Jonathan Tan 59e1205d16 ls-refs: report unborn targets of symrefs
When cloning, we choose the default branch based on the remote HEAD.
But if there is no remote HEAD reported (which could happen if the
target of the remote HEAD is unborn), we'll fall back to using our local
init.defaultBranch. Traditionally this hasn't been a big deal, because
most repos used "master" as the default. But these days it is likely to
cause confusion if the server and client implementations choose
different values (e.g., if the remote started with "main", we may choose
"master" locally, create commits there, and then the user is surprised
when they push to "master" and not "main").

To solve this, the remote needs to communicate the target of the HEAD
symref, even if it is unborn, and "git clone" needs to use this
information.

Currently, symrefs that have unborn targets (such as in this case) are
not communicated by the protocol. Teach Git to advertise and support the
"unborn" feature in "ls-refs" (by default, this is advertised, but
server administrators may turn this off through the lsrefs.unborn
config). This feature indicates that "ls-refs" supports the "unborn"
argument; when it is specified, "ls-refs" will send the HEAD symref with
the name of its unborn target.

This change is only for protocol v2. A similar change for protocol v0
would require independent protocol design (there being no analogous
position to signal support for "unborn") and client-side plumbing of the
data required, so the scope of this patch set is limited to protocol v2.

The client side will be updated to use this in a subsequent commit.

Taylor Blau 2f4ba2a867 packfile: prepare for the existence of '*.rev' files
Specify the format of the on-disk reverse index 'pack-*.rev' file, as
well as prepare the code for the existence of such files.

The reverse index maps from pack relative positions (i.e., an index into
the array of object which is sorted by their offsets within the
packfile) to their position within the 'pack-*.idx' file. Today, this is
done by building up a list of (off_t, uint32_t) tuples for each object
(the off_t corresponding to that object's offset, and the uint32_t
corresponding to its position in the index). To convert between pack and
index position quickly, this array of tuples is radix sorted based on
its offset.

This has two major drawbacks:

First, the in-memory cost scales linearly with the number of objects in
a pack.  Each 'struct revindex_entry' is sizeof(off_t) +
sizeof(uint32_t) + padding bytes for a total of 16.

To observe this, force Git to load the reverse index by, for e.g.,
running 'git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)"'. When asking
for a single object in a fresh clone of the kernel, Git needs to
allocate 120+ MB of memory in order to hold the reverse index in memory.

Second, the cost to sort also scales with the size of the pack.
Luckily, this is a linear function since 'load_pack_revindex()' uses a
radix sort, but this cost still must be paid once per pack per process.

As an example, it takes ~60x longer to print the _size_ of an object as
it does to print that entire object's _contents_:

  Benchmark #1: git.compile cat-file --batch <obj
    Time (mean ± σ):       3.4 ms ±   0.1 ms    [User: 3.3 ms, System: 2.1 ms]
    Range (min … max):     3.2 ms …   3.7 ms    726 runs

  Benchmark #2: git.compile cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <obj
    Time (mean ± σ):     210.3 ms ±   8.9 ms    [User: 188.2 ms, System: 23.2 ms]
    Range (min … max):   193.7 ms … 224.4 ms    13 runs

Instead, avoid computing and sorting the revindex once per process by
writing it to a file when the pack itself is generated.

The format is relatively straightforward. It contains an array of
uint32_t's, the length of which is equal to the number of objects in the
pack.  The ith entry in this table contains the index position of the
ith object in the pack, where "ith object in the pack" is determined by
pack offset.

One thing that the on-disk format does _not_ contain is the full (up to)
eight-byte offset corresponding to each object. This is something that
the in-memory revindex contains (it stores an off_t in 'struct
revindex_entry' along with the same uint32_t that the on-disk format
has). Omit it in the on-disk format, since knowing the index position
for some object is sufficient to get a constant-time lookup in the
pack-*.idx file to ask for an object's offset within the pack.

This trades off between the on-disk size of the 'pack-*.rev' file for
runtime to chase down the offset for some object. Even though the lookup
is constant time, the constant is heavier, since it can potentially
involve two pointer walks in v2 indexes (one to access the 4-byte offset
table, and potentially a second to access the double wide offset table).

Consider trying to map an object's pack offset to a relative position
within that pack. In a cold-cache scenario, more page faults occur while
switching between binary searching through the reverse index and
searching through the *.idx file for an object's offset. Sure enough,
with a cold cache (writing '3' into '/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' after
'sync'ing), printing out the entire object's contents is still
marginally faster than printing its size:

  Benchmark #1: git.compile cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <obj >/dev/null
    Time (mean ± σ):      22.6 ms ±   0.5 ms    [User: 2.4 ms, System: 7.9 ms]
    Range (min … max):    21.4 ms …  23.5 ms    41 runs

  Benchmark #2: git.compile cat-file --batch <obj >/dev/null
    Time (mean ± σ):      17.2 ms ±   0.7 ms    [User: 2.8 ms, System: 5.5 ms]
    Range (min … max):    15.6 ms …  18.2 ms    45 runs

(Numbers taken in the kernel after cheating and using the next patch to
generate a reverse index). There are a couple of approaches to improve
cold cache performance not pursued here:

  - We could include the object offsets in the reverse index format.
    Predictably, this does result in fewer page faults, but it triples
    the size of the file, while simultaneously duplicating a ton of data
    already available in the .idx file. (This was the original way I
    implemented the format, and it did show
    `--batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'` winning out against `--batch`.)

    On the other hand, this increase in size also results in a large
    block-cache footprint, which could potentially hurt other workloads.

  - We could store the mapping from pack to index position in more
    cache-friendly way, like constructing a binary search tree from the
    table and writing the values in breadth-first order. This would
    result in much better locality, but the price you pay is trading
    O(1) lookup in 'pack_pos_to_index()' for an O(log n) one (since you
    can no longer directly index the table).

So, neither of these approaches are taken here. (Thankfully, the format
is versioned, so we are free to pursue these in the future.) But, cold
cache performance likely isn't interesting outside of one-off cases like
asking for the size of an object directly. In real-world usage, Git is
often performing many operations in the revindex (i.e., asking about
many objects rather than a single one).

The trade-off is worth it, since we will avoid the vast majority of the
cost of generating the revindex that the extra pointer chase will look
like noise in the following patch's benchmarks.

This patch describes the format and prepares callers (like in
pack-revindex.c) to be able to read *.rev files once they exist. An
implementation of the writer will appear in the next patch, and callers
will gradually begin to start using the writer in the patches that
follow after that.

The end of the cache tree index extension format trails off with
ellipses ever since 23fcc98 (doc: technical details about the index
file format, 2011-03-01). While an intuitive reader could gather what
this means, it could be better to use "and so on" instead.

Really, this is only justified because I also wanted to point out that
the number of subtrees in the index format is used to determine when the
recursive depth-first-search stack should be "popped." This should help
to add clarity to the format.

Derrick Stolee 22ad8600c1 index-format: update preamble to cache tree extension
I had difficulty in my efforts to learn about the cache tree extension
based on the documentation and code because I had an incorrect
assumption about how it behaved. This might be due to some ambiguity in
the documentation, so this change modifies the beginning of the cache
tree format by expanding the description of the feature.

My hope is that this documentation clarifies a few things:

1. There is an in-memory recursive tree structure that is constructed
   from the extension data. This structure has a few differences, such
   as where the name is stored.

2. What does it mean for an entry to be invalid?

3. When exactly are "new" trees created?

Junio C Hamano 2aeafbc896 Merge branch 'jt/trace-error-on-warning'
Like die() and error(), a call to warning() will also trigger a
trace2 event.

Jonathan Tan 0ee10fd129 usage: add trace2 entry upon warning()
Emit a trace2 error event whenever warning() is called, just like when
die(), error(), or usage() is called.

This helps debugging issues that would trigger warnings but not errors.
In particular, this might have helped debugging an issue I encountered
with commit graphs at $DAYJOB [1].

There is a tradeoff between including potentially relevant messages and
cluttering up the trace output produced. I think that warning() messages
should be included in traces, because by its nature, Git is used over
multiple invocations of the Git tool, and a failure (currently traced)
in a Git invocation might be caused by an unexpected interaction in a
previous Git invocation that only has a warning (currently untraced) as
a symptom - as is the case in [1].

Elijah Newren c64432aacd t6423: more involved rules for renaming directories into each other
Testcases 12b and 12c were both slightly weird; they were marked as
having a weird resolution, but with the note that even straightforward
simple rules can give weird results when the input is bizarre.

However, during optimization work for merge-ort, I discovered a
significant speedup that is possible if we add one more fairly
straightforward rule: we don't bother doing directory rename detection
if there are no new files added to the directory on the other side of
the history to be affected by the directory rename.  This seems like an
obvious and straightforward rule, but there was one funny corner case
where directory rename detection could affect only existing files: the
funny corner case where two directories are renamed into each other on
opposite sides of history.  In other words, it only results in a
different output for testcases 12b and 12c.

Since we already thought testcases 12b and 12c were weird anyway, and
because the optimization often has a significant effect on common cases
(but is entirely prevented if we can't change how 12b and 12c function),
let's add the additional rule and tweak how 12b and 12c work.  Split
both testcases into two (one where we add no new files, and one where
the side that doesn't rename a given directory will add files to it),
and mark them with the new expectation.

Elijah Newren 8536821d05 t6423: update directory rename detection tests with new rule
While investigating the issues highlighted by the testcase in the
previous patch, I also found a shortcoming in the directory rename
detection rules.  Split testcase 6b into two to explain this issue
and update directory-rename-detection.txt to remove one of the previous
rules that I know believe to be detrimental.  Also, update the wording
around testcase 8e; while we are not modifying the results of that
testcase, we were previously unsure of the appropriate resolution of
that test and the new rule makes the previously chosen resolution for
that testcase a bit more solid.

Taylor Blau 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.
