry) {
... use "entry.{path, sha1, mode, pathlen}" ...
}
which is not only shorter than writing it out in full, it's hopefully less
error prone too.
[ It's actually a tad faster too - we don't need to recalculate the entry
pathlength in both extract and update, but need to do it only once.
Also, some callers can avoid doing a "strlen()" on the result, since
it's returned as part of the name_entry structure.
However, by now we're talking just 1% speedup on "git-rev-list --objects
--all", and we're definitely at the point where tree walking is no
longer the issue any more. ]
NOTE! Not everybody wants to use this new helper function, since some of
the tree walkers very much on purpose do the descriptor update separately
from the entry extraction. So the "extract + update" sequence still
remains as the core sequence, this is just a simplified interface.
We should probably add a silly two-line inline helper function for
initializing the descriptor from the "struct tree" too, just to cut down
on the noise from that common "desc" initializer.

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between
the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's
a patch that does exactly that.
The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is
still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for
merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do
something like
if (rev->logopt)
show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n");
but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it
alone.
That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular,
the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean:
while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
log_tree_commit(rev, commit);
free(commit->buffer);
commit->buffer = NULL;
}
so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely
hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally
just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation.
I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead
of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean.
This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit
descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new

This basically does a few things that are sadly somewhat interdependent,
and nontrivial to split out
- get rid of "struct log_tree_opt"
The fields in "log_tree_opt" are moved into "struct rev_info", and all
users of log_tree_opt are changed to use the rev_info struct instead.
- add the parsing for the log_tree_opt arguments to "setup_revision()"
- make setup_revision set a flag (revs->diff) if the diff-related
arguments were used. This allows "git log" to decide whether it wants
to show diffs or not.
- make setup_revision() also initialize the diffopt part of rev_info
(which we had from before, but we just didn't initialize it)
- make setup_revision() do all the "finishing touches" on it all (it will
do the proper flag combination logic, and call "diff_setup_done()")
Now, that was the easy and straightforward part.
The slightly more involved part is that some of the programs that want to
use the new-and-improved rev_info parsing don't actually want _commits_,
they may want tree'ish arguments instead. That meant that I had to change
setup_revision() to parse the arguments not into the "revs->commits" list,
but into the "revs->pending_objects" list.
Then, when we do "prepare_revision_walk()", we walk that list, and create
the sorted commit list from there.
This actually cleaned some stuff up, but it's the less obvious part of the
patch, and re-organized the "revision.c" logic somewhat. It actually paves
the way for splitting argument parsing _entirely_ out of "revision.c",
since now the argument parsing really is totally independent of the commit
walking: that didn't use to be true, since there was lots of overlap with
get_commit_reference() handling etc, now the _only_ overlap is the shared
(and trivial) "add_pending_object()" thing.
However, I didn't do that file split, just because I wanted the diff
itself to be smaller, and show the actual changes more clearly. If this
gets accepted, I'll do further cleanups then - that includes the file
split, but also using the new infrastructure to do a nicer "git diff" etc.
Even in this form, it actually ends up removing more lines than it adds.
It's nice to note how simple and straightforward this makes the built-in
"git log" command, even though it continues to support all the diff flags
too. It doesn't get much simpler that this.
I think this is worth merging soonish, because it does allow for future
cleanup and even more sharing of code. However, it obviously touches
"revision.c", which is subtle. I've tested that it passes all the tests we
have, and it passes my "looks sane" detector, but somebody else should
also give it a good look-over.

The parent rewriting feature caused us to create the whole history in one

Right now, this doesn't really much matter, because every user of
"--parents" will probably generally _also_ use "--topo-order", which will

This is actually a pretty small patch, and the biggest part of it is
purely cleanups (turning the "goto next" statements into "continue"), but
it's conceptually a lot bigger than it looks.
What it does is that if you do a path-limited revision list, and you do
_not_ ask for pseudo-parenthood information, it won't do all the
path-limiting up-front, but instead do it incrementally in
"get_revision()".
This is an absolutely huge deal for anything like "git log -- <pathname>",

before-and-after on the kernel archive, it's "git-rev-list" after all. In
other words, it's that really really subtle and complex central piece of
software. So while I think this is important and should go in asap, I also
think it should get lots of testing and eyeballs looking at the code.
Btw, don't even bother testing this with the git archive. git itself is so
small that parsing the whole revision history for it takes about a second
even with path limiting. The thing that _really_ shows this off is doing
git log drivers/
on the kernel archive, or even better, on the _historic_ kernel archive.
With this change, the response is instantaneous (although seeking to the
end of the result will obviously take as long as it ever did). Before this
change, the command would think about the result for tens of seconds - or
even minutes, in the case of the bigger old kernel archive - before
starting to output the results.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! Using path limiting with things like "gitk", which uses
the "--parents" flag to actually generate a pseudo-history of the
resulting commits won't actually see the improvement in interactivity,
since that forces git-rev-list to do the whole-history thing after all.
MAYBE we can fix that too at some point, but I won't promise anything.

Not only do we do it in both rev-list.c and git.c, the revision walking
code will soon want to know whether we should rewrite parenthood
information or not.

Marco reported that
$ git rev-list --boundary --topo-order --parents 5aa44d5..ab57c8d
misses these two boundary commits.

Indeed, we can see that gitk shows these two commits at the
bottom, because the --boundary code failed to output them.
The code did not check to avoid pushing the same uninteresting
commit twice to the result list. I am not sure why this fixes
the reported problem, but this seems to fix it.

The earlier change to make "..B" to mean "HEAD..B" (aka ^HEAD B)
has constness gotcha GCC complains. Fix it.
