From: Vicent Marti <tanoku@xxxxxxxxx>
In this patch, we use the bitmap API to perform the `Counting Objects`
phase in pack-objects, rather than a traditional walk through the object
graph. For a reasonably-packed large repo, the time to fetch and clone
is often dominated by the full-object revision walk during the Counting
Objects phase. Using bitmaps can reduce the CPU time required on the
server (and therefore start sending the actual pack data with less
delay).
For bitmaps to be used, the following must be true:
1. We must be packing to stdout (as a normal `pack-objects` from
`upload-pack` would do).
2. There must be a .bitmap index containing at least one of the
"have" objects that the client is asking for.
3. Bitmaps must be enabled (they are enabled by default, but can be
disabled by setting `pack.usebitmaps` to false, or by using
`--no-use-bitmap-index` on the command-line).
If any of these is not true, we fall back to doing a normal walk of the
object graph.
Here are some sample timings from a full pack of `torvalds/linux` (i.e.
something very similar to what would be generated for a clone of the
repository) that show the speedup produced by various
methods:
[existing graph traversal]
$ time git pack-objects --all --stdout --no-use-bitmap-index \
</dev/null >/dev/null
Counting objects: 3237103, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (508752/508752), done.
Total 3237103 (delta 2699584), reused 3237103 (delta 2699584)
real 0m44.111s
user 0m42.396s
sys 0m3.544s
[bitmaps only, without partial pack reuse; note that
pack reuse is automatic, so timing this required a
patch to disable it]
$ time git pack-objects --all --stdout </dev/null >/dev/null
Counting objects: 3237103, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (508752/508752), done.
Total 3237103 (delta 2699584), reused 3237103 (delta 2699584)
real 0m5.413s
user 0m5.604s
sys 0m1.804s
[bitmaps with pack reuse (what you get with this patch)]
$ time git pack-objects --all --stdout </dev/null >/dev/null
Reusing existing pack: 3237103, done.
Total 3237103 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
