Subject: [PATCH v6 06/10] t6600: add clock-skew topologies and step counts for edge cases
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 13:27:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <171b3cd3ae13f8dee724530b89f64c46ddbb3906.1783776466.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2149.v6.git.1783776466.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Kristofer Karlsson <krka@spotify.com>
Add topologies and tests exercising paint_down_to_common() under
clock skew, where commit-date ordering (v1 commit-graph without
corrected commit dates) violates the topological invariant that
children are dequeued before parents:
- se-*: side-exhaustion fires too early when one paint side fully
drains from the queue while a low-date ancestor on the other
side is still queued
- se2-*: side-exhaustion returns a too-deep merge base because
the correct (closer) base never receives both paint sides
Also add step counts to the edge-case tests from the previous
commit, a mixed finite/INFINITY generation topology exercising
the transition from INFINITY-generation commits to graph-backed
commits, and step counts for the grid-based merge-base test.
