resolve_gitlink_ref: ignore non-repository paths

2016-01-25T19:42:13Z

When we want to look up a submodule ref, we use get_ref_cache(path) to find or auto-create its ref cache. But if we feed a path that isn't actually a git repository, we blindly create the ref cache, and then may die deeper in the code when we try to access it. This is a problem because many callers speculatively feed us a path that looks vaguely like a repository, and expect us to tell them when it is not. This patch teaches resolve_gitlink_ref to reject non-repository paths without creating a ref_cache. This avoids the die(), and also performs better if you have a large number of these faux-submodule directories (because the ref_cache lookup is linear, under the assumption that there won't be a large number of submodules). To accomplish this, we also break get_ref_cache into two pieces: the lookup and auto-creation (the latter is lumped into create_ref_cache). This lets us first cheaply ask our cache "is it a submodule we know about?" If so, we can avoid repeating our filesystem lookup. So lookups of real submodules are not penalized; they examine the submodule's .git directory only once. The test in t3000 demonstrates a case where this improves correctness (we used to just die). The new perf case in p7300 shows off the speed improvement in an admittedly pathological repository: Test HEAD^ HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------- 7300.4: ls-files -o 66.97(66.15+0.87) 0.33(0.08+0.24) -99.5% Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

filter-branch: skip index read/write when possible

2015-11-06T17:35:49Z

If the user specifies an index filter but not a tree filter, filter-branch cleverly avoids checking out the tree entirely. But we don't do the next level of optimization: if you have no index or tree filter, we do not need to read the index at all. This can greatly speed up cases where we are only changing the commit objects (e.g., cementing a graft into place). Here are numbers from the newly-added perf test: Test HEAD^ HEAD --------------------------------------------------------------- 7000.2: noop filter 13.81(4.95+0.83) 5.43(0.42+0.43) -60.7% Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

t/perf: make runner work even if Git is not installed

2015-09-25T17:44:59Z

aggregate.perl did not work when Git.pm is not installed to a directory contained in the default Perl library path list or PERLLIB. This commit prepends the Perl library path of the current Git source tree to enable this. Note that this commit adds a hard-coded relative path use lib '../../perl/blib/lib'; instead of the flexible environment-based variant use lib (split(/:/, $ENV{GITPERLLIB})); which is used in tests written in Perl. The hard-coded variant is used because the whole performance test framework does it that way (and GITPERLLIB is not set there). Signed-off-by: Stephan Beyer Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

p7300: add performance tests for clean

2015-06-15T20:14:18Z

The tests are run in dry-run mode to avoid having to restore the test directories for each timed iteration. Using dry-run is an acceptable compromise since we are mostly interested in the initial computation of what to clean and not so much in the cleaning it self.

perf-lib: fix ignored exit code inside loop

2015-03-25T17:21:23Z

When copying the test repository, we try to detect whether the copy succeeded. However, most of the heavy lifting is done inside a for loop, where our "break" will lose the exit code of the failing "cp". We can take advantage of the fact that we are in a subshell, and just "exit 1" to break out with a code. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

repack: introduce repack.writeBitmaps config option

2014-06-10T21:05:19Z

We currently have pack.writeBitmaps, which originally operated at the pack-objects level. This should really have been a repack.* option from day one. Let's give it the more sensible name, but keep the old version as a deprecated synonym. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
