Subject: [PATCH v3] show-branch: convert per-branch flags to commit-slab
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 07:17:22 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715015158.48559-1-gatlavishweshwarreddy26@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260714220042.GC4095533@coredump.intra.peff.net>
show-branch uses commit->object.flags to store per-branch
reachability bits, one bit per branch starting at REV_SHIFT.
The flags word has only a fixed number of available bits, limiting
the number of branches that can be shown simultaneously to MAX_REVS.
Convert the per-branch bits to a dedicated commit-slab using uint64_t
as the element type, initialized with a stride via
init_commit_rev_flags_with_stride(). Keep the UNINTERESTING bit in
object.flags where it belongs, as it is used for revision walking and
does not need to be in the per-branch slab. With UNINTERESTING removed
from the slab, REV_SHIFT becomes 0 and all 64 bits of uint64_t are
available for branch tracking, lifting MAX_REVS from 27 to 64 branches.
Add helper functions get_rev_flags_ptr(), peek_rev_flags_ptr(),
has_any_rev_flags(), or_rev_flag_bit(), test_rev_flag_bit(), and
has_all_rev_flags() to encapsulate per-bit slab access cleanly.
Update all bit operations to use UINT64_C(1) for correct 64-bit shifts.
Initialize and clear the slab in cmd_show_branch().

Changes in v3:
- Keep UNINTERESTING in object.flags as suggested by Junio
- Slab stores only per-branch bits with REV_SHIFT=0
- All 64 bits of uint64_t available for branches, MAX_REVS=64
- Fix uint64_t flag in omit_in_dense() (was int)
- Fix indentation in show_merge_base()
- Replace all_mask/all_revs with has_all_rev_flags() helper
- Use UINT64_C(1) for all bit shifts
In response to Junio:
- UNINTERESTING kept in object.flags; slab is per-branch bits only
In response to Jeff King:
- init_commit_rev_flags_with_stride() is used as foundation.
Current stride=1 gives 64 branches. Dynamic stride for >64
branches can be added as a follow-up.
