"git pack-refs --auto" for the files backend was too aggressive,
which has been a bit tamed.
* ps/pack-refs-auto-heuristics:
refs/files: use heuristic to decide whether to repack with `--auto`
t0601: merge tests for auto-packing of refs
wrapper: introduce `log2u()`
We have an implementation of a function that computes the log2 for an
integer. While we could instead use log2(3P), that involves floating
point numbers and is thus needlessly complex and inefficient.
We're about to add a second caller that wants to compute log2 for a
`size_t`. Let's thus move the function into "wrapper.h" such that it
becomes generally available.
While at it, tweak the implementation a bit:
- The parameter is converted from `int` to `uintmax_t`. This
conversion is safe to do in "bisect.c" because we already check that
the argument is positive.
- The return value is an `unsigned`. It cannot ever be negative, so it
is pointless for it to be a signed integer.
- Loop until `!n` instead of requiring that `n > 1` and then subtract
1 from the result and add a special case for `!sz`. This helps
compilers to generate more efficient code.
Compilers recognize the pattern of this function and optimize
accordingly. On GCC 14.2 x86_64:
log2u(unsigned long):
test rdi, rdi
je .L3
bsr rax, rdi
ret
.L3:
mov eax, -1
ret
Clang 18.1 does not yet recognize the pattern, but starts to do so on
Clang trunk x86_64. The code isn't quite as efficient as the one
generated by GCC, but still manages to optimize away the loop:
log2u(unsigned long):
test rdi, rdi
je .LBB0_1
shr rdi
bsr rcx, rdi
mov eax, 127
cmovne rax, rcx
xor eax, -64
add eax, 65
ret
.LBB0_1:
mov eax, -1
ret
The pattern is also recognized on other platforms like ARM64 GCC 14.2.0,
where we end up using `clz`:
log2u(unsigned long):
clz x2, x0
cmp x0, 0
mov w1, 63
sub w0, w1, w2
csinv w0, w0, wzr, ne
ret
Note that we have a similar function `fastlog2()` in the reftable code.
As that codebase is separate from the Git codebase we do not adapt it to
use the new function.

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

Add a "free_removed_argv_elements" member to "struct

We have various memory leaks in APIs that take and munge "const
char **argv", e.g. parse_options(). Sometimes these APIs are given the
"argv" we get to the "main" function, in which case we don't leak
memory, but other times we're giving it the "v" member of a "struct
strvec" we created.
There's several potential ways to fix those sort of leaks, we could
add a "nodup" mode to "struct strvec", which would work for the cases
where we push constant strings to it. But that wouldn't work as soon
as we used strvec_pushf(), or otherwise needed to duplicate or create
a string for that "struct strvec".
Let's instead make it the responsibility of the revisions API. If it's
going to clobber elements of argv it can also free() them, which it
will now do if instructed to do so via "free_removed_argv_elements".

When a run command cannot be executed or found, shells return exit code
126 or 127, respectively. Valid run commands are allowed to return
these codes as well to indicate bad revisions, though, for historical
reasons. This means typos can cause bogus bisect runs that go over the
full distance and end up reporting invalid results.
The best solution would be to reserve exit codes 126 and 127, like
71b0251cdd (Bisect run: "skip" current commit if script exit code is
125., 2007-10-26) did for 125, and abort bisect run when we get them.
That might be inconvenient for those who relied on the documentation
stating that 126 and 127 can be used for bad revisions, though.
The workaround used by this patch is to run the command on a known-good
revision and abort if we still get the same error code. This adds one
step to runs with scripts that use exit codes 126 and 127, but keeps
them supported, with one exception: It won't work with commands that
cannot recognize the (manually marked) known-good revision as such.
Run commands that use low exit codes are unaffected. Typos are reported
after executing the missing command twice and three checkouts (the first
step, the known good revision and back to the revision of the first
step).

- The comment misspelled BISECT_FAILED as BISECT_FAILURE, even
though the logic it described (i.e. any non-zero return should be
reported as a single BISECT_FAILED) was correct.
- It took the return value from run_command_v_opt(), and assumed it
was either -1 or 1 upon error, which is not the case; it can relay
errors from wait_or_whine(), which can report exit status of the

"git bisect start/next" in a large span of history spends a lot of
time trying to come up with exactly the half-way point; this can be
optimized by stopping when we see a commit that is close enough to
the half-way point.
* sg/bisect-approximately-halfway:
bisect: loosen halfway() check for a large number of commits
'git bisect start ...' and subsequent 'git bisect (good|bad)' commands
can take quite a while when the given/remaining revision range between
good and bad commits is big and contains a lot of merge commits, e.g.
in git.git:
$ git rev-list --count v1.6.0..v2.28.0
44284
$ time git bisect start v2.28.0 v1.6.0
Bisecting: 22141 revisions left to test after this (roughly 15 steps)
[e197c21807] unable_to_lock_die(): rename function from unable_to_lock_index_die()
real 0m15.472s
user 0m15.220s
sys 0m0.255s
The majority of the runtime is spent in do_find_bisection(), where we
try to find a commit as close as possible to the halfway point between
the bad and good revisions, i.e. a commit from which the number of
reachable commits that are in the good-bad range is half the total
number of commits in that range. So we count how many commits are
reachable in the good-bad range for each commit in that range, which
is quick and easy for a linear history, even over 300k commits in a
linear range are handled in ~0.3s on my machine. Alas, handling merge
commits is non-trivial and quite expensive as the algorithm used seems
to be quadratic, causing the long runtime shown above.
Interestingly, look at what a big difference one additional commit
can make:
$ git rev-list --count v1.6.0^..v2.28.0
44285
$ time git bisect start v2.28.0 v1.6.0^
Bisecting: 22142 revisions left to test after this (roughly 15 steps)
[565301e416] Sync with 2.1.2
real 0m5.848s
user 0m5.600s
sys 0m0.252s
The difference is caused by one of the optimizations attempting to cut
down the runtime added in 1c4fea3a40 (git-rev-list --bisect:
optimization, 2007-03-21):
Another small optimization is whenever we find a half-way commit
(that is, a commit that can reach exactly half of the commits),
we stop giving counts to remaining commits, as we will not find
any better commit than we just found.
In this second 'git bisect start' command we happen to find a commit
exactly at the halfway point and can return early, but in the first
case there is no such commit, so we can't return early and end up
counting the number of reachable commits from all commits in the
good-bad range.
However, when we have thousands of commits it's not all that important
to find the _exact_ halfway point, a few commits more or less doesn't
make any real difference for the bisection.
So let's loosen the check in the halfway() helper to consider commits
within about 0.1% of the exact halfway point as halfway as well, and
rename the function to approx_halfway() accordingly. This will allow
us to return early on a bigger good-bad range, even when there is no
commit exactly at the halfway point, thereby reducing the runtime of
the first command above considerably, from ~15s to 4.901s.
Furthermore, even if there is a commit exactly at the halfway point,
we might still stumble upon a commit within that 0.1% range before
finding the exact halfway point, allowing us to return a bit earlier,
slightly reducing the runtime of the second command from 5.848s to
5.058s. Note that this change doesn't affect good-bad ranges
containing ~2000 commits or less, because that 0.1% tolerance becomes
zero due to integer arithmetic; however, if the range is that small
then counting the reachable commits for all commits is already fast
enough anyway.
Naturally, this will likely change which commits get picked at each
bisection step, and, in turn, might change how many bisection steps
are necessary to find the first bad commit. If the number of
necessary bisection steps were to increase often, then this change
could backfire, because building and testing at each step might take
much longer than the time spared. OTOH, if the number of steps were
to decrease, then it would be a double win.
So I ran some tests to see how often that happens: picked random good
and bad starting revisions at least 50k commits apart and a random
first bad commit in between in git.git, and used 'git bisect run git
merge-base --is-ancestor HEAD $first_bad_commit' to check the number
of necessary bisection steps. After repeating all this 1000 times
both with and without this patch I found that:
- 146 cases needed one more bisection step than before, 149 cases
needed one less step, while in the remaining 705 cases the number
of steps didn't change. So the number of bisection steps does
indeed change in a non-negligible number of cases, but it seems
that the average number of steps doesn't change in the long run.
- The first 'git bisect start' command got over 3x faster in 456
cases, so this "no commit at the exact halfway point" case seems
to be common enough to care about.

`git bisect` can exit with an error code when bisect_next() does.
Return an error when `bisect_next()` fails, that fix a bug on shell script
version.
Using `--bisect-next` and `--bisect-auto-next` subcommands is a
temporary measure to port shell function to C so as to use the existing
test suite. As more functions are ported, `--bisect-auto-next`
subcommand will be retired and will be called by some other methods.

As there can be other revision walks after bisect_next_all(),
let's add a call to a function to clear all the marks at the
end of bisect_next_all().

"git bisect" learns the "--first-parent" option to find the first
breakage along the first-parent chain.
* al/bisect-first-parent:
bisect: combine args passed to find_bisection()
bisect: introduce first-parent flag
cmd_bisect__helper: defer parsing no-checkout flag
rev-list: allow bisect and first-parent flags
t6030: modernize "git bisect run" tests
Now that find_bisection() accepts multiple boolean arguments, these may
be combined into a single unsigned integer in order to declutter some of
the code in bisect.c
Also, rename the existing "flags" bitfield to "commit_flags", to
explicitly differentiate it from the new "bisect_flags" bitfield.

Upon seeing a merge commit when bisecting, this option may be used to
follow only the first parent.
In detecting regressions introduced through the merging of a branch, the
merge commit will be identified as introduction of the bug and its
ancestors will be ignored.
This option is particularly useful in avoiding false positives when a
merged branch contained broken or non-buildable commits, but the merge
itself was OK.
