This series depends on en/ort-perf-batch-11 textually, but is semantically independent of it. Changes since v3: * Changed Acked-by from Stolee to Reviewed-by. Changes since v2: * Made suggested minor tweaks from Stolee on Patch 1 * Dropped patch 3, for now * Added Stolee's Acked-by Changes since v1 (all for the first patch): * Add more comments explaining the sorting function, its purpose, and how its expected to be called * Small style fixup * Switch back to using string_list_sort() instead of direct QSORT() This short series has a few optimizations, but only one of which affects the testcases of interest (namely, reducing our time spent on sorting an array). It also fixes a few comments. For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28), the changes in just this series improves the performance as follows: Before Series After Series no-renames: 5.622 s ± 0.059 s 5.235 s ± 0.042 s mega-renames: 10.127 s ± 0.073 s 9.419 s ± 0.107 s just-one-mega: 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms 480.1 ms ± 3.9 ms As a reminder, before any merge-ort/diffcore-rename performance work, the performance results we started with were: no-renames-am: 6.940 s ± 0.485 s no-renames: 18.912 s ± 0.174 s mega-renames: 5964.031 s ± 10.459 s just-one-mega: 149.583 s ± 0.751 s Elijah Newren (4): merge-ort: replace string_list_df_name_compare with faster alternative diffcore-rename: avoid unnecessary strdup'ing in break_idx Fix various issues found in comments merge-ort: miscellaneous touch-ups diffcore-rename.c | 4 +- merge-ort.c | 80 ++++++++++++++++++++--------- t/t6423-merge-rename-directories.sh | 2 +- 3 files changed, 60 insertions(+), 26 deletions(-) base-commit: 76e253793c9a1d7fdd1836d5e4db26dabd3d713a Published-As: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/releases/tag/pr-962%2Fnewren%2Fort-perf-batch-12-v4 Fetch-It-Via: git fetch https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git pr-962/newren/ort-perf-batch-12-v4 Pull-Request: https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/962 Range-diff vs v3: 1: f63ffc2a7c22 ! 1: 140c1e89e0ec merge-ort: replace string_list_df_name_compare with faster alternative @@ Commit message just-one-mega: 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms 480.1 ms ± 3.9 ms Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@xxxxxxxxx> - Acked-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> + Reviewed-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ## merge-ort.c ## @@ merge-ort.c: static int detect_and_process_renames(struct merge_options *opt, 2: cd13499a6ff5 ! 2: be858c46cfe7 diffcore-rename: avoid unnecessary strdup'ing in break_idx @@ Commit message unrelated optimization noted in passing while looking at the code.
