SZEDER Gábor	5af7417bd8	commit-graph: rename "large edges" to "extra edges" The optional 'Large Edge List' chunk of the commit graph file stores parent information for commits with more than two parents, and the names of most of the macros, variables, struct fields, and functions related to this chunk contain the term "large edges", e.g. write_graph_chunk_large_edges(). However, it's not a really great term, as the edges to the second and subsequent parents stored in this chunk are not any larger than the edges to the first and second parents stored in the "main" 'Commit Data' chunk. It's the number of edges, IOW number of parents, that is larger compared to non-merge and "regular" two-parent merge commits. And indeed, two functions in 'commit-graph.c' have a local variable called 'num_extra_edges' that refer to the same thing, and this "extra edges" term is much better at describing these edges. So let's rename all these references to "large edges" in macro, variable, function, etc. names to "extra edges". There is a GRAPH_OCTOPUS_EDGES_NEEDED macro as well; for the sake of consistency rename it to GRAPH_EXTRA_EDGES_NEEDED. We can do so safely without causing any incompatibility issues, because the term "large edges" doesn't come up in the file format itself in any form (the chunk's magic is {'E', 'D', 'G', 'E'}, there is no 'L' in there), but only in the specification text. The string "large edges", however, does come up in the output of 'git commit-graph read' and in tests looking at its input, but that command is explicitly documented as debugging aid, so we can change its output and the affected tests safely.

Derrick Stolee	a9aa3c0927	commit-graph: fix documentation inconsistencies The commit-graph feature shipped in Git 2.18 has some inconsistencies in the constants used by the implementation and specified by the format document. The commit data chunk uses the key "CDAT" in the file format, but was previously documented to say "CGET". The commit data chunk stores commit parents using two 32-bit fields that typically store the integer position of the parent in the list of commit ids within the commit-graph file. When a parent does not exist, we had documented the value 0xffffffff, but implemented the value 0x70000000. This swap is easy to correct in the documentation, but unfortunately reduces the number of commits that we can store in the commit-graph. Update that estimate, too.

Derrick Stolee	b84f767c8a	commit-graph: add format document Add document specifying the binary format for commit graphs. This format allows for: * New versions. * New hash functions and hash lengths. * Optional extensions. Basic header information is followed by a binary table of contents into "chunks" that include: * An ordered list of commit object IDs. * A 256-entry fanout into that list of OIDs. * A list of metadata for the commits. * A list of "large edges" to enable octopus merges. The format automatically includes two parent positions for every commit. This favors speed over space, since using only one position per commit would cause an extra level of indirection for every merge commit. (Octopus merges suffer from this indirection, but they are very rare.) Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	7 years ago
