If the changed-path Bloom filters are relatively stable, then I propose trying to build upon them as a way to discover any deficiencies. Also, it's good to use them when we can. The goal I set out to achieve was to use Bloom filters as much as possible in git blame. I think I have achieved most of that, except I did not integrate it with the -C mode. In that case, the blob-diff computation takes a majority of the computation time, so short-circuiting the tree diff using Bloom filters. Also, it's just really complicated. If someone else thinks there is an easy win there, then please go ahead and give it a try with the extra logic presented here in PATCH 3. While I was playing around with Bloom filters and git blame, I purposefully got it working with some scenarios but not all. Then I tried to trigger a failing build in the blame tests using GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1 and GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_CHANGED_PATHS=1. But the tests all succeeded! Examining the data, I see that the commit-graph didn't have the Bloom filter chunks at all. This is because we are not setting the flag to write them in the right spot. The GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=1 variable triggers a commit-graph write during git commit, so we need to update the code there instead of just inspecting the variable in git commit-graph write. (This is PATCH 2.) By updating this variable, I saw some test failures in other tests regarding non-exact pathspecs. I fixed these in PATCH 1 so we keep clean builds. I based this change on [1] but it would apply cleanly (and logically) on gs/commit-graph-path-filter Thanks, -Stolee [1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.601.v2.git.1586437211842.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/ Derrick Stolee (3): revision: complicated pathspecs disable filters commit: write commit-graph with bloom filters blame: use changed-path Bloom filters blame.c | 139 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- blame.h | 6 ++ builtin/blame.c | 10 ++++ builtin/commit.c | 4 +- revision.c | 9 +++ 5 files changed, 158 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) base-commit: f4df00a0dd448edce0e854a97f63598fefe27d27 Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-609%2Fderrickstolee%2Fbloom-blame-v1 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-609/derrickstolee/bloom-blame-v1 Pull-Request: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/609 -- gitgitgadget
