Taylor Blau cf73936ddf commit-graph: ensure Bloom filters are read with consistent settings
The changed-path Bloom filter mechanism is parameterized by a couple of
variables, notably the number of bits per hash (typically "m" in Bloom
filter literature) and the number of hashes themselves (typically "k").

It is critically important that filters are read with the Bloom filter
settings that they were written with. Failing to do so would mean that
each query is liable to compute different fingerprints, meaning that the
filter itself could return a false negative. This goes against a basic
assumption of using Bloom filters (that they may return false positives,
but never false negatives) and can lead to incorrect results.

We have some existing logic to carry forward existing Bloom filter
settings from one layer to the next. In `write_commit_graph()`, we have
something like:

    if (!(flags & COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_WRITE_BLOOM_FILTERS)) {
        struct commit_graph *g = ctx->r->objects->commit_graph;

        /* We have changed-paths already. Keep them in the next graph */
        if (g && g->chunk_bloom_data) {
            ctx->changed_paths = 1;
            ctx->bloom_settings = g->bloom_filter_settings;
        }
    }

, which drags forward Bloom filter settings across adjacent layers.

This doesn't quite address all cases, however, since it is possible for
intermediate layers to contain no Bloom filters at all. For example,
suppose we have two layers in a commit-graph chain, say, {G1, G2}. If G1
contains Bloom filters, but G2 doesn't, a new G3 (whose base graph is
G2) may be written with arbitrary Bloom filter settings, because we only
check the immediately adjacent layer's settings for compatibility.

This behavior has existed since the introduction of changed-path Bloom
filters. But in practice, this is not such a big deal, since the only
way up until this point to modify the Bloom filter settings at write
time is with the undocumented environment variables:

  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_BITS_PER_ENTRY
  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_NUM_HASHES
  - GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS

(it is still possible to tweak MAX_CHANGED_PATHS between layers, but
this does not affect reads, so is allowed to differ across multiple
graph layers).

But in future commits, we will introduce another parameter to change the
hash algorithm used to compute Bloom fingerprints itself. This will be
exposed via a configuration setting, making this foot-gun easier to use.

To prevent this potential issue, validate that all layers of a split
commit-graph have compatible settings with the newest layer which
contains Bloom filters.

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/, 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
