* 3% tighter packs for freeNicolas Pitre2006-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | This patch makes for 3.4% smaller pack with the git repository, and a bit more than 3% smaller pack with the kernel repository. And so with _no_ measurable CPU difference. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* diff-delta: bound hash list length to avoid O(m*n) behaviorNicolas Pitre2006-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The diff-delta code can exhibit O(m*n) behavior with some patological data set where most hash entries end up in the same hash bucket. To prevent this, a limit is imposed to the number of entries that can exist in the same hash bucket. Because of the above the code is a tiny bit more expensive on average, even if some small optimizations were added as well to atenuate the overhead. But the problematic samples used to diagnoze the issue are now orders of magnitude less expensive to process with only a slight loss in compression.

* diff-delta: big code simplificationNicolas Pitre2006-02-22
| | | | | | | This is much smaller and hopefully clearer code now. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* diff-delta: fold two special tests into one plus cleanupsNicolas Pitre2006-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Testing for realloc and size limit can be done with only one test per loop. Make it so and fix a theoretical off-by-one comparison error in the process. The output buffer memory allocation is also bounded by max_size when specified. Finally make some variable unsigned to allow the handling of files up to 4GB in size instead of 2GB.

* Use adler32() from zlib instead of defining our own.Peter Eriksen2006-02-05
| | | | | | | | Since we already depend on zlib, we don't need to define our own adler32(). Spotted by oprofile. Signed-off-by: Peter Eriksen <s022018@student.dtu.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* small cleanup for diff-delta.cNicolas Pitre2005-12-15
| | | | | | | | This patch removes unused remnants of the original xdiff source. No functional change. Possible tiny speed improvement. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* Revert "diff-delta.c: allow delta with empty blob."Junio C Hamano2005-12-12
| | | | | This reverts 962537a3eb03a118cf27d9d0da365a3216ed1caa commit to play safe.
* diff-delta.c: allow delta with empty blob.Junio C Hamano2005-12-12
| | | | | | | | Delta computation with an empty blob used to punt and returned NULL. This commit allows creation with empty blob; all combination of empty->empty, empty->something, and something->empty are allowed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* [PATCH] assorted delta code cleanupNicolas Pitre2005-06-29
| | | | | | | | | This is a wrap-up patch including all the cleanups I've done to the delta code and its usage. The most important change is the factorization of the delta header handling code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] denser delta header encodingNicolas Pitre2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | Since the delta data format is not tied to any actual git object anymore, now is the time to add a small improvement to the delta data header as it is been done for packed object header. This patch allows for reducing the delta header of about 2 bytes and makes for simpler code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* Add a "max_size" parameter to diff_delta()Linus Torvalds2005-06-25
| | | | | | | Anything that generates a delta to see if two objects are close usually isn't interested in the delta ends up being bigger than some specified size, and this allows us to stop delta generation early when that happens.
* [PATCH] Deltification library work by Nicolas Pitre.Nicolas Pitre2005-05-19
This patch adds the basic library functions to create and replay delta information. Also included is a test-delta utility to validate the code. diff-delta was based on LibXDiff written by Davide Libenzi Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
