git/negotiator, branch v2.34.2

use CALLOC_ARRAY

2021-03-14T00:00:09Z

Add and apply a semantic patch for converting code that open-codes CALLOC_ARRAY to use it instead. It shortens the code and infers the element size automatically. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

negotiator/noop: add noop fetch negotiator

2020-08-18T20:25:05Z

Add a noop fetch negotiator. This is introduced to allow partial clones to skip the unneeded negotiation step when fetching missing objects using a "git fetch" subprocess. (The implementation of spawning a "git fetch" subprocess will be done in a subsequent patch.) But this can also be useful for end users, e.g. as a blunt fix for object corruption.

Merge branch 'jt/fetch-negotiator-skipping'

2018-08-02T22:30:46Z

Add a server-side knob to skip commits in exponential/fibbonacci stride in an attempt to cover wider swath of history with a smaller number of iterations, potentially accepting a larger packfile transfer, instead of going back one commit a time during common ancestor discovery during the "git fetch" transaction. * jt/fetch-negotiator-skipping: negotiator/skipping: skip commits during fetch

Merge branch 'sb/object-store-lookup'

2018-08-02T22:30:42Z

lookup_commit_reference() and friends have been updated to find in-core object for a specific in-core repository instance. * sb/object-store-lookup: (32 commits) commit.c: allow lookup_commit_reference to handle arbitrary repositories commit.c: allow lookup_commit_reference_gently to handle arbitrary repositories tag.c: allow deref_tag to handle arbitrary repositories object.c: allow parse_object to handle arbitrary repositories object.c: allow parse_object_buffer to handle arbitrary repositories commit.c: allow get_cached_commit_buffer to handle arbitrary repositories commit.c: allow set_commit_buffer to handle arbitrary repositories commit.c: migrate the commit buffer to the parsed object store commit-slabs: remove realloc counter outside of slab struct commit.c: allow parse_commit_buffer to handle arbitrary repositories tag: allow parse_tag_buffer to handle arbitrary repositories tag: allow lookup_tag to handle arbitrary repositories commit: allow lookup_commit to handle arbitrary repositories tree: allow lookup_tree to handle arbitrary repositories blob: allow lookup_blob to handle arbitrary repositories object: allow lookup_object to handle arbitrary repositories object: allow object_as_type to handle arbitrary repositories tag: add repository argument to deref_tag tag: add repository argument to parse_tag_buffer tag: add repository argument to lookup_tag ...

negotiator/skipping: skip commits during fetch

2018-07-16T21:51:12Z

Introduce a new negotiation algorithm used during fetch that skips commits in an effort to find common ancestors faster. The skips grow similarly to the Fibonacci sequence as the commit walk proceeds further away from the tips. The skips may cause unnecessary commits to be included in the packfile, but the negotiation step typically ends more quickly. Usage of this algorithm is guarded behind the configuration flag fetch.negotiationAlgorithm. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

fetch-pack: introduce negotiator API

2018-06-15T15:44:24Z

Introduce the new files fetch-negotiator.{h,c}, which contains an API behind which the details of negotiation are abstracted. Currently, only one algorithm is available: the existing one. This patch is written to be easily reviewed: static functions are moved verbatim from fetch-pack.c to negotiator/default.c, and it can be seen that the lines replaced by negotiator->X() calls are present in the X() functions respectively.
