As both supermodule and submodule are repositories, they can have commits with the same index. This means that were both the ith commit allocated for supermodule and submodule respectively. However, the commit-slab code treats them identically (because of the same index) and they (incorrectly) have same generation number and graph position. Switching to a global counter instead of per-repo counter avoids having two commits with the same index in the first place. > Second, Git stores many different types of information on slab already. > How comes that we have not had any problems till now? > > There is contains_cache, commit_seen, indegree_slab, author_date_slab, > commit_base, commit_pos, bloom_filter_slab, buffer_slab, > commit_rev_name, > commit_names, commit_name_slab, saved_parents, blame_suspects, > commit_todo_item. > That's a fair point - It seems rather unlikely that we had not faced this problem yet. > > > > Let's introduce a counter variable, `parsed_commits_count` to keep > > track > > of parsed commits so far. > > All right, thought it might be worth mentioning that it is a global > variable, or rather a static variable in a function. > Alright, noted. > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Abhishek Kumar <abhishekkumar8222@xxxxxxxxx> > > --- > > > > CI Build for the failing tests: > > https://travis-ci.com/github/abhishekkumar2718/git/jobs/345413840 > > The failed tests are, from what I see: > - t4060-diff-submodule-option-diff-format.sh > - t4041-diff-submodule-option.sh > - t4059-diff-submodule-not-initialized.sh > > > > > > alloc.c | 4 +++- > > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/alloc.c b/alloc.c > > index 1c64c4dd16..29f0e3aa80 100644 > > --- a/alloc.c > > +++ b/alloc.c > > @@ -101,7 +101,9 @@ void *alloc_object_node(struct repository *r) > > > > static unsigned int alloc_commit_index(struct repository *r) > > { > > - return r->parsed_objects->commit_count++; > > + static unsigned int parsed_commits_count = 0; > > + r->parsed_objects->commit_count++; > > Do we use r->parsed_objects->commit_count anywhere? We don't use it anywhere else. 14ba97f8 (alloc: allow arbitary repositories for alloc functions, 2019-05-15) made the count per repository but it's only been used to assign commit index.
