Subject: [PATCH v5 06/10] t6600: add clock-skew topologies and step counts for edge cases
Date: Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:37:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c6e3cc13f702344b1d20ae7005b02b90b6677979.1782923832.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2149.v5.git.1782923832.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.
