There was a bug in the codepath to upgrade generation information
in commit-graph from v1 to v2 format, which has been corrected.
* tb/commit-graph-genv2-upgrade-fix:
commit-graph: fix corrupt upgrade from generation v1 to v2
commit-graph: introduce `repo_find_commit_pos_in_graph()`
t5318: demonstrate commit-graph generation v2 corruption
Low-level callers in systems that are adjacent to the commit-graph (like
the changed-path Bloom filter code) could benefit from being able to
call a function like `parse_commit_in_graph()` without modifying the
corresponding commit slab data.
This is useful in contexts where that slab data is being used to prepare
for an upcoming commit-graph write, where Git must be careful to avoid
clobbering any of that data during a read operation.
Introduce a low-level variant of `parse_commit_in_graph()` which returns
the graph position of a given commit only, without modifying any of the
slab data.

The parse_commit_graph() function takes a 'struct repository *' pointer,
but it only ever accesses config settings (either directly or through
the .settings field of the repo struct). Move all relevant config
settings into the repo_settings struct, and update parse_commit_graph()
and its existing callers so that it takes 'struct repo_settings *'
instead.
Callers of parse_commit_graph() will now need to call
prepare_repo_settings() themselves, or initialize a 'struct
repo_settings' directly.
Prior to ab14d0676c (commit-graph: pass a 'struct repository *' in more
places, 2020-09-09), parsing a commit-graph was a pure function
depending only on the contents of the commit-graph itself. Commit
ab14d0676c introduced a dependency on a `struct repository` pointer, and
later commits such as b66d84756f (commit-graph: respect
'commitGraph.readChangedPaths', 2020-09-09) added dependencies on config
settings, which were accessed through the `settings` field of the
repository pointer. This field was initialized via a call to
`prepare_repo_settings()`.
Additionally, this fixes an issue in fuzz-commit-graph: In 44c7e62
(2021-12-06, repo-settings:prepare_repo_settings only in git repos),
prepare_repo_settings was changed to issue a BUG() if it is called by a
process whose CWD is not a Git repository.
The combination of commits mentioned above broke fuzz-commit-graph,
which attempts to parse arbitrary fuzzing-engine-provided bytes as a
commit graph file. Prior to this change, parse_commit_graph() called
prepare_repo_settings(), but since we run the fuzz tests without a valid
repository, we are hitting the BUG() from 44c7e62 for every test case.

When this code was migrated to the string_list API in
d88b14b3fd (commit-graph: use string-list API for input, 2018-06-27)
it was made to use used both STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP and a
strbuf_detach() pattern.
Those should not be used together if string_list_clear() is expected
to free the memory, instead we need to either use STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP
with a string_list_append_nodup(), or a STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP and
manually fiddle with the "strdup_strings" member before calling
string_list_clear(). Let's do the former.
Since "strdup_strings = 1" is set now other code might be broken by
relying on "pack_indexes" not to duplicate it strings, but that
doesn't happen. When we pass this down to write_commit_graph() that
code uses the "struct string_list" without modifying it. Let's add a
"const" to the variable to have the compiler enforce that assumption.

When queueing references in git-rev-list(1), we try to optimize parsing
of commits via the commit-graph. To do so, we first look up the object's
type, and if it is a commit we call `repo_parse_commit()` instead of
`parse_object()`. This is quite inefficient though given that we're
always uncompressing the object header in order to determine the type.
Instead, we can opportunistically search the commit-graph for the object
ID: in case it's found, we know it's a commit and can directly fill in
the commit object without having to uncompress the object header.
Expose a new function `lookup_commit_in_graph()`, which tries to find a
commit in the commit-graph by ID, and convert `get_reference()` to use
this function. This provides a big performance win in cases where we
load references in a repository with lots of references pointing to
commits. The following has been executed in a real-world repository with
about 2.2 million refs:
Benchmark #1: HEAD~: rev-list --unsorted-input --objects --quiet --not --all --not $newrev

We have two established generation number versions:
1: topological levels
2: corrected commit dates
The corrected commit dates are enabled by default, but they also write
extra data in the GDAT and GDOV chunks. Services that host Git data
might want to have more control over when this feature rolls out than
just updating the Git binaries.
Add a new "commitGraph.generationVersion" config option that specifies
the intended generation number version. If this value is less than 2,
then the GDAT chunk is never written _or read_ from an existing file.
This can replace our use of the GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT
environment variable in the test suite. Remove it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"git commit-graph write" learned to limit the number of bloom

commit-graph: rename 'split_commit_graph_opts'
bloom: encode out-of-bounds filters as non-empty

t/helper/test-read-graph.c: prepare repo settings

t4216: use an '&&'-chain
commit-graph: introduce 'get_bloom_filter_settings()'
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.

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.

Many places in the code often need a pointer to the commit-graph's
'struct bloom_filter_settings', in which case they often take the value
from the top-most commit-graph.
In the non-split case, this works as expected. In the split case,
however, things get a little tricky. Not all layers in a chain of
incremental commit-graphs are required to themselves have Bloom data,
and so whether or not some part of the code uses Bloom filters depends
entirely on whether or not the top-most level of the commit-graph chain
has Bloom filters.
This has been the behavior since Bloom filters were introduced, and has
been codified into the tests since a759bfa9ee (t4216: add end to end
tests for git log with Bloom filters, 2020-04-06). In fact, t4216.130
requires that Bloom filters are not used in exactly the case described
earlier.
There is no reason that this needs to be the case, since it is perfectly
valid for commits in an earlier layer to have Bloom filters when commits
in a newer layer do not.
Since Bloom settings are guaranteed in practice to be the same for any
layer in a chain that has Bloom data, it is sufficient to traverse the
'->base_graph' pointer until either (1) a non-null 'struct
bloom_filter_settings *' is found, or (2) until we are at the root of
the commit-graph chain.
Introduce a 'get_bloom_filter_settings()' function that does just this,
and use it instead of purely dereferencing the top-most graph's
'->bloom_filter_settings' pointer.
While we're at it, add an additional test in t5324 to guard against code
in the commit-graph writing machinery that doesn't correctly handle a
NULL 'struct bloom_filter *'.

The changed-path Bloom filters were released in v2.27.0, but have a
significant drawback. A user can opt-in to writing the changed-path
filters using the "--changed-paths" option to "git commit-graph write"
but the next write will drop the filters unless that option is
specified.
This becomes even more important when considering the interaction with
gc.writeCommitGraph (on by default) or fetch.writeCommitGraph (part of
features.experimental). These config options trigger commit-graph writes
that the user did not signal, and hence there is no --changed-paths
option available.
Allow a user that opts-in to the changed-path filters to persist the
property of "my commit-graph has changed-path filters" automatically. A
user can drop filters using the --no-changed-paths option.
In the process, we need to be extremely careful to match the Bloom
filter settings as specified by the commit-graph. This will allow future
versions of Git to customize these settings, and the version with this
change will persist those settings as commit-graphs are rewritten on
top.
Use the trace2 API to signal the settings used during the write, and
check that output in a test after manually adjusting the correct bytes
in the commit-graph file.

The struct commit is used in many contexts. However, members
`generation` and `graph_pos` are only used for commit-graph related
operations and otherwise waste memory.
This wastage would have been more pronounced as we transition to
generation number v2, which uses 64-bit generation number instead of
current 32-bits.
As they are often accessed together, let's introduce struct
commit_graph_data and move them to a commit_graph_data slab.
While the overall test suite runs just as fast as master,
(series: 26m48s, master: 27m34s, faster by 2.87%), certain commands
like `git merge-base --is-ancestor` were slowed by 40% as discovered
by Szeder Gábor [1]. After minimizing commit-slab access, the slow down
persists but is closer to 20%.
Derrick Stolee believes the slow down is attributable to the underlying
algorithm rather than the slowness of commit-slab access [2] and we will
follow-up in a later series.

Since 7c5c9b9c57 (commit-graph: error out on invalid commit oids in
'write --stdin-commits', 2019-08-05), the commit-graph builtin dies on
receiving non-commit OIDs as input to '--stdin-commits'.
This behavior can be cumbersome to work around in, say, the case of
piping 'git for-each-ref' to 'git commit-graph write --stdin-commits' if
the caller does not want to cull out non-commits themselves. In this
situation, it would be ideal if 'git commit-graph write' wrote the graph
containing the inputs that did pertain to commits, and silently ignored
the remainder of the input.
Some options have been proposed to the effect of '--[no-]check-oids'
which would allow callers to have the commit-graph builtin do just that.
After some discussion, it is difficult to imagine a caller who wouldn't
want to pass '--no-check-oids', suggesting that we should get rid of the
behavior of complaining about non-commit inputs altogether.
If callers do wish to retain this behavior, they can easily work around
this change by doing the following:
git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(objecttype) %(*objecttype)' |
awk '
!/commit/ { print "not-a-commit:"$1 }
/commit/ { print $1 }
' |
git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
To make it so that valid OIDs that refer to non-existent objects are

The GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH environment variable updates the commit-

have an updated commit-graph throughout the test suite. The
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS environment variable was
introduced to write the changed-path Bloom filters whenever "git
commit-graph write" is run. However, the GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH
trick doesn't launch a separate process and instead writes it
directly.
To expand the number of tests that have commits in the commit-graph

The 'write_commit_graph()' function takes in either a string list of
pack indices, or a string list of hexadecimal commit OIDs. These
correspond to the '--stdin-packs' and '--stdin-commits' mode(s) from
'git commit-graph write'.
Using a string_list of hexadecimal commit IDs is not the most efficient
use of memory, since we can instead use the 'struct oidset', which is
more well-suited for this case.
This has another benefit which will become apparent in the following
commit. This is that we are about to disambiguate the kinds of errors we
produce with '--stdin-commits' into "non-hex input" and "hex-input, but
referring to a non-commit object". By having 'write_commit_graph' take
in a 'struct oidset *' of commits, we place the burden on the caller (in
this case, the builtin) to handle the first case, and the commit-graph
machinery can handle the second case.

When using split commit-graphs, it is sometimes useful to completely
replace the commit-graph chain with a new base.
For example, consider a scenario in which a repository builds a new
commit-graph incremental for each push. Occasionally (say, after some
fixed number of pushes), they may wish to rebuild the commit-graph chain
with all reachable commits.
They can do so with
$ git commit-graph write --reachable
but this removes the chain entirely and replaces it with a single
commit-graph in 'objects/info/commit-graph'. Unfortunately, this means
that the next push will have to move this commit-graph into the first
layer of a new chain, and then write its new commits on top.
Avoid such copying entirely by allowing the caller to specify that they
wish to replace the entirety of their commit-graph chain, while also
specifying that the new commit-graph should become the basis of a fresh,
length-one chain.
This addresses the above situation by making it possible for the caller
to instead write:
$ git commit-graph write --reachable --split=replace
which writes a new length-one chain to 'objects/info/commit-graphs',
making the commit-graph incremental generated by the subsequent push
relatively cheap by avoiding the aforementioned copy.
In order to do this, remove an assumption in 'write_commit_graph_file'
that chains are always at least two incrementals long.

In the previous commit, we laid the groundwork for supporting different
splitting strategies. In this commit, we introduce the first splitting
strategy: 'no-merge'.
Passing '--split=no-merge' is useful for callers which wish to write a
new incremental commit-graph, but do not want to spend effort condensing
the incremental chain [1]. Previously, this was possible by passing
'--size-multiple=0', but this no longer the case following 63020f175f
(commit-graph: prefer default size_mult when given zero, 2020-01-02).
When '--split=no-merge' is given, the commit-graph machinery will never
condense an existing chain, and it will always write a new incremental.
[1]: This might occur when, for example, a server administrator running
some program after each push may want to ensure that each job runs
proportional in time to the size of the push, and does not "jump" when
the commit-graph machinery decides to trigger a merge.

With '--split', the commit-graph machinery writes new commits in another
incremental commit-graph which is part of the existing chain, and
optionally decides to condense the chain into a single commit-graph.
This is done to ensure that the asymptotic behavior of looking up a
commit in an incremental chain is not dominated by the number of
incrementals in that chain. It can be controlled by the '--max-commits'
and '--size-multiple' options.
In the next two commits, we will introduce additional splitting
strategies that can exert additional control over:
- when a split commit-graph is and isn't written, and
- when the existing commit-graph chain is discarded completely and
replaced with another graph
To prepare for this, make '--split' take an optional strategy (as in
'--split[=<strategy>]'), and add a new enum to describe which strategy
is being used. For now, no strategies are given, and the only enumerated
value is 'COMMIT_GRAPH_SPLIT_UNSPECIFIED', indicating the absence of a
strategy.

This prevents a potential bug where a pointer comparison is made to a

fact they do not (i.e., in the case of no '--object-dir').

As of the previous patch, all calls to 'commit-graph.c' functions which
perform path normalization (for e.g., 'get_commit_graph_filename()') are
of the form 'ctx->odb->path', which is always in normalized form.
Now that there are no callers passing non-normalized paths to these
functions, ensure that future callers are bound by the same restrictions
by making these functions take a 'struct object_directory *' instead of
a 'const char *'. To match, replace all calls with arguments of the form
'ctx->odb->path' with 'ctx->odb' To recover the path, functions that
perform path manipulation simply use 'odb->path'.
Further, avoid string comparisons with arguments of the form
'odb->path', and instead prefer raw pointer comparisons, which
accomplish the same effect, but are far less brittle.
This has a pleasant side-effect of making these functions much more
robust to paths that cannot be normalized by 'normalize_path_copy()',
i.e., because they are outside of the current working directory.
For example, prior to this patch, Valgrind reports that the following
uninitialized memory read [1]:
$ ( cd t && GIT_DIR=../.git valgrind git rev-parse HEAD^ )
because 'normalize_path_copy()' can't normalize '../.git' (since it's
relative to but above of the current working directory) [2].
By using a 'struct object_directory *' directly,
'get_commit_graph_filename()' does not need to normalize, because all
paths are relative to the current working directory since they are
always read from the '->path' of an object directory.
[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20191027042116.GA5801@sigill.intra.peff.net.
[2]: The bug here is that 'get_commit_graph_filename()' returns the
result of 'normalize_path_copy()' without checking the return
value.

In a previous patch, the 'char *object_dir' in 'struct commit_graph' was
replaced with a 'struct object_directory'. This patch applies the same
treatment to 'struct commit_graph', which is another intermediate step
towards getting rid of all path normalization in 'commit-graph.c'.
Instead of taking a 'char *object_dir', functions that construct a
'struct commit_graph' now take a 'struct object_directory *'. Any code
that needs an object directory path use '->path' instead.
This ensures that all calls to functions that perform path normalization
are given arguments which do not themselves require normalization. This
prepares those functions to drop their normalization entirely, which
will occur in the subsequent patch.

There are lots of places in 'commit-graph.h' where a function either has
(or almost has) a full 'struct object_directory *', accesses '->path',
and then throws away the rest of the struct.
This can cause headaches when comparing the locations of object
directories across alternates (e.g., in the case of deciding if two
commit-graph layers can be merged). These paths are normalized with
'normalize_path_copy()' which mitigates some comparison issues, but not
all [1].
Replace usage of 'char *object_dir' with 'odb->path' by storing a
'struct object_directory *' in the 'write_commit_graph_context'
structure. This is an intermediate step towards getting rid of all path
normalization in 'commit-graph.c'.
Resolving a user-provided '--object-dir' argument now requires that we
compare it to the known alternates for equality. Prior to this patch,
an unknown '--object-dir' argument would silently exit with status zero.
This can clearly lead to unintended behavior, such as verifying
commit-graphs that aren't in a repository's own object store (or one of
its alternates), or causing a typo to mask a legitimate commit-graph
verification failure. Make this error non-silent by 'die()'-ing when the
given '--object-dir' does not match any known alternate object store.
[1]: In my testing, for example, I can get one side of the commit-graph
code to fill object_dir with "./objects" and the other with just
"objects".

When the client has asked for certain shallow options like
"deepen-since", we do a custom rev-list walk that pretends to be
shallow. Before doing so, we have to disable the commit-graph, since it
is not compatible with the shallow view of the repository. That's
handled by 829a321569 (commit-graph: close_commit_graph before shallow
walk, 2018-08-20). That commit literally closes and frees our
repo->objects->commit_graph struct.
That creates an interesting problem for commits that have _already_ been
parsed using the commit graph. Their commit->object.parsed flag is set,
their commit->graph_pos is set, but their commit->maybe_tree may still
be NULL. When somebody later calls repo_get_commit_tree(), we see that
we haven't loaded the tree oid yet and try to get it from the commit
graph. But since it has been freed, we segfault!
So the root of the issue is a data dependency between the commit's
lazy-load of the tree oid and the fact that the commit graph can go
away mid-process. How can we resolve it?
There are a couple of general approaches:
1. The obvious answer is to avoid loading the tree from the graph when
we see that it's NULL. But then what do we return for the tree oid?
If we return NULL, our caller in do_traverse() will rightly
complain that we have no tree. We'd have to fallback to loading the
actual commit object and re-parsing it. That requires teaching
parse_commit_buffer() to understand re-parsing (i.e., not starting
from a clean slate and not leaking any allocated bits like parent
list pointers).
2. When we close the commit graph, walk through the set of in-memory
objects and clear any graph_pos pointers. But this means we also
have to "unparse" any such commits so that we know they still need
to open the commit object to fill in their trees. So it's no less
complicated than (1), and is more expensive (since we clear objects
we might not later need).
3. Stop freeing the commit-graph struct. Continue to let it be used
for lazy-loads of tree oids, but let upload-pack specify that it
shouldn't be used for further commit parsing.
4. Push the whole shallow rev-list out to its own sub-process, with
the commit-graph disabled from the start, giving it a clean memory
space to work from.
I've chosen (3) here. Options (1) and (2) would work, but are
non-trivial to implement. Option (4) is more expensive, and I'm not sure
how complicated it is (shelling out for the actual rev-list part is
easy, but we do then parse the resulting commits internally, and I'm not
clear which parts need to be handling shallow-ness).
The new test in t5500 triggers this segfault, but see the comments there
for how horribly intimate it has to be with how both upload-pack and
commit graphs work.

While 'git commit-graph write --stdin-commits' expects commit object

# sometimes I forgot that refs are not good...

$ ls -l .git/objects/info/commit-graph

Check that all input records are indeed valid commit object ids and
return with error otherwise, the same way '--stdin-packs' handles
invalid input; see e103f7276f (commit-graph: return with errors during
write, 2019-06-12).
Note that it should only return with error when encountering an
invalid commit object id coming from standard input. However,
'--reachable' uses the same code path to process object ids pointed to
by all refs, and that includes tag object ids as well, which should
still be skipped over. Therefore add a new flag to 'enum
commit_graph_write_flags' and a corresponding field to 'struct
write_commit_graph_context', so we can differentiate between those two
cases.

In an environment like a fork network, it is helpful to have a
commit-graph chain that spans both the base repo and the fork repo. The
fork is usually a small set of data on top of the large repo, but
sometimes the fork is much larger. For example, git-for-windows/git has
almost double the number of commits as git/git because it rebases its
commits on every major version update.
To allow cross-alternate commit-graph chains, we need a few pieces:
1. When looking for a graph-{hash}.graph file, check all alternates.
2. When merging commit-graph chains, do not merge across alternates.
3. When writing a new commit-graph chain based on a commit-graph file
in another object directory, do not allow success if the base file
has of the name "commit-graph" instead of
"commit-graphs/graph-{hash}.graph".

Extend write_commit_graph() to write a commit-graph chain when given the
COMMIT_GRAPH_SPLIT flag.
This implementation is purposefully simplistic in how it creates a new
chain. The commits not already in the chain are added to a new tip
commit-graph file.
Much of the logic around writing a graph-{hash}.graph file and updating
the commit-graph-chain file is the same as the commit-graph file case.
However, there are several places where we need to do some extra logic
in the split case.
Track the list of graph filenames before and after the planned write.
This will be more important when we start merging graph files, but it
also allows us to upgrade our commit-graph file to the appropriate
graph-{hash}.graph file when we upgrade to a chain of commit-graphs.
Note that we use the eighth byte of the commit-graph header to store the
number of base graph files. This determines the length of the base
graphs chunk.
A subtle change of behavior with the new logic is that we do not write a
commit-graph if we our commit list is empty. This extends to the typical
case, which is reflected in t5318-commit-graph.sh.

To prepare for a chain of commit-graph files, augment the
commit_graph struct to point to a base commit_graph. As we load
commits from the graph, we may actually want to read from a base
file according to the graph position.
The "graph position" of a commit is given by concatenating the
lexicographic commit orders from each of the commit-graph files in
the chain. This means that we must distinguish two values:
* lexicographic index : the position within the lexicographic
order in a single commit-graph file.
* graph position: the position within the concatenated order
of multiple commit-graph files
Given the lexicographic index of a commit in a graph, we can
compute the graph position by adding the number of commits in
the lower-level graphs. To find the lexicographic index of
a commit, we subtract the number of commits in lower-level graphs.
While here, change insert_parent_or_die() to take a uint32_t
position, as that is the type used by its only caller and that
makes more sense with the limits in the commit-graph format.
