* [PATCH] user-manual: add advanced topic "bisecting merges"
From: Steffen Prohaska @ 2007-11-04  9:16 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Steffen Prohaska

This commits adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting
merge commits to the user manual. The text is slightly
adapted from a mail by Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
to the mailing list
<http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>.

The discussion is added to "Exploring git history" in a
sub-section titled "Advanced topics". The discussion requires
detailed knowledge about git. It is assumed that the reader will
skip advanced topics on first reading. At least the text suggest
to do so.

Junio's discussion was enlightening for me. I think it's a good idea to add
such discussions to the user manual. It was not obvious to me where to place
the discussion in the current structure of the manual. So I added "Advanced
topics".

Is a sub-section "Advanced topics" a good idea? Any better suggestions?

+Why bisecting merge commits can be harder than bisecting linear history
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The following text is based upon an email by Junio C. Hamano to
+the git mailing list
+(link:http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2[link:http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2]).
+It was slightly adapted for this manual.
+
+Bisecting merges can be challenging due to the complexity of
+changes introduced at a merge.  Bisecting through merges is not a
+technical problem. The real problem is what to do when the
+culprit turns out to be a merge commit.  How to spot what really
+is wrong, and figure out how to fix.  The problem is not for the
+tool but for the human, and it is real.
+
+Imagine this history.
+
+................................................
+      ---Z---o---X---...---o---A---C---D
+          \                       /
+           o---o---Y---...---o---B
+................................................
+
+Suppose that on the upper development line, the meaning of one
+of the functions existed at Z was changed at commit X.  The
+commits from Z leading to A change both the function's
+implementation and all calling sites that existed at Z, as well
+as new calling sites they add, to be consistent.  There is no
+bug at A.
+
+Suppose in the meantime the lower development line somebody
+added a new calling site for that function at commit Y.  The
+commits from Z leading to B all assume the old semantics of that
+function and the callers and the callee are consistent with each
+other.  There is no bug at B, either.
+
+You merge to create C.  There is no textual conflict with this
+three way merge, and the result merges cleanly.  You bisect
+this, because you found D is bad and you know Z was good.  Your
+bisect will find that C (merge) is broken.  Understandably so,
+as at C, the new calling site of the function added by the lower
+branch is not converted to the new semantics, while all the
+other calling sites that already existed at Z would have been
+converted by the merge.  The new calling site has semantic
+adjustment needed, but you do not know that yet.  You need to
+find out that is the cause of the breakage by looking at the
+merge commit C and the history leading to it.
+
+How would you do that?
+
+Both "git diff A C" and "git diff B C" would be an enormous patch.
+Each of them essentially shows the whole change on each branch
+since they diverged.  The developers may have well behaved to
+create good commits that follow the "commit small, commit often,
+commit well contained units" mantra, and each individual commit
+leading from Z to A and from Z to B may be easy to review and
+understand, but looking at these small and easily reviewable
+steps alone would not let you spot the breakage.  You need to
+have a global picture of what the upper branch did (and
+among many, one of them is to change the semantics of that
+particular function) and look first at the huge "diff A C"
+(which shows the change the lower branch introduces), and see if
+that huge change is consistent with what have been done between
+Z and A.
+
+If you linearlize the history by rebasing the lower branch on
+top of upper, instead of merging, the bug becomes much easier to
+find and understand.  Your history would instead be:
+
+................................................................
+    ---Z---o---X--...---o---A---o---o---Y*--...---o---B*--D*
+................................................................
+
+and there is a single commit Y* between A and B* that introduced
+the new calling site that still uses the old semantics of the
+function, even though that was already modified at X. "git show
+Y*" will be a much smaller patch than "git diff A C" and it is
+much easier to deal with.

Sorry i have been away and come back just now.

I think it's a rare case that the submodule entry in the index is
different from HEAD when the submodule is not checked out.

This may only happen when git-reset --soft is called. However, it may
be a wrong  operation to commit the changed submodule index entry
while the submodule is never checked out.

There is another similar case, 'git pull' update the submodule entry
in both HEAD and index, but the submodule checked out is not updated.
In this case, 'git-log since..until'  in the submodule directory will
fail since 'until' commit is not checked out yet. I think it may be
also a user mistake.

In both case, i think the user should be notified about the
inconsistence. My patch handle this by two warning messages as follows
(where $name is module name)

+                       cd $name >&/dev/null || { echo "  Warning:
fail to chdir to $name" && exit; }

Now that I have sned those patches ;-) I have a few doubts about them

I'd like some comments on that series, preferably by someone better 
with Perl than me, but I think this is a good change performance wise.

More tests is always good.

Now I'm not so sure about this, because it changes semantics of "next page"
and alternate view links: after this series they count from current
version, not from the displayed version.

But perhaps those doubts are unnecessary...

This removes unnecessary code, which can cause mysterious errors.

This simplifies gitweb code, and I think there aren't any issues with those
patches.

Every piece of dwimmery is suggested by someone and usually backed by a few,
so it's likely wanted by many. Your ultra-conserative "works for *me*, so
shut up and stop trying to change things" means git really has to be flawless.
For you, that is. For others, there are still things to improve. I'd
appreciate if you could losen the "MY playpen" a little though, as it takes
an awful lot of energy from the constructive discussions.

I believe it doesn't matter what prefix we use for a
_progress indicator_, as long as we use the same prefix for
the the amount already transferred and the bandwidth. A precise
language doesn't matter here.

Here is a short excerpt from a discussion of the standard.
I haven't downloaded the full document "IEEE Trial-Use Standard
for Prefixes for Binary Multiples" but copied from Wikipedia <http:// 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix>:


“This standard is prepared with two goals in mind: (1) to
preserve the SI prefixes as unambiguous decimal multipliers and
(2) to provide alternative prefixes for those cases where binary
multipliers are needed. The first goal affects the general
public, the wide audience of technical and nontechnical persons
who use computers without much concern for their construction
or inner working. These persons will normally interpret kilo,
mega, etc., in their proper decimal sense. The second goal
speaks to specialists—the prefixes for binary multiples make
it possible for persons who work in the information sciences
to communicate with precision.”


Binary multiplier make it possible to communicate with
precision. If you use the binary prefixes it is absolutely
clear what you are talking about. The meaning of the old
prefixes depend on the context.

But all this does not matter here. We are talking about a
progress indicator. Precision doesn't matter. The user wants
to be sure that something is happening and get an idea of how
much longer it will take to finish the fetch. An approximation
is sufficient.

What matters though is saving two characters, because the line
width is limited. So lets take "MB, kB".

* [PATCH qgit] Add support for --early-output option of git log command
From: Marco Costalba @ 2007-11-04 10:25 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git Mailing List; +Cc: Linus Torvalds

With this option 'git log' outputs the first commits
as soon as they are ready in order to be able to show at
least something quickly, even if the full output may take
longer to generate.

At the end of the reordering correct revisions are re-sent.

This avoid the user to wait in front a blank screen for
several seconds in case of big repos and cold chaches.

STGit repositories are still not correctly handled, and
file history (annotation) does not uses, still, this new
--early-output feature.

* [PATCH 02/10] Update git-sh-setup(1) to allow transparent use of git-rev-parse --parseopt
From: Pierre Habouzit @ 2007-11-04 10:30 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gitster, Junio C Hamano; +Cc: git, Pierre Habouzit
In-Reply-To: <1194172262-1563-2-git-send-email-madcoder@debian.org>

If you set OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setups uses git-rev-parse --parseopt
automatically.

It also diverts usage to re-exec $0 with the -h option as parse-options.c
will catch that.

If you need git-rev-parse --parseopt to keep the `--` the user may have
passed to your command, just set OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH to a non empty value.

* ph/parseopt-sh reloaded
From: Pierre Habouzit @ 2007-11-04 10:30 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gitster; +Cc: git

Okay here is a fixed series wrt the security issue Junio raised.
Instead of the old PARSEOPT_OPTS variable, I now only have
OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH to be set to non empty if you want to add
--keep-dashdash. The reason for that is that I dislike that every single
git-rev-parse --parseopt user had to do a `PASREOPT_OPTS=` at the
begining of each script, it's error prone, and ugly.

PARSEOPT_OPTS was an overkill as it wasn't really used for anything else
than OPTIONS_KEEPDASHDASH, and if it has to be used for more, it'll be
easy to extend the specification parser to take options on stdin rather
than through parameters.

I also removed the PARSEOPT_OPTS from git-clone.sh as it was a spurious
use, I don't intend users to override this variable, it's indeed an
internal that changes git-rev-parse --parseopt behaviour in a
incompatible way for the scripts that uses it, it should not be
user-tweakable anyway.

The 10 patch series (and not 11, I forgot about 7 when I incrementally
sent the previous one) is fetcheable from my repository:

  git://git.madism.org/git.git on branch ph/parseopt-sh

(ph/parseopt has the remaining patches that are problematic right now
either because of the small change -h vs. -H or the patches that
conflicts with git-fetch series right now, but in the spirit this is
definitely a ph/parseopt series).

Cheers,

+PARSEOPT
+--------
+
+In `--parseopt` mode, `git-rev-parse` helps massaging options to bring to shell
+scripts the same facilities C builtins have. It works as an option normalizer
+(e.g. splits single switches aggregate values), a bit like `getopt(1)` does.
+
+It takes on the standard input the specification of the options to parse and
+understand, and echoes on the standard ouput a line suitable for `sh(1)` `eval`
+to replace the arguments with normalized ones.  In case of error, it ouputs
+usage on the standard error stream, and exits with code 129.
+
+Input Format
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+`git-ref-parse --parseopt` input format is fully text based. It has two parts,
+separated by a line that contains only `--`. The lines before (should be more
+than one) are used for the usage. The lines after describe the options.
+
+Each line of options has this format:
+
+------------
+<opt_spec><arg_spec>? SP+ help LF
+------------
+
+`<opt_spec>`::
+	its format is the short option character, then the long option name
+        separated by a comma. Both parts are not required, though at least one
+        is necessary. `h,help`, `dry-run` and `f` are all three correct
+        `<opt_spec>`.
+
+`<arg_spec>`::
+	an `<arg_spec>` tells the option parser if the option has an argument
+        (`=`), an optionnal one (`?` though its use is discouraged) or none
+        (no `<arg_spec>` in that case).
+
+The rest of the line after as many spaces up to the ending line feed is used
+as the help associated to the option.
+
+Blank lines are ignored, and lines that don't match this specification are used
+as option group headers (start the line with a space to purposely create such
+lines).
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+------------
+OPTS_SPEC="\
+some-command [options] <args>...
+
+some-command does foo and bar !
+--
+h,help    show the help
+
+foo       some nifty option --foo
+bar=      some cool option --bar with an argument
+
+  An option group Header
+C?        option C with an optionnal argument"

Incidentally, I'm finishing a patch series to add git-describe style
placeholders.  It needs such an optimization even more badly (and has
it).  Speeding up other slow placeholder expansions falls out quite
naturally.  Please wait just a few minutes..

But --early-output does not imply --topo-order, I guess...

I would think you need _both_ in git log:

git log --early-output --topo-order <...remaining stuff...>

Am I missing something?

Marco


P.S: Why did you choose not let git log (i.e. Linus) to handle the
default number of commits?

"--early-output=50" instead of just "--early-output"

I would say, he added this feature mainly for his personal use, so why
don't let him to tweak git-log defaults to his wishes ;-)

* gitk graph routing problem
From: Alex Riesen @ 2007-11-04 10:46 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Paul Mackerras; +Cc: git, Junio C Hamano

To reproduce, try running in git repo:

    gitk 02f630448e5d48e..06ea6ba9cf46ef5

Than go some pages (around 5) forward. You should notice system load
going up rapidly. Now try paging back - and graph starts stretching
to the right, to the point nothing fits on the screen anymore.

Gitk as of commit 7388bcbc5431552718dde5c3259d861d2fa75a12 in git
repository. Git - v1.5.3.5-551-g02f6304 (terse fetch output and some
*really* unrelated local modifications. Anyway, the gitk is the same).
Bisect points to or around 6e8c87070306a757c4d7fd2c55cca3a90fe140c7
"gitk: Establish and use global left-to-right ordering for commits".
It loops heavily at this commit and looks broken in all subsequent
commits.

Last know good was 3244729aac7515c. The master of gitk repo is ok too.

Look here in Linus' patch:

+			if (!prefixcmp(arg, "--early-output")) {
+				int count = 100;
+				switch (arg[14]) {
+				case '=':
+					count = atoi(arg+15);
+					/* Fallthrough */
+				case 0:
+					revs->topo_order = 1;
+					revs->early_output = count;
+					continue;
+				}
+			}

So yes, --early-output does imply --topo-order.

Because I was thinking of adding a control in the edit/preferences
window for it later on.

Paul.
