This patch series performs a decently-sized refactoring of the revision-walk machinery. Well, "refactoring" is probably the wrong word, as I don't actually remove the old code. Instead, when we see certain options in the 'rev_info' struct, we redirect the commit-walk logic to a new set of methods that distribute the workload differently. By using generation numbers in the commit-graph, we can significantly improve 'git log --graph' commands (and the underlying 'git rev-list --topo-order'). On the Linux repository, I got the following performance results when comparing to the previous version with or without a commit-graph: Test: git rev-list --topo-order -100 HEAD HEAD~1, no commit-graph: 6.80 s HEAD~1, w/ commit-graph: 0.77 s HEAD, w/ commit-graph: 0.02 s Test: git rev-list --topo-order -100 HEAD -- tools HEAD~1, no commit-graph: 9.63 s HEAD~1, w/ commit-graph: 6.06 s HEAD, w/ commit-graph: 0.06 s If you want to read this series but are unfamiliar with the commit-graph and generation numbers, then I recommend reading Documentation/technical/commit-graph.txt or a blob post [1] I wrote on the subject. In particular, the three-part walk described in "revision.c: refactor basic topo-order logic" is present (but underexplained) as an animated PNG [2]. Since revision.c is an incredibly important (and old) portion of the codebase -- and because there are so many orthogonal options in 'struct rev_info' -- I consider this submission to be "RFC quality". That is, I am not confident that I am not missing anything, or that my solution is the best it can be. I did merge this branch with ds/commit-graph-with-grafts and the "DO-NOT-MERGE: write and read commit-graph always" commit that computes a commit-graph with every 'git commit' command. The test suite passed with that change, available on GitHub [3]. To ensure that I cover at least the case I think are interesting, I added tests to t6600-test-reach.sh to verify the walks report the correct results for the three cases there (no commit-graph, full commit-graph, and a partial commit-graph so the walk starts at GENERATION_NUMBER_INFINITY). One notable case that is not included in this series is the case of a history comparison such as 'git rev-list --topo-order A..B'. The existing code in limit_list() has ways to cut the walk short when all pending commits are UNINTERESTING. Since this code depends on commit_list instead of the prio_queue we are using here, I chose to leave it untouched for now. We can revisit it in a separate series later. Since handle_commit() turns on revs->limited when a commit is UNINTERESTING, we do not hit the new code in this case. Removing this 'revs->limited = 1;' line yields correct results, but the performance is worse. This series is based on ds/reachable.
