[PATCH v2 05/10] commit: use generations in paint_down_to_common()

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

 



Define compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date(), which uses generation
numbers as a primary comparison and commit date to break ties (or as a
comparison when both commits do not have computed generation numbers).

Since the commit-graph file is closed under reachability, we know that
all commits in the file have generation at most GENERATION_NUMBER_MAX
which is less than GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY.

This change does not affect the number of commits that are walked during
the execution of paint_down_to_common(), only the order that those
commits are inspected. In the case that commit dates violate topological
order (i.e. a parent is "newer" than a child), the previous code could
walk a commit twice: if a commit is reached with the PARENT1 bit, but
later is re-visited with the PARENT2 bit, then that PARENT2 bit must be
propagated to its parents. Using generation numbers avoids this extra
effort, even if it is somewhat rare.
