[PATCH v2 4/6] name-rev --weight: cache the computed weight in notes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With the "weight" assigned to tip of each ref, we can give more
intuitive results from "name-rev" that is more suitable to answer
"what is the oldest tag that contains this commit?"  However, this
number is very expensive to compute.

Use the notes-cache mechanism to cache this value.  The result
becomes usable again.

    (priming the cache from scratch)
    $ rm .git/refs/notes/name-rev-weight
    $ /usr/bin/time git name-rev --weight --tags 0136db586c
    0136db586c tags/v3.5-rc1~83^2~81^2~76
    6.06user 0.46system 0:06.54elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 1861456maxresident)k
    8inputs+16outputs (0major+128576minor)pagefaults 0swaps

    (with cache already primed)
    $ /usr/bin/time git name-rev --weight --tags 0136db586c
    0136db586c tags/v3.5-rc1~83^2~81^2~76
    0.50user 0.22system 0:00.72elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 244224maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+16062minor)pagefaults 0swaps

    (the old "shortest path" version)
    $ /usr/bin/time git name-rev --tags 0136db586c
    0136db586c tags/v3.6-rc1~59^2~56^2~76
    0.31user 0.01system 0:00.32elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 243488maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+16000minor)pagefaults 0swaps

This version does not invalidate the cache in the presense of
modified grafts and object replacement, but in a later version we
can compute a hash of the grafts and replacement data and pass it as
the validity token to automatically invalidate the cache when these
data that affects the perceived topology change.
