"git last-modified" used to mishandle "--" to mark the beginning of
pathspec, which has been corrected.
* js/last-modified-with-sparse-checkouts:
last-modified: support sparse checkouts
|
|
In a sparse checkout, a user might want to run `last-modified` on a
directory outside the worktree.
And even in non-sparse checkouts, a user might need to run that command
on a directory that does not exist in the worktree.
These use cases should be supported via the `--` separator between
revision and file arguments, which is even advertised in the
documentation. This patch fixes a tiny bug that prevents that from
working.

git-last-modified(1) uses a scratch bitmap to keep track of paths that
have been changed between commits. To avoid reallocating a bitmap on
each call of process_parent(), the scratch bitmap is kept and reused.
Although, it seems an incorrect length is passed to memset(3).
`struct bitmap` uses `eword_t` to for internal storage. This type is
typedef'd to uint64_t. To fully zero the memory used by the bitmap,
multiply the length (saved in `struct bitmap::word_alloc`) by the size
of `eword_t`.

The current implementation of git-last-modified(1) works by doing a
revision walk, and inspecting the diff at each level of that walk to
annotate entries remaining in the hashmap of paths. In other words, if
the diff at some level touches a path which has not yet been associated
with a commit, then that commit becomes associated with the path.
While a perfectly reasonable implementation, it can perform poorly in
either one of two scenarios:
1. There are many entries of interest, in which case there is simply
a lot of work to do.
2. Or, there are (even a few) entries which have not been updated in a
long time, and so we must walk through a lot of history in order to
find a commit that touches that path.
This patch rewrites the last-modified implementation that addresses the
second point. The idea behind the algorithm is to propagate a set of
'active' paths (a path is 'active' if it does not yet belong to a
commit) up to parents and do a truncated revision walk.
The walk is truncated because it does not produce a revision for every
change in the original pathspec, but rather only for active paths.
More specifically, consider a priority queue of commits sorted by
generation number. First, enqueue the set of boundary commits with all
paths in the original spec marked as interesting.
Then, while the queue is not empty, do the following:
1. Pop an element, say, 'c', off of the queue, making sure that 'c'
isn't reachable by anything in the '--not' set.
2. For each parent 'p' (with index 'parent_i') of 'c', do the
following:
a. Compute the diff between 'c' and 'p'.
b. Pass any active paths that are TREESAME from 'c' to 'p'.
c. If 'p' has any active paths, push it onto the queue.
3. Any path that remains active on 'c' is associated to that commit.
This ends up being equivalent to doing something like 'git log -1 --
$path' for each path simultaneously. But, it allows us to go much faster
than the original implementation by limiting the number of diffs we
compute, since we can avoid parts of history that would have been
considered by the revision walk in the original implementation, but are
known to be uninteresting to us because we have already marked all paths
in that area to be inactive.
To avoid computing many first-parent diffs, add another trick on top of
this and check if all paths active in 'c' are DEFINITELY NOT in c's
Bloom filter. Since the commit-graph only stores first-parent diffs in
the Bloom filters, we can only apply this trick to first-parent diffs.
Comparing the performance of this new algorithm shows about a 2.5x
improvement on git.git:
Benchmark 1: master no bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 2.868 s ± 0.023 s [User: 2.811 s, System: 0.051 s]
Range (min … max): 2.847 s … 2.926 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: master with bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 949.9 ms ± 15.2 ms [User: 907.6 ms, System: 39.5 ms]
Range (min … max): 933.3 ms … 971.2 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 3: HEAD no bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 782.0 ms ± 6.3 ms [User: 740.7 ms, System: 39.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 776.4 ms … 798.2 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 4: HEAD with bloom
Time (mean ± σ): 307.1 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 276.4 ms, System: 29.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 303.7 ms … 309.5 ms 10 runs
Summary
HEAD with bloom ran
2.55 ± 0.02 times faster than HEAD no bloom
3.09 ± 0.05 times faster than master with bloom
9.34 ± 0.09 times faster than master no bloom
In short, the existing implementation is comparably fast *with* Bloom
filters as the new implementation is *without* Bloom filters. So, most
repositories should get a dramatic speed-up by just deploying this (even
without computing Bloom filters), and all repositories should get faster
still when computing Bloom filters.
When comparing a more extreme example of
`git last-modified -- COPYING t`, the difference is even 5 times better:
Benchmark 1: master
Time (mean ± σ): 4.372 s ± 0.057 s [User: 4.286 s, System: 0.062 s]
Range (min … max): 4.308 s … 4.509 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 826.3 ms ± 22.3 ms [User: 784.1 ms, System: 39.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 810.6 ms … 881.2 ms 10 runs
Summary
HEAD ran
5.29 ± 0.16 times faster than master
As an added benefit, results are more consistent now. For example
implementation in 'master' gives:
$ git log --max-count=1 --format=%H -- pkt-line.h
15df15fe07ef66b51302bb77e393f3c5502629de
$ git last-modified -- pkt-line.h
15df15fe07ef66b51302bb77e393f3c5502629de pkt-line.h
$ git last-modified | grep pkt-line.h
5b49c1af03e600c286f63d9d9c9fb01403230b9f pkt-line.h
With the changes in this patch the results of git-last-modified(1)
always match those of `git log --max-count=1`.
One thing to note though, the results might be outputted in a different
order than before. This is not considerd to be an issue because nowhere
is documented the order is guaranteed.

The recently introduced new subcommand git-last-modified(1) runs into an
error in some scenarios. It then would exit with the message:
BUG: paths remaining beyond boundary in last-modified
This seems to happens for example when criss-cross merges are involved.
In that scenario, the function diff_tree_combined() gets called.
The function diff_tree_combined() copies the `struct diff_options` from
the input `struct rev_info` to override some flags. One flag is
`recursive`, which is always set to 1. This has been the case since the
inception of this function in af3feefa1d (diff-tree -c: show a merge
commit a bit more sensibly., 2006-01-24).
This behavior is incompatible with git-last-modified(1), when called
non-recursive (which is the default).
The last-modified machinery uses a hashmap for all the paths it wants to
get the last-modified commit for. Through log_tree_commit() the callback
mark_path() is called. The diff machinery uses diff_tree_combined()
internally, and due to it's recursive behavior the callback receives
entries inside subtrees, but not the subtree entries themselves. So a
directory is never expelled from the hashmap, and the BUG() statement
gets hit.
Because there are many callers calling into diff_tree_combined(), both
directly and indirectly, we cannot simply change it's behavior.
Instead, add a flag `no_recursive_diff_tree_combined` which supresses
the behavior of diff_tree_combined() to override `recursive` and set
this flag in builtin/last-modified.c.

A new command "git last-modified" has been added to show the closest
ancestor commit that touched each path.
* tc/last-modified:
last-modified: use Bloom filters when available
t/perf: add last-modified perf script
last-modified: new subcommand to show when files were last modified

Our 'git last-modified' performs a revision walk, and computes a diff at
each point in the walk to figure out whether a given revision changed
any of the paths it considers interesting.
When changed-path Bloom filters are available, we can avoid computing
many such diffs. Before computing a diff, we first check if any of the
remaining paths of interest were possibly changed at a given commit by
consulting its Bloom filter. If any of them are, we are resigned to
compute the diff.
If none of those queries returned "maybe", we know that the given commit
doesn't contain any changed paths which are interesting to us. So, we
can avoid computing it in this case.
Comparing the perf test results on git.git:

Similar to git-blame(1), introduce a new subcommand
git-last-modified(1). This command shows the most recent modification to
paths in a tree. It does so by expanding the tree at a given commit,
taking note of the current state of each path, and then walking
backwards through history looking for commits where each path changed
into its final commit ID.
