In git-log we leave the save_commit_buffer flag set to "1", which tells
the commit parsing code to store the object content after it has parsed
it to find parents, tree, etc. That lets us reuse the contents for
pretty-printing the commit in the output. And then after printing each
commit, we call free_commit_buffer(), since we don't need it anymore.
But some options may cause us to traverse commits which are not part of
the output. And so git-log does not see them at all, and doesn't free
them. One such case is something like:
git log -n 1000 --skip=1000000
which will churn through a million commits, before showing only a
thousand. We loop through these inside get_revision(), without freeing
the contents. As a result, we end up storing the object data for those
million commits simultaneously.
We should free the stored buffers (if any) for those commits as we skip
over them, which is what this patch does. Running the above command in
linux.git drops the peak heap usage from ~1.1GB to ~200MB, according to
valgrind/massif. (I thought we might get an even bigger improvement, but
the remaining memory is going to commit/tree structs, which we do hold
on to forever).
Note that this problem doesn't occur if:
- you're running a git-rev-list without a --format parameter; it turns
off save_commit_buffer by default, since it only output the object
id
- you've built a commit-graph file, since in that case we'd use the
optimized graph data instead of the initial parse, and then do a
lazy parse for commits we're actually going to output
There are probably some other option combinations that can likewise
end up with useless stored commit buffers. For example, if you ask for
"foo..bar", then we'll have to walk down to the merge base, and
everything on the "foo" side won't be shown. Tuning the "save" behavior
to handle that might be tricky (I guess maybe drop buffers for anything
we mark as UNINTERESTING?). And in the long run, the right solution here
is probably to make sure the commit-graph is built (since it fixes the
memory problem _and_ drastically reduces CPU usage).
But since this "--skip" case is an easy one-liner, it's worth fixing in
the meantime. It should be OK to make this call even if there is no
saved buffer (e.g., because save_commit_buffer=0, or because a
commit-graph was used), since it's O(1) to look up the buffer and is a
noop if it isn't present. I verified by running the above command after
"git commit-graph write --reachable", and it takes the same time with
and without this patch.

This patch fixes a racy test failure in t4129.
The deletion test added by e95d515141 (apply: canonicalize modes read
from patches, 2024-08-05) wants to make sure that git-apply does not
complain about a non-canonical mode in the patch, even if that mode does
not match the working tree file. So it does this:
echo content >non-canon &&
git add non-canon &&
chmod 666 non-canon &&
This is wrong, because running chmod will update the ctime on the file,
making it stat-dirty and causing git-apply to refuse to apply the patch.
But this only happens sometimes, since it depends on the timestamps
crossing a second boundary (but it triggers pretty quickly when run with
--stress).
We can fix this by doing the chmod before updating the index. The order
isn't important here, as the mode will be canonicalized to 100644 in the
index anyway (in fact, the chmod is not even that important in the first
place, since git-apply will only look at the index; I only added it as
an extra confirmation that git-apply would not be confused by it).

We hit a segfault when trying to open a bundle via `git bundle
list-heads` when running outside of a repository. This is caused by
c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash,
2024-05-07), which stopped setting the default object hash so that
`the_hash_algo` is a `NULL` pointer when running outside of any repo.
This is only a symptom of a deeper issue though. Bundles default to the
SHA1 object format unless they advertise an "@object-format=" header.
Consequently, it has been wrong in the first place to use the object
format used by the current repository when parsing bundles. The
consequence is that trying to open a bundle that uses a different object
hash than the current repository will fail:
$ git bundle list-heads sha1.bundle
error: unrecognized header: ee4b540943284700a32591ad09f7e15bdeb2a10c HEAD (45)
Fix the bug by defaulting to the SHA1 object hash. We already handle the
"@object-format=" header as expected, so we don't need to adapt this
part.

The `git bundle unbundle` subcommand requires a repository to unbundle
the contents into. As thus, the subcommand checks whether we have a
startup repository in the first place, and if not it dies.
This check happens after we have already opened the bundle though. This
causes a segfault when running outside of a repository starting with
c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash,
2024-05-07) because we have no hash function set up, but we do try to
parse refs advertised by the bundle's header.
The next commit will fix that underlying issue by defaulting to the SHA1
object format for bundles, which will also fix the described segfault here.
But as we know that we will die anyway, we can do better than that and
avoid some vain work by moving the check for a repository before we try
to open the bundle.

When using "git-diff-tree" to get the tree diff for merge commits with
the diff format set to `remerge`, a bug is triggered as shown below:
$ git diff-tree -r --remerge-diff 363337e6eb363337e6eb
BUG: log-tree.c:1006: did a remerge diff without remerge_objdir?!?
This bug is reported by `log-tree.c:do_remerge_diff`, where a bug check
added in commit 7b90ab467a (log: clean unneeded objects during log
--remerge-diff, 2022-02-02) detects the absence of `remerge_objdir` when
attempting to clean up temporary objects generated during the remerge
process.
After some further digging, I find that the remerge-related diff options
were introduced in db757e8b8d (show, log: provide a --remerge-diff
capability, 2022-02-02), which also affect the setup of `rev_info` for
"git-diff-tree", but were not accounted for in the original
implementation (inferred from the commit message).
Elijah Newren, the author of the remerge diff feature, notes that other
callers of `log-tree.c:log_tree_commit` (the only caller of
`log-tree.c:do_remerge_diff`) also exist, but:
`builtin/am.c`: manually sets all flags; remerge_diff is not among them
`sequencer.c`: manually sets all flags; remerge_diff is not among them
so `builtin/diff-tree.c` really is the only caller that was overlooked
when remerge-diff functionality was added.
This commit resolves the crash by adding `remerge_objdir` setup logic to
`builtin/diff-tree.c`, mirroring `builtin/log.c:cmd_log_walk_no_free`.
It also includes the necessary cleanup for `remerge_objdir`.

A few tests have "| tee output" downstream of a git command, and
then inspect the contents of the file. The net effect is that we
use an extra process, and hide the exit status from the upstream git
command.
In any of these tests, I do not see a reason why we want to hide a
possible failure from these git commands. Replace the use of tee
with a plain simple redirection.

The `grep` statement in this test looks for `d0.*<string>`, attempting
to filter to only show lines that had tabular output where the 2nd
column had `d0` and the final column had a substring of
[`git -c `]`fetch.negotiationAlgorithm`. These lines also have
`child_start` in the 4th column, but this isn't part of the condition.
A subsequent line will have `d1` in the 2nd column, `start` in the 4th
column, and `/path/to/git/git -c fetch.negotiationAlgorihm` in the final
column. If `/path/to/git/git` contains the substring `d0`, then this
line is included by `grep` as well as the desired line, leading to an
effective doubling of the number of lines, and test failures.
Tighten the grep expression to require `d0` to be surrounded by spaces,
and to have the `child_start` label.

To detect conversion failure after calls to functions like `strtod`, one
can check `errno == ERANGE`. These functions are not guaranteed to set
`errno` to `0` on successful conversion, however. Manual manipulation of
`errno` can likely be avoided by checking that the output pointer
differs from the input pointer, but that's not how other locations, such
as parse.c:139, handle this issue; they set errno to 0 prior to
executing the function.
For every place I could find a strtoX function with an ERANGE check
following it, set `errno = 0;` prior to executing the conversion
function.
