c4ff24bbb3 commit-graph.c: display correct number of chunks when writing
When writing a commit-graph, a progress meter is shown which indicates
the number of pieces of data to write (one per commit in each chunk).

In 47410aa837 (commit-graph: use chunk-format write API, 2021-02-18),
the number of chunks became tracked by the new chunk-format API. But a
stray local variable was left behind from when write_commit_graph_file()
used to keep track of the same.

Since this was no longer updated after 47410aa837, the progress meter
appeared broken:

    $ git commit-graph write --reachable
    Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 837569, done.
    Writing out commit graph in 3 passes: 166% (4187845/2512707), done.

Drop the local variable and rely instead on the chunk-format API to tell
us the correct number of chunks.

bf4bb9f9f5 commit-graph: avoid leaking topo_levels slab in write_commit_graph()
write_commit_graph initialises topo_levels using init_topo_level_slab(),
next it calls compute_topological_levels() which can cause the slab to
grow, we therefore need to clear the slab again using
clear_topo_level_slab() when we're done.

First introduced in 72a2bfca (commit-graph: add a slab to store
topological levels, 2021-01-16).

bc50d6c91f commit-graph: prepare commit graph
Before checking if the repository has a commit-graph loaded, be sure
to run prepare_commit_graph(). This is necessary because otherwise
the topo_levels slab is not initialized. As we compute topo_levels for
the new commits, we iterate further into the lower layers since the
first visit to each commit looks as though the topo_level is not
populated.

By properly initializing the topo_slab, we fix the previously broken
case of a split commit graph where a base layer has the
generation_data_overflow chunk.

fde55b0906 commit-graph: be extra careful about mixed generations
When upgrading to a commit-graph with corrected commit dates from
one without, there are a few things that need to be considered.

When computing generation numbers for the new commit-graph file that
expects to add the generation_data chunk with corrected commit
dates, we need to ensure that the 'generation' member of the
commit_graph_data struct is set to zero for these commits.

Unfortunately, the fallback to use topological level for generation
number when corrected commit dates are not available are causing us
harm here: parsing commits notices that read_generation_data is
false and populates 'generation' with the topological level.

The solution is to iterate through the commits, parse the commits
to populate initial values, then reset the generation values to
zero to trigger recalculation. This loop only occurs when the
existing commit-graph data has no corrected commit dates.

While this improves our situation somewhat, we have not completely
solved the issue for correctly computing generation numbers for mixed
layers. That follows in the next change.

9c2c0a8256 commit-graph: compute generations separately
The compute_generation_numbers() method was introduced by 3258c663
(commit-graph: compute generation numbers, 2018-05-01) to compute what
is now known as "topological levels". These are still stored in the
commit-graph file for compatibility sake while c1a09119 (commit-graph:
implement corrected commit date, 2021-01-16) updated the method to also
compute the new version of generation numbers: corrected commit date.

It makes sense why these are grouped. They perform very similar walks of
the necessary commits and compute similar maximums over each parent.
However, having these two together conflates them in subtle ways that is
hard to separate.

In particular, the topo_level slab is used to store the topological
levels in all cases, but the commit_graph_data_at(c)->generation member
stores different values depending on the state of the existing
commit-graph file.

* If the existing commit-graph file has a "GDAT" chunk, then these
  values represent corrected commit dates.

* If the existing commit-graph file doesn't have a "GDAT" chunk, then
  these values are actually the topological levels.

This issue only occurs only when upgrading an existing commit-graph file
into one that has the "GDAT" chunk. The current change does not resolve
this upgrade problem, but splitting the implementation into two pieces
here helps with that process, which will follow in the next change.

The important thing this helps with is the case where the
num_generation_data_overflows was being incremented incorrectly,
triggering a write of the overflow chunk.

returns 1 if all layers have a generation_data chunk. This return
value will be used in the next change.

90cb1c47c7 commit-graph: always parse before commit_graph_data_at()
There is a subtle failure happening when computing corrected commit
dates with --split enabled. It requires a base layer needing the
generation_data_overflow chunk. Then, the next layer on top
erroneously thinks it needs an overflow chunk due to a bug leading
to recalculating all reachable generation numbers. The output of
the failure is

  BUG: commit-graph.c:1912: expected to write 8 bytes to
  chunk 47444f56, but wrote 0 instead

These "expected" 8 bytes are due to re-computing the corrected
commit date for the lower layer but the new layer does not need
any overflow.

Add a test to t5318-commit-graph.sh that demonstrates this bug. However,
it does not trigger consistently with the existing code.

The generation number data is stored in a slab and accessed by
commit_graph_data_at(). This data is initialized when parsing a commit,
but is otherwise used assuming it has been populated. The loop in
compute_generation_numbers() did not enforce that all reachable
commits were parsed and had correct values. This could lead to some
problems when writing a commit-graph with corrected commit dates based
on a commit-graph without them.

It has been difficult to identify the issue here because it was so hard
to reproduce. It relies on this uninitialized data having a non-zero
value, but also on specifically in a way that overwrites the existing
data.

This patch adds the extra parse to ensure the data is filled before we
compute the generation number of a commit. This triggers the new test
to fail because the generation number overflow count does not match
between this computation and the write for that chunk.

The actual fix will follow as the next few changes.

object_id (not just raw bytes of hashes, as we might find in a pack
.idx; those are handled by bsearch_hash()).

Using an object_id gives us more type safety, and makes the callers
slightly shorter. It also gets rid of the word "sha1" from several
access functions, though we could obviously also rename those with
s/sha1/hash/.

36a317929b refs: switch peel_ref() to peel_iterated_oid()
The peel_ref() interface is confusing and error-prone:

  - it's typically used by ref iteration callbacks that have both a
    refname and oid. But since they pass only the refname, we may load
    the ref value from the filesystem again. This is inefficient, but
    also means we are open to a race if somebody simultaneously updates
    the ref. E.g., this:

      int some_ref_cb(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, ...)
      {
              if (!peel_ref(refname, &peeled))
                      printf("%s peels to %s",
                             oid_to_hex(oid), oid_to_hex(&peeled);
      }

    could print nonsense. It is correct to say "refname peels to..."
    (you may see the "before" value or the "after" value, either of
    which is consistent), but mentioning both oids may be mixing
    before/after values.

    Worse, whether this is possible depends on whether the optimization
    to read from the current iterator value kicks in. So it is actually
    not possible with:

      for_each_ref(some_ref_cb);

    but it _is_ possible with:

      head_ref(some_ref_cb);

    which does not use the iterator mechanism (though in practice, HEAD
    should never peel to anything, so this may not be triggerable).

  - it must take a fully-qualified refname for the read_ref_full() code
    path to work. Yet we routinely pass it partial refnames from
    callbacks to for_each_tag_ref(), etc. This happens to work when
    iterating because there we do not call read_ref_full() at all, and
    only use the passed refname to check if it is the same as the
    iterator. But the requirements for the function parameters are quite
    unclear.

Instead of taking a refname, let's instead take an oid. That fixes both
problems. It's a little funny for a "ref" function not to involve refs
at all. The key thing is that it's optimizing under the hood based on
having access to the ref iterator. So let's change the name to make it
clear why you'd want this function versus just peel_object().

There are two other directions I considered but rejected:

  - we could pass the peel information into the each_ref_fn callback.
    However, we don't know if the caller actually wants it or not. For
    packed-refs, providing it is essentially free. But for loose refs,
    we actually have to peel the object, which would be wasteful in most
    cases. We could likewise pass in a flag to the callback indicating
    whether the peeled information is known, but that complicates those
    callbacks, as they then have to decide whether to manually peel
    themselves. Plus it requires changing the interface of every
    callback, whether they care about peeling or not, and there are many
    of them.

  - we could make a function to return the peeled value of the current
    iterated ref (computing it if necessary), and BUG() otherwise. I.e.:

      int peel_current_iterated_ref(struct object_id *out);

    Each of the current callers is an each_ref_fn callback, so they'd
    mostly be happy. But:

      - we use those callbacks with functions like head_ref(), which do
        not use the iteration code. So we'd need to handle the fallback
        case there, anyway.

      - it's possible that a caller would want to call into generic code
        that sometimes is used during iteration and sometimes not. This
        encapsulates the logic to do the fast thing when possible, and
        fallback when necessary.

The implementation is mostly obvious, but I want to call out a few
things in the patch:

  - the test-tool coverage for peel_ref() is now meaningless, as it all
    collapses to a single peel_object() call (arguably they were pretty
    uninteresting before; the tricky part of that function is the
    fast-path we see during iteration, but these calls didn't trigger
    that). I've just dropped it entirely, though note that some other
    tests relied on the tags we created; I've moved that creation to the
    tests where it matters.

  - we no longer need to take a ref_store parameter, since we'd never
    look up a ref now. We do still rely on a global "current iterator"
    variable which _could_ be kept per-ref-store. But in practice this
    is only useful if there are multiple recursive iterations, at which
    point the more appropriate solution is probably a stack of
    iterators. No caller used the actual ref-store parameter anyway
    (they all call the wrapper that passes the_repository).

  - the original only kicked in the optimization when the "refname"
    pointer matched (i.e., not string comparison). We do likewise with
    the "oid" parameter here, but fall back to doing an actual oideq()
    call. This in theory lets us kick in the optimization more often,
    though in practice no current caller cares. It should never be
    wrong, though (peeling is a property of an object, so two refs
    pointing to the same object would peel identically).

  - the original took care not to touch the peeled out-parameter unless
    we found something to put in it. But no caller cares about this, and
    anyway, it is enforced by peel_object() itself (and even in the
    optimized iterator case, that's where we eventually end up). We can
    shorten the code and avoid an extra copy by just passing the
    out-parameter through the stack.

8d00d7c3df commit-reach: use corrected commit dates in paint_down_to_common()
091f4cf (commit: don't use generation numbers if not needed,
2018-08-30) changed paint_down_to_common() to use commit dates instead
of generation numbers v1 (topological levels) as the performance
regressed on certain topologies. With generation number v2 (corrected
commit dates) implemented, we no longer have to rely on commit dates and
can use generation numbers.

For example, the command `git merge-base v4.8 v4.9` on the Linux
repository walks 167468 commits, taking 0.135s for committer date and
167496 commits, taking 0.157s for corrected committer date respectively.

While using corrected commit dates, Git walks nearly the same number of
commits as commit date, the process is slower as for each comparision we
have to access a commit-slab (for corrected committer date) instead of
accessing struct member (for committer date).

This change incidentally broke the fragile t6404-recursive-merge test.
t6404-recursive-merge sets up a unique repository where all commits have
the same committer date without a well-defined merge-base.

While running tests with GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH unset, we use committer
date as a heuristic in paint_down_to_common(). 6404.1 'combined merge
conflicts' merges commits in the order:
- Merge C with B to form an intermediate commit.
- Merge the intermediate commit with A.

With GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1, we write a commit-graph and subsequently
use the corrected committer date, which changes the order in which
commits are merged:
- Merge A with B to form an intermediate commit.
- Merge the intermediate commit with C.

While resulting repositories are equivalent, 6404.4 'virtual trees were
processed' fails with GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1 as we are selecting
different merge-bases and thus have different object ids for the
intermediate commits.

As this has already causes problems (as noted in 859fdc0 (commit-graph:
define GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH, 2018-08-29)), we disable commit graph
within t6404-recursive-merge.

1fdc383c5c commit-graph: use generation v2 only if entire chain does
Since there are released versions of Git that understand generation
numbers in the commit-graph's CDAT chunk but do not understand the GDAT
chunk, the following scenario is possible:

1. "New" Git writes a commit-graph with the GDAT chunk.
2. "Old" Git writes a split commit-graph on top without a GDAT chunk.

If each layer of split commit-graph is treated independently, as it was
the case before this commit, with Git inspecting only the current layer
for chunk_generation_data pointer, commits in the lower layer (one with
GDAT) whould have corrected commit date as their generation number,
while commits in the upper layer would have topological levels as their
generation. Corrected commit dates usually have much larger values than
topological levels. This means that if we take two commits, one from the
upper layer, and one reachable from it in the lower layer, then the
expectation that the generation of a parent is smaller than the
generation of a child would be violated.

It is difficult to expose this issue in a test. Since we _start_ with
artificially low generation numbers, any commit walk that prioritizes
generation numbers will walk all of the commits with high generation
number before walking the commits with low generation number. In all the
cases I tried, the commit-graph layers themselves "protect" any
incorrect behavior since none of the commits in the lower layer can
reach the commits in the upper layer.

This issue would manifest itself as a performance problem in this case,
especially with something like "git log --graph" since the low
generation numbers would cause the in-degree queue to walk all of the
commits in the lower layer before allowing the topo-order queue to write
anything to output (depending on the size of the upper layer).

Therefore, When writing the new layer in split commit-graph, we write a
GDAT chunk only if the topmost layer has a GDAT chunk. This guarantees
that if a layer has GDAT chunk, all lower layers must have a GDAT chunk
as well.

Rewriting layers follows similar approach: if the topmost layer below
the set of layers being rewritten (in the split commit-graph chain)
exists, and it does not contain GDAT chunk, then the result of rewrite
does not have GDAT chunks either.

e8b63005c4 commit-graph: implement generation data chunk
As discovered by Ævar, we cannot increment graph version to
distinguish between generation numbers v1 and v2 [1]. Thus, one of
pre-requistes before implementing generation number v2 was to
distinguish between graph versions in a backwards compatible manner.

We are going to introduce a new chunk called Generation DATa chunk (or
GDAT). GDAT will store corrected committer date offsets whereas CDAT
will still store topological level.

Old Git does not understand GDAT chunk and would ignore it, reading
topological levels from CDAT. New Git can parse GDAT and take advantage
of newer generation numbers, falling back to topological levels when
GDAT chunk is missing (as it would happen with a commit-graph written
by old Git).

We introduce a test environment variable 'GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT'
which forces commit-graph file to be written without generation data
chunk to emulate a commit-graph file written by old Git.

To minimize the space required to store corrrected commit date, Git
stores corrected commit date offsets into the commit-graph file, instea
of corrected commit dates. This saves us 4 bytes per commit, decreasing
the GDAT chunk size by half, but it's possible for the offset to
overflow the 4-bytes allocated for storage. As such overflows are and
should be exceedingly rare, we use the following overflow management
scheme:

We introduce a new commit-graph chunk, Generation Data OVerflow ('GDOV')
to store corrected commit dates for commits with offsets greater than
GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX.

If the offset is greater than GENERATION_NUMBER_V2_OFFSET_MAX, we set
the MSB of the offset and the other bits store the position of corrected
commit date in GDOV chunk, similar to how Extra Edge List is maintained.

We test the overflow-related code with the following repo history:

           F - N - U
          /         \
U - N - U            N
         \          /
	  N - F - N

Where the commits denoted by U have committer date of zero seconds
since Unix epoch, the commits denoted by N have committer date of
1112354055 (default committer date for the test suite) seconds since
Unix epoch and the commits denoted by F have committer date of
(2 ^ 31 - 2) seconds since Unix epoch.

The largest offset observed is 2 ^ 31, just large enough to overflow.

c1a09119f6 commit-graph: implement corrected commit date
With most of preparations done, let's implement corrected commit date.

The corrected commit date for a commit is defined as:

* A commit with no parents (a root commit) has corrected commit date
  equal to its committer date.
* A commit with at least one parent has corrected commit date equal to
  the maximum of its commit date and one more than the largest corrected
  commit date among its parents.

As a special case, a root commit with timestamp of zero (01.01.1970
00:00:00Z) has corrected commit date of one, to be able to distinguish
from GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO (that is, an uncomputed corrected commit
date).

To minimize the space required to store corrected commit date, Git
stores corrected commit date offsets into the commit-graph file. The
corrected commit date offset for a commit is defined as the difference
between its corrected commit date and actual commit date.

Storing corrected commit date requires sizeof(timestamp_t) bytes, which
in most cases is 64 bits (uintmax_t). However, corrected commit date
offsets can be safely stored using only 32-bits. This halves the size
of GDAT chunk, which is a reduction of around 6% in the size of
commit-graph file.

However, using offsets be problematic if a commit is malformed but valid
and has committer date of 0 Unix time, as the offset would be the same
as corrected commit date and thus require 64-bits to be stored properly.

While Git does not write out offsets at this stage, Git stores the
corrected commit dates in member generation of struct commit_graph_data.
It will begin writing commit date offsets with the introduction of
generation data chunk.

72a2bfcaf0 commit-graph: add a slab to store topological levels
In a later commit we will introduce corrected commit date as the
generation number v2. Corrected commit dates will be stored in the new
seperate Generation Data chunk. However, to ensure backwards
compatibility with "Old" Git we need to continue to write generation
number v1 (topological levels) to the commit data chunk. Thus, we need
to compute and store both versions of generation numbers to write the
commit-graph file.

Therefore, let's introduce a commit-slab `topo_level_slab` to store
topological levels; corrected commit date will be stored in the member
`generation` of struct commit_graph_data.

The macros `GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY` and `GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO`
mark commits not in the commit-graph file and commits written by a
version of Git that did not compute generation numbers respectively.
Generation numbers are computed identically for both kinds of commits.

A "slab-miss" should return `GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY` as the commit
is not in the commit-graph file. However, since the slab is
zero-initialized, it returns 0 (or rather `GENERATION_NUMBER_ZERO`).
Thus, we no longer need to check if the topological level of a commit is
`GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY`.

We will add a pointer to the slab in `struct write_commit_graph_context`
and `struct commit_graph` to populate the slab in
`fill_commit_graph_info` if the commit has a pre-computed topological
level as in case of split commit-graphs.

f90fca638e commit-graph: consolidate fill_commit_graph_info
Both fill_commit_graph_info() and fill_commit_in_graph() parse
information present in commit data chunk. Let's simplify the
implementation by calling fill_commit_graph_info() within
fill_commit_in_graph().

fill_commit_graph_info() used to not load committer data from commit data
chunk. However, with the upcoming switch to using corrected committer
date as generation number v2, we will have to load committer date to
compute generation number value anyway.

e51217e15 (t5000: test tar files that overflow ustar headers,
30-06-2016) introduced a test 'generate tar with future mtime' that
creates a commit with committer date of (2^36 + 1) seconds since
EPOCH. The CDAT chunk provides 34-bits for storing committer date, thus
committer time overflows into generation number (within CDAT chunk) and
has undefined behavior.

The test used to pass as fill_commit_graph_info() would not set struct
member `date` of struct commit and load committer date from the object
database, generating a tar file with the expected mtime.

However, with corrected commit date, we will load the committer date
from CDAT chunk (truncated to lower 34-bits to populate the generation
number. Thus, Git sets date and generates tar file with the truncated
mtime.

The ustar format (the header format used by most modern tar programs)
only has room for 11 (or 12, depending on some implementations) octal
digits for the size and mtime of each file.

As the CDAT chunk is overflow by 12-octal digits but not 11-octal
digits, we split the existing tests to test both implementations
separately and add a new explicit test for 11-digit implementation.

To test the 11-octal digit implementation, we create a future commit
with committer date of 2^34 - 1, which overflows 11-octal digits without
overflowing 34-bits of the Commit Date chunks.

To test the 12-octal digit implementation, the smallest committer date
possible is 2^36 + 1, which overflows the CDAT chunk and thus
commit-graph must be disabled for the test.

e30c5ee76c commit-graph: fix regression when computing Bloom filters
Before computing Bloom filters, the commit-graph machinery uses
commit_gen_cmp to sort commits by generation order for improved diff
performance. 3d11275505 (commit-graph: examine commits by generation
number, 2020-03-30) claims that this sort can reduce the time spent to
compute Bloom filters by nearly half.

But since c49c82aa4c (commit: move members graph_pos, generation to a
slab, 2020-06-17), this optimization is broken, since asking for a
'commit_graph_generation()' directly returns GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY
while writing.

Not all hope is lost, though: 'commit_gen_cmp()' falls back to
comparing commits by their date when they have equal generation number,
and so since c49c82aa4c is purely a date comparison function. This
heuristic is good enough that we don't seem to loose appreciable
performance while computing Bloom filters.

Applying this patch (compared with v2.30.0) speeds up computing Bloom
filters by factors ranging from 0.40% to 5.19% on various repositories [1].

So, avoid the useless 'commit_graph_generation()' while writing by
instead accessing the slab directly. This returns the newly-computed
generation numbers, and allows us to avoid the heuristic by directly
comparing generation numbers.

Our custom packed_oid_list data structure is really just an oid_array in
disguise. Let's switch to using the generic structure, which shortens
and simplifies the code slightly.

There's one slightly awkward part: in the old code we copied a hash
straight from the mmap'd on-disk data into the final object_id. And now
we'll copy to a temporary oid, which we'll then pass to
oid_array_append(). But this is an operation we have to do all over the
commit-graph code already, since it mostly uses object_id structs
internally. I also measured "git commit-graph --append", which triggers
this code path, and it showed no difference.

1cbdbf3bef commit-graph: drop count_distinct_commits() function
When writing a commit graph, we collect a list of object ids in an
array, which we'll eventually copy into an array of "struct commit"
pointers. Before we do that, though, we count the number of distinct
commit entries. There's a subtle bug in this step, though.

We eliminate not only duplicate oids, but also in split mode, any oids
which are not commits or which are already in a graph file. However, the
loop starts at index 1, always counting index 0 as distinct. And indeed
it can't be a duplicate, since we check for those by comparing against
the previous entry, and there isn't one for index 0. But it could be a
commit that's already in a graph file, and we'd overcount the number of
commits by 1 in that case.

That turns out not to be a problem, though. The only things we do with
the count are:

  - check if our count will overflow our data structures. But the limit
    there is 2^31 commits, so while this is a useful check, the
    off-by-one is not likely to matter.

  - pre-allocate the array of commit pointers. But over-allocating by
    one isn't a problem; we'll just waste a few extra bytes.

The bug would be easy enough to fix, but we can observe that neither of
those steps is necessary.

After building the actual commit array, we'll likewise check its count
for overflow. So the extra check of the distinct commit count here is
redundant.

And likewise we use ALLOC_GROW() when building the commit array, so
there's no need to preallocate it (it's possible that doing so is
slightly more efficient, but if we care we can just optimistically
allocate one slot for each oid; I didn't bother here).

So count_distinct_commits() isn't doing anything useful. Let's just get
rid of that step.

Note that a side effect of the function was that we sorted the list of
oids, which we do rely on in copy_oids_to_commits(), since it must also
skip the duplicates. So we'll move the qsort there. I didn't copy the
"TODO" about adding more progress meters. It's actually quite hard to
make a repository large enough for this qsort would take an appreciable
amount of time, so this doesn't seem like a useful note.

85102ac71b commit-graph: don't write commit-graph when disabled
The core.commitGraph config setting can be set to 'false' to prevent
parsing commits from the commit-graph file(s). This causes an issue when
trying to write with "--split" which needs to distinguish between
commits that are in the existing commit-graph layers and commits that
are not. The existing mechanism uses parse_commit() and follows by
checking if there is a 'graph_pos' that shows the commit was parsed from
the commit-graph file.

When core.commitGraph=false, we do not parse the commits from the
commit-graph and 'graph_pos' indicates that no commits are in the
existing file. The --split logic moves forward creating a new layer on
top that holds all reachable commits, then possibly merges down into
those layers, resulting in duplicate commits. The previous change makes
that merging process more robust to such a situation in case it happens
in the written commit-graph data.

The easy answer here is to avoid writing a commit-graph if reading the
commit-graph is disabled. Since the resulting commit-graph will would not
be read by subsequent Git processes. This is more natural than forcing
core.commitGraph to be true for the 'write' process.

150f11574b commit-graph: ignore duplicates when merging layers
Thomas reported [1] that a "git fetch" command was failing with an error
saying "unexpected duplicate commit id". The root cause is that they had
fetch.writeCommitGraph enabled which generates commit-graph chains, and
this instance was merging two layers that both contained the same commit
ID.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/55f8f00c-a61c-67d4-889e-a9501c596c39@virtuell-zuhause.de/

The initial assumption is that Git would not write a commit ID into a
commit-graph layer if it already exists in a lower commit-graph layer.
Somehow, this specific case did get into that situation, leading to this
error.

While unexpected, this isn't actually invalid (as long as the two layers
agree on the metadata for the commit). When we parse a commit that does
not have a graph_pos in the commit_graph_data_slab, we use binary search
in the commit-graph layers to find the commit and set graph_pos. That
position is never used again in this case. However, when we parse a
commit from the commit-graph file, we load its parents from the
commit-graph and assign graph_pos at that point. If those parents were
already parsed from the commit-graph, then nothing needs to be done.
Otherwise, this graph_pos is a valid position in the commit-graph so we
can parse the parents, when necessary.

Thus, this die() is too aggressive. The easiest thing to do would be to
ignore the duplicates.

If we only ignore the duplicates, then we will produce a commit-graph
that has identical commit IDs listed in adjacent positions. This excess
data will never be removed from the commit-graph, which could cascade
into significantly bloated file sizes.

Thankfully, we can collapse the list to erase the duplicate commit
pointers. This allows us to get the end result we want without extra
memory costs and minimal CPU time.

The root cause is due to disabling core.commitGraph, which prevents
parsing commits from the lower layers during a 'git commit-graph write
--split' command. Since we use the 'graph_pos' value to determine
whether a commit is in a lower layer, we never discover that those
commits are already in the commit-graph chain and add them to the top
layer. This layer is then merged down, creating duplicates.

The test added in t5324-split-commit-graph.sh fails without this change.
However, we still have not completely removed the need for this
duplicate check. That will come in a follow-up change.

809e0327f5 builtin/commit-graph.c: introduce '--max-new-filters=<n>'
Introduce a command-line flag to specify the maximum number of new Bloom
filters that a 'git commit-graph write' is willing to compute from
scratch.

Prior to this patch, a commit-graph write with '--changed-paths' would
compute Bloom filters for all selected commits which haven't already
been computed (i.e., by a previous commit-graph write with '--split'
such that a roll-up or replacement is performed).

This behavior can cause prohibitively-long commit-graph writes for a
variety of reasons:

  * There may be lots of filters whose diffs take a long time to
    generate (for example, they have close to the maximum number of
    changes, diffing itself takes a long time, etc).

  * Old-style commit-graphs (which encode filters with too many entries
    as not having been computed at all) cause us to waste time
    recomputing filters that appear to have not been computed only to
    discover that they are too-large.

This can make the upper-bound of the time it takes for 'git commit-graph
write --changed-paths' to be rather unpredictable.

To make this command behave more predictably, introduce
'--max-new-filters=<n>' to allow computing at most '<n>' Bloom filters
from scratch. This lets "computing" already-known filters proceed
quickly, while bounding the number of slow tasks that Git is willing to
do.

98bb796191 commit-graph: rename 'split_commit_graph_opts'
In the subsequent commit, additional options will be added to the
commit-graph API which have nothing to do with splitting.

Rename the 'split_commit_graph_opts' structure to the more-generic
'commit_graph_opts' to encompass both. Likewise, rename the 'flags'
member to instead be 'split_flags' to clarify that it only has to do
with the behavior implied by '--split'.

59f0d5073f bloom: encode out-of-bounds filters as non-empty
When a changed-path Bloom filter has either zero, or more than a
certain number (commonly 512) of entries, the commit-graph machinery
encodes it as "missing". More specifically, it sets the indices adjacent
in the BIDX chunk as equal to each other to indicate a "length 0"
filter; that is, that the filter occupies zero bytes on disk.

This has heretofore been fine, since the commit-graph machinery has no
need to care about these filters with too few or too many changed paths.
Both cases act like no filter has been generated at all, and so there is
no need to store them.

In a subsequent commit, however, the commit-graph machinery will learn
to only compute Bloom filters for some commits in the current
commit-graph layer. This is a change from the current implementation
which computes Bloom filters for all commits that are in the layer being
written. Critically for this patch, only computing some of the Bloom
filters means adding a third state for length 0 Bloom filters: zero
entries, too many entries, or "hasn't been computed".

It will be important for that future patch to distinguish between "not
representable" (i.e., zero or too-many changed paths), and "hasn't been
computed". In particular, we don't want to waste time recomputing
filters that have already been computed.

To that end, change how we store Bloom filters in the "computed but not
representable" category:

  - Bloom filters with no entries are stored as a single byte with all
    bits low (i.e., all queries to that Bloom filter will return
    "definitely not")

  - Bloom filters with too many entries are stored as a single byte with
    all bits set high (i.e., all queries to that Bloom filter will
    return "maybe").

These rules are sufficient to not incur a behavior change by changing
the on-disk representation of these two classes. Likewise, no
specification changes are necessary for the commit-graph format, either:

  - Filters that were previously empty will be recomputed and stored
    according to the new rules, and

  - old clients reading filters generated by new clients will interpret
    the filters correctly and be none the wiser to how they were
    generated.

Clients will invoke the Bloom machinery in more cases than before, but
this can be addressed by returning a NULL filter when all bits are set
high. This can be addressed in a future patch.

Note that this does increase the size of on-disk commit-graphs, but far
less than other proposals. In particular, this is generally more
efficient than storing a bitmap for which commits haven't computed their
Bloom filters. Storing a bitmap incurs a penalty of one bit per commit,
whereas storing explicit filters as above incurs a penalty of one byte
per too-large or empty commit.

In practice, these boundary commits likely occupy a small proportion of
the overall number of commits, and so the size penalty is likely smaller
than storing a bitmap for all commits.

See, for example, these relative proportions of such boundary commits

(where the above increase is determined by computing a non-split
commit-graph before and after this patch).

Given that these projects are all "large" by commit count, the storage
cost by writing these filters explicitly is negligible. In the most
extreme example, android-base (which has 494,848 commits at the time of
writing) would have its commit-graph increase by a modest 68.4 KB.

Finally, a test to exercise filters which contain too many changed path
entries will be introduced in a subsequent patch.

663b2b1b90 maintenance: add commit-graph task
The first new task in the 'git maintenance' builtin is the
'commit-graph' task. This updates the commit-graph file
incrementally with the command

	git commit-graph write --reachable --split

By writing an incremental commit-graph file using the "--split"
option we minimize the disruption from this operation. The default
behavior is to merge layers until the new "top" layer is less than
half the size of the layer below. This provides quick writes most
of the time, with the longer writes following a power law
distribution.

Most importantly, concurrent Git processes only look at the
commit-graph-chain file for a very short amount of time, so they
will verly likely not be holding a handle to the file when we try
to replace it. (This only matters on Windows.)

If a concurrent process reads the old commit-graph-chain file, but
our job expires some of the .graph files before they can be read,
then those processes will see a warning message (but not fail).
This could be avoided by a future update to use the --expire-time
argument when writing the commit-graph.

9a7a9ed10d bloom: use provided 'struct bloom_filter_settings'
When 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter()' needs to compute a Bloom filter
from scratch, it looks to the default 'struct bloom_filter_settings' in
order to determine the maximum number of changed paths, number of bits
per entry, and so on.

All of these values have so far been constant, and so there was no need
to pass in a pointer from the caller (eg., the one that is stored in the
'struct write_commit_graph_context').

Start passing in a 'struct bloom_filter_settings *' instead of using the
default values to respect graph-specific settings (eg., in the case of
setting 'GIT_TEST_BLOOM_SETTINGS_MAX_CHANGED_PATHS').

In order to have an initialized value for these settings, move its
initialization to earlier in the commit-graph write.

312cff5207 bloom: split 'get_bloom_filter()' in two
'get_bloom_filter' takes a flag to control whether it will compute a
Bloom filter if the requested one is missing. In the next patch, we'll
add yet another parameter to this method, which would force all but one
caller to specify an extra 'NULL' parameter at the end.

Instead of doing this, split 'get_bloom_filter' into two functions:
'get_bloom_filter' and 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter'. The former only
looks up a Bloom filter (and does not compute one if it's missing,
thus dropping the 'compute_if_not_present' flag). The latter does
compute missing Bloom filters, with an additional parameter to store
whether or not it needed to do so.

This simplifies many call-sites, since the majority of existing callers
to 'get_bloom_filter' do not want missing Bloom filters to be computed
(so they can drop the parameter entirely and use the simpler version of
the function).

While we're at it, instrument the new 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter()'
with counters in the 'write_commit_graph_context' struct which store
the number of filters that we did and didn't compute, as well as filters
that were truncated.

It would be nice to drop the 'compute_if_not_present' flag entirely,
since all remaining callers of 'get_or_compute_bloom_filter' pass it as
'1', but this will change in a future patch and hence cannot be removed.

97ffa4fab5 commit-graph.c: store maximum changed paths
For now, we assume that there is a fixed constant describing the
maximum number of changed paths we are willing to store in a Bloom
filter.

Prepare for that to (at least partially) not be the case by making it a
member of the 'struct bloom_filter_settings'. This will be helpful in
the subsequent patches by reducing the size of test cases that exercise
storing too many changed paths, as well as preparing for an eventual
future in which this value might change.

This patch alone does not cause newly generated Bloom filters to use
a custom upper-bound on the maximum number of changed paths a single
Bloom filter can hold, that will occur in a later patch.
