Should is too soft, we cannot. What if it changes mainline files, they will
not have common ancestry. And also the sub-tree checkout un-checkout will take
ages. Chris must have merged with his subtree with a rebase not a merge. I suspect
Linus git tree will have to rebase. This is the first time I've seen such a merge.
for example see be0e5c097f it has no parent, and so on.

I think we should really avoid merging subtrees to the linux kernel. It makes 
bisecting a real PITA. 
Furthermore, It is unlikely, but what if the problem is part of the 581 
changesets from btrfs?

I guess it is a subtree merge.  So no, nothing went wrong

Use "git bisect skip" to skip over those.

In fact, retesting with a clean repository shows, that there are only btrfs 
files - nothing else.

Linus did you pull a broken btrfs repository?

doing a 
git bisect start
git bisect good a3a798c
git bisect bad v2.6.29-rc1

results in a repository without several files, e.g Makefile!
git describe also fails.

Any ideas how to fix this problem to continue with my bisect?

I think my patch is in a different thread as it was a

This I think needs some further cooking.  I guess with addition of one
more patch to series categories could be sorted together with projects
they contain, and not always have to be in fixed ordering.

If I remember correctly the only point of discussion is calling
convention for git_commitdiff, and whether 'patches' view should
(re)use git_commitdiff or use its own subroutine.

AFAICT Junio had some style issues which were not addressed.

* [PATCH/RFC v6 2/3] lstat_cache(): introduce has_symlink_or_noent_leading_path() function
From: Kjetil Barvik @ 2009-01-11 13:29 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Ren� Scharfe, Linus Torvalds, Junio C Hamano,

In-Reply-To: <1231680542-17315-1-git-send-email-barvik@broadpark.no>

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8, Size: 7998 bytes --]

In some cases, especially inside the unpack-trees.c file, and inside
the verify_absent() function, we can avoid some unnecessary calls to
lstat(), if the lstat_cache() function can also can be told to keep
track of none existing directories.

So we update the lstat_cache() function to handle this fact new fact,
introduce a new wrapper function, and the result is that we save lots
of lstat() calls for a removed directory which previously contained
lots of files, when we call this new wrapper of lstat_cache() instead
of the old one.

We do similar changes inside the unlink_entry() function, since if we
can already say that the leading directory component of a pathname
does not exist, it is not necessary to try to remove a pathname below
it!

Thanks to Junio C Hamano, Linus Torvalds and René Scharfe for valuable
comments to this patch!

* [PATCH/RFC v6 3/3] lstat_cache(): introduce has_dirs_only_path() function
From: Kjetil Barvik @ 2009-01-11 13:29 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Ren� Scharfe, Linus Torvalds, Junio C Hamano,
	Kjetil Barvik
In-Reply-To: <1231680542-17315-1-git-send-email-barvik@broadpark.no>

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8, Size: 8518 bytes --]

Inside the create_directories() function inside entry.c we currently
do an stat() or lstat() call for each path component of the pathname
'path' each and every time called.  For the 'git checkout' command,
this function is called on each file for which we must do an update
(ce->ce_flags & CE_UPDATE), so we get lots and lots of calls...

To fix this, we make a new wrapper to the lstat_cache() function, and
call the wrapper function instead of the calls to the stat() or the
lstat() functions.  Since the paths given to the create_directories()
function, is sorted alphabetically, the new wrapper would be very
cache effective in this situation.

To support it we must update the lstat_cache() function to be able to
say that "pleace test the complete length of 'name'", and also to give
it the length of a prefix, where the cache should use the stat()
function instead of the lstat() function to test each path component.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano, Linus Torvalds and René Scharfe for valuable
comments to this patch!

* [PATCH/RFC v6 1/3] lstat_cache(): more cache effective symlink/directory detection
From: Kjetil Barvik @ 2009-01-11 13:29 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Ren� Scharfe, Linus Torvalds, Junio C Hamano,
	Kjetil Barvik
In-Reply-To: <1231680542-17315-1-git-send-email-barvik@broadpark.no>

[-- Warning: decoded text below may be mangled, UTF-8 assumed --]
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8, Size: 7311 bytes --]

Make the cache functionality more effective.  Previously when A/B/C/D
was in the cache and A/B/C/E/file.c was called for, there was no match
at all from the cache.  Now we use the fact that the paths "A", "A/B"
and "A/B/C" are already tested, and we only need to do an lstat() call
on "A/B/C/E".

We only cache/store the last path regardless of its type.  Since the
cache functionality is always used with alphabetically sorted names
(at least it seems so for me), there is no need to store both the last
symlink-leading path and the last real-directory path.  Note that if
the cache is not called with (mostly) alphabetically sorted names,
neither the old, nor this new one, would be very effective.

Previously, when symlink A/B/C/S was cached/stored in the symlink-
leading path, and A/B/C/file.c was called for, it was not easy to use
the fact that we already knew that the paths "A", "A/B" and "A/B/C"
are real directories.

Avoid copying the first path components of the name 2 zillion times
when we test new path components.  Since we always cache/store the
last path, we can copy each component as we test those directly into
the cache.  Previously we ended up doing a memcpy() for the full
path/name right before each lstat() call, and when updating the cache
for each time we have tested a new path component.

We also use less memory, that is, PATH_MAX bytes less memory on the
stack and PATH_MAX bytes less memory on the heap.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano, Linus Torvalds and René Scharfe for valuable
comments to this patch!

* [PATCH/RFC v6 0/3] git checkout: optimise away lots of lstat() calls
From: Kjetil Barvik @ 2009-01-11 13:28 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Ren� Scharfe, Linus Torvalds, Junio C Hamano,
	Kjetil Barvik

Changes since version 5:

- After comments from René Scharfe, the usage of the lstat_stat()
  function inside entry.c has got it's own wrapper,
  has_dirs_only_path().

- All wrapper functions inside cache.h is moved inside symlink.c, and
  updated to be normal C extern functions (not inline functions).
  Thanks, René!

- The clear_lstat_cache() function is deleted, and instead we do an
  safeguard if-test to detect changes to track_flags or
  prefix_len_stat_func.

- Introduce a 'static inline reset_lstat_cache()' function, and make
  an struct of all the cache variables.

- The patch is split up into 3 parts again.

That's all changes this time!  Then some questions:

* Inside commit message for commit c40641b77b0274186fd1b327d5dc3246f814aaaf
* ("Optimize symlink/directory detection") Linus Torvalds writes
| [...]
| This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we
| eventually never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all*
| when checking the index, but always check the full path
| carefully. Right now we do not generally check the whole path for
| all our normal quick index revalidation.

  I am not quite sure what Linus is thinking of here, and in
  particular what an (eventually) extended interface should look like.

  I have been thinking of maybe introduce a "git_lstat()" like wrapper
  with the same arguments as the lstat() function, and then when
  possible, retrieve the contents of 'struct stat' from the cache.
  Would this sort of "git_lstat()" like wrapper be useful?

  I think it then could be used to simplify the first 7 lines of the
  check_removed() function inside diff-lib.c, to in some cases be able
  to do 1 instead of 2 calls to lstat(), and maybe similar things at
  other places?

  Should the wrapper return an error if it is able to discover an
  symlink somewhere in the path, like has_symlink_leading_path()
  already does today?

  But, unless someone strongly ask for this "git_lstat()" like wrapper
  to be included inside this patch series, I guess this should be
  future work.

  I hope that the now 3 patches is at least one step in the right
  direction!

| We should also make sure that we're careful about all the
| invalidation, ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory
| we should invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa
| for the directory cache).

  This is an argument for the clear_lstat_cache() function, I guess.
        

-----

I have just started to clone some interesting Linux git trees to watch
the development more closely, and therefore also started to use git. I
noticed that 'git checkout' takes some time, and especially that the
'git checkout' command does lots and lots of lstat() calls.

After some more investigation and thinking, I have made 3 patches and
been able to optimise away over 40% of all lstat() calls in some cases
for the 'git checkout' command.  Also, if you use a large path to the
'--prefix' argument to the 'git checkout-index' command, and you have
lots of files, the savings can be really huge!

The 3 patches is against git master, and the git 'make test' test
suite still passes after each patch.  To document the improvement,
below is some numbers, which compares before and after the 3
patches. To reproduce the numbers:

- git clone the Linux git tree to be able to get the Linux tags
  'v2.6.25' and 'v2.6.27'.
- git checkout -b my-v2.6.27 v2.6.27
- git checkout -b my-v2.6.25 v2.6.25

Then, when the current branch is 'my-v2.6.25', do:

  strace -o strace_to27 -T git checkout -q my-v2.6.27

And then pretty print the 'strace_to27' file.  Below is the numbers
from the current git version (before the 3 patches).  Notice that we
do an lstat() call on the "arch" directory over 6000 times!

* [PATCH] bash completion: refactor diff options
From: Thomas Rast @ 2009-01-11 13:14 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Shawn O. Pearce

diff, log and show all take the same diff options.  Refactor them from
__git_diff and __git_log into a variable, and complete them in
__git_show too.

This conflicts with the --patience series; I can send a version based

As far as I understood from your message, you don't think that cloning
into empty directories is necessary. So, I thought, the best solution for
yesterday was "[PATCH] add is_dot_or_dotdot inline function" (to make you
happy ;)).

But the workarounds like this:

|    $ git clone -n $there it.git
|    $ mv it.git/.git . && rmdir it.git && git checkout -f

are painful, especially for newbies who have no idea about anything but
'git clone'.

Btw, I've sent some worthwhile patches, I but haven't got any reply from you:
	[PATCH] use || instead of | in logical expressions
	[PATCH] Replace deprecated dashed git commands in usage
	[PATCH] remove unnecessary 'if'
It's better if you say "No" than nothing.

The die() message updated accordingly.

The previous behaviour was to only allow cloning when the destination
directory doesn't exist.

Hmm.

Note that because we are now pushing instead of just replacing the
signal handler, it might matter if it gets called multiple times (though
I think most of the cleanup functions are relatively harmless if run
multiple times). Most of the callsites protect against installing the
signal handler twice, but I think this one should probably be moved up
inside the atexit_asked condition:

  if (! atexit_asked &&
      (temp[0].name == temp[0].tmp_path ||
       temp[1].name == temp[1].tmp_path)) {
          atexit_asked = 1;
          atexit(remove_tempfile);
  }

* [PATCH 4/4] pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death
From: Jeff King @ 2009-01-11 11:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Johannes Sixt; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Johannes Schindelin, git
In-Reply-To: <20090111112222.GA29656@coredump.intra.peff.net>

Since ea27a18 (spawn pager via run_command interface), the
original git process actually does git work, and the pager
is a child process (actually, on Windows it has always been
that way, since Windows lacks fork). After spawning the
pager, we register an atexit() handler that waits for the
pager to finish.

Unfortunately, that handler does not always run. In
particular, if git is killed by a signal, then we exit
immediately. The calling shell then thinks that git is done;
however, the pager is still trying to run and impact the
terminal. The result can be seen by running a long git
process with a pager (e.g., "git log -p") and hitting ^C.
Depending on your config, you should see the shell prompt,
but pressing a key causes the pager to do any terminal
de-initialization sequence.

This patch just intercepts any death-dealing signals and
waits for the pager before dying. Under typical less
configuration, that means hitting ^C will cause git to stop
generating output, but the pager will keep running.

* [PATCH 3/4] refactor signal handling for cleanup functions
From: Jeff King @ 2009-01-11 11:36 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Johannes Sixt; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Johannes Schindelin, git
In-Reply-To: <20090111112222.GA29656@coredump.intra.peff.net>

The current code is very inconsistent about which signals
are caught for doing cleanup of temporary files and lock
files. Some callsites checked only SIGINT, while others
checked a variety of death-dealing signals.

This patch factors out those signals to a single function,
and then calls it everywhere. For some sites, that means
this is a simple clean up. For others, it is an improvement
in that they will now properly clean themselves up after a
larger variety of signals.

Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

I'm assuming there was no good reason _not_ to be handling those other
signals at some of the "just handle SIGINT" sites. A sigchain
implementation which handled "remove_lock_file" without needing
"remove_lock_file_on_signal" could also call atexit(), too. So you could
have a one liner

  register_cleanup(remove_lock_file);

However, there is one case that doesn't use an atexit() handler:
http-push.c. I don't know if this is a bug or an intentional omission.
