Patrick Steinhardt aad8ad6fe1 reftable/merged: advance subiter on subsequent iteration
When advancing the merged iterator, we pop the topmost entry from its
priority queue and then advance the sub-iterator that the entry belongs
to, adding the result as a new entry. This is quite sensible in the case
where the merged iterator is used to actually iterate through records.
But the merged iterator is also used when we look up a single record,
only, so advancing the sub-iterator is wasted effort because we would
never even look at the result.

Instead of immediately advancing the sub-iterator, we can also defer
this to the next iteration of the merged iterator by storing the
intent-to-advance. This results in a small speedup when reading many
records. The following benchmark creates 10000 refs, which will also end
up with many ref lookups:

    Benchmark 1: update-ref: create many refs (revision = HEAD~)
      Time (mean ± σ):     337.2 ms ±   7.3 ms    [User: 200.1 ms, System: 136.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):   329.3 ms … 373.2 ms    100 runs

    Benchmark 2: update-ref: create many refs (revision = HEAD)
      Time (mean ± σ):     332.5 ms ±   5.9 ms    [User: 197.2 ms, System: 135.1 ms]
      Range (min … max):   327.6 ms … 359.8 ms    100 runs

    Summary
      update-ref: create many refs (revision = HEAD) ran
        1.01 ± 0.03 times faster than update-ref: create many refs (revision = HEAD~)

While this speedup alone isn't really worth it, this refactoring will
also allow two additional optimizations in subsequent patches. First, it
will allow us to special-case when there is only a single sub-iter left
to circumvent the priority queue altogether. And second, it makes it
easier to avoid copying records to the caller.

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 to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://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
