Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-05)
introduced batching of fetching missing blobs, so that the diff
machinery would have one fetch subprocess grab N blobs instead of N
processes each grabbing 1.
However, the diff machinery is not the only thing in a merge that needs
to work on blobs. The 3-way content merges need them as well. Rather
than download all the blobs 1 at a time, prefetch all the blobs needed
for regular content merges.
This does not cover all possible paths in merge-ort that might need to
download blobs. Others include:
- The blob_unchanged() calls to avoid modify/delete conflicts (when
blob renormalization results in an "unchanged" file)
- Preliminary content merges needed for rename/add and
rename/rename(2to1) style conflicts. (Both of these types of
conflicts can result in nested conflict markers from the need to do
two levels of content merging; the first happens before our new
prefetch_for_content_merges() function.)
The first of these wouldn't be an extreme amount of work to support, and
even the second could be theoretically supported in batching, but all of
these cases seem unusual to me, and this is a minor performance
optimization anyway; in the worst case we only get some of the fetches
batched and have a few additional one-off fetches. So for now, just
handle the regular 3-way content merges in our prefetching.
For the testcase from the previous commit, the number of downloaded
objects remains at 63, but this drops the number of fetches needed from
32 down to 20, a sizeable reduction.
