Derrick Stolee 7903efb717 bundle-uri: download in creationToken order 
The creationToken heuristic provides an ordering on the bundles
advertised by a bundle list. Teach the Git client to download bundles
differently when this heuristic is advertised.

The bundles in the list are sorted by their advertised creationToken
values, then downloaded in decreasing order. This avoids the previous
strategy of downloading bundles in an arbitrary order and attempting
to apply them (likely failing in the case of required commits) until
discovering the order through attempted unbundling.

During a fresh 'git clone', it may make sense to download the bundles in
increasing order, since that would prevent the need to attempt
unbundling a bundle with required commits that do not exist in our empty
object store. The cost of testing an unbundle is quite low, and instead
the chosen order is optimizing for a future bundle download during a
'git fetch' operation with a non-empty object store.

Since the Git client continues fetching from the Git remote after
downloading and unbundling bundles, the client's object store can be
ahead of the bundle provider's object store. The next time it attempts
to download from the bundle list, it makes most sense to download only
the most-recent bundles until all tips successfully unbundle. The
strategy implemented here provides that short-circuit where the client
downloads a minimal set of bundles.

However, we are not satisfied by the naive approach of downloading
bundles until one successfully unbundles, expecting the earlier bundles
to successfully unbundle now. The example repository in t5558
demonstrates this well:

 ---------------- bundle-4

       4
      / \
 ----|---|------- bundle-3
     |   |
     |   3
     |   |
 ----|---|------- bundle-2
     |   |
     2   |
     |   |
 ----|---|------- bundle-1
      \ /
       1
       |
 (previous commits)

In this repository, if we already have the objects for bundle-1 and then
try to fetch from this list, the naive approach will fail. bundle-4
requires both bundle-3 and bundle-2, though bundle-3 will successfully
unbundle without bundle-2. Thus, the algorithm needs to keep this in
mind.

A later implementation detail will store the maximum creationToken seen
during such a bundle download, and the client will avoid downloading a
bundle unless its creationToken is strictly greater than that stored
value. For now, if the client seeks to download from an identical
bundle list since its previous download, it will download the
most-recent bundle then stop since its required commits are already in
the object store.

Add tests that exercise this behavior, but we will expand upon these
tests when incremental downloads during 'git fetch' make use of
creationToken values.

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 and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). 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
