tests: allow user to specify trash directory locationJeff King Sun, 9 Aug 2009 08:39:45 +0000 (04:39 -0400)

tests: allow user to specify trash directory location

The tests generate a large amount of I/O activity creating
and destroying repositories and files. We can improve the
time it takes to run the test suite by creating trash
directories on filesystems with better performance
characteristic, even though we may not want the rest of the
git repository on those filesystems (e.g., because they are
not network connected, or because they are temporary
ramdisks).

For example, on a dual processor system:

$ cd t && time make -j32
real 1m51.562s
user 0m59.260s
sys 1m20.933s

# /dev/shm is tmpfs
$ cd t && time make -j32 GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/dev/shm"
real 1m1.484s
user 0m53.555s
sys 1m5.264s

We almost halve the wall clock time, and we utilize the
dual processors much better.

tests: provide $TRASH_DIRECTORY variableJeff King Sun, 9 Aug 2009 08:38:11 +0000 (04:38 -0400)

tests: provide $TRASH_DIRECTORY variable

Most scripts don't care about the absolute path to the trash

together $TEST_DIRECTORY and $test itself to get an absolute
directory.

Instead, let's provide a $TRASH_DIRECTORY which specifies
the same thing. This keeps the $test variable internal to
test-lib.sh and paves the way for trash directories in other
locations.

The $TEST_DIRECTORY variable allows tests to find the
top-level test directory regardless of the current working
directory.

In the past, this has been used to accomodate tests which
change directories, but it is also the first step to being
able to move trash directories outside of the
$TEST_DIRECTORY hierarchy.

block-sha1: improved SHA1 hashing

I think I have found a way to avoid the gcc crazyness.

Lookie here:

# TIME[s] SPEED[MB/s]

openssl 1.609 379.3
spelvin 1.675 364.5
spelvina 1.601 381.3
nettle 1.591 383.6

notice? I outperform all the hand-tuned asm on 32-bit too. By quite a
margin, in fact.

Now, I didn't try a P4, and it's possible that it won't do that there, but
the 32-bit code generation sure looks impressive on my Nehalem box. The
magic? I force the stores to the 512-bit hash bucket to be done in order.
That seems to help a lot.

The diff is trivial (on top of the "rename registers with cpp" patch), as
appended. And it does seem to fix the P4 issues too, although I can
obviously (once again) only test Prescott, and only in 64-bit mode:

# TIME[s] SPEED[MB/s]
rfc3174 1.662 36.73
rfc3174 1.64 37.22
linus 0.2523 241.9

linusas2 0.4487 136
mozilla 0.9704 62.9
mozillaas 0.9399 64.94

that's some really impressive improvement. All from just saying "do the
stores in the order I told you to, dammit!" to the compiler.

When making a histogram of delta chain length in the pack, the program
collects number of objects whose delta depth exceeds the MAX_CHAIN limit
in histogram[0], and showed it as the number of items that exceeds the
limit correctly. HOWEVER, it also showed the same number labeled as
"chain length = 0".

In fact, we are not showing the number of objects whose chain length is
zero, i.e. the base objects. Correct this.

status: show worktree status of conflicted paths separately

When a path is unmerged in the index, we used to always say "unmerged" in
the "Changed but not updated" section, even when the path was deleted in
the work tree.

Remove unmerged entries from the "Updated" section, and create a new
section "Unmerged paths". Describe how the different stages conflict
in more detail in this new section.

Note that with the current 3-way merge policy (with or without recursive),
certain combinations of index stages should never happen. For example,
having only stage #2 means that a path that did not exist in the common
ancestor was added by us while the other branch did not do anything to it,
which would have autoresolved to take our addition. The code nevertheless
prepares for the possibility that future merge policies may leave a path
in such a state.

am: allow individual e-mail files as input

We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am". Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one. Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.

This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection. The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.

Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.

A test is added to t4150 to demonstrate this feature.

gitweb: add support for XZ compressed snapshotsMark A Rada Thu, 6 Aug 2009 14:28:25 +0000 (10:28 -0400)

gitweb: add support for XZ compressed snapshots

The XZ compression format uses the LZMA2 compression algorithm, which
often yields higher compression ratios than both GZip and BZip2 at the
cost of using more CPU time and RAM. XZ is the slowest for compression,
but still much faster than BZip2 for decompression, almost comparable
to GZip (see benchmarks below).

Some simple benchmarks show the pros and cons of using XZ compression;
starting with an already tarball'd archive of the repos listed below.
Memory usage seemed to be consistent for any given algorithm at their
respective default compression levels.

CPU: AMD Sempron 3400+ (1 core @ 1.8GHz with 256K L2 cache)

unxz 0.05s user 0.00s system 99% cpu 0.058 total

From a time and memory perspective, nothing compares to GZip, but if
given an average upload speed of 20KB/s, it would take ~400 seconds
longer to transfer the BZip2'd kernel snapshot than the XZ snapshot;
the transfer time difference is even greater between GZip and XZ. The
real time savings are relatively the same for all test cases, but less
dramatic for smaller repositories.

XZ decompresses ~1.8-2 times slower than GZip, and ~2.7-3.75 times
faster than BZip2; XZ gets relatively faster as snapshots get larger.
However, XZ takes relatively longer to compress as snapshots get larger.

The downside for XZ'd snapshots is the large CPU and memory load put on
the server to generate the compressed snapshot, though XZ will
eventually
have threading support, and the real clock time for making XZ'd
snapshots
would decrease if the server had a beefy multi-core CPU.

XZ compression is disabled by default to allow upgrades to take place
without any surprises, as the CPU and memory requirements will be an
issue for high load or lightweight servers. Also, the XZ format is still
new (format declared stable ~6 months ago), and there have been no
"stable" releases of the utils yet.

The mozilla-SHA1 code did this 80-word array for the 80 iterations. But
the SHA1 state is really just 512 bits, and you can actually keep it in
a kind of "circular queue" of just 16 words instead.

This requires us to do the xor updates as we go along (rather than as a
pre-phase), but that's really what we want to do anyway.

This gets me really close to the OpenSSL performance on my Nehalem.

git-describe: Die early if there are no possible descriptions

If we find no refs that may be used for git-describe with the current
options, then die early instead of pointlessly walking the whole
history.

In git.git with all the tags dropped, this makes "git describe" go down
from 0.244 to 0.003 seconds for me. This is especially noticeable with
"git submodule status" which calls describe with increasing levels of
allowed refs to be matched. For a submodule without tags, this means
that it walks the whole history in the submodule twice (first annotated,
then plain tags), just to find out that it can't describe the commit
anyway.

git-rev-list.txt: Clarify the use of multiple revision arguments

If one thinks of a revision as the set of commits which can be reached
from the rev, and of ^rev as the complement, then multiple arguments to
git rev-list can be neither understood as the intersection nor the union
of the individual sets.

But set language is the natural as well as logical language in which to
phrase this. So, add a paragraph which explains multiple arguments using
set language.

don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'Nicolas Pitre Wed, 5 Aug 2009 20:55:07 +0000 (16:55 -0400)

don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'

I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository. However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt. So unbounded caches are never a good idea.

A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.

Allow mailsplit (and hence git-am) to handle mails with CRLF line-endings

It is not that uncommon to have mails with DOS line-ending, notably
Thunderbird and web mailers like Gmail (when saving what they call
"original" message). So modify mailsplit to convert CRLF line-endings to
just LF.

Since git-rebase is built on top of git-am, add an option to mailsplit to
be used by git-am when it is acting on behalf of git-rebase, to refrain
from doing this conversion.

And add a test to make sure that rebase still works.

Make 'git stash -k' a short form for 'git stash save --keep-index'

To save me from the carpal tunnel syndrome, make 'git stash' accept
the short option '-k' instead of '--keep-index', and for even more
convenience, let's DWIM when this developer forgot to type the 'save'
command.

merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling rename... Junio C Hamano Fri, 31 Jul 2009 00:38:15 +0000 (17:38 -0700)

merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling rename clashes

When a branch moves A to B while the other branch created B (or moved C to
B), the code tried to rename one of them to B~something to preserve both
versions, and failed to register temporary resolution for the original
path B at stage#0 during virtual ancestor computation. This left the
index in unmerged state and caused a segfault.

A better solution is to merge these two versions of B's in place and use
the (potentially conflicting) result as the intermediate merge result in
the virtual ancestor.

git-checkout: be careful about untracked symlinksLinus Torvalds Thu, 30 Jul 2009 03:22:25 +0000 (20:22 -0700)

git-checkout: be careful about untracked symlinks

This fixes the case where an untracked symlink that points at a directory
with tracked paths confuses the checkout logic, demostrated in t6035.

lstat_cache: guard against full match of length of... Kjetil Barvik Sun, 14 Jun 2009 13:08:28 +0000 (15:08 +0200)

lstat_cache: guard against full match of length of 'name' parameter

longest_path_match() in symlinks.c does exactly what it's name says,
but in some cases that match can be too long, since the
has_*_leading_path() functions assumes that the match will newer be as
long as the name string given to the function.

fix this by adding an extra if test which checks if the match length
is equal to the 'len' parameter.

Demonstrate bugs when a directory is replaced with... Pickens, James E Wed, 29 Jul 2009 21:02:39 +0000 (14:02 -0700)

Demonstrate bugs when a directory is replaced with a symlink

This test creates two directories, a/b and a/b-2, then replaces a/b with
a symlink to a/b-2, then merges that change into the 'baseline' commit,
which contains an unrelated change.

There are two bugs:
1. 'git checkout' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.
2. 'git merge' incorrectly deletes work tree file a/b-2/d.

The test goes on to create another branch in which a/b-2 is replaced
with a symlink to a/b (i.e., the reverse of what was done the first
time), and merge it into the 'baseline' commit.

There is a different bug:
3. The merge should be clean, but git reports a conflict.

clean: require double -f options to nuke nested git repository and work tree

When you have an embedded git work tree in your work tree (be it
an orphaned submodule, or an independent checkout of an unrelated
project), "git clean -d -f" blindly descended into it and removed
everything. This is rarely what the user wants.

Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transitionAlex Riesen Mon, 11 May 2009 09:31:42 +0000 (11:31 +0200)

Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition

The problem is that if a file was replaced with a directory containing
another file with the same content and mode, an attempt to merge it
with a branch descended from a commit before this F->D transition will
cause merge-recursive to break. It breaks even if there were no
conflicting changes on that other branch.
