patch-ids: refuse to compute patch-id for merge commit The patch-id code which powers "log --cherry-pick" doesn't look at whether each commit is a merge or not. It just feeds the commit's first parent to the diff, and ignores any additional parents. In theory, this might be useful if you wanted to find equivalence between, say, a merge commit and a squash-merge that does the same thing. But it also promotes a false equivalence between distinct merges. For example, every "merge -s ours" would look identical to an empty commit (which is true in a sense, but presumably there was a value in merging in the discarded history). Since patch-ids are meant for throwing away duplicates, we should err on the side of _not_ matching such merges. Moreover, we may spend a lot of extra time computing these merge diffs. In the case that inspired this patch, a "git format-patch --cherry-pick" dropped from over 3 minutes to less than 3 seconds. This seems pretty drastic, but is easily explained. The command was invoked by a "git rebase" of an older topic branch; there had been tens of thousands of commits on the upstream branch in the meantime. In addition, this project used a topic-branch workflow with occasional "back-merges" from "master" to each topic (to resolve conflicts on the topics rather than in the merge commits). So there were not only extra merges, but the diffs for these back-merges were generally quite large (because they represented _everything_ that had been merged to master since the topic branched). This patch treats a merge fed to commit_patch_id() or add_commit_patch_id() as an error, and a lookup for such a merge via has_commit_patch_id() will always return NULL. An earlier version of the patch tried to distinguish between "error" and "patch id for merges not defined", but that becomes unnecessarily complicated. The only callers are: 1. revision traversals which want to do --cherry-pick; they call add_commit_patch_id(), but do not care if it fails. They only want to add what we can, look it up later with has_commit_patch_id(), and err on the side of not-matching. 2. format-patch --base, which calls commit_patch_id(). This _does_ notice errors, but should never feed a merge in the first place (and if it were to do so accidentally, then this patch is a strict improvement; we notice the bug rather than generating a bogus patch-id). So in both cases, this does the right thing. Helped-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs The `rebase` family of Git commands avoid applying patches that were already integrated upstream. They do that by using the revision walking option that computes the patch IDs of the two sides of the rebase (local-only patches vs upstream-only ones) and skipping those local patches whose patch ID matches one of the upstream ones. In many cases, this causes unnecessary churn, as already the set of paths touched by a given commit would suffice to determine that an upstream patch has no local equivalent. This hurts performance in particular when there are a lot of upstream patches, and/or large ones. Therefore, let's introduce the concept of a "diff-header-only" patch ID, compare those first, and only evaluate the "full" patch ID lazily. Please note that in contrast to the "full" patch IDs, those "diff-header-only" patch IDs are prone to collide with one another, as adjacent commits frequently touch the very same files. Hence we now have to be careful to allow multiple hash entries with the same hash. We accomplish that by using the hashmap_add() function that does not even test for hash collisions. This also allows us to evaluate the full patch ID lazily, i.e. only when we found commits with matching diff-header-only patch IDs. We add a performance test that demonstrates ~1-6% improvement. In practice this will depend on various factors such as how many upstream changes and how big those changes are along with whether file system caches are cold or warm. As Git's test suite has no way of catching performance regressions, we also add a regression test that verifies that the full patch ID computation is skipped when the diff-header-only computation suffices.

patch-ids: handle duplicate hashmap entries This fixes a bug introduced in dfb7a1b4d0 (patch-ids: stop using a hand-rolled hashmap implementation, 2016-07-29) in which git rev-list --cherry-pick A...B will fail to suppress commits reachable from A even if a commit with matching patch-id appears in B. Around the time of that commit, the algorithm for "--cherry-pick" looked something like this: 0. Traverse all of the commits, marking them as being on the left or right side of the symmetric difference. 1. Iterate over the left-hand commits, inserting a patch-id struct for each into a hashmap, and pointing commit->util to the patch-id struct. 2. Iterate over the right-hand commits, checking which are present in the hashmap. If so, we exclude the commit from the output _and_ we mark the patch-id as "seen". 3. Iterate again over the left-hand commits, checking whether commit->util->seen is set; if so, exclude them from the output. At the end, we'll have eliminated commits from both sides that have a matching patch-id on the other side. But there's a subtle assumption here: for any given patch-id, we must have exactly one struct representing it. If two commits from A both have the same patch-id and we allow duplicates in the hashmap, then we run into a problem: a. In step 1, we insert two patch-id structs into the hashmap. b. In step 2, our lookups will find only one of these structs, so only one "seen" flag is marked. c. In step 3, one of the commits in A will have its commit->util->seen set, but the other will not. We'll erroneously output the latter. Prior to dfb7a1b4d0, our hashmap did not allow duplicates. Afterwards, it used hashmap_add(), which explicitly does allow duplicates. At that point, the solution would have been easy: when we are about to add a duplicate, skip doing so and return the existing entry which matches. But it gets more complicated. In 683f17ec44 (patch-ids: replace the seen indicator with a commit pointer, 2016-07-29), our step 3 goes away entirely. Instead, in step 2, when the right-hand side finds a matching patch_id from the left-hand side, we can directly mark the left-hand patch_id->commit to be omitted. Solving that would be easy, too; there's a one-to-many relationship of patch-ids to commits, so we just need to keep a list. But there's more. Commit b3dfeebb92 (rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs, 2016-07-29) built on that by lazily computing the full patch-ids. So we don't even know when adding to the hashmap whether two commits truly have the same id. We'd have to tentatively assign them a list, and then possibly split them apart (possibly into N new structs) at the moment we compute the real patch-ids. This could work, but it's complicated and error-prone. Instead, let's accept that we may store duplicates, and teach the lookup side to be more clever. Rather than asking for a single matching patch-id, it will need to iterate over all matching patch-ids. This does mean examining every entry in a single hash bucket, but the worst-case for a hash lookup was already doing that. We'll keep the hashmap details out of the caller by providing a simple iteration interface. We can retain the simple has_commit_patch_id() interface for the other callers, but we'll simplify its return value into an integer, rather than returning the patch_id struct. That way they won't be tempted to look at the "commit" field of the return value without iterating.

patch-ids: refuse to compute patch-id for merge commit The patch-id code which powers "log --cherry-pick" doesn't look at whether each commit is a merge or not. It just feeds the commit's first parent to the diff, and ignores any additional parents. In theory, this might be useful if you wanted to find equivalence between, say, a merge commit and a squash-merge that does the same thing. But it also promotes a false equivalence between distinct merges. For example, every "merge -s ours" would look identical to an empty commit (which is true in a sense, but presumably there was a value in merging in the discarded history). Since patch-ids are meant for throwing away duplicates, we should err on the side of _not_ matching such merges. Moreover, we may spend a lot of extra time computing these merge diffs. In the case that inspired this patch, a "git format-patch --cherry-pick" dropped from over 3 minutes to less than 3 seconds. This seems pretty drastic, but is easily explained. The command was invoked by a "git rebase" of an older topic branch; there had been tens of thousands of commits on the upstream branch in the meantime. In addition, this project used a topic-branch workflow with occasional "back-merges" from "master" to each topic (to resolve conflicts on the topics rather than in the merge commits). So there were not only extra merges, but the diffs for these back-merges were generally quite large (because they represented _everything_ that had been merged to master since the topic branched). This patch treats a merge fed to commit_patch_id() or add_commit_patch_id() as an error, and a lookup for such a merge via has_commit_patch_id() will always return NULL. An earlier version of the patch tried to distinguish between "error" and "patch id for merges not defined", but that becomes unnecessarily complicated. The only callers are: 1. revision traversals which want to do --cherry-pick; they call add_commit_patch_id(), but do not care if it fails. They only want to add what we can, look it up later with has_commit_patch_id(), and err on the side of not-matching. 2. format-patch --base, which calls commit_patch_id(). This _does_ notice errors, but should never feed a merge in the first place (and if it were to do so accidentally, then this patch is a strict improvement; we notice the bug rather than generating a bogus patch-id). So in both cases, this does the right thing. Helped-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
