Jeff King 2e2d141afd ewah: make bitmap growth less aggressive
If you ask to set a bit in the Nth word and we haven't yet allocated
that many slots in our array, we'll increase the bitmap size to 2*N.
This means we might frequently end up with bitmaps that are twice the
necessary size (as soon as you ask for the biggest bit, we'll size up to
twice that).

But if we just allocate as many words as were asked for, we may not grow
fast enough. The worst case there is setting bit 0, then 1, etc. Each
time we grow we'd just extend by one more word, giving us linear
reallocations (and quadratic memory copies).

A middle ground is relying on alloc_nr(), which causes us to grow by a
factor of roughly 3/2 instead of 2. That's less aggressive than
doubling, and it may help avoid fragmenting memory. (If we start with N,
then grow twice, our total is N*(3/2)^2 = 9N/4. After growing twice,
that array of size 9N/4 can fit into the space vacated by the original
array and first growth, N+3N/2 = 10N/4 > 9N/4, leading to less
fragmentation in memory).

Our worst case is still 3/2N wasted bits (you set bit N-1, then setting
bit N causes us to grow by 3/2), but our average should be much better.

This isn't usually that big a deal, but it will matter as we shift the
reachability bitmap generation code to store more bitmaps in memory.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
