07047d6829 cocci: apply "pending" index-compatibility to some "builtin/*.c"
Apply "index-compatibility.pending.cocci" rule to "builtin/*", but
exclude those where we conflict with in-flight changes.

As a result some of them end up using only "the_index", so let's have
them use the more narrow "USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE" rather than
"USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS".

Manual changes not made by coccinelle, that were squashed in:

* Whitespace-wrap argument lists for repo_hold_locked_index(),
  repo_read_index_preload() and repo_refresh_and_write_index(), in cases
  where the line became too long after the transformation.
* Change "refresh_cache()" to "refresh_index()" in a comment in
  "builtin/update-index.c".
* For those whose call was followed by perror("<macro-name>"), change
  it to perror("<function-name>"), referring to the new function.

bdafeae0b9 cache.h & test-tool.h: add & use "USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE"
In a preceding commit we fully applied the
"index-compatibility.pending.cocci" rule to "t/helper/*".

Let's now stop defining "USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS" in
test-tool.h itself, and instead instead define
"USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE" in the individual test helpers that need
it. This mirrors how we do the same thing in the "builtin/" directory.

666f53eb43 {builtin/*,repository}.c: add & use "USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE"
Split up the "USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS" into that setting
and a more narrow "USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE". In the case of these
built-ins we only need "the_index" variable, but not the compatibility
wrapper for functions we're not using.

Let's then have some users of "USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS" use
this more narrow and descriptive define.

For context: The USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS macro was added to
test-tool.h in f8adbec9fe (cache.h: flip
NO_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS switch, 2019-01-24).

dc594180d9 cocci & cache.h: apply variable section of "pending" index-compatibility
Mostly apply the part of "index-compatibility.pending.cocci" that
renames the global variables like "active_nr", which are a shorthand
to referencing (in that case) a struct member as "the_index.cache_nr".

In doing so move more of "index-compatibility.pending.cocci" to
"index-compatibility.cocci".

In the case of "active_nr" we'd have a textual conflict with
"ab/various-leak-fixes" in "next"[1]. Let's exclude that specific case
while moving the rule over from "pending".

031b2033e0 cocci & cache.h: apply a selection of "pending" index-compatibility
Apply a selection of rules in "index-compatibility.pending.cocci"
tree-wide, and in doing so migrate them to
"index-compatibility.cocci".

As in preceding commits the only manual changes here are the macro
removals in "cache.h", and the update to the '*.cocci" rules. The rest
of the C code changes are the result of applying those updated rules.

Move rules for some rarely used cache compatibility macros from
"index-compatibility.pending.cocci" to "index-compatibility.cocci" and
apply them.

0e6550a2c6 cocci: add a index-compatibility.pending.cocci
Add a coccinelle rule which covers the rest of the macros guarded by
"USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS" cache.h. If the result of this
were applied it can be reduced down to just:

	#ifdef USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS
	extern struct index_state the_index;
	#endif

But that patch is just under 2000 lines, so let's first add this as a
"pending", and then incrementally pick changes from it in subsequent
commits. In doing that we'll migrate rules from this
"index-compatibility.pending.cocci" to the "index-compatibility.cocci"
created in a preceding commit.

fbc1ed629e cocci & cache.h: remove rarely used "the_index" compat macros
Since 4aab5b46f4 (Make read-cache.c "the_index" free., 2007-04-01)
we've been undergoing a slow migration away from these macros, but
haven't made much progress since f8adbec9fe (cache.h: flip
NO_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS switch, 2019-01-24).

Let's move forward a bit by changing the users of those macros that
are rare enough that we can convert them in one go, and then remove
the compatibility shim.

The only manual change to the C code here is to "cache.h", the rest is
all the result of applying the new "index-compatibility.cocci".

Even though it's a one-off, let's keep the coccinelle rules for
now. We'll extend them in subsequent commits, and this will help
anything that's in-flight or out-of-tree to migrate.

8f56511945 builtin/{grep,log}.: don't define "USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS"
Adding "USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS" to these two appears to
have been unnecessary from the start, as going back and compiling
f8adbec9fe (cache.h: flip NO_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS switch,
2019-01-24) without that addition works.

Let's not have these ask for the compatibility macros from cache.h

variables into a structure., 2007-04-01) has not been used since

The rest of these are likewise unused, so let's not keep them

652bd0211d rebase: use 'skip_cache_tree_update' option
Enable the 'skip_cache_tree_update' option in both 'do_reset()'
('sequencer.c') and 'reset_head()' ('reset.c'). Both of these callers invoke
'prime_cache_tree()' after 'unpack_trees()', so we can remove an unnecessary
cache tree rebuild by skipping 'cache_tree_update()'.

When testing with 'p3400-rebase.sh' and 'p3404-rebase-interactive.sh', the
performance change of this update was negligible, likely due to the
operation being dominated by more expensive operations (like checking out
trees). However, since the change doesn't harm performance, it's worth
keeping this 'unpack_trees()' usage consistent with others that subsequently
invoke 'prime_cache_tree()'.

dc5d40f5bc read-tree: use 'skip_cache_tree_update' option
When running 'read-tree' with a single tree and no prefix,
'prime_cache_tree()' is called after the tree is unpacked. In that
situation, skip a redundant call to 'cache_tree_update()' in
'unpack_trees()' by enabling the 'skip_cache_tree_update' unpack option.

Removing the redundant cache tree update provides a substantial performance
improvement to 'git read-tree <tree-ish>', as shown by a test added to
'p0006-read-tree-checkout.sh':

Test                          before            after
----------------------------------------------------------------------
read-tree br_ballast_plus_1   3.94(1.80+1.57)   3.00(1.14+1.28) -23.9%

Note that the 'read-tree' in 't1022-read-tree-partial-clone.sh' is updated
to read two trees, rather than one. The test was first introduced in
d3da223f22 (cache-tree: prefetch in partial clone read-tree, 2021-07-23) to
exercise the 'cache_tree_update()' code path, as used in 'git merge'. Since
this patch drops the call to 'cache_tree_update()' in single-tree 'git
read-tree', change the test to use the two-tree variant so that
'cache_tree_update()' is called as intended.

Enable the 'skip_cache_tree_update' option in the variants that call
'prime_cache_tree()' after 'unpack_trees()' (specifically, 'git reset

in 'prime_cache_tree()', resulting in a small (but consistent) performance
improvement. From the newly-added 'p7102-reset.sh' test:

68fcd48baf unpack-trees: add 'skip_cache_tree_update' option
Add (disabled by default) option to skip the 'cache_tree_update()' at the
end of 'unpack_trees()'. In many cases, this cache tree update is redundant
because the caller of 'unpack_trees()' immediately follows it with
'prime_cache_tree()', rebuilding the entire cache tree from scratch. While
these operations aren't the most expensive part of operations like 'git
reset', the duplicate calls still create a minor unnecessary slowdown.

Introduce an option for callers to skip the 'cache_tree_update()' in
'unpack_trees()' if it is redundant (that is, if 'prime_cache_tree()' is
called afterwards). At the moment, no 'unpack_trees()' callers use the new
option; they will be updated in subsequent patches.

94fcf0e852 cache-tree: add perf test comparing update and prime
Add a performance test comparing the execution times of 'prime_cache_tree()'
and 'cache_tree_update(_, WRITE_TREE_SILENT | WRITE_TREE_REPAIR)'. The goal
of comparing these two is to identify which is the faster method for
rebuilding an invalid cache tree, ultimately to remove one when both are
(reundantly) called in immediate succession.

Both methods are fast, so the new tests in 'p0090-cache-tree.sh' must call
each tested function multiple times to ensure the reported times (to 0.01s
resolution) convey the differences between them.

The tests compare the timing of a 'test-tool cache-tree' run as a no-op (to
capture a baseline for the overhead associated with running the tool),
'cache_tree_update()', and 'prime_cache_tree()' on four scenarios:

- A completely valid cache tree
- A cache tree with 2 invalid paths
- A cache tree with 50 invalid paths
- A completely empty cache tree

Example results:

Test                                        this tree
-----------------------------------------------------------
0090.2: no-op, clean                        1.27(0.48+0.52)
0090.3: prime_cache_tree, clean             2.02(0.83+0.85)
0090.4: cache_tree_update, clean            1.30(0.49+0.54)
0090.5: no-op, invalidate 2                 1.29(0.48+0.54)
0090.6: prime_cache_tree, invalidate 2      1.98(0.81+0.83)
0090.7: cache_tree_update, invalidate 2     2.12(0.94+0.86)
0090.8: no-op, invalidate 50                1.32(0.50+0.55)
0090.9: prime_cache_tree, invalidate 50     2.10(0.86+0.89)
0090.10: cache_tree_update, invalidate 50   2.35(1.14+0.90)
0090.11: no-op, empty                       1.33(0.50+0.54)
0090.12: prime_cache_tree, empty            2.04(0.84+0.87)
0090.13: cache_tree_update, empty           2.51(1.27+0.92)

These timings show that, while 'cache_tree_update()' is faster when the
cache tree is completely valid, it is equal to or slower than
'prime_cache_tree()' when there are any invalid paths. Since the redundant
calls are mostly in scenarios where the cache tree will be at least
partially invalid (e.g., 'git reset --hard'), 'prime_cache_tree()' will
likely perform better than 'cache_tree_update()' in typical cases.

eb20e63f5a branch: gracefully handle '-d' on orphan HEAD
When deleting a branch, "git branch -d" has a safety check that ensures
the branch is merged to its upstream (if any), or to HEAD. To do that,
naturally we try to resolve HEAD to a commit object. If we're on an
orphan branch (i.e., HEAD points to a branch that does not yet exist),
that will fail, and we'll bail with an error:

  $ git branch -d to-delete
  fatal: Couldn't look up commit object for HEAD

This usually isn't that big of a deal. The deletion would fail anyway,
since the branch isn't merged to HEAD, and you'd need to use "-D" (or
"-f"). And doing so skips the HEAD resolution, courtesy of 67affd5173
(git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branch,
2006-11-24).

But there are still two problems:

  1. The error message isn't very helpful. We should give the usual "not
     fully merged" message, which points the user at "branch -D". That
     was a problem even back in 67affd5173.

  2. Even without a HEAD, these days it's still possible for the
     deletion to succeed. After 67affd5173, commit 99c419c915 (branch
     -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the branch it merges with,
     2009-12-29) made it OK to delete a branch if it is merged to its
     upstream.

We can fix both by removing the die() in delete_branches() completely,
leaving head_rev NULL in this case. It's tempting to stop there, as it
appears at first glance that the rest of the code does the right thing
with a NULL. But sadly, it's not quite true.

We end up feeding the NULL to repo_is_descendant_of(). In the
traditional code path there, we call repo_in_merge_bases_many(). It
feeds the NULL to repo_parse_commit(), which is smart enough to return
an error, and we immediately return "no, it's not a descendant".

But there's an alternate code path: if we have a commit graph with
generation numbers, we end up in can_all_from_reach(), which does
eventually try to set a flag on the NULL commit and segfaults.

So instead, we'll teach the local branch_merged() helper to treat a NULL
as "not merged". This would be a little more elegant in in_merge_bases()
itself, but that function is called in a lot of places, and it's not
clear that quietly returning "not merged" is the right thing everywhere
(I'd expect in many cases, feeding a NULL is a sign of a bug).

There are four tests here:

  a. The first one confirms that deletion succeeds with an orphaned HEAD
     when the branch is merged to its upstream. This is case (2) above.

  b. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Even if it is merged to
     upstream, we still check head_rev so that we can say "deleting
     because it's merged to upstream, even though it's not merged to
     HEAD". Without the second hunk in branch_merged(), this test would
     segfault in can_all_from_reach().

  c. The third one confirms that we correctly say "not merged to HEAD"
     when we can't resolve HEAD, and reject the deletion.

  d. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Without the first hunk in
     branch_merged(), this one would segfault.

f13c3f28e7 Documentation: increase example cache timeout to 1 hour
Previously, the example *decreased* the cache timeout compared to the
default, making it less user friendly.

Instead, nudge users to make cache more usable. Many users choose
store over cache.
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAGJzqskRYN49SeS8kSEN5-vbB_Jt1QvAV9QhS6zNuKh0u8wxPQ@mail.gmail.com/

The default timeout remains 15 minutes. A stronger nudge would
be to increase that.
