Add t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c test code
to demonstrate performance times for lazy_init_name_hash()
using the original single-threaded and the new multi-threaded
code paths.
Includes a --dump option to dump the created hashmaps to
stdout. You can use this to run both code paths and
confirm that they generate the same hashmaps.
Includes a --analyze option to analyze performance of both
code paths over a range of index sizes to help you find a
lower bound for the LAZY_THREAD_COST in name-hash.c.
For example, passing "-a 4000" will set "istate.cache_nr"
to 4000 and then try the multi-threaded code -- probably
giving 2 threads with 2000 entries each. It will then
run both the single-threaded (1x4000) and the multi-threaded
(2x2000) and compare the times. It will then repeat the
test with 8000, 12000, and etc. so that you can see the
cross over.

name-hash: perf improvement for lazy_init_name_hash
Improve performance of lazy_init_name_hash() when
ignore_case is set. Teach name-hash to build the
istate.name_hash and istate.dir_hash simultaneously
using a forward-diving technique on the pathname
of the index_entry, rather than adding name_hash
entries and then searching backwards in the pathname
for parent directories.
This borrows algorithm ideas from clear_ce_flags_{1,dir}.
Multiple threads are used with the new algorithm to
speed hashmap construction.
This new code path is only used when threads are present
(a compiler settings) and when the index is large enough
to warrant the pthread complexity.
The code in clear_ce_flags_dir() uses a linear search to
find the adjacent index entries with the same prefix; a
binary search is used here handle_range_dir() to further
speed things up.
The size of LAZY_THREAD_COST was determined from rough
analysis using:

Previously hashmap_init() was given 0, causing a 64 bucket
hashmap to be created. When working with very large
repositories, this would cause numerous rehash() calls to
realloc and rebalance the hashmap. This is especially true
when the worktree is deep, with many directories containing
a few files.

t7810: avoid assumption about invalid regex syntax
A few of the tests want to check that "git grep -P -E" will
override -P with -E, and vice versa. To do so, we use a
regex with "\x{..}", which is valid in PCRE but not defined
by POSIX (for basic or extended regular expressions).
However, POSIX declares quite a lot of syntax, including
"\x", as "undefined". That leaves implementations free to
extend the standard if they choose. At least one, musl libc,
implements "\x" in the same way as PCRE. Our tests check
that "-E" complains about "\x", which fails with musl.
We can fix this by finding some construct which behaves
reliably on both PCRE and POSIX, but differently in each
system.
One such construct is the use of backslash inside brackets.
In PCRE, "[\d]" interprets "\d" as it would outside the
brackets, matching a digit. Whereas in POSIX, the backslash
must be treated literally, and we match either it or a
literal "d". Moreover, implementations are not free to
change this according to POSIX, so we should be able to rely
on it.

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death
When you hit ^C to interrupt a git command going to a pager,
this usually leaves the pager running. But when a dashed
external is in use, the pager ends up in a funny state and
quits (but only after eating one more character from the
terminal!). This fixes it.
Explaining the reason will require a little background.
When git runs a pager, it's important for the git process to
hang around and wait for the pager to finish, even though it
has no more data to feed it. This is because git spawns the
pager as a child, and thus the git process is the session
leader on the terminal. After it dies, the pager will finish
its current read from the terminal (eating the one
character), and then get EIO trying to read again.
When you hit ^C, that sends SIGINT to git and to the pager,
and it's a similar situation. The pager ignores it, but the
git process needs to hang around until the pager is done. We
addressed that long ago in a3da882120 (pager: do
wait_for_pager on signal death, 2009-01-22).
But when you have a dashed external (or an alias pointing to
a builtin, which will re-exec git for the builtin), there's
an extra process in the mix. For instance, running:
$ git -c alias.l=log l
will end up with a process tree like:
git (parent)
\
git-log (child)
\
less (pager)
If you hit ^C, SIGINT goes to all of them. The pager ignores
it, and the child git process will end up in wait_for_pager().
But the parent git process will die, and the usual EIO
trouble happens.
So we really want the parent git process to wait_for_pager(),
but of course it doesn't know anything about the pager at
all, since it was started by the child. However, we can
have it wait on the git-log child, which in turn is waiting
on the pager. And that's what this patch does.
There are a few design decisions here worth explaining:
1. The new feature is attached to run-command's
clean_on_exit feature. Partly this is convenience,
since that feature already has a signal handler that
deals with child cleanup.
But it's also a meaningful connection. The main reason
that dashed externals use clean_on_exit is to bind the
two processes together. If somebody kills the parent
with a signal, we propagate that to the child (in this
instance with SIGINT, we do propagate but it doesn't
matter because the original signal went to the whole
process group). Likewise, we do not want the parent
to go away until the child has done so.
In a traditional Unix world, we'd probably accomplish
this binding by just having the parent execve() the
child directly. But since that doesn't work on Windows,
everything goes through run_command's more spawn-like
interface.
2. We do _not_ automatically waitpid() on any
clean_on_exit children. For dashed externals this makes
sense; we know that the parent is doing nothing but
waiting for the child to exit anyway. But with other
children, it's possible that the child, after getting
the signal, could be waiting on the parent to do
something (like closing a descriptor). If we were to
wait on such a child, we'd end up in a deadlock. So
this errs on the side of caution, and lets callers
enable the feature explicitly.
3. When we send children the cleanup signal, we send all
the signals first, before waiting on any children. This
is to avoid the case where one child might be waiting
on another one to exit, causing a deadlock. We inform
all of them that it's time to die before reaping any.
In practice, there is only ever one dashed external run
from a given process, so this doesn't matter much now.
But it future-proofs us if other callers start using
the wait_after_clean mechanism.
There's no automated test here, because it would end up racy
and unportable. But it's easy to reproduce the situation by
running the log command given above and hitting ^C.

execv_dashed_external: stop exiting with negative code
When we try to exec a git sub-command, we pass along the
status code from run_command(). But that may return -1 if we
ran into an error with pipe() or execve(). This tends to
work (and end up as 255 due to twos-complement wraparound
and truncation), but in general it's probably a good idea to
avoid negative exit codes for portability.
We can easily translate to the normal generic "128" code we
get when syscalls cause us to die.

When we run a dashed external, we use the one-liner
run_command_v_opt() to do so. Let's switch to using a
child_process struct, which has two advantages:
1. We can drop all of the allocation and cleanup code for
building our custom argv array, and just rely on the
builtin argv_array (at the minor cost of doing a few
extra mallocs).
2. We have access to the complete range of child_process
options, not just the ones that the "_opt()" form can
forward.

git_exec_path: do not return the result of getenv()
The result of getenv() is not guaranteed by POSIX to last
beyond another call to getenv(), or setenv(), etc. We

Technically, it is correct that git_exec_path() returns a possibly

that we call system_path() only once, which plugs a potential leak.

blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each file
It's possible for content currently found in one file to
have originated in two separate files, each of which may
have been modified in some single older commit. The
--porcelain output generates an incorrect "previous" header
in this case, whereas --line-porcelain gets it right. The
problem is that the porcelain output tries to omit repeated
details of commits, and treats "previous" as a property of
the commit, when it is really a property of the blamed block
of lines.
Let's look at an example. In a case like this, you might see
this output from --line-porcelain:
The "filename" fields tell us that the two lines are from
two different files. But notice that the filename also
appears in the "previous" field, which tells us where to
start a re-blame. The second content line never appeared in
file_one at all, so we would obviously need to re-blame from
file_two (or possibly even some other file, if had just been
renamed to file_two in SOME_SHA1).
So far so good. Now here's what --porcelain looks like:
We've dropped the author and committer fields from the
second line, as they would just be repeats. But we can't
omit "filename", because it depends on the actual block of
blamed lines, not just the commit. This is handled by
emit_porcelain_details(), which will show the filename
either if it is the first mention of the commit _or_ if the
commit has multiple paths in it.
But we don't give "previous" the same handling. It's written
inside emit_one_suspect_detail(), which bails early if we've
already seen that commit. And so the output above is wrong;
a reader would assume that the correct place to re-blame
line two is from file_one, but that's obviously nonsense.
Let's treat "previous" the same as "filename", and show it
fresh whenever we know we are in a confusing case like this.

You can already ask blame for full sha1s with "-l" or with
"--abbrev=40". But for consistency with other parts of Git,
we should support "--no-abbrev".
Worse, blame already accepts --no-abbrev, but it's totally
broken. When we see --no-abbrev, the abbrev variable is set
to 0, which is then used as a printf precision. For regular
sha1s, that means we print nothing at all (which is very
wrong). For boundary commits we decrement it to "-1", which
printf interprets as "no limit" (which is almost correct,
except it misses the 39-length magic explained in the
previous commit).
Let's detect --no-abbrev and behave as if --abbrev=40 was
given.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The blame command internally adds 1 to any requested sha1
abbreviation length, and then subtracts it when outputting a
boundary commit. This lets regular and boundary sha1s line
up visually, but it misses one corner case.
When the requested length is 40, we bump the value to 41.
But since we only have 40 characters, that's all we can show
(fortunately the truncation is done by a printf precision
field, so it never tries to read past the end of the
buffer). So a normal sha1 shows 40 hex characters, and a
boundary sha1 shows "^" plus 40 hex characters. The result
is misaligned.
The "-l" option to show long sha1s gets around this by
skipping the "abbrev" variable entirely and just always
using GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ. This avoids the "+1" issue, but it
does mean that boundary commits only have 39 characters
printed. This is somewhat odd, but it does look good
visually: the results are aligned and left-justified. The
alternative would be to allocate an extra column that would
contain either an extra space or the "^" boundary marker.
As this is by definition the human-readable view, it's
probably not that big a deal either way (and of course
--porcelain, etc, correctly produce correct 40-hex sha1s).
But for consistency, this patch teaches --abbrev=40 to
produce the same output as "-l" (always left-aligned, with

We generate the squash commit message incrementally running
a sed script once for each commit. It parses "This is
a combination of <N> commits" from the first line of the
existing message, adds one to <N>, and uses the result as
the number of our current message.
Since f2d17068fd (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of
squash for translation, 2016-06-17), the first line may be
localized, and sed uses a pretty liberal regex, looking for:
/^#.*([0-9][0-9]*)/
The "[0-9][0-9]*" tries to match double digits, but it
doesn't quite work. The first ".*" is greedy, so if you
have:
This is a combination of 10 commits.
it will eat up "This is a combination of 1", leaving "0" to
match the first "[0-9]" digit, and then skipping the
optional match of "[0-9]*".
As a result, the count resets every 10 commits, and a
15-commit squash would end up as:
# This is a combination of 5 commits.
# This is the 1st commit message:
...
# This is the commit message #2:
... and so on ..
# This is the commit message #10:
...
# This is the commit message #1:
...
# This is the commit message #2:
... etc, up to 5 ...
We can fix this by making the ".*" less greedy. Instead of
depending on ".*?" working portably, we can just limit the
match to non-digit characters, which accomplishes the same
thing.

Since 4aff646d17 (archive-zip: mark text files in archives,
2015-03-05), the zip archiver will look at the userdiff
driver to decide whether a file is text or binary. This
usually doesn't need to look any further than the attributes
themselves (e.g., "-diff", etc). But if the user defines a
custom driver like "diff=foo", we need to look at
"diff.foo.binary" in the config. Prior to this patch, we
didn't actually load it.

auto gc: don't write bitmaps for incremental repacks
When git gc --auto does an incremental repack of loose objects, we do
not expect to be able to write a bitmap; it is very likely that
objects in the new pack will have references to objects outside of the
pack. So we shouldn't try to write a bitmap, because doing so will
likely issue a warning.
This warning was making its way into gc.log. When the gc.log was
present, future auto gc runs would refuse to run.

config.abbrev: document the new default that auto-scales
We somehow forgot to update the "default is 7" in the
documentation. Also give a way to explicitly ask the auto-scaling
by setting config.abbrev to "auto".
