This reverts commit c334b87b30c1464a1ab563fe1fb8de5eaf0e5bac; the
update assumed that people only used the command to read from
"rev-list --objects" output, whose lines begin with a 40-hex object
name followed by a whitespace, but it turns out that scripts feed
random extended SHA-1 expressions (e.g. "HEAD:$pathname") in which
a whitespace has to be kept.
Each caller of sha1_object_info_extended sets up an
object_info struct to tell the function which elements of
the object it wants to get. Until now, getting the type of
the object has always been required (and it is returned via
the return type rather than a pointer in object_info).
This can involve actually opening a loose object file to
determine its type, or following delta chains to determine a
packed file's base type. These effects produce a measurable
slow-down when doing a "cat-file --batch-check" that does
not include %(objecttype).
This patch adds a "typep" query to struct object_info, so
that it can be optionally queried just like size and
disk_size. As a result, the return type of the function is
no longer the object type, but rather 0/-1 for success/error.
As there are only three callers total, we just fix up each
caller rather than keep a compatibility wrapper:
1. The simpler sha1_object_info wrapper continues to
always ask for and return the type field.
2. The istream_source function wants to know the type, and
so always asks for it.
3. The cat-file batch code asks for the type only when
%(objecttype) is part of the format string.
On linux.git, the best-of-five for running:
$ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
$ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'
on a fully packed repository goes from:
real 0m8.680s

A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list
of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command.
In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1
ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision
specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1().
Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before
doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this
scenario should end up spending very little time converting
the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f
(get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look
like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we
spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just
to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993
(get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it
changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more
expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for
each missing ref.
With no patches, this is the time it takes to run:
$ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
$ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects
on the linux.git repository:
real 1m13.494s
user 0m25.924s
sys 0m47.532s
If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it
gets a little better:
real 0m54.697s
user 0m21.692s
sys 0m32.916s
but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup
(and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which
has correctness issues). If we revert 798c35f, disabling
the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time:
real 0m7.452s
user 0m6.836s
sys 0m0.608s
This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and
gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that
callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for
the warning.

If we get an input line to --batch or --batch-check that
looks like "HEAD foo bar", we will currently feed the whole
thing to get_sha1(). This means that to use --batch-check
with `rev-list --objects`, one must pre-process the input,
like:
git rev-list --objects HEAD |
cut -d' ' -f1 |
git cat-file --batch-check
Besides being more typing and slightly less efficient to
invoke `cut`, the result loses information: we no longer
know which path each object was found at.
This patch teaches cat-file to split input lines at the
first whitespace. Everything to the left of the whitespace
is considered an object name, and everything to the right is
made available as the %(reset) atom. So you can now do:
git rev-list --objects HEAD |
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize) %(rest)'
to collect object sizes at particular paths.
Even if %(rest) is not used, we always do the whitespace
split (which means you can simply eliminate the `cut`
command from the first example above).
This whitespace split is backwards compatible for any
reasonable input. Object names cannot contain spaces, so any
input with spaces would have resulted in a "missing" line.
The only input hurt is if somebody really expected input of
the form "HEAD is a fine-looking ref!" to fail; it will now
parse HEAD, and make "is a fine-looking ref!" available as
%(rest).

This atom is just like %(objectsize), except that it shows
the on-disk size of the object rather than the object's true
size. In other words, it makes the "disk_size" query of
sha1_object_info_extended available via the command-line.
This can be used for rough attribution of disk usage to
particular refs, though see the caveats in the
documentation.
This patch does not include any tests, as the exact numbers
returned are volatile and subject to zlib and packing
decisions. We cannot even reliably guarantee that the
on-disk size is smaller than the object content (though in
general this should be the case for non-trivial objects).

The `cat-file --batch-check` command can be used to quickly
get information about a large number of objects. However, it
provides a fixed set of information.
This patch adds an optional <format> option to --batch-check
to allow a caller to specify which items they are interested
in, and in which order to output them. This is not very
exciting for now, since we provide the same limited set that
you could already get. However, it opens the door to adding
new format items in the future without breaking backwards
compatibility (or forcing callers to pay the cost to
calculate uninteresting items).
Since the --batch option shares code with --batch-check, it
receives the same feature, though it is less likely to be of
interest there.
The format atom names are chosen to match their counterparts
in for-each-ref. Though we do not (yet) share any code with
for-each-ref's formatter, this keeps the interface as
consistent as possible, and may help later on if the
implementations are unified.

The regular "git cat-file -p" and "git cat-file blob" code
paths already learned to stream large blobs. Let's do the
same here.
Note that this means we look up the type and size before
making a decision of whether to load the object into memory
or stream (just like the "-p" code path does). That can lead
to extra work, but it should be dwarfed by the cost of
actually accessing the object itself. In my measurements,
there was a 1-2% slowdown when using "--batch" on a large

When "cat-file -p" prints commits, it shows them in their
raw format, since git's format is already human-readable.
For tags, however, we print the whole thing raw except for
one thing: we convert the timestamp on the tagger line into a
human-readable date.
This dates all the way back to a0f15fa (Pretty-print tagger
dates, 2006-03-01). At that time there was no other way to
pretty-print a tag. These days, however, neither of those
matters much. The normal way to pretty-print a tag is with
"git show", which is much more flexible than "cat-file -p".
Commit a0f15fa also built "verify-tag --verbose" (and
subsequently "tag -v") around the "cat-file -p" output.
However, that behavior was lost in commit 62e09ce (Make git
tag a builtin, 2007-07-20), and we went back to printing
the raw tag contents. Nobody seems to have noticed the bug
since then (and it is arguably a saner behavior anyway, as
it shows the actual bytes for which we verified the
signature).
Let's drop the tagger-date formatting for "cat-file -p". It
makes us more consistent with cat-file's commit
pretty-printer, and as a bonus, we can drop the hand-rolled
tag parsing code in cat-file (which happened to behave
inconsistently with the tag pretty-printing code elsewhere).
This is a change of output format, so it's possible that
some callers could considered this a regression. However,
the original behavior was arguably a bug (due to the
inconsistency with commits), likely nobody was relying on it
(even we do not use it ourselves these days), and anyone
relying on the "-p" pretty-printer should be able to expect
a change in the output format (i.e., while "cat-file" is
plumbing, the output format of "-p" was never guaranteed to
be stable).

The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec
struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the
content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which
indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If
sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a
working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when
the index is not up-to-date).
The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the
interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1
directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at
that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is
valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel
value to indicate that it is not.
We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any
other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree).
However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would
cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree
version of a file instead of treating it as a blob.
This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept
a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use
that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this
means passing the flag through several layers, making the
code change larger than would be desirable.
One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing
corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more
directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree
are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel
confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what
makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable
of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For
example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out
when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a
"--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other
corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

When the userdiff_config function was introduced in be58e70
(diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code,
2008-10-05), it used a return value convention unlike any
other config callback. Like other callbacks, it used "-1" to
signal error. But it returned "1" to indicate that it found
something, and "0" otherwise; other callbacks simply
returned "0" to indicate that no error occurred.
This distinction was necessary at the time, because the
userdiff namespace overlapped slightly with the color
configuration namespace. So "diff.color.foo" could mean "the
'foo' slot of diff coloring" or "the 'foo' component of the
"color" userdiff driver". Because the color-parsing code
would die on an unknown color slot, we needed the userdiff
code to indicate that it had matched the variable, letting
us bypass the color-parsing code entirely.
Later, in 8b8e862 (ignore unknown color configuration,
2009-12-12), the color-parsing code learned to silently
ignore unknown slots. This means we no longer need to
protect userdiff-matched variables from reaching the
color-parsing code.
We can therefore change the userdiff_config calling
convention to a more normal one. This drops some code from
each caller, which is nice. But more importantly, it reduces
the cognitive load for readers who may wonder why
userdiff_config is unlike every other config callback.
There's no need to add a new test confirming that this
works; t4020 already contains a test that sets
diff.color.external.
