* Rework object refs tracking to reduce memory usageSergey Vlasov2005-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Store pointers to referenced objects in a variable sized array instead of linked list. This cuts down memory usage of utilities which use object references; e.g., git-fsck-objects --full on the git.git repository consumes about 2 MB of memory tracked by Massif instead of 7 MB before the change. Object refs are still the biggest consumer of memory (57%), but the malloc overhead for a single block instead of a linked list is substantially smaller.

* [PATCH] Avoid building object ref lists when not neededLinus Torvalds2005-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it. However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight. So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to disable it, and use it in git-rev-list. Before: $ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l 12.28user 0.29system 0:12.57elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+26718minor)pagefaults 0swaps 59124 After this change: $ /usr/bin/time git-rev-list --objects v2.6.12..HEAD | wc -l 10.33user 0.18system 0:10.54elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+18509minor)pagefaults 0swaps 59124 and note how the number of pages touched by git-rev-list for this particular object list has shrunk from 26,718 (104 MB) to 18,509 (72 MB). Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time), but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.

* [PATCH] Remove "delta" object representation.Junio C Hamano2005-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | Packed delta files created by git-pack-objects seems to be the way to go, and existing "delta" object handling code has exposed the object representation details to too many places. Remove it while we refactor code to come up with a proper interface in sha1_file.c. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* Ooh. Make git-rev-list --object associate a name with objects.Linus Torvalds2005-06-26
| | | | | The name isn't unique, it's just the first name that object is reached through, so it's really nothing more than a hint.
* [PATCH] Parse tags for absent objectsDaniel Barkalow2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | Handle parsing a tag for a non-present object. This adds a function to lookup an object with lookup_* for * in a string, so that it can get the right storage based on the "type" line in the tag.

* [PATCH] Modify git-rev-list to linearise the commit history in merge order.jon@blackcubes.dyndns.org2005-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch linearises the GIT commit history graph into merge order which is defined by invariants specified in Documentation/git-rev-list.txt. The linearisation produced by this patch is superior in an objective sense to that produced by the existing git-rev-list implementation in that the linearisation produced is guaranteed to have the minimum number of discontinuities, where a discontinuity is defined as an adjacent pair of commits in the output list which are not related in a direct child-parent relationship. With this patch a graph like this: a4 --- | \ \ | b4 | |/ | | a3 | | | | | a2 | | | | c3 | | | | | c2 | b3 | | | /| | b2 | | | c1 | | / | b1 a1 | | | a0 | | / root Sorts like this: = a4 | c3 | c2 | c1 ^ b4 | b3 | b2 | b1 ^ a3 | a2 | a1 | a0 = root Instead of this: = a4 | c3 ^ b4 | a3 ^ c2 ^ b3 ^ a2 ^ b2 ^ c1 ^ a1 ^ b1 ^ a0 = root A test script, t/t6000-rev-list.sh, includes a test which demonstrates that the linearisation produced by --merge-order has less discontinuities than the linearisation produced by git-rev-list without the --merge-order flag specified. To see this, do the following: cd t ./t6000-rev-list.sh cd trash cat actual-default-order cat actual-merge-order The existing behaviour of git-rev-list is preserved, by default. To obtain the modified behaviour, specify --merge-order or --merge-order --show-breaks on the command line. This version of the patch has been tested on the git repository and also on the linux-2.6 repository and has reasonable performance on both - ~50-100% slower than the original algorithm. This version of the patch has incorporated a functional equivalent of the Linus' output limiting algorithm into the merge-order algorithm itself. This operates per the notes associated with Linus' commit 337cb3fb8da45f10fe9a0c3cf571600f55ead2ce. This version has incorporated Linus' feedback regarding proposed changes to rev-list.c. (see: [PATCH] Factor out filtering in rev-list.c) This version has improved the way sort_first_epoch marks commits as uninteresting.
