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 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"
entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different

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.

The tree-walking conversion of the "process_tree()" function
broke packing by using an unrelated variable from outer scope.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
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.

Martin Langhoff points out that "git repack -a" ends up using up a lot of
memory for big archives, and that git cvsimport probably should do only
incremental repacks in order to avoid having repacking flush all the
caches.
The big majority of the memory usage of repacking is from git rev-list
tracking all objects, and this patch should go a long way in avoiding the
excessive memory usage: the bulk of it was due to the object names being
leaked from the tree parser.
For the historic Linux kernel archive, this simple patch does:
Before:
/usr/bin/time git-rev-list --all --objects > /dev/null
72.45user 0.82system 1:13.55elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+125376minor)pagefaults 0swaps
After:
/usr/bin/time git-rev-list --all --objects > /dev/null
75.22user 0.48system 1:16.34elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+43921minor)pagefaults 0swaps
where we do end up wasting a bit of time on some extra strdup()s (which
could be avoided, but that would require tracking where the pathnames came
from), but we avoid a lot of memory usage.
Minor page faults track maximum RSS very closely (each page fault maps in
one page into memory), so the reduction from 125376 page faults to 43921
means a rough reduction of VM footprint from almost half a gigabyte to
about a third of that. Those numbers were also double-checked by looking
at "top" while the process was running.
(Side note: at least part of the remaining VM footprint is the mapping of
the 177MB pack-file, so the remaining memory use is at least partly "well
behaved" from a project caching perspective).
For the current git archive itself, the memory usage for a "--all
--objects" rev-list invocation dropped from 7128 pages to 2318 (27MB to
9MB), so the reduction seems to hold for much smaller projects too.
For regular "git-rev-list" usage (ie without the "--objects" flag) this
patch has no impact.

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
reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine
too.

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

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.

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

even that one incrementally.
Right now, this doesn't really much matter, because every user of
"--parents" will probably generally _also_ use "--topo-order", which will
cause the old non-incremental behaviour anyway. However, I'm hopeful that
we could make even the topological sort incremental, or at least
_partially_ so (for example, make it incremental up to the first merge).
In the meantime, this at least moves things in the right direction, and
